If you feed 100 kg of N2 gas and 100 kg of H2 gas into a reactor. What is the excess reactant?

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.

Here I found some info at Yahoo answers: https://answers.yahoo.com/question/index?qid=20090119191941AAB7oAb
The more electronegative an atom is the more unwilling it is to lose its electrons in a compound. If you do try to take a very EN atom away from a compound you'll need to apply a lot of energy for that to happen. I can give an example of a single atom though 

<span>Cl has 7 valence electron filled and every atom wants to be like nobles (noble gases), so it's not going to give an electron away b/c it's really close to being like a noble gas. Noble gases are the most stable atoms, which is why I say stability counts.</span>

Scenes A and B depict changes in matter at the atomic scale:
kaheart [24]

Scene B depicts chemical change in matter at atomic change.

Composition distinguishes a chemical reaction from a physical reaction. In a chemical process, the makeup of the components changes; in a physical change, the appearance, smell, or straightforward exhibition of a sample of matter changes without changing its composition. Despite the fact that we refer to them as physical "reactions," nothing is actually changing. A change in the substance in question's elemental composition is necessary for a reaction to occur. Therefore, from now on, we will simply refer to bodily "reactions" as physical changes.
