Aqueous hydrochloric acid HCl will react with solid sodium hydroxide NaOH to produce aqueous sodium chloride NaCl and liquid wat
er H2O. Suppose 9.84 g of hydrochloric acid is mixed with 3.1 g of sodium hydroxide. Calculate the maximum mass of water that could be produced by the chemical reaction. Round your answer to 2 significant digits.
1 answer:
Answer:
1.4 g H₂O
Explanation:
In a reaction, the reactants are usually not present in exact <em>stoichiometric amounts</em>, that is, <em>in the proportions indicated by the balanced equation</em>. Frequently a large excess of one reactant is supplied to ensure that the more expensive reactant is completely converted to the desired product. Consequently, some reactant will be left over at the end of the reaction. T<em>he reactant used up first in a reaction</em> is called the <em>limiting reagent</em>, because <u>the maximum amount of product formed depends on how much of this reactant was originally present</u>. When this reactant is used up, no more product can be formed.

Answer:
Ammonia is the richest source of nitrogen on a mass percentage basis because it has 82.35% of nitrogen by mass.
Explanation:
Percentage of element in compound :
(a) Urea,
Molar mass of urea = 60 g/mol
Atomic mass of nitrogen = 14 g/mol
Number of nitrogen atoms = 2
(b) Ammonium nitrate,
Molar mass of ammonium nitrate = 80 g/mol
Atomic mass of nitrogen = 14 g/mol
Number of nitrogen atoms = 2
(c) Nitric oxide, NO
Molar mass of nitric oxide = 30 g/mol
Atomic mass of nitrogen = 14 g/mol
Number of nitrogen atoms = 1
(d) Ammonia,
Molar mass of ammona = 17 g/mol
Atomic mass of nitrogen = 14 g/mol
Number of nitrogen atoms = 1
