The balanced chemical reaction is written as:

<span>Zn + 2AgNO3 = Zn(NO3)2 + 2Ag

To determine the grams of silver metal that is being produced, it is important to first determine which is the limiting reactant and the excess reactant from the given initial amounts. We do as follows:

4.35 g Zn ( 1 mol / 65.38 g ) ( 2 mol AgNO3 / 1 mol Zn ) = 0.1331 mol AgNO3 needed
35.8 g AgNO3 ( 1 mol / 169.87 g ) ( 1 mol Zn / 2 mol AgNO3 ) = 0.1054 mol Zn needed

Therefore, the limiting reactant would be the zinc metal since it would be consumed completely in the reaction. The excess amount of AgNO3 would be:

0.2107 mol AgNO3 - 0.1331 mol AgNO3 = 0.0776 mol AgNO3 left ( 169.87 g / 1 mol ) = 13.19 g AgNO3 left

0.0665 mol Zn ( 2 mol Ag / 1 mol Zn) ( 107.9 g / 1 mol) = 14.3581 g Ag produced</span>

A sample of ammonia has a mass of 82.9 g. how many molecules are in this sample?
alina1380 [7]
The chemical formula for ammonia is NH3. So first, you need to find the molar mass of ammonia (how many grams in one mole).
N=14g
H3=3g
So one mole of NH3 is 17 grams, you can divide 82.9 grams by 17 grams to find the number of molecules. The answer should be 4.876 moles (molecules) of ammonia. Hope this helps!

Tamoxifen is a drug used to prevent recurrence of certain types of breast cancers that require estrogen to grow. Tamoxifen binds
fredd [130]

Answer:

Tamoxifen is an irreversible, competitive inhibitor.

Explanation:

In order to binds to the active site of the estrogen receptor protein, tamoxifen have to compete with the other chemical compound, and inhibits the estrogen release, so it is a competitive inhibitor. Then, you said that when tamoxifen binds to the receptor,  the protein is permanently deactivated, so it is also irreversible.
