Answer:

N₂ is the limiting reactant

Explanation:

The balanced reaction between N₂ gas and H₂ gas is:

N₂ + 3H₂ → 2NH₃

In order to determine the limiting reactant, we have to <u>calculate the number of moles of each rectant</u>, using their molecular weight:

  • Moles of N₂= 100 kg * \frac{1kmol}{28kg} = 3.57 kmol
  • Moles of H₂= 100 kg * \frac{1kmol}{2kg} = 50.0 kmol

Lastly, we multiply the number of moles of N₂ by 3, and the number of moles of H₂ by 1; due to the coefficients in the balanced reaction. Whichever number is lower, belongs to the limiting reactant.

N₂ => 10.7

H₂ => 50.0

Thus N₂ is the limiting reactant

Explain what atom is used as a reference when determining how many atoms are in a mole
Whitepunk [10]

Answer: Ok so the MOLE (mol) is a unit of measurement representing the amount of a substance that contains the same number of atoms as there are molecules in exactly 12 grams of carbon-12 (i.e., 6022X1023).

Explanation: And that's how it goes, I hope you understood it well!

Which of the following describes the cause of acid rain?
taurus [48]

Acid rain is caused by a chemical reaction that begins when compounds like sulfur dioxide and nitrogen oxides are released into the air. These substances can rise very high into the atmosphere, where they mix and react with water, oxygen, and other chemicals to form more acidic pollutants, known as acid rain.

What is an expression of Boyle's law (k = constant)?
Leni [432]

Answer:

C.) PV = k

Explanation:

Boyle's Law is a variation of the Ideal Gas Law when all variables, except for pressure and volume, are held constant.

Pressure is represented by "P" and volume is represented by "V". In the Ideal Gas Law, pressure and volume are inversely proportional (if one goes up, the other goes down). That being said, the equation which best represents Boyle's Law is PV = k.
