Answer: O_2 is the limiting reagent

Explanation:

To calculate the moles :

\text{Moles of solute}=\frac{\text{given mass}}{\text{Molar Mass}}    

\text{Moles of} H_2=\frac{10.0g}{2g/mol}=5.00moles

\text{Moles of} O_2=\frac{20.0g}{32g/mol}=0.625moles

The balanced chemical reaction is :

2H_2+O_2\rightarrow 2H_2O

According to stoichiometry :

1 moles of O_2 require = 2 moles of H_2

Thus 0.625 moles of O_2 will require=\frac{2}{1}\times 0.625=1.25moles of H_2

Thus O_2 is the limiting reagent as it limits the formation of product and H_2 is the excess reagent as it is present more than the required amount.

The evaporation of liquid water from the surface of Earth is an important step in the water cycle. How do water molecules obtain
Alex777 [14]
<span>Well, during the day, the water, as well as the surfaces surrounding the water, are heated by various thermodynamic processes: conduction, convection, radiation, etc. This in turn warms the water molecules in the lakes, streams, rivers, and oceans, thereby transferring heat (their kinetic energy) to the water molecules, which in turn receive that energy from the surrounding surfaces, or directly via radiation/insolation from the sun. When the water molecules attain enough energy, some of them attain enough energy to escape the surface of the liquid and enter the gas phase. Hence, as water is heated, more and more water molecules attain enough kinetic energy to enter the gas phase.</span>

What is the molarity of a solution containing 12.0 g of NaOH in 250.0 mL of solution?
riadik2000 [5.3K]

Answer:

1.196 M NaOH

Explanation:

Molarity = moles/Volume (L)

moles NaOH = mass NaOH/MM NaOH = 12/40.01 = 0.299 moles NaOH

Volume solution = 250 mL = 0.250L

M = 0.299/0.250=1.196 M NaOH

What is the ionic compound of Na^+ and CO3^2-
maksim [4K]

To find the chemical formula of an ionic compound, the first step is to find the charge of the 2 ions. As given already, the charge of sodium ion is 1+, and carbonate ion has a charge of 2-. We can picture it like that: Sodium ion loses 1 electron and carbonate ion gains 2.

The next step is to find how the 2 ions can lose and gain electrons equally. In this case, since each Na ion only loses 1 electron, it cannot satisfy the need of one carbonate ion, since they need 2, not 1. Therefore, 2 Na ions can cover the need of one carbonate ion. So, the ratio of Na to CO3 ion should be 2:1.

Now just combine the 2 ions, positive one at the front, which makes it NaCO3, make sure you do not add the charge and notice that CO3 is a molecule itself so do not remove the 3. Now because the ratio is 2:1, so the final formula is Na2CO3, no need to add 1 if the ratio is 1.

Your answer should be Na2CO3.

A student observes that a popcorn kernel has a hard coat. He places the kernel in a moist paper towel and observes it for severa
Ierofanga [76]

Answer: Water inside the seed coat creating a pushing force, breaking the seed coat.

Explanation:

Seed germination can be defined as the process by which a new plant emerge out from a seed. The radicle is the first emerging part from a seed and it develops into a root and the plumule is the second emerging part and it develops into a shoot. The light, water, adequate temperature, and soil are the factors that are necessary for seed germination.

According to a given situation, the popcorn kernel will receive the moisture necessary for the germination process, the water will imbibe into the seed coat creating pressure inside the seed and which will cause the seed coat to break and the new plant parts or seedling will emerge out of the seed coat.
