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.

You have a 5-liter container with 1.30 x 1024 molecules of ammonia gas (NH3) at STP.
bogdanovich [222]

Answer:

3). 1.30 × 10^(24) molecules

Explanation:

From avogadro's law which state that equal volume of all gases at the same temperature and pressure contain the same number of molecules.

We can relate it to this question as;

V₁/n₁ = V₂/n₂

Where;

V₁ is initial volume

n₁ is initial number of molecules

V₂ is final volume

n₂ is final number of molecules

Thus at STP, we have V₁ = V₂ and as such Plugging in the relevant values gives;

5/(1.30 x 10^(24)) = 5/n₂

n₂ = 1.30 x 10^(24) molecules

Ethanol (C2H5OH) and water (H2O) are both liquids at or near room temperature. When a sample of ethanol is poured into a beaker
BaLLatris [955]

Answer:

a. Are miscible because each can hydrogen bond with the other.

Explanation:

Both ethanol and water are miscible. The reason why they can both mix freely is due to the hydrogen bonds that will form between their molecular structure.

Hydrogen bonds are special dipole-dipole attraction between polar molecules in which hydrogen atoms are directly joined to an electronegative atom.

Ethanol has an hydroxyl group which will bond to form an intermolecular bond with the oxygen and hydrogen on the water molecule. This attraction makes them miscible.
