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.

What causes a substance to change states of matter?

Salutations!

What causes a substance to change states of matter?

Energy causes a substance to change states of matter. A matter needs energy to melt, evaporate, boil. Remember: Energy has a sudden change, but the temperature remains absolutely the same. An example of a change in energy is when ice is melting.

Hope I helped (:

Have a great day!

Why is it difficult to undergo nucleophilic substitution in haloarene?​
goldenfox [79]

Answer:

In Haloarenes the C atom to which the X group is attached is SP2 hybridized thus it is become difficult to replace it by the Nucleophile. Since arenes and Vinyl halides are electron rich molecules due to presenceof n bonds, they repel Nucleophile attacking them.

What does the host mean when he says that the acid has "donated a proton" to the water?
weqwewe [10]

Answer:

Option B

Explanation:

As Brønsted-Lowry theory states, acids are the ones that can donate protons.

When a proton is donated, it is released to become medium more acidic.

HCl is a strong acid.

HCl (l) + H₂O (l)  →  H₃O⁺ (aq) +  Cl⁻(aq)

These always reffers to strong acid where the dissociation is 100% completed.

In a weak acid, dissociation is not 100% complete, that's why we have an equilibrium.

HA (l) + H₂O (l)  ⇄  H₃O⁺ (aq) +  A⁻(aq)                   Ka

What is the mass of 5 moles of Fe2(CO3)3 ?
sineoko [7]

Answer:

1218.585

Explanation:

Looking at the subscripts we know there are 2 atoms of Fe, 3 atoms of C, and 6 of O.

Take the molar mass of each atom (from the periodic table) and multiply by the # of atoms

Fe: 55.845×2= 111.69

C: 12.011×3= 36.033

O:15.999×6=95.994

Add the values together: 243.717 g/mol

That is 1 mole of the molecule. Multiply by 5 for the final answer.

243.717×5=1218.585
