Answer:

NH3 is the limiting reactant

The % yield is 36.1 %

Explanation:

<u>Step 1: </u>Data given

Mass of NH3 = 2.15 grams

Mass of O2 = 3.23 grams

Molar mass of NH3 = 17.03 g/mol

Molar mass of O2 = 32 g/mol

volume of N2 produced = 0.550 L

Temperature = 295 K

Pressure = 1.00 atm

<u>Step 2:</u> The balanced equation:

4NH3 (aq) + 3O2 (g) → 2 N2 (g) + 6H2O (l)

<u>Step 3:</u> Calculate moles of NH3

Moles NH3 = Mass NH3 / Molar Mass NH3

Moles NH3 = 2.15 grams / 17.03 g/mol

Moles NH3 = 0.126 moles

<u>Step 4:</u> Calculate moles of O2

Moles O2 = 3.23 grams / 32 g/mol

Moles O2 = 0.101 moles

<u>Step 5: </u>Calculate the limiting reactant

For 4 moles NH3 consumed, we need 3 moles of O2 to produce, 2 moles of N2 and 6 moles of H2O

NH3 is the limiting reactant. It will completely be consumed ( 0.126 moles).

O2 is in excess, there will be 3/4 * 0.126 = 0.0945 moles consumed

There will remain 0.101 - 0.945 = 0.0065 moles of O2

<u>Step 6:</u> Calculate moles of N2

For 4 moles NH3 consumed, we need 3 moles of O2 to produce, 2 moles of N2 and 6 moles of H2O

For 4 moles NH3 , we'll have 2 moles of N2 produced

For 0.126 moles NH3 consumed, we'll have 0.063 moles of N2 produced.

<u>Step 7</u>: Calculate volume of N2 produced

p*V = n*R*T

⇒ with p = the pressure of the gas = 1.00 atm

⇒ with V = the volume = TO BE DETERMINED

⇒ with n = the number of moles N2 = 0.063 moles

⇒ with R = the gasconstant = 0.08206 L*atm/K*mol

⇒ with T = the temperature = 295

V = (nRT)/p

V = (0.063*0.08206*295)/1

V = 1.525 L = theoretical yield

<u>Step 8:</u> Calculate the % yield

% yield = actual yield / theoretical yield

% yield = (0.550 L / 1.525 L)*100%

% yield = 36.1 %

suppose you are testing the buoyancy of different objects . study the table and choose object with the greatest buoyant force
Alika [10]
The formula to calculate buoyant force (FB) states that the upward force exerted on an immersed object is equal to the density (ρ ) of the fluid multiplied by both the fluid’s displaced volume (V) and the gravitational acceleration (g), or
FB = ρ x V x g.<span> 
I hope that helped with what you're doing.

A solution is made by dissolving 10.7 g of magnesium sulfate, MgSO4, in enough water to make exactly 100 mL of solution. Calcula
adell [148]

Answer:

[MgSO₄] = 890 mM/L

Explanation:

In order to determine molarity we need to determine the moles of solute that are in 1L of solution.

Solute: MgSO₄ (10.7 g)

Solvent: water

Solution: 100 mL as volume. (100 mL . 1L / 1000mL) = 0.1L

We convert the solute's mass  to moles → 10.7 g / 120.36 g/mol = 0.089 moles

Molarity (mol/L) → 0.089 mol/0.1L = 0.89 M

In order to calculate M to mM/L, we make this conversion:

0.89 mol . 1000 mmoles/ 1 mol = 890 mmoles

As a water molecule how would I go threw the whole water cycle???
Alik [6]
<span>The water cycle is like a big circle and doesn’t really have a starting point. There are 4 main stages involved in water cycle i.e. evaporation, condensation, precipitation and runoff, so, I'd say you become water, you evaporate, then you turn into a cloud and rain, then runoff.</span>
