.3 liters... im pretty sure this is correct!!
<h3>Answer:</h3>
Excess Reagent = NBr₃
<h3>Solution:</h3>
The Balance Chemical Equation for the reaction of NBr₃ and NaOH is as follow,
2 NBr₃ + 3 NaOH → N₂ + 3 NaBr + 3 HBrO
Calculating the Limiting Reagent,
According to Balance equation,
2 moles NBr₃ reacts with = 3 moles of NaOH
So,
40 moles of NBr₃ will react with = X moles of NaOH
Solving for X,
X = (40 mol × 3 mol) ÷ 2 mol
X = 60 mol of NaOH
It means 40 moles of NBr₃ requires 60 moles of NaOH, while we are provided with 48 moles of NaOH which is Limited. Therefore, NaOH is the limiting reagent and will control the yield of products. And NBr₃ is in excess as some of it is left due to complete consumption of NaOH.
The best description of Ernest Rutherford's experiment is letter C. The positively charged particles were fired through a gold foil. Most of these particles went right through, while others bounced back. This experiment led to the discovery of the nucleus.
