You must remember that oxidation number of hydrogen in acids is always +1, oxidation number of oxygen in oxides & acids is always -2... metals has always oxidation number on plus!
group NO3 comes from HNO3...and oxidation number of whole acid group is always on minus and equal to the amount of hydrogen atoms in this acid... so oxidation number of NO3 = -1
we have 2 NO3 groups so 2*(-1) = -2 and that is the reason why oxidation number of Fe in this formula must be +2... because sum of all elements always gives 0!
Now we could count of oxidation number for nitrogen... we write HNO3 and start counting from right to left:
3*(-2) from oxygens + 1 from hydrogen = -5
so nitrogen must have +5 oxidation number... because sum all in formula must be 0.
Answer:
oxygen is limiting reactant
Explanation:
Given data:
Mass of hydrogen = 16.7 g
Mass of oxygen = 15.4 g
Limiting reactant = ?
Solution:
Chemical equation:
2H₂ + O₂ → 2H₂O
Number of moles of hydrogen:
Number of moles = mass/ molar mass
Number of moles = 16.7 g/ 2 g/mol
Number of moles = 8.35 mol
Number of moles of oxygen:
Number of moles = mass/ molar mass
Number of moles = 15.4 g/ 32 g/mol
Number of moles = 0.48 mol
Now we will compare the moles of both reactant with product,
H₂ : H₂O
2 : 2
8.35 : 8.35
O₂ : H₂O
1 : 2
0.48 : 2×0.48 = 0.96 mol
The number of moles of water produced by oxygen are less so it will limiting reactant.
It is stored in the bonds between atoms.
Yes. it could kill someone because they are designed to take the oxygen out of the atmosphere to put out a fire, You can kill a person by suffixation, You can purchase a unit that gives off a harmless vapor that resembles white smoke though.
