What is the limiting reagent when 49.84 g of nitrogen react with 10.7 g of hydrogen to make ammonia

If we were to make room for errors, there should really be no limiting reagent because practically all of both Nitrogen and Hydrogen is used up during this reaction. If this values were actually exact, then Nitrogen would be the limiting reagent, but a very very little amount of Nitogen is needed for all the Hydrogen to react.

We solve this problem by first writing the equation
N2 + 3H2 = 2NH3
N2 = 14g*2 = 28g, 3H2 = 3(1*2) = 6g
so 28g of Nitrogen needs 6g of Hydrogen for this reaction. Thus if we had 10.67g of Hydrogen in the reaction, 6g*49.84g/28g of hydrogen is needed to react = 10.68g of Hydrogen, but since we have 10.7g of it thus it is excess and thus the limiting reagent has to be Nitrogen, but notice that 10.68g and 10.7g are practically the same, so there might actually not be a limiting reagent. Using the other value(10.7), the amount of Nitrogen required would be 10.7g*28g/6g = 49.93, and since this is slightly more than the 49.84g we have, this confirms that Nitrogen is the limiting reagent. But note still that since this values are really close, there is a possibility that there is neither a limiting nor an excess reagent

solniwko [45]
The solid form of a substance is usually more dense than its liquid and gaseous forms. Similarly the liquid form is usually more dense than the gaseous form. Ice floating in water is an exception that breaks the general density rule. So option “A” is the correct option in regards to the given question. In case of ice formation, actually the density of water decreases by about 9%. This is the main reason behind ice floating in water. Pure water has the maximum density at 4 degree centigrade.

Why the bonds between nonmentals tend to be covalent
natita [175]
Ionic bonds form when a nonmetal and a metal exchange electrons, while covalent bonds form when electrons are shared between two nonmetals. An ionic bond is a type of chemical bond formed through an electrostatic attraction between two oppositely charged ions.

What does molality measure?
lisov135 [29]

Answer:

Molality measure C. Concentration

Explanation:

Molality is used to measure concentration of solute molecule present in a solution.Molality represent the presence of total number of solute molecules  in a kilgram of solvent.

      For exam if 6 moles of a solute is present in 1 kg of solvent then the concentration of that solute molecule will be 6 molal.The SI unit of molality is mole/kg or milimole/gram.
