Answer:

Homeostasis is defined as the process by which the internal body system maintains a suitable environment for its proper functions and survival.

When a person temperature drops a signal is sent to the brain which results in a reflex action being observed. The shiver makes the individual warmer and helps in the regulation of the body heat.

You have 16.7 grams of hydrogen and 15.4 grams of oxygen in a synthesis rxn. Which is the limiting reagent?
sleet_krkn [62]

Answer:

oxygen is limiting reactant

Explanation:

Given data:

Mass of hydrogen = 16.7 g

Mass of oxygen = 15.4 g

Limiting reactant = ?

Solution:

Chemical equation:

2H₂ + O₂   →   2H₂O

Number of moles of hydrogen:

Number of moles = mass/ molar mass

Number of moles = 16.7 g/ 2 g/mol

Number of moles = 8.35 mol

Number of moles of oxygen:

Number of moles = mass/ molar mass

Number of moles = 15.4 g/ 32 g/mol

Number of moles = 0.48 mol

Now we will compare the moles of both reactant with product,

                 

                             H₂           :          H₂O

                              2            :            2

                             8.35        :            8.35

                             O₂           :          H₂O

                               1            :            2

                             0.48        :        2×0.48 = 0.96 mol

The number of moles of water produced by oxygen are less so it will limiting reactant.
