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

What is the thermal energy needed to completely melt 9.60 mol of ice at 0.0 C
inysia [295]
The  thermal energy  needed to  completely  melt  9.60  mole  of ice  at  0.0 C  is    57.8   Kj

        Explanation
ice  melt  to  form   water

The molar  heat of fusion  for   water  is  6.02  Kj/mol
Thermal energy =  moles  x  molar  heat  of  fussion  for water

=9.6  mol  x6.02 kj/mol =57.8  Kj

If 5 moles of P4 reacted with 22 moles Cl2 according to the above reaction, determine:
GaryK [48]

Solution:

P_4+6Cl_2\rightarrow 4PCl_3

a) By stoichoimetry If 6 moles of Cl_2 gives 4 mole of PCl_3 , then 22 moles of Cl_2 will give: \frac{4}{6}\times 22=\frac{44}{3}=14.66 moles of PCl_3

b) If 6 moles of Cl_2 reacts with one mole of P_4 , then 22 moles of Cl_2 will react : \frac{1}{6}\times 22=\frac{11}{3}=3.66 moles of P_4

Moles of P_4  left after the reaction = 5-3.66=\frac{4}{3}=1.34 moles.

c) 0 Moles of Cl_2 , since it is present in less amount it will get completely consumed in the reaction. Hence, it is limiting reagent.

.) Neon and HF have approximately the same molecular masses. a.)Explain why the boiling points of Neon and HF differ b.)Compare
lisov135 [29]

Answer:

See explanation

Explanation:

a) The magnitude of intermolecular forces in compounds affects the boiling points of the compound. Neon has London dispersion forces as the only intermolecular forces operating in the substance while HF has dipole dipole interaction and strong hydrogen bonds operating in the molecule hence HF exhibits a much higher boiling point than Ne though they have similar molecular masses.

b) The boiling points of the halogen halides are much higher than that of the noble gases because the halogen halides have much higher molecular masses and stronger intermolecular forces between molecules compared to the noble gases.

Also, the change in boiling point of the hydrogen halides is much more marked(decreases rapidly)  due to decrease in the magnitude of hydrogen bonding from HF to HI. The boiling point of the noble gases increases rapidly down the group as the molecular mass of the gases increases.
