If a mole of hydrogen reacts with a mole of oxygen to produce water, what is the excess reactant?

Answer:

Oxygen is the excess reactant.

Explanation: A simple balanced chemical equation for the production of water, will show:

2H2 + O2 -----> 2H20

2 : 1 2

From this, we can see that 2 moles H2 react with 1 mole of O2 to produce 2 moles of H2O. That is to say, hydrogen reacts with oxygen in the ratio 2:1

Also if 1 mole of H2 is needed to produce water, it will require 1/2 mole of O2 to react with.

Since we know this, we can tell from our question that 1 mole of H2 will react with 1/2 mole of O2 and be left with 1/2 mole of O2 as excess.

We can have a chemical equation for this as:

1/2H2 + O1/2 ------> 1/2H2O

1 : 1/2

Therefore, the H2 can be said to be the limiting reactant (gets consumed when the reaction is completed) while the oxygen is the excess reactant.

Which of these best explains why the hydrogen Adams in a water molecule are attracted to Cl- ions in sodium chloride (NaCl)?
Nostrana [21]

Answer:-

The hydrogen atoms have partial positive charges

Explanation:-

In a water molecule there are twp atoms hydrogen and oxygen.

Oxygen has more electronegativity than hydrogen. So the electrons in the bond between Oxygen and hydrogen are more towards oxygen. So hydrogen has a partial positive charge.

The Cl- has negative charge. Positive charge is attracted by negative charge.

Due to this hydrogen atoms in a water molecule are attracted to Cl- ions in sodium chloride (NaCl).

Silver nitride is formed when a silver cation that has a 1+ charge combines with a nitrogen anion that has a 3- charge. Write th
eimsori [14]
Silver's chemical symbol is Ag, and it has a 1+ charge. Nitrogen's chemical symbol is N, and it has a 3- charge. For silver and nitrogen to form a compound, their charges must cancel out to zero. Therefore, we would need 3 silver atoms for each nitrogen atom to balance the charges out. The formula for the silver nitride compound would be Ag3N.

Answer:

Number of moles of Fe = 10 mol

Number of moles of CO₂ = 15 mol

Explanation:

Given data:

Number of moles of iron oxide = 5 mol

Number of moles of carbon monoxide = 25 mol

Number of moles of product = ?

Solution:

Fe₂O₃ + 3CO   →  2Fe + 3CO₂

Now we will compare the moles of reactant with product.

                  Fe₂O₃        :         Fe

                     1             :          2

                    5             :         2×5 = 10 mol

                Fe₂O₃        :         CO₂

                     1             :          3

                    5             :         3×5 = 15 mol

                  CO           :         Fe

                     3             :          2

                    25             :         2/3×25 = 16.7 mol

                  CO            :         CO₂

                     3             :          3

                    25             :         25

Less number of moles of Fe and CO₂ are formed by iron oxide thus it will act as limiting reactant while CO is inn excess.
