Answer:

The answer to your question is letter b) X

Explanation:

Data

W = 5 units

X = 6 units

Chemical reaction

                              2W  + 3X   ⇒  3Y  +  Z

To determine which reactant is the limiting reactant, we must use proportions:

-Theoretical proportion   W / X  = 2 / 3 = 0.67

- Experimental proportion W / X = 5 / 6 = 0.83

As the experimental proportion is higher than the theoretical proportion, we conclude that the amount of W is higher in the experiment so the limiting reactant is X.

Identify two ways that temperature plays a role in chemical changes.
sergejj [24]

Answer:

Increasing the temperature will cause chemical changes to occur faster. Decreasing the temperature, causes the particles to lose energy which causes them to move around less and slower. The less they move, the less collisions occur, and the less reactions occur between the chemicals = slower reaction rate.

What is the empirical formula of a compound containing 40.0% sulfur and 60.0% oxygen by mass?
gizmo_the_mogwai [7]

in order to determine empirical formula we have to determine the mole ratio of the given elements

Let the total mass of the compound is 100g

as given that the compound has 40% sulfur , so mass of sulfur = 40g

as given that the compound has 60% oxygen, so mass of oxygen = 60g

let us calculate the moles of each element

Moles of sulfur = mass / atomic mass = 40 / 32 = 1.25

moles of oxygen = mass / atomic mass = 60/ 16 = 3.75

In order to get simple ratio of moles we will divide both the moles with least number of moles which is 1.25

moles of sulfur = 1.25 / 1.25 = 1

moles of oxygen = 3.75 /1.25 = 3

So empirical formula will be SO₃
