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

Buffering capacity refers to: the effectiveness of commercial antacids the extent to which a buffer solution can counteract the
kirill [66]

Answer: Option (b) is the correct answer.

Explanation:

Buffere is defined as the solution to whom when an acid or base is added then it resists any in change in pH of the solution.

This is because a buffer has the ability to not get affected by the addition of small amounts of an acid or a base. So, basically it keeps the concentration of both hydrogen ions and hydroxides equal. As a result, it helps in maintaining the pH of the solution.

And, the capacity of a buffer solution to resist the change is known as buffer capacity.

Thus, we can conclude that buffering capacity refers to the extent to which a buffer solution can counteract the effect of added acid or base.

Write the isotope notation for an element with 53 protons and 20 neutron?
iris [78.8K]

The isotope notation : ⁷³₅₃X

<h3>Further explanation</h3>

Given

53 protons and 20 neutron

Required

The isotope notation

Solution

Isotopes are elements that have the same atomic number with a different mass number

The following element notation,

\large {{{A} \atop {Z}} \right X}

X = symbol of element

A = mass number

   = number of protons + number of neutrons

Z = atomic number

   = number of protons = number of electrons, on neutral elements

So the mass number of element = 53 + 20 = 73

Atomic number = 53

The symbol :

\large {{{73} \atop {53}} \right X}

In reality, a hydrate of iron(III) nitrate had to be used, not the anhydrous salt. As you may guess, some of the hydrate’s mass
liq [111]

<u>Answer:</u> The mass of nonahydrate iron (III) nitrate is 16.2 g

<u>Explanation:</u>

To calculate the number of moles for given molarity, we use the equation:

\text{Molarity of the solution}=\frac{\text{Moles of solute}}{\text{Volume of solution (in L)}}

Molarity of Fe(NO_3)_3 = 0.0020 M

Volume of solution = 2 L

Putting values in above equation, we get:

0.0200M=\frac{\text{Moles of }Fe(NO_3)_3}{2L}\\\\\text{Moles of }Fe(NO_3)_3=(0.0200mol/L\times 2L)=0.04mol

The chemical equation for the decomposition of hydrated iron (III) nitrate follows:

Fe(NO_3)_3.9H_2O\rightarrow Fe(NO_3)_3+9H_2O

By Stoichiometry of the reaction:

1 mole of iron (III) nitrate is produced from 1 mole of hydrated iron (III) nitrate

So, 0.04 moles of iron (III) nitrate will be produced from = \frac{1}{1}\times 0.04=0.04mol of hydrated iron (III) nitrate

To calculate the mass from given number of moles, we use the equation:

\text{Number of moles}=\frac{\text{Given mass}}{\text{Molar mass}}

Molar mass of nonahydrate iron (III) nitrate = 404.0 g/mol

Moles of nonahydrate iron (III) nitrate = 0.04 moles

Putting values in above equation, we get:

0.04mol=\frac{\text{Mass of nonahydrate iron (III) nitrate}}{404.0g/mol}\\\\\text{Mass of nonahydrate iron (III) nitrate}=(0.04mol\times 404.0g/mol)=16.2g

Hence, the mass of nonahydrate iron (III) nitrate is 16.2 g
