In the first step of the reaction, which compound is the limiting reagent: sodium hydroxide or the nucleophile
anastassius [24]
Since the nucleophile is the actual attacking molecule or molecule that starts the reaction and allows for further steps in the mechanism to occur, it is the limiting reagent, as based on the amount of the nucleophile you have, the reaction will tend to proceed until you run out. The excess would be the sodium hydroxide, it is union part of the solution.

How many moles of sodium bicarbonate are in 1.50 kg of the compound?
salantis [7]

Answer:

n=17.85 moles

Explanation:

Given mass is, m = 1.5 kg = 1500 g

The molar mass of sodium bicarbonate is, M = 84.007 g/mol

We need to find the no of moles in 1.5 kg of Sodium bicarbonate . We know that, no of moles is equal to given mass divided by molar mass.

n=\dfrac{m}{M}\\\\n=\dfrac{1500}{84.007 }\\\\n=17.85

<h2>So, there are 17.85 moles in 1.5 kg of Sodium bicarbonate.</h2>
