SO₄²⁻ +NH₃ → SO₃²⁻ + H₂O +N₂
The balanced of the above redox reaction is as below
3SO₄²⁻ + 2NH₃ → 3SO₃²⁻ + 3 H₂O + N₂
Explanation
According to the law of mass conservation the number of atoms in the reactant side must be equal to number of atoms in product side.
Inserting coefficient 3 in front of SO₄² , 2 in front of NH₃, 3 in front of SO₃²⁻ and 3 in front of H₂O balance the equation above. This is because the number of atoms are equal in both side.
for example there are 2 atoms of N in both side of the reaction.
Answer:
sodium hydroxide is the limiting reactant
Explanation:
The first step is usually to put down the balanced reaction equation. This is the first thing to do when solving any problem related to stoichiometry. The balanced reaction equation serves as a guide during the solution.
2NBr3 + 3NaOH = N2 + 3NaBr + 3HOBr
Let us pick nitrogen gas as our product of interest. Any of the reactants that gives a lower number of moles of nitrogen gas is the limiting reactant.
For nitrogen tribromide
From the balanced reaction equation;
2 moles of nitrogen tribromide yields 1 mole of nitrogen gas
4.3 moles of nitrogen tribromide will yield 4.3 ×1/ 2 = 2.15 moles of nitrogen gas
For sodium hydroxide;
3 moles of sodium hydroxide yields 1 mole of nitrogen gas
5.9 moles of sodium hydroxide yields 5.9 × 1/ 3= 1.97 moles of nitrogen gas
Therefore, sodium hydroxide is the limiting reactant.
Nothing in particular determines the name of an element, it could range from who discovered it to where it was discovered!
