Answer:

H₂ gas

Explanation:

The reaction between nitrogen gas and hydrogen gas forms ammonia (the Haber-Bosch process):

N₂ + 3H₂ ⇒ 2NH₃

The excess reactant can be found by comparing the moles of nitrogen and hydrogen. The molar mass of N₂ is 28.00 g/mol and the molar mass of H₂ is 2.02 g/mol.

(100 kg N₂)(1000g/kg)(mol/28.00g) = 3570 mol

(100 kg H₂)(1000g/kg)(mol/2.02g) = 49500 mol

The molar ratio between the reactant N₂ and H₂ is 1N₂:3H₂. The moles of nitrogen required to react with H₂ is:

(49500 mol H₂)(1N₂ / 3H₂) = 16500 mol

The amount of nitrogen required is more than what is available, so nitrogen is the limiting reagent and hydrogen is the excess reagent.

On the basis of periodic trends, choose the larger atom from each pair (if possible): match the elements in the left column to t

Ne4ueva [31]

The given question is incomplete. The complete question is as follows.

On the basis of periodic trends, choose the larger atom from each pair (if possible): match the elements in the left column to the appropriate blanks in the sentences on the right. make certain each sentence is complete before submitting your answer.

Sn, F, Ge, not predictable, Cr

Of Ge or Po, the larger atom is .........

Of F or Se, the larger atom is ..........

Of Sn or I, the larger atom is .........

Of Cr or W, the larger atom is ........

Explanation:

When we move down a group then there occurs an increase in atomic size of the atoms due to increase in the number of electrons.

Ge is a group 14 element which lies in period 4 and Po is a group 16 element that lies in period 6. As polonium is larger in size as compared to germanium.

Fluorine is a group 17 element and lies in period 2. Selenium is a group 16 element lies in 4. Therefore, selenium is larger in size as compared to fluorine.

Sn is a group 14 element that lies in period 5 and I is a group 17 element that lies in period 5. Hence, I is a larger atom.

Cr is a d-block element which lies in period 4 and W is also a d-block element which lies in period 6. Hence, W is larger in size than Cr.

Thus, we can conclude that given blanks are matched as follows.

Of Ge or Po, the larger atom is Po.

Of F or Se, the larger atom is Se.

Of Sn or I, the larger atom is I.

Of Cr or W, the larger atom is W.

Dermal tissue in plants, is most like what tissue in humans?

Arte-miy333 [17]

The dermal tissue is basically the outer part of the cell that protects the plant cell so in that case it would be the carbohydrate or cell wall. If you would put the choices it could have been a bit better :)

Use the map to explain where the South American and African plates were located hundreds of thousands of years ago. Africa was m

DaniilM [7]

<span>Africa was more south and west and South America was more south and east of their current positions. I would say this would be because because South America and Africa used to be together in Gondwanaland millions of years ago and then apparently drifted apart as Wegener thought and then with the advent of plate tectonics it became apparent that the mid-Atlantic ridge runs between them and due to spreading along it Africa and S America got separated.</span>

An ideal gas in a cylindrical container of radius r and height h is kept at constant pressure p. The bottom of the container is

Juli2301 [7.4K]

Answer:

$m =\frac{p*(pi)*r^{2}*h*mw}{R*\frac{T_{1} + T_{O}}{2}}$

Explanation:

The gas ideal law is

PV= nRT (equation 1)

Where:

P = pressure

R = gas constant

T = temperature

n= moles of substance

V = volume

Working with equation 1 we can get

$n =\frac{PV}{RT}$

The number of moles is mass (m) / molecular weight (mw). Replacing this value in the equation we get.

$\frac{m}{mw} =\frac{PV}{RT}$ or

$m =\frac{P*V*mw}{R*T}$ (equation 2)

The cylindrical container has a constant pressure p

The volume is the volume of a cylinder this is

$V =(pi)*r^{2}*h$

Where:

r = radius

h = height

(pi) = number pi (3.1415)

This cylinder has a radius, r and height, h so the volume is $V =(pi)*r^{2}*h$

Since the temperatures has linear distribution, we can say that the temperature in the cylinder is the average between the temperature in the top and in the bottom of the cylinder. This is:

$T =\frac{T_{1} + T_{O}}{2}$

Replacing these values in the equation 2 we get:

$m =\frac{P*V*mw}{R*T}$ (equation 2)

$m =\frac{p*(pi)*r^{2}*h*mw}{R*\frac{T_{1} + T_{O}}{2}}$

What point A on the phase diagram called?

Mariana [72]

Answer:

D) the critical point

Explanation:

Point A is the critical point in phase diagram. This is the highest temperature and pressure at which a pure material can exist in vapor/liquid equilibrium. Pretty cool!
