Answer: hydrochloric acid

Explanation: 2HCl+Ca\rightarrow CaCl_2+H_2

As can be seen from the chemical equation, 2 moles of hydrochloric acid react with 1 mole of calcium.

According to mole concept, 1 mole of every substance weighs equal to its molar mass.

Thus 2\times 36.5=73 g of of hydrochloric acid reacts with 40 g of calcium.

100 g of hydrochloric acid react with=\frac{40}{73}\times 100=54.79 gof calcium

Thus HCl is the limiting reagent as it limits the formation of product and calcium is the excess reagent as (100-54.79)=45.21 g is left unreacted.

The balanced chemical reaction is:

2HCl + Ca = CaCl2 + H2

We are given the amount of the reactants to be used for the reaction. These values will be the starting point of our calculations.

100 g HCl ( 1 mol HCl / 36.46 g HCl ) = 2.74 mol HCl

100 g Ca ( 1 mol Ca / 40.08 g ) = 2.08 mol Ca

From the reaction, the mole ratio of the reactants is 2:1 where every 2 moles of hydrochloric acid, 1 mole of calcium is required. Therefore, the limiting reactant for this case is calcium.

Answer: An insulator would be made out of material unable to conduct electricity due to lack of fluid movement for electrons, such as rubber. Rubber properties not only prevents them from freely moving, but also helps electrons stay tightly bound to each other.

Hope this helps ^_^

Which type of equilibrium exists in a sealed flask containing Br2(ℓ) and Br2(g) at 298 K and 1.0 atm?(1) static phase equilibriu
marishachu [46]
The correct answer is 3.

A dynamic phase equilibrium is when a reversible reaction no longer changes its ratio of reactants to products. However, substances continue to move between the chemicals at an equal rate, which means the net change is 0. This is known as a steady state.
