The definition of a limiting reactant can be summarized as:

Chemistry
1 answer:
Svetlanka [38]3 years ago
4 0

Answer:

Explanation:

A limiting reactant in a chemical reaction is one which puts limits on amount of product  produced out of the reaction. The process of chemical reaction is stopped when the limiting reactant is fully used up.

Example:

Suppose you have

5 gram of oxygen and 10 gram of hydrogen to make any chemical product say y

since

amount of oxygen is only 5 gram thus, when all of 5 gram of oxygen will be used up then no further reaction will take place even though amount of hydrogen is present to react.

Thus, we can say that

oxygen is limiting the production of product y.

oxygen is fully used until the reaction stops.

Thus, in this case oxygen is limiting reactant.

Based on above discussion

the correct option for this problem is

a the reactant that is used up

A) Find the gas speed of ammonia at 25.0 degrees Celsius. ______________
Cloud [144]

a. 661.23 m/s

b.  the rate of effusion of Ammonia = 4.5 faster than Silicon tetra bromide

<h3> Further explanation </h3>

Given

T = 25 + 273 = 298 K

Required

a. the gas speed

b. The rate of effusion comparison

Solution

a.

Average velocities of gases can be expressed as root-mean-square averages. (V rms)  

\large {\boxed {\bold {v_ {rms} = \sqrt {\dfrac {3RT} {Mm}}}}

R = gas constant, T = temperature, Mm = molar mass of the gas particles  

From the question  

R = 8,314 J / mol K  

T = temperature  

Mm = molar mass, kg / mol  

Molar mass of Ammonia = 17 g/mol = 0.017 kg/mol

\tt v=\sqrt{\dfrac{3\times 8.314\times 298}{0.017} }=661.23~m/s

b. the effusion rates of two gases = the square root of the inverse of their molar masses:  

\rm \dfrac{r_1}{r_2}=\sqrt{\dfrac{M_2}{M_1} }

M₁ = molar mass Ammonia NH₃= 17

M₂ =  molar mass Silicon tetra bromide SiBr₄= 348

\rm \dfrac{r_1}{r_2}=\sqrt{\dfrac{348}{17} }=4.5

the rate of effusion of Ammonia = 4.5 faster than Silicon tetra bromide

Describe the three ways heat can be transferred-radiation, conduction, and convection
hjlf
An example of radiation can be from a fire since the firs is letting off heat without contact. An example of convection can be boiling water since there are molecules moving in the water (a fluid). An example of conduction can be a tea spoon in a cup of hot tea, the heat is getting transferred froma hot object to a cool object.

How does a thermometer work
andrew11 [14]
This liquid is sometimes colored alcohol but can also be a metallic liquid called mercury. Both mercury and alcohol grow bigger when heated and smaller when cooled. Inside the glass tube of a thermometer, the liquid has no place to go but up when the temperature is hot and down when the temperature is cold. Mercury is very reactive and works best. But mercury is also very a radioactive element. So, if you break the thermometer, you could get in trouble (radio active posoning) Alcohol work well, it is not radioactive and can't kill you.
Okay, hope I helped

Describe the steps to balancing a chemical equation.
scZoUnD [109]
Identify each element found in the equation. The number of atoms of each type of atom must be the same on each side of the equation once it has been balanced.

What is the net charge on each side of the equation? The net charge must be the same on each side of the equation once it has been balanced.

If possible, start with an element found in one compound on each side of the equation. Change the coefficients (the numbers in front of the compound or molecule) so that the number of atoms of the element is the same on each side of the equation. Remember, to balance an equation, you change the coefficients, not the subscripts in the formulas.

Once you have balanced one element, do the same thing with another element. Proceed until all elements have been balanced. It's easiest to leave elements found in pure form for last.

Check your work to make certain the charge on both sides of the equation is also balanced.
