Oxygen is the element with electronic configuration of 16
Using natural gas is cheaper from other fossil fuels when used for personal needs. It also doesn't pollute the ground or the underground water.
I need more information, there are meant to be coefficients in front of one of those ..
but you’d put .2 over the coefficients, and if there is not one, you put an X. then you will cross multiply, and divide if you have 2x or something greater than X.
Answer:
Oxygen is the limiting reactant
Explanation:
2H2 + O2 ⇒ 2H2O
2mol 1mol 2mol
2moles of hydrogen will require 1mol of oxygen to produce 2mol of water
in the question, 6.45g of O2 reacts with 1.13g of H2.
molar mass of O2 = 16*2 =32g/mol
molar mass of H2 = 1*2=2g/mol
number of moles of O2 = mass/molar mass
= 6.45/32
=0.20156moles
number of moles of H2 = 1.13/2
=0.565moles
but 0.20156moles of O2 will require 0.40312moles of hydrogen
2H2 + O2 ⇒ 2H2O
2mol 1mol 2mol
0.40312mole 0.20156mol
0.40312moles is less than 0.565moles of H2 present, which means hydrogen is in excess hence implying that oxygen is the limiting reactant
