<h3>Answer:</h3>

Limiting reactant is Lithium

<h3>Explanation:</h3>

<u>We are given;</u>

  1. Mass of Lithium as 1.50 g
  2. Mass of nitrogen is 1.50 g

We are required to determine the rate limiting reagent.

  • First, we write the balanced equation for the reaction

6Li(s) + N₂(g) → 2Li₃N

From the equation, 6 moles of Lithium reacts with 1 mole of nitrogen.

  • Second, we determine moles of Lithium and nitrogen given.

Moles = Mass ÷ Molar mass

Moles of Lithium

Molar mass of Li = 6.941 g/mol

Moles of Li = 1.50 g ÷ 6.941 g/mol

                   = 0.216 moles

Moles of nitrogen gas

Molar mass of Nitrogen gas is 28.0 g/mol

Moles of nitrogen gas = 1.50 g ÷ 28.0 g/mol

                                     = 0.054 moles

  • According to the equation, 6 moles of Lithium reacts with 1 mole of nitrogen.
  • Therefore, 0.216 moles of lithium will require 0.036 moles (0.216 moles ÷6) of nitrogen gas.
  • On the other hand, 0.054 moles of nitrogen, would require 0.324 moles of Lithium.

Thus, Lithium is the limiting reagent while nitrogen is in excess.

As with other ionic compounds, potassium bromate, KBrO3, dissociates into ions when it dissolves in water. If 13.8 g of KBrO3 is
chubhunter [2.5K]

Answer:

ΔH of dissociation is 38,0 kJ/mol

Explanation:

The dissociation reaction of KBrO₃ is:

<em>KBrO₃ → K⁺ + BrO₃⁻ </em>

This dissolution consume heat that is evidenced with the decrease in water temperature.

The heat consumed is:

q = CΔTm

Where C is specific heat of water (4,186 J/mol°C)

ΔT is the temperature changing (18,0°C - 13,0°C = 5,0°C)

And m is mass of water (150,0 mL ≈ 150,0 g)

Replacing, heat consumed is:

q = 3139,5 J ≡ 3,14 kJ

13,8 g of KBrO₃ are:

13,8 g×(1mol/167g) = 0,0826 moles

Thus, ΔH of dissociation is:

3,14kJ / 0,0826mol = <em>38,0 kJ/mol</em>

<em></em>

I hope it helps!
