One of the steps in the commercial process for converting ammonia to nitric acid is the conversion of NH3 to NO: 4NH3 (g) 5O2 (g

)--> 4NO (g) 6H2O (g) In a certain experiment 2.00 g of NH3 reacts with 2.50 g of O2. Which is the limiting reactant?

Answer:

O2 is the limiting reactant.

Explanation:

Step 1: Data given

Mass of NH3 = 2.00 grams

Mass of O2 = 2.50 grams

Molar mass NH3 = 17.03 g/mol

Molar mass O2 = 32 g/mol

Step 2: The balanced equation

4NH3(g) +  5O2 (g) → 4NO(g) +  6H2O (g)

Step 3: calculate moles NH3

Moles NH3 = mass NH3 / molar mass NH3

Moles NH3 = 2.00 grams / 17.03 g/mol

Moles NH3 = 0.117 moles

Step 4: Calculate moles O2

Moles O2 = mass / molar mass O2

Moles O2 = 2.50 grams / 32 g/mol

Moles O2 = 0.0781 moles

Step 5: Calculate the limiting reactant

For 4 moles NH3 we need 5 moles O2 to produce 4 moles NO and 6 moles H2O

O2 is the limiting reactant. It will completely be consumed. (0.0781 moles). NH3 is in excess. There will react 4/5 * 0.0781 moles =  0.0625 moles

There will remain 0.117 - 0.0625 = 0.0545 moles NH3

O2 is the limiting reactant.

Which statement is true of the particles that make up a substance?
victus00 [196]

Particles in a gas have more energy than particles in a liquid. Because in gaseous state particles are free to move around due to which kinetic energy of molecule or gas increases and hence overall energy increases

How many molecules are contained 9.6 mol C2H4?
maks197457 [2]

Answer:

N = 5.8 × 10²⁴ molecules

Explanation:

Step 1: Given and required data

  • Moles of C₂H₄ (n): 9.6 mol
  • Avogadro's number (NA): 6.02 × 10²³ molecules/mol

Step 2: Calculate the number of molecules (N) in 9.6 moles of C₂H₄

To convert moles to molecules we need Avogadro's number: there are 6.02 × 10²³ molecules of C₂H₄ per mole of C₂H₄

N = n × NA

N = 9.6 mol × 6.02 × 10²³ molecules/mol

N = 5.8 × 10²⁴ molecules

Answer:

16974J of energy are required

Explanation:

The energy required is:

* The energy to heat solid water from -15°C to 0°C using:

q = m*S*ΔT

* The energy to convert the solid water to liquid water:

q = dH*m

* The energy required to increase the temperature of liquid water from 0°C to 75°C

q = m*S*ΔT

The first energy is:

q = m*S*ΔT

<em>m = Mass water = 25g</em>

<em>S is specific heat of ice = 2.03J/g°C</em>

<em>ΔT is change in temperature = 0°C - (-15°C) = 15°C</em>

q = 25g*2.03J/g°C*15°C

q = 761.3J

The second energy is:

q = dH*m

<em>m = Mass water = 25g</em>

<em>dH is heat of fusion of water = 80cal/g</em>

q = 80cal/g*25g

q = 2000cal * (4.184J/1cal) = 8368J

The third energy is:

q = m*S*ΔT

<em>m = Mass water = 25g</em>

<em>S is specific heat of water= 4.184J/g°C</em>

<em>ΔT is change in temperature = 75°C-0°C = 75°C</em>

q = 25g*4.184J/g°C*75°C

q = 7845J

The energy is: 7845J + 8368J + 761J =

16974J of energy are required
