Answer:

CuSO4

Explanation:

Na2S + CuSO4 → Na2SO4 + CuS

The reaction is balanced (same number of elements in each side)

To determine limiting reagent you need to know the moles you have of each.

Molar mass Na2S = 23 * 2 + 32 = 78

Molar mass CuSO4 = 63.5 + 32 + 16 * 4 = 159.5

Na2S mole = 15.5 / 78 = 0.2

CuSO4 mole = 12.1/159.5 = 0.076

*Remember mole = mass / MM

With that information now you have to divide each moles by its respective stoichiometric coefficient

Na2S stoichiometric coefficient : 1

Na2S : 0.2 / 1 = 0.2

CuSO4 stoichiometric coefficient: 1

CuSO4: 0.076 / 1 = 0.076

The smaller number between them its the limiting reagent, CuSO4

Lithium metal reacts with nitrogen gas to form lithium nitride. identify the balanced reaction that describes this process
Arlecino [84]

Lithium metal reacts with nitrogen gas to form lithium nitride the balanced chemical equation will be 6Li + N₂ → 2Li₃N.

<h3>What is a balanced chemical reaction?</h3>

In a balanced chemical reaction, the number of moles that are present at the side of the reactant must be always equal to the side of product formation this is known as a balanced chemical equation.

The balanced chemical reaction will be 6Li + N₂ → 2Li₃N.

Here 6 moles of lithium is reacting with one nitrogen but as it is in gaseous state it is N₂ after reacting with lithium it will give two moles

Therefore, balanced equation will be 6Li + N₂ → 2Li₃N

HElp me plzzzzz??????
iris [78.8K]

Answer:

The answer to your question is given below

Explanation:

We'll begin by writing the balanced equation for the reaction. This is illustrated below:

Zn + 2HCl —> ZnCl2 + H2

Thus, we can write out the atoms present in both the reactant and the product by doing a simple head count. The atoms present are listed below:

Element >>> Reactant >>> Product

Zn >>>>>>>> 1 >>>>>>>>>> 1

H >>>>>>>>> 2 >>>>>>>>> 2

Cl >>>>>>>>> 2 >>>>>>>>> 2

saw5 [17]

Answer:

New cells arise from existing cells.

Explanation:

According to the cell theory, "all living things are composed of one or more cells; the cell is the basic unit of life; and new cells arise from existing cells"(Lumen Learning).

Cells are the basic unit of life. Some organisms consists of only one cell while other organisms have many cells and are called multicellular organisms.

In multicellular organisms, new cells are formed by the division of preexisting cells.
