I WIll upvote for answer Balance the following reaction Fe^2 O ^3 +HCI->FeCI^3+H^2O

How likely is it that a scientific theory is correct?

yan [13]

It all depends what theory it is most are supported by really good evidence but they just don't have all the evidence so it can't be proven a fact at that time

What should the positive charge be on the Fe ion to balance out the -3 charge from the CI?

Dmitry [639]

Fe needs to have a positive charge of +3 to balance out -3 Cl

Urea (CH4N2O) is a common fertilizer that can be synthesized by the reaction of ammonia (NH3) with carbon dioxide as follows: 2N

Montano1993 [528]

The question is incomplete, here is the complete question:

Urea (CH₄N₂O) is a common fertilizer that can be synthesized by the reaction of ammonia (NH₃) with carbon dioxide as follows: 2NH₃(aq) + CO₂(aq) → CH₄N₂O(aq) + H₂O(l) In an industrial synthesis of urea, a chemist combines 135.9 kg of ammonia with 211.4 kg of carbon dioxide and obtains 178.0 kg of urea.

Determine the limiting reactant. (express your answer as a chemical formula)

Answer: The limiting reactant is ammonia $(NH_3)$

Explanation:

To calculate the number of moles, we use the equation:

$\text{Number of moles}=\frac{\text{Given mass}}{\text{Molar mass}}$ .....(1)

For ammonia:

Given mass of ammonia = 135.9 kg = 135900 g (Conversion factor: 1 kg = 1000 g)

Molar mass of ammonia = 17 g/mol

Putting values in equation 1, we get:

$\text{Moles of ammonia}=\frac{135900g}{17g/mol}=7994.12mol$

For carbon dioxide gas:

Given mass of carbon dioxide gas = 211.4 kg = 211400 g

Molar mass of carbon dioxide gas = 44 g/mol

Putting values in equation 1, we get:

$\text{Moles of carbon dioxide gas}=\frac{211400g}{44g/mol}=4804.54mol$

The given chemical reaction follows:

$2NH_3(aq.)+CO_2(aq,)\rightarrow CH_4N_2O(aq.)+H_2O(l)$

By Stoichiometry of the reaction:

2 moles of ammonia reacts with 1 mole of carbon dioxide

So, 7994.12 moles of ammonia will react with = $\frac{1}{2}\times 7994.12=3997.06mol$ of carbon dioxide

As, given amount of carbon dioxide is more than the required amount. So, it is considered as an excess reagent.

Thus, ammonia is considered as a limiting reagent because it limits the formation of product.

Hence, the limiting reactant is ammonia $(NH_3)$

Which atom would tend to gain 1 valence electrons from another atom in order to become stable

Mrrafil [7]

Answer: Option (D) is the correct answer.

Explanation:

Atomic number of chlorine is 17 and its electronic distribution is 2, 8, 7.

So, in order to attain stability it tends to gain one electron from a donor atom. Therefore, a chlorine ion is formed as $Cl^{-1}$ .

As it gains only one electron that is why, -1 charge occurs.

Whereas Ar is a noble gas with atomic number 18. As it has completely filled octet so it will be unreactive in nature as it is already stable.

Similarly, He is also a noble gas so it is unreactive in nature.

Atomic number of boron (B) is 5 with electronic distribution 2, 3. So, in order to attain stability it needs to lose 3 electrons.

Thus, we can conclude that Cl is the atom which tends to gain 1 valence electron from another atom in order to become stable.

You have 1.6 x10 21 atoms of oxygen, what is the mass of that number of atoms

iren [92.7K]

Answer: 166.023×1023

Explanation:

Mass of 6.023×1023 atoms of oxygen = gram atomic mass of oxygen.

Mass of 6.023×1023 atoms of oxygen = 16g

∴ Mass of 1 atom of oxygen =166.023×1023
