The limiting reactant is chlorine (Cl2).

<u>Explanation</u>:

Limiting reactant is the amount of product formed which gets limited by the reagent without continuing it.

2 Al + 3 Cl2 ==> 2 AlCl3 represents the balanced equation.

Number of moles Al present = 34 g Al x 1 mole Al / 26.98 g

= 1.260 g moles of Al

Number of moles Cl2 present = 39 g Cl2 x 1 mole Cl2 / 35.45 g

= 1.10 g moles of Cl2

Dividing each reactant by it's coefficient in the balanced equation obtains:

1.260 moles Al / 2 = 0.63 g moles of Al

1.11 moles Cl2 / 3 = 0.36 g moles of Cl2

The reactant which produces a lesser amount of product is called as limiting reactant.

Here the Limiting reactant is Cl2.

Fittoniya [83]

Answer : The value of $E^o_{(Cu^{2+}/Cu)}$ is, 0.34 V

Explanation :

Here, copper will undergo reduction reaction will get reduced. Zinc will undergo oxidation reaction and will get oxidized.

The oxidation-reduction half cell reaction will be,

Oxidation half reaction: $Zn\rightarrow Zn^{2+}+2e^-$

Reduction half reaction: $Cu^{2+}+2e^-\rightarrow Cu$

Oxidation reaction occurs at anode and reduction reaction occurs at cathode. That means, gold shows reduction and occurs at cathode and chromium shows oxidation and occurs at anode.

The overall balanced equation of the cell is,

$Zn+Cu^{2+}\rightarrow Zn^{2+}+Cu$

To calculate the $E^o_{(Cu^{2+}/Cu)}$ of the reaction, we use the equation:

$E^o_{cell}=E^o_{cathode}-E^o_{anode}$

$E^o_{cell}=E^o_{(Cu^{2+}/Cu)}-E^o_{(Zn^{2+}/Zn)}$

Putting values in above equation, we get:

$1.10V=E^o_{(Cu^{2+}/Cu)}-(-0.76V)$

$E^o_{(Cu^{2+}/Cu)}=0.34V$

Hence, the value of $E^o_{(Cu^{2+}/Cu)}$ is, 0.34 V

Answer:

3,29L

Explanation:

3.29L = V2

Formula: V1/T1 = V2/T2

--------------------

Given:

V1 = 3.0 L V2 = ?

T1 = 310 K T2 = 340 K

--------------------

Plugin:

(X stands in place of V2 just to make it easier to look at)

[3.0L / 310K = X / 340K]

(3.0L / 310K = 0.01L/K)

0.01L/K = X / 340K

(multiply 340K on both sides, it cancels out on the right)

0.01L/K * 340K = X

(0.01L/K * 340K = 3.29L)

**3.29L = X**

[or]

**3.29L = V2**

Which reaction is a decomposition reaction?

Artist 52 [7]

Answer:

See the answer below , please.

Explanation:

In a decomposition reaction, a certain compound is "broken" to give two or more different products.

An example for compound AB, giving as products A and B:

AB -> A + B

In the case of water:

2H20 -> 2H2 + 02, water decomposes giving Hydrogen and Oxygen
