<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.

madreJ [45]

Answer:

On genes within chromosomes

Explanation:

-The fur pattern is a genetic trait whose instruction is carried in the DNA's base sequence.

-These instructions are organized into genes and each gene is only responsble for the making of a functional product.

-Hence, the instructions are stored on genes within chromosomes.

What is the mass of an atom with 15 neutrons and 13 electrons ?
slava [35]
The mass would be 28. The mass of an atom equals the number of neutrons and protons added together. In this case, they do not say the protons. But we must use our inside knowledge to know that the number of protons equals the number of electrons. Thus, your number of protons would be 13
