Answer:

Oxygen is the limiting reactant.

Explanation:

Based on the reaction:

C₁₂H₂₂O₁₁ + 12O₂ → 12CO₂ + 11H₂O

1 mole of sucrose reacts with 12 moles of oxygen to produce 12 moles of CO₂ and 11 moles of H₂O.

10.0g of sucrose (Molar mass: 342.3g /mol) are:

10.0g C₁₂H₂₂O₁₁ × (1mole / 342.3g) = 0.0292 moles of C₁₂H₂₂O₁₁

And moles of 10.0g of oxygen (Molar mass: 32g/mol) are:

10.0g O₂ × (1mole / 32g) = 0.3125 moles of O₂

For a complete reaction of 0.0292 moles of C₁₂H₂₂O₁₁ you need (knowing 12 moles of oxygen react per mole of sucrose):

0.0292 moles of C₁₂H₂₂O₁₁ × (12 moles O₂ / 1 mole C₁₂H₂₂O₁₁) = 0.3504 moles of O₂

As you have just 0.3125 moles of O₂, oxygen is the limiting reactant.

What atomic or hybrid orbitals make up the sigma bond between c2 and h in ethylene, ch2ch2?

vovangra [49]

Explanation:

According to orbital hybridization theory, in ethene the C atoms are using sp2 hybrid orbitals. This leaves one unhybridized p orbital available to form the second bond (Pi bond) in the C-C double bonds.

One sp2 hybrid orbital from each C atom overlap to form one sigma bond between the two carbon atoms. One p orbital from each C atom then overlap to form a pi bond that completes the C-C double bond. The H atoms are bonded via sigma bonds to the C atoms when the H s orbitals overlap with the remaining sp2 hybrid orbitals from each C.

For this question we can used the combined gas law equation
for a fixed amount of gas PV/T = constant
$\frac{P1V1}{T1} = \frac{P2V2}{T2}$
where P - pressure, V-volume and T - temperature
parameters for the first instance are given on the left side and parameters for the second instance are given on the right side of the equation.
Temperature should be in Kelvin
temperature in K = temperature in celcius + 273
T1 = 25.9 °C + 273 = 298.9 K
T2 = -13.6 °C + 273 =259.4 K
substituting the values into the equation , V - volume at the altitude can be found out
$\frac{730mmHg*26.9L}{298.9K} = \frac{370mmHg*V}{259.4 K}$
V = 46.1 L

A column is packed with 0.5 g of a strongly acidic ion exchange resin in H+ form. A 1.0 M NaCl solution is passed through the co

Lena [83]

Answer:

The correct answer is 17 meq/g

Explanation:

Ion exchange capacity (IEC) express the total of active sites of a resin in which ions are attached because the greater molecular weight.

The exchange Reaction can be represented as

R-H $R-H^{+} + Na^{+} + Cl^{-} -> R-Na^{+} + HCl_{aq}$

The IEC value (in meq/g) is determinated by using the next equation:

IEC=[(mL of NaOH)*(M of NaOH)]/mass of resin

IEC [(17 mL)*(0.5 M)/0.5]= 17 meq/g
