Answer:

See explanation

Explanation:

A limiting reactant is the reactant in a reaction that is done reacting first, because there are less moles of it than are needed for a full reaction with the other compound or compounds.

Hope this helps!

How many grams of lithium chloride can be produced from 14.3 g of lithium chlorate when it decomposes into lithium chloride and

vampirchik [111]

6.7 grams of lithium chloride will be produced.

<h3><u>Explanation:</u></h3>

Lithium chlorate is LiClO₃ and lithium chloride is LiCl. The reaction is,

2LiClO₃ = 2LiCl +3O₂.

So here, 2 moles of lithium chlorate produces 2 moles of lithium chloride.

Or, one molecule of lithium chlorate will produce one mole of lithium chloride.

Molecular weight of lithium chlorate = $6.9 + 35.5 + 16\times3$ = 90.4.

So, 14.3 grams of lithium chlorate has 0.16 moles of lithium chlorate.

Thereby, moles of lithium chloride produced is 0.16 moles.

Molecular weight of lithium chloride = $6.9+35.5$ = 42.4 grams.

So weight of lithium chloride produced = $42.4 \times 0.16$ = 6.7 grams.

Thus, weight of lithium chloride produced will be 6.7 grams.

An unknown solution has a pH of 7.2. Which of these chemicals is likely to cause the greatest decrease in the pH of the solution

prohojiy [21]

Answer:

HNO₃.

Explanation:

It is known that acids decrease the pH of the solution, while bases increase the pH of the solution.

So, HF and HNO₃ decrease the pH of the solution as they produce H⁺ in the solution.

While, KOH and NH₃ increase the pH of the solution as they produce OH⁻ in the solution.

HNO₃ will decrease the pH of the solution greater than HF.

Because HNO₃ is strong acid that decomposes completely to produce H⁺ more than the same concentration of HF that is a weak acid which does not decomposed completely to produce H⁺.

The pKb of the base cyclohexamine, C6H11NH2, is 3.36. What is the pKa of the conjugate acid, C6H11NH3

bonufazy [111]

Answer:

10.64

Explanation:

Let's consider the basic reaction of cyclohexamine, C₆H₁₁NH₂.

C₆H₁₁NH₂(aq) + H₂O(l) ⇄ C₆H₁₁NH₃⁺(aq) + OH⁻ pKb = 3.36

C₆H₁₁NH₃⁺ is its conjugate acid, since it donates H⁺ to form C₆H₁₁NH₂. C₆H₁₁NH₃⁺ acid reaction is as follows:

C₆H₁₁NH₃⁺(aq) + H₂O(l) ⇄ C₆H₁₁NH₂(aq) + H₃O⁺(aq) pKa

We can find the pKa of C₆H₁₁NH₃⁺ using the following expression.

pKa + pKb = 14.00

pKa = 14.00 - pKb = 14.00 - 3.36 = 10.64
