If 16.29 grams of Na2SO4 is mixed with 3.697 grams of C and allowed to react according to the balanced equation: Na2SO4(aq) + 4

abruzzese [7]

<u>Answer:</u> The limiting reagent in the given chemical reaction is carbon metal.

<u>Explanation:</u>

Excess reagent is defined as the reagent which is present in large amount in a chemical reaction.

Limiting reagent is defined as the reagent which is present in small amount in a chemical reaction. Formation of product depends on the limiting reagent.

To calculate the number of moles, we use the equation:

$\text{Number of moles}=\frac{\text{Given mass}}{\text{Molar mass}}$ .....(1)

<u>For sodium sulfate:</u>

Given mass of sodium sulfate = 16.29 g

Molar mass of sodium sulfate = 142 g/mol

Putting values in equation 1, we get:

$\text{Moles of sodium sulfate}=\frac{16.29g}{142g/mol}=0.115mol$

<u>For carbon:</u>

Given mass of carbon = 3.697 g

Molar mass of carbon = 12 g/mol

Putting values in equation 1, we get:

$\text{Moles of carbon}=\frac{3.697g}{12g/mol}=0.31mol$

For the given chemical reaction:

$Na_2SO_4(aq.)+4C(s)\rightarrow Na_2S(s)+4CO(g)$

By Stoichiometry of the reaction:

4 moles of carbon reacts with 1 mole of sodium sulfate

So, 0.31 moles of carbon will react with = $\frac{1}{4}\times 0.31=0.0775mol$ of sodium sulfate

As, given amount of sodium sulfate is more than the required amount. So, it is considered as an excess reagent.

Thus, carbon metal is considered as a limiting reagent because it limits the formation of product.

Hence, the limiting reagent in the given chemical reaction is carbon metal.

Which of the following are functions of the ears?

Advocard [28]

The functions of the ears are:

I. Hearing by collecting and processing sound waves

II. Keeping our balance when we turn or bend over; option A

<h3>What is the function of the ear?</h3>

The ear is one of the five sense organs in the body.

The sense organs are the organs which receive external stimulus and send it to the brain for processing and response.

The other sense organs are:

the eye
the nose
the skin
the tongue

The functions of the ear are for hearing and for balance.

In conclusion, the sense organs function to receive stimulus and send them to the brain.

Write isotopic symbols in the form AZX for each isotope. a. the copper isotope with 34 neutrons b. the copper isotope with 36 ne

krek1111 [17]

Explanation:

The form AZX denoted that;

Z = The atomic number or proton number (symbol Z) of a chemical element is the number of protons found in the nucleus of every atom of that element.

A = Mass Number ( Sum of Neutrons and Protons)

X represents the element.

A. the copper isotope with 34 neutrons

X = Cu

Atomic Number of Copper, Z = 29

Mass Number, A = 29 + 34 = 63

63.29.Cu

B. the copper isotope with 36 neutrons

X = Cu

Atomic Number of Copper, Z = 29

Mass Number, A = 29 + 36 = 65

65.29.Cu

C. the potassium isotope with 21 neutrons

X = K

Atomic Number of Potassium, Z = 19

Mass Number, A = 19 + 21 = 40

40.19.K

D. the argon isotope with 22 neutrons

X = Ar

Atomic Number of Argon, Z = 18

Mass Number, A = 18 + 22 = 40

40.18.Ar
