Answer:

The number of moles of SO₃ produced by SO₂ are less so it is limiting reactant.

Explanation:

Given data:

Number of moles of SO₂ = 3.1 mol

Number of moles of O₂ = 2.7 mol

Limiting reactant = ?

Solution:

Chemical equation;

2SO₂ + O₂ → 2SO₃

Now we will compare the moles of SO₃ with O₂ and SO₂.

SO₂ : SO₃

2 : 2

3.1 : 3.1

O₂ : SO₃

1 : 2

2.7 : 2×2.7 = 5.4 mol

The number of moles of SO₃ produced by SO₂ are less so it is limiting reactant.

Under certain conditions Argon gas diffuses at a rate of 3.2 cm per second under the same conditions an unknown gas diffuses at

kozerog [31]

Answer:

20 g/mol

Explanation:

We can use Graham’s Law of diffusion:

The rate of diffusion (r) of a gas is inversely proportional to the square root of its molar mass (M).

$r = \frac{1 }{\sqrt{M}}$

If you have two gases, the ratio of their rates of diffusion is

$\frac{r_{2}}{r_{1}} = \sqrt{\frac{M_{1}}{M_{2}}}$

Squaring both sides, we get

$(\frac{r_{2}}{r_{1}})^{2} = \frac{M_{1}}{M_{2}}$

Solve for M₂:

$M_{2} = M_{1} \times (\frac{r_{1}}{r_{2}})^{2}$

$M_{2} = \text{39.95 g/mol} \times (\frac{\text{3.2 cm/s}}{\text{4.5 cm/s}})^{2}= \text{39.95 g/mol} \times (0.711 )^{2}$

$= \text{39.95 g/mol} \times 0.506 = \textbf{20 g/mol}$

What is the value of quantum numbers (n, l, ml, ms) of 2p^3?

eduard

Answer:

Explanation:

First digit of the 2p^3 gives you value of n, in this case its = 2, So, n= 2

Second alphabet gives you the value of l,

l=0 =s

l=1 =p

l=3=d

l=4=f

since "p" is the alphabet in 2p^3, so in your case lt shoudlbe = 1 right?

ml= -l to +l , that is -1, 0, +1

Ms= +1/2 or -1/2 alaways remains same foe evrything.
