Answer:

a) 1.39 g ; b) O₂ is limiting reactant,  NH₃ is excess reactant; c) 0.7 g

Explanation:

We have the masses of two reactants, so this is a limiting reactant problem.

We will need a balanced equation with masses, moles, and molar masses of the compounds involved.

1. Gather all the information in one place with molar masses above the formulas and masses below them.  

MM:        17.03    32.00     30.01

              4NH₃  +  5O₂ ⟶ 4NO + 6H₂O

Mass/g:    1.5        1.85

2. Calculate the moles of each reactant  

\text{moles of NH}_{3} = \text{1.5 g NH}_{3} \times \dfrac{\text{1 mol NH}_{3}}{\text{17.03 g NH}_{3}} = \text{0.0881 mol NH}_{3}\\\\\text{moles of O}_{2} = \text{1.85 g O}_{2} \times \dfrac{\text{1 mol O}_{2}}{\text{32.00 g O}_{2}} = \text{0.057 81 mol O}_{2}

3. Calculate the moles of NO we can obtain from each reactant

From NH₃:

The molar ratio is 4 mol NO:4 mol NH₃

\text{Moles of NO} = \text{0.0881 mol NH}_{3} \times \dfrac{\text{4 mol NO}}{\text{4 mol NH}_{3}} = \text{0.0881 mol NO}

From O₂:

The molar ratio is 4 mol NO:5 mol O₂

\text{Moles of NO} =  \text{0.057 81 mol O}_{2}\times \dfrac{\text{4 mol NO}}{\text{5 mol O}_{2}} = \text{0.046 25 mol NO}

4. Identify the limiting and excess reactants

The limiting reactant is O₂ because it gives the smaller amount of NO.

The excess reactant is NH₃.

5. Calculate the mass of NO formed

\text{Mass of NO} = \text{0.046 25 mol NO}\times \dfrac{\text{30.01 g NO}}{\text{1 mol NO}} = \textbf{1.39 g NO}

6. Calculate the moles of NH₃ reacted

The molar ratio is 4 mol NH₃:5 mol O₂

\text{Moles reacted} = \text{0.057 81 mol O}_{2} \times \dfrac{\text{4 mol NH}_{3}}{\text{5 mol O}_{2}} = \text{0.046 25 mol NH}_{3}

7. Calculate the mass of NH₃ reacted

\text{Mass reacted} = \text{0.046 25 mol NH}_{3} \times \dfrac{\text{17.03 g NH}_{3}}{\text{1 mol NH}_{3}} = \text{0.7876 g NH}_{3}

8. Calculate the mass of NH₃ remaining

Mass remaining = original mass – mass reacted = (1.5 - 0.7876) g = 0.7 g NH₃

Which of the following would dissolve in water, and why?
Oduvanchick [21]

Answer:

It should be acetic acid.

Explanation:

When you have ionic bonds, the ionic bonds will always be water soluble; the polarity doesn't matter for this case.

liubo4ka [24]

Answer: Anna stated that ionic compounds have high melting point and low boiling point. The error in the statement is that ionic compound have low boiling point, instead ionic compounds have high boiling point, because in an ionic compound, the force of attraction working between two ions is very strong and hence the bonds present are very strong, and a lot of energy is needed to break them

Zigmanuir [339]

Answer:

Yes it is a mineral

Explanation:

Susanna has found a mineral because the five characteristics of a mineral are naturally occurring solid, crystal structure, forms by inorganic process, and definite chemical composition. Everything that was listed in the question describes the fact that its a mineral.
