Answer:

S is the limiting reagent.

Explanation:

To find the limiting reactant we must first write the balanced chemical reaction. It must be correctly balanced so that we can find the proper mole ratios.

2 S (s) + 3 O2 (g) + 4 NaOH (aq) → 2 Na2SO4 (aq) + 2 H2O (l)

After this we will convert our measurements to moles. For mass we do this by dividing by the molar mass.

2g ÷ 32.06 = 0.06238mol S

3g ÷ 32.00 = 0.09375mol O₂

Now that we have the moles of each of the reactants, we can multiply them by their mole ratio with a reactant.

0.06238mol S × 2/2 = 0.06238mol H2O

0.09375mol O₂ × 2/3 = 0.06250mol H2O

S is our limiting reagent because it makes the smaller amount of moles.

What’s the distance from the nucleus of an atom to its theoretical outer edge of electron orbits
ollegr [7]

Answer:

The range of atoms = (30-300 pm) depending upon the element

Explanation:

The Atomic radii of the atom is the distance from the center of the circle to the outermost orbital.

The center of the circle is the nucleus and the radii is the outermost boundary.

The actual size of the atom is decided on the basis of the Zeff . Also known as <em>effective nuclear charge.</em>

<em>Zeff: It is the net positive charge felt by the outermost electron by the nucleus.</em>

<em>The value of Zeff depends upon the shielding constant. More the shielding less will be the Zeff . Hence the size of the atom increases.</em>

Due to shielding the outermost electrons feel less pull of nucleus.

<em>The greater the Zeff , the smaller the radius of the atom.</em>

The formula used to calculate the atomic mass is :

r_{n}=\frac{52.9n^{2}}{Z}pm

Here "pm"= picometers

1 pm = 10^{-12}m

<u>The size of the smallest atom H-atom = 120 pm</u>

<u>The range of atoms = (30-300 pm)</u>

Read the word equation: “Propane gas plus oxygen gas produces __________.”
Dmitriy789 [7]

Answer:

Propane gas plus oxygen gas produces water and carbon dioxide.

Explanation:

This is the initial chemical equation: C3H8 + O2 = CO2 + H2O

This is the balanced chemical equation: C3H8 + 5 O2 = 3 CO2 + 4 H2O

The enthalpy of fusion of methanol (CH3OH) is 3.16 kJ/mol. How much heat would be absorbed or released upon freezing 25.6 grams
Verdich [7]

Answer:

There is  2.52 kJ of energy released (option 4)

Explanation:

Step 1: Data given

The enthalpy of fusion of methanol (CH3OH) is 3.16 kJ/mol

Mass of methanol = 25.6 grams

Molar mass of methanol = 32.04 g/mol

Step 2: Calculate moles of methanol

Moles methanol = mass methanol / molar mass methanol

Moles methanol = 25.6 grams / 32.04 g/mol

Moles methanol = 0.799 moles

Step 3: Calculate energy transfer

Energy  transfer = moles * enthalpy of fusion

Energy = 0.799 moles * 3.16 kJ/mol

Energy = 2.52 kJ released

There is  2.52 kJ of energy released
