To make a smore, 2 graham crackers, a piece of chocolate, and a marshmallow are needed. You have 5 graham crackers, 7 pieces of

chocolate, and 5 marshmallows. Using smores as your example, explain the concepts of limiting reactant, excess reactant, and theoretical yield.

Limiting Reactant - The reactant in a Chemical Reaction that limits the amount of product that can be formed. 

Excess Reactant - The reactant in a chemical reaction that remains when a reaction stops when the limiting reactant is completely consumed. 

Theoretical Yield - The quantity of a product obtained from the complete conversion of the limiting reactant in a Chemical reaction.  

I hope this helped make your question easier ^_^

Answer:

Limiting reactant: graham crackers

Excess reactants: chocolate and marshmallows

Theoretical yield: 5/2 smores

Explanation:

When 2 graham crackers, a piece of chocolate, and a marshmallow are combined a smore is made.

You have 5 graham crackers, the following proportions must be satisfied:

2 graham crackers/5 graham crackers = 1 piece of chocolate/x piece of chocolate

x = 1*5/2 = 5/2 pieces of chocolate reacts

2 graham crackers/5 graham crackers = 1 marshmallow/y marshmallow

x = 1*5/2 = 5/2 marshmallows reacts

But you have 7 pieces of chocolate and 5 marshmallows, then the graham crackers are the limiting reactant, that is, when all crackers react, the reaction is finished. As a consequence the excess reactants are the pieces of chocolate and the marshmallows,  because at the time the reactant is completely consumed, there are still chocolate and marshmallow.

To compute the theoretical yield,  the following proportion must be satisfied (the limiting reactant is used):

2 graham crackers/5 graham crackers = 1 smore/z smore

z = 1*5/2 = 5/2 smores are made

When 20 milliliters of 1.0m hcl is diluted to a total volume of 60 milliliters, the concentration of the resulting solution is?
Ksenya-84 [330]
In preparing diluted solutions from concentrated solutions we can use the following formula
c1v1 = c2v2
c1 and v1 are the concentration and volume of the concentrated solution respectively
c2 and v2 are the concentrations and volume of the diluted solution respectively
Substituting these values ,
20 mL x 1.0 M = C x 60 mL
C = 0.33 M
The concentration of the resulting diluted solutions is 0.33 M

Calculate the final Celsius temperature when 634 L at 21 °C is compressed to 307 L.
Illusion [34]

Answer:

- 130.64°C.

Explanation:

  • We can use the general law of ideal gas:<em> PV = nRT.</em>

where, P is the pressure of the gas in atm.

V is the volume of the gas in L.

n is the no. of moles of the gas in mol.

R is the general gas constant,

T is the temperature of the gas in K.

  • If n and P are constant, and have two different values of V and T:

<em>V₁T₂ = V₂T₁</em>

<em></em>

V₁ = 634.0 L, T₁ = 21.0°C + 273 = 294.0 K.

V₂ = 307.0 L, T₂ = ??? K.

<em>∴ T₂ = V₂T₁/V₁ </em>= (307.0 L)(294.0 K)/(634.0 L) = <em>142.36 K.</em>

<em>∴ T₂(°C) = 142.36 K - 273 = - 130.64°C.</em>

Does anyone know how to do this? the solubility of barium carbonate, BaCO3, is 0.0100 g/L. Its molar mass is 197.3 g/mol. What i
g100num [7]
It's simple, just follow my steps.

1º - in 1 L we have 0.0100~g of BaCO_3

2º - let's find the number of moles.

\eta=\frac{m}{MM}

\eta=\frac{0.0100}{197.3}

\boxed{\boxed{\eta=5.07\times10^{-5}~mol}}

3º - The concentration will be

C=5.07\times10^{-5}~mol/L

But we have this reaction

BaCO_3\rightleftharpoons Ba^{2+}+CO_3^{2-}

This concentration will be the concentration of Ba^{2+}~~and~~CO_3^{2-}

K_{sp}=\frac{[Ba^{2+}][CO_3^{2-}]}{[BaCO_3]}

considering [BaCO_3]=1~mol/L

K_{sp}=[Ba^{2+}][CO_3^{2-}]

and

[Ba^{2+}]=[CO_3^{2-}]=5.07\times10^{-5}~mol/L

We can replace it

K_{sp}=(5.07\times10^{-5})*(5.07\times10^{-5})

K_{sp}\approx25.70\times10^{-10}

Therefore the K_{sp} is:

\boxed{\boxed{\boxed{K_{sp}\approx2.57\times10^{-11}}}}
