Since you have not included the chemical reaction I will explain you in detail.

1) To determine the limiting agent you need two things:

- the balanced chemical equation

- the amount of every reactant involved as per the chemical equation

2) The work is:

- state the mole ratios of all the reactants: these are the ratios of the coefficientes of the reactans in the balanced chemical equation.


- determine the number of moles of each reactant with this formula:

number of moles = (mass in grams) / (molar mass)

- set the proportion with the two ratios (theoretical moles and actual moles)


- compare which reactant is below than the stated by the theoretical ratio.

3) Example: determine the limiting agent in this reaction if there are 100 grams of each reactant:

i) Chemical equation: H₂ + O₂ → H₂O

ii) Balanced chemical equation: 2H₂ + O₂ → 2H₂O

iii) Theoretical mole ration of the reactants: 2 moles H₂ : 1 mol O₂

iv) Covert 100 g of H₂ into number of moles

n = 100g / 2g/mol = 50 mol of H₂

v) Convert 100 g of O₂ to moles: 

n = 100 g / 32 g/mol = 3.125 mol

vi) Actual ratio: 50 mol H₂ / 3.125 mol O₂

vii) Compare the two ratios:

2 mol H₂ / 1 mol O ₂ < 50 mol H₂ / 3.125 mol O₂

Conclusion: the actual ratio of H₂ to O₂ is greater than the theoretical ratio, meaning that the H₂ is in excess respect to the O₂. And that means that O₂ will be consumed completely while some H₂ will remain without react.

Therefore, the O₂ is the limiting reactant in this example.

Anna007 [38]

Answer:

The new volume of the balloon is 38.5 L

Explanation:

Step 1: Data given

Volume at the start = V1 = 35.0 L

Temperature at the start = T1 = 303 Kelvin

Volume by 3pm = TO BE DETERMINED

Temperature by 3pm = 333 Kelvin

<u>Step 2: </u>Calculate the new volume

Charles' gas law says

V1/T1  = V2/T2

V 1  is the initial volume and T1 is the initial temperature

V2 is the final volume and T2 is the final temperature

35 L / 303 Kelvin = V2 / 333 Kelvin

V2 = 35L * 333 Kelvin / 303 Kelvin

V2 = 38.47L ≈ 38.5 L

The new volume of the balloon is 38.5 L

The osmotic pressure of a solution formed by dissolving 35.0 mg of aspirin (c9h8o4) in 0.250 l of water at 25°c is __________ at
Lunna [17]
Mass of aspirin = 0.025 g
Molar mass of C9H8O4 is 180.1583 g/mol
moles of aspirin = .025g / 180.1583 g/mol = 0.000138767 moles
volume solution = .250 L
molarity of the solution = 0.000138767 moles / .250L =5.551 x 10 ^-04 Moles / liter
for aspirin i = Vant'Hoff factor = 1 particle in solution
T = 25 + 273 =298 K
osmotic pressure = M x R x T x i =
5.551 x 10 ^-04 mole L -1 x 0.08206 L atm K−1 mol−1 x 298 K x 1 = 0.0136 atmospheres
