Answer:
The vernal equinox occurs on March 20 or March 21 each year and signals the start of spring in the Northern Hemisphere (and fall in the Southern Hemisphere). The Earth tilts at an angle of 23.5 degrees on its axis relative to its plane of orbit around the sun. My source is history.com A, i think

Well, you can't use this word for word, but a good answer would be something like:
Pesticides release harmful chemicals into the air, not only making it toxic and unsafe for us, but it also has the potential to kill off insects. This affects the ecosystem as well, as it reduces the available food source for larger animals such as birds, which in turn, affect another species.
Answer:
Explanation:
<u>1. Chemical quation</u>
The reaction of aluminium, sodium hydroxide and water is represented by the balanced chemical equation:
- 2Al(s) + 2NaOH(s) + 6H₂O(l) → 2Na[Al(OH)₄] (aq) + 3H₂(g) ↑
The coefficients of each reactant and product give the theoretical mole ratios.
To find the limiting reactant you compare the theoretical ratios with the ratio of the available substaces.
<u>2. Theoretical mole ratio:</u>
- 2 mol Al : 2 mol NaOH : 6 mol H₂O
Equivalent to
- 1 mol Al : 1 mol NaOH : 3 mol H₂O
<u>3. Actual ratio</u>
a) Convert each mass to number of moles
Formula:
- number of moles = mass in grams / molar mass
Al:
- molar mass = atomic mass = 26.982g/mol
- number of moles = 51.0g / 26.982g/mol = 1.89 mol
NaOH:
- number of moles = 84.1g / 39.997g/mol = 2.10 mol
H₂O:
- number of moles = 25.0g / 18.015g/mol = 1.39 mol
Divide all the mole amounts by the least number:
- Al: 1.89/1.39 = 1.36
- NaOH: 2.10 = 1.52
- H₂O: 1.39 = 1.00
- 1.36 mol Al : 1.52 mol NaOH : 1.00 mol H₂O
<u>4. Comparison</u>
<u />
Theoretical ratio:
- 1 mol Al : 1 mol NaOH : 3 mol H₂O
Actual ratio:
- 1.36 mol Al : 1.52 mol NaOH : 1.00 mol H₂O
Multiply by 3:
- 4.08 mol Al : 4.56 mol NaOH : 3.00 mol H₂O
Now, yo can see that the first two are in excess with respect the third one, making that the water consumes first, before any of the other two consumes. Therefore, the limiting reactant is the water.
