Solid Silicon can be reacted with Nitrogen gas at a high temperature to form silicon nitride (Si3N4).
1.20 moles of Silicon are added to 1.00 moles of Nitrogen gas.
(5 Points) Balance the equation and indicate the phases.
Si (___) + N2 (___) → Si3N4 (___)
(5 Points) What is the limiting reactant? You must show your work.
Answer:
In every sequence even numbers are added in order.
3, 5, 9, 15, 23, 33
<u>Given:</u>
The initial energy of the electron Einitial = 16.32 * 10⁻¹⁹ J
The energy released i.e the change in energy ΔE = 5.4 * 10⁻¹⁹ J
<u>To determine:</u>
The final energy state Efinal of the electron
<u>Explanation:</u>
Since energy is being released, this suggests that Efinal < Einitial
i.e. ΔE = Einitial - Efinal
Efinal = Einitial - ΔE = (16.32 - 5.4)*10⁻¹⁹ = 10.92 * 10⁻¹⁹ J
Ans: A)
The electron moved down to an energy level and has an energy of 10.92 * 10⁻¹⁹ J
