Answer:

2.04 x 10²⁴ molecules

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Mass of Be(OH)₂ = 145.5g

To calculate the number of molecules in this mass of Be(OH)₂ we follow the following steps:

>> Calculate the number of moles first using the formula below:

Number of moles = mass/molarmass

Since we have been given the mass, let us derive the molar mass of Be(OH)₂

Atomic mass of Be = 9g

O = 16g

H = 1g

Molar Mass = 9 + 2(16 + 1)

= 9 + 34

= 43g/mol

Number of moles = 145.5/43 = 3.38mol

>>> We know that a mole is the amount of substance that contains Avogadro’s number of particles. The particles can be atoms, molecules, particles etc. Therefore we use the expression below to determine the number of molecules in 3.38mol of Be(OH)₂:

Number of

molecules= number of moles x 6.02 x 10²³

Number of molecules= 3.38 x 6.02 x 10²³

= 20.37 x 10²³ molecules

= 2.04 x 10²⁴ molecules

Which term is used to describe the reactant that is used up completely and controls the amount of product that can be produced d

givi [52]

Answer: Option (c) is the correct answer.

Explanation:

A limiting reagent is defined as a reagent that completely gets consumed in a chemical reaction. A limiting reagent limits the formation of products.

For example, we have given 5 mol of A and the reaction is $2A + 4B \rightarrow 2AB$

Whereas when 4 mol B will react with 2 mol of A. Hence, 8 mol of B will react with 4 mol A as follows.

$\frac{2}{4} \times 8$ = 4 mol

As, the given moles of A is more than the required moles. Thus, it is considered as an excess reagent.

Hence, B is a limiting reagent because it limits the formation of products.

Thus, we can conclude that limiting reactant is the term used to describe the reactant that is used up completely and controls the amount of product that can be produced during a chemical reaction.
