Which of the following is not true about limiting and excess reagents?

Chemistry
1 answer:
Bogdan [553]3 years ago
4 0

Answer : The incorrect option is, (d) The reactant that was the smallest given mass is the limiting reagent.

Explanation :

Limiting reagent : It is the reagent that is completely consumed in the chemical reaction when the chemical reaction is complete. No amount is left after the reaction is complete. The amount of product obtained is determined by the limiting reagent. A balanced equation is necessary to determine which reactant is limiting reagent.

Excess reagent : It is the reagent that are not completely consumed in the chemical reaction. That means the reagent is in excess amount. Some amount of the excess reagent is left over after the reaction is complete.

From this we conclude that the options, A, B and C are correct. While the option D is incorrect.

Option D is incorrect because it is not necessary the reactant that was the smallest given mass is the limiting reagent but it is judge by the number of moles present in the reaction.

Hence, the incorrect option is, (d)

The important thing to note is the reason why electron react is due to the instability of the electrons. All elements wants to aim the electron configuration of the noble gases. This is the most stable form in which each of the orbitals are sufficiently filled. When it comes to bonding, the order of reactivity is: alkynes > alkenes > alkanes. Alkynes are compounds with triple bonds, alkenes with double bonds and alkanes with single bonds. The single bonds are called saturated hydrocarbons. This is because they have reached stability, so it is quite difficult to react this with reducing or oxidizing agents. Alkynes and alkenes are unsaturated hydrocarbons. They readily react with reducing and oxidizing agents so as to become saturated, as well. The underlying principle for this is that single bonds contain sigma bonds which is the head-on overlapping of electrons. These is the strongest type of covalent bond. Double and triple bonds contain pi bonds which is the side overlapping of electrons orbitals. Hence, these electrons would be easily separated making it more reactive especially during protonation.

Calculate the amount in grams of Na2CO3 needed in a reaction with HCl to produce 120g NaCl?
klemol [59]
The balanced chemical reaction is written as :

Na2CO3<span> + 2HCl === 2NaCl + H2O + CO2
</span>
We are given the amount of NaCl to be produced from the reaction. This will be the starting point for the calculations. We do as follows:

120 g NaCl ( 1 mol / 58.44 g) ( 1 mol Na2CO3 / 2 mol NaCl)( 105.99 g / 1 mol ) = 1108.82 g Na2CO3 needed
