When atoms of an element combine they form a A-Compound
-Seth
Answer:
+2
Explanation:
If a compound
existed, we would identify the oxidation state of sulfur using the following logic:
- oxygen is more electronegative than sulfur, so it's more electron-withdrawing and it should have a negative oxidation state producing a positive oxidation state for sulfur;
- oxygen typically has an oxidation state of -2;
- we may then apply the fact that SO is expected to be a molecule with a net charge of 0;
- if the net charge is 0 and the oxidation state of oxygen is -2, we may set the oxidation state of S to x;
- write the equation for the net charge of 0 by adding all individual charges of the two atoms:
; - hence, x = 2.
That said, in this hypothetical compound S would have an oxidation state of +2.
Explanation:
Moles of N2 = 35.0g / (28g/mol) = 1.25mol
Moles of H2 = 60.0g / (2g/mol) = 30.0mol
Since 1.25mol * 3 < 30.0mol, nitrogen is limiting.
Moles of NH3 = 1.25mol * 2 = 2.50mol.
Mass of NH3 = 2.50mol * (17g/mol) = 42.5g.
30.0mol - 1.25mol * 3 = 26.25mol.
Excess mass of H2
= 26.25mol * (2g/mol) = 52.5g.
