Answer: definite proportions.
Explanation:
1) The definite proportions law states that compounds will always have the same kind of atoms (elements) in the same mass proportion (ratios).
2) For example, a molecule of water will alwys have the same mass ratio of hydrogen atoms to oxygen atoms. That is what permits to obtain the chemical formula of the water molecule as H₂O.
The mass of the two hydrogen atoms will be in a fixed ratio respect to the mass of the oxygen atoms.
Then, if you have one reactant in less proportion than the other, respect to the ratio stated by the chemical formula of water, the former will react completely (it is the limiting reactant) with the corresponding (proportional) mass of the later. Then there will be an excess of the later reactant which will not react (will remain unchanged).
The reactants can only react in the proportion defined by the chemical formulas of the final products.
Answer:
F2 is the limiting reactant
27.6 grams of NaF is produced.
Explanation:
Balance the equation first.
2Na+ F2 ---> 2NaF
To find the limiting reactant, solve for how much NaF can be produced with Na and F2
12.5g F2 x (1 mole F2/ 38.00 grams F2)x (2 mole NaF/ 1 mole F2)
=0.658 moles NaF
16.2g Na x (1 mole Na/ 22.99 grams Na)x (2 mole NaF/ 2 mole Na)
=0.705 moles NaF
Since F2 produced the least NaF, F2 is the limiting reactant.
Now, to find how much NaF there is, use the moles solved above with F2 as the limiting reactant.
0.658 moles NaF x (41.99 grams NaF/ 1 mole NaF)= 27.6 moles NaF
27.6 moles of NaF would be theoretically produced.
The speed at which seismic waves travel depends on the properties of the material that they are passing through. For example, the denser a material is, the faster a seismic wave travels. P waves can travel through liquid and solids and gases, while S waves only travel through solids.
I think the answer is yes
