According to the following balanced equation, 2 formula units of Iron (III) Oxide (Fe2O3) can be formed by reacting 4 atoms of i

ron (Fe) with 3 molecules of oxygen gas (O2). If 12 atoms of iron are reacted with 6 molecules of oxygen gas, which is the limiting reactant and how many atoms or molecules will be left over? 4Fe + 3O2 -> 2Fe2O3

You have to use Avogadro's number (6.02x10^23 molecules/mole) to find the number of moles each reactant starts off with.
moles of Fe and O₂:
12 atoms/(6.02x10^23 atoms/mole)=1.99x10^-23 mol Fe
6 molecules/(6.02x10^23 molecules/mole)=9.967x10^-24 mol <span>O₂
</span>Then you find the limiting reagent by finding how much product each given amount of reactant can make.  Which ever one produces the least amount of product is the limiting reagent.
amount of Fe₂O₃ produced:
<span>(1.99x10^-23 mol Fe)x(2mol/4mol)= 9.967x10^-24mol Fe</span>₂O₃<span> 
</span>(9.967x10^-24 mol O₂)x(2mol/3mol)= 6.645x10^-24 mol Fe₂O₃<span> 
</span>since oxygen produces the leas amount of product, oxygen is the limiting reagent.  since we know that oxygen is the limiting reagent we can use the amount of product formed with oxygen to find the amount of iron used.
6.645x10^-24 mol Fe₂O₃x(4mol/2mol)=1.329x10^-23 mol Fe consumed
<span> find the amount left over by subtracting the original amount of Fe by the amount consumed in the reaction.
</span>1.993x10^-23-1.329x10^-23= 6.645x10^-23mol Fe left
 find the number of atoms by multiplying that by Avogadro's number.
<span>(6.645x10^-23mol)x(6.02x10^23 atoms/mol)=4 atoms
</span>therefore 4 atoms of Fe will be left over after the reaction happens.

I hope this helps.

<u>Answer:</u> The limiting reagent is Oxygen molecule and 4 atoms of Iron will be left over.

<u>Explanation:</u>

The given chemical equation is:

4Fe(s)+3O_2(g)\rightarrow 2Fe_2O_3(s)

By Stoichiometry of the reaction:

3 molecules of oxygen gas reacts with 4 atoms of iron.

So, 6 molecules of oxygen gas will react with = \frac{4}{3}\times 6=8 atoms of iron.

As, the required atoms of iron is less than the given atoms of iron. Therefore, it is present in excess and is considered as an excess reagent.

Hence, the limiting reagent is Iron atom because it limits the formation of product.

Atoms left remaining at the end of the reaction will be = 12 - 8 = 4 atoms.

Thus, the limiting reagent is Oxygen molecule and 4 atoms of Iron will be left over.

a compound containing only sulfur and nitrogen is by mass; the molar mass is g/mol. what are the empirical and molecular formula
kolezko [41]

The chemical compound's empirical formula is NS.

The chemical compound's molecular formula is N4S4.

<h3>What does a chemical empirical formula look like?</h3>
  • The empirical formula of a compound that gives the proportion (ratios) of the elements in the complex but not the precise number or arrangement of atoms is known as an empirical formula.
  • This would be the compound's element to whole number ratio with the lowest value.
<h3>What sort of empirical formula would that be?</h3>
  • The chemical structure of glucose is C6H12O6. Every mole of carbon and oxygen is accompanied by two moles of hydrogen.
  • Glucose has the empirical formula CH2O.
  • Ribose has the chemical formula C5H10O5, which can be simplified to the empirical formula CH2O.

What kinds of elements form an ionic bond?
Vanyuwa [196]
Ionic bonds usually occur between metal and nonmetal ions. For example, sodium (Na), a metal, and chloride (Cl), a nonmetal, form an ionic bond to make NaCl. In a covalent bond, the atoms bond by sharing electrons. Covalent bonds usually occur between nonmetals.
