Ammonia reacts with diatomic oxygen to form nitric oxide and water vapor: 4nh3 + 5o2 → 4no + 6h2o when 40.0 g nh3 and 50.0 g o2

are allowed to react, which is the limiting reagent?

Convert the mass to moles:

40.0 grams of NH3 / 17.03 g/mol = 2.35 moles NH3<span>
<span>50.0 grams of O2 / 31.998 g/mol = 1.56 moles O2</span></span>

Get the actual ratio:

NH3/O2 = 2.35 / 1.56 = 1.5

 

The theoretical ratio is 4 NH3 to 5 O2, that is:

(NH3/O2)theo = 4 / 5 = 0.8

 

<span>Since actual > theoretical and the ratio is NH3/O2, therefore the limiting reagent is O2.</span>

A 2.5 L flask is filled with 0.25 atm SO3, 0.20 atm SO2, and 0.40 atm O2, and allowed to reach equilibrium. Assume at the temper
Anit [1.1K]

Explanation:

Reaction equation for the given chemical reaction is as follows.

      2SO_{3} \rightleftharpoons 2SO_{2} + O_{2}

Equation for reaction quotient is as follows.

         Q = \frac{P^{2}_{SO_{2}} \times P_{O_{2}}}{P^{2}_{SO_{3}}}

             = \frac{(0.20)^{2} \times 0.40}{(0.25)^{2}}

             = 0.256

As, Q > K (= 0.12)

The effect on the partial pressure of SO_{3} as equilibrium is achieved by using Q, is as follows.

  • This means that there are too much products.
  • Equilibrium will shift to the left towards reactants.
  • More SO_{3} is formed.
  • Partial pressure of SO_{3} increases.

Why is red the last color seen at sunset?
Dimas [21]
Within the visible range of light, red<span> light waves are scattered the least by atmospheric gas molecules. So at sunrise and </span>sunset, when the sunlight travels a long path through the atmosphere to reach our eyes, the blue light has been mostly removed, leaving mostly red<span> and yellow light remaining.</span>

Give an explanation of how an electrical current is produced
Julli [10]

\huge\underline{ \overline{ \underline{ \bf{your \: answer}}}}

Electric current can be generated by moving a metal wire through a magnetic field. It is also different than static electricity, which is the accumulation of charges on a surface. <u>Electric generators rotate a coil</u> of wires through a magnetic field.
