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.

An 8.5g Ice Cube is placed into 255g water.
Troyanec [42]
LAw of conservation of Energy is an important concept to solve this problem. The energy released is equal to the energy absorbed. 
Ice undergoes latent heat. MEaning there is a change in phase but not temperature and the energy is solved by (enthalpy of fusion)(mass) = 333.5J/g)(8.5g). =2834.75J. 
This is equal to the energy released by the water. The energy is computed by (mass)(specific heat of water)(temperature change) = (255g)(4.16J/gK)(T)

Final equation is: 
2834.75 = 255(4.16)(T) 
T = 2.67K

This table compares magnitude and depth of four earthquakes occurring between 1955 - 2017. The surface changes that occur as a r
torisob [31]

Answer:

The correct answer is option B) "Higher-magnitude earthquakes do not always happen deeper in Earth's crust".

Explanation:

The table shows data of magnitude and depth of earthquakes that occurred at different time and at different locations. By analyzing the data we can conclude that higher-magnitude earthquakes do not always happen deeper in Earth's crust. At first glance we can thought that higher-magnitude earthquakes occur at high depth. However, the earthquake of Michoacan have a higher-magnitude than the earthquake of Alexandria (8 and 6.3, respectively), and the earthquake of Michoacan occurred at 12 miles of depth, while the earthquake of Alexandria occurred at 15 miles of depth.

The given potentials are observed for a calomel electrode: E ° = 0.268 V and E ( saturated KCl ) = 0.241 V . Use this informatio
Anvisha [2.4K]

Answer: The E for Silver-silver Chloride electrode = 0.287 V

Explanation:

Silver/Silver Chloride (Ag/AgCl) with a value for E° that is actually +0.222 V or approximately 0.23 V has the actual potential of the half-cell prepared in this way as +0.197 V vs SHE, (Standard Hydrogen Electrode) which arises because in addition to KCl, there is the contribuion of AgCl to the chloride activity, which isn't exactly unity.

Therefore, the E for the Ag/AgCl electrode would approximately equal 0.287 V

Anyone know why its important for membranes to be selectivity permeable?
lorasvet [3.4K]
The term, selectively permeable, refers to the fact that the membrane allows some substances or molecules to enter the cells, and others to be prevented from entering. It also allows substances to leave the cell. All of this is dependent on the size of the molecule and the concentrations on either side of the membrane.

Selectively permeable membranes are important in maintaining homeostasis, fluid and electrolyte balance, and cellular health. Cells need to receive glucose and other nutrients in order to carry on normal cellular processes, and eliminate waste products of metabolism to avoid the accumulation of cellular toxins which can disrupt cellular processes and lead to cellular death.
