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.

If I added 50 mL of a 1.0 M HCIO2 solution to 50 mL of a 1.0 M NaOH
kozerog [31]

Answer:

pH=7

Explanation:

0.05 L*1.0M= 0.05 mol HClO2  and 0.05 mol NaOH      

HClO2 +     NaOH ---> NaClO2 + H2O

0.05 mol     0.05 mol

As we can see acid and base  react completely,  solution will be neutral, so pH =7

These statements describe three different reactions.
Naily [24]

An atom gains an electron from another atom. Hence, option B is the correct answer.

<h3>What is an atom?</h3>

An atom is a particle of matter that uniquely defines a chemical element. An atom consists of a central nucleus that is usually surrounded by one or more electrons.

When an atom shares electrons with another atom then it results in the formation of a covalent bond.

Whereas when an atom transfer electrons from one atom to another then it results in the formation of an ionic bond.

When the nucleus of an atom splits then it represents a nuclear fission reaction and energy is released during this process.

Hence, option B is the correct answer.
