Sometimes you are given a measured amount of two or more reactants and asked how much product can be formed. Explain what steps
Westkost [7]

Explanation:

To solve this problem, follow these steps;

  • Obtain a balanced equation of the reaction and familiarize with the reactants and products.
  • Find the number of moles of the reacting species since they are the known matter in terms of quantity.
  • From the number of moles, determine the limiting reactant.
  • The limiting reactant is the one given in short supply.
  • Such reactant determines the extent of the reaction.
  • Compare the moles of this specie to that of the products using the balanced equation.
  • Obtain the mole of the desired product and find the mass or desired quantity.
  • simply work from the known specie to the unknown

Olenka [21]
The cloudiness of the eyes increases to a maximum and then decreases. This is because initially, after death, all the muscles relax, dilating the pupil. Some time later, rigor mortis sets in, contracting the pupil. Thus, the cloudiness fades.

Which property of water makes it helpful to use in car radiators?
Nezavi [6.7K]
The correct answer is<span> C) Water takes long to heat and cool down than other liquids.

It doesn't climb up the sides of a tube any more than other solutions do, and being a universal solvent has nothing to do with radiators. It does however take a long time to heat and cool down since you don't have a 100+ celsius burner to heat it up in an instant.</span>
