Answer: c. The reactant that is used up before the others

Explanation:

For example:

2HCl+Ca\rightarrow CaCl_2+H_2

If we are given 100 g of HCl and 100 g of calcium.

As can be seen from the chemical equation, 2 moles of hydrochloric acid react with 1 mole of calcium.

According to mole concept, 1 mole of every substance weighs equal to its molar mass.

Thus 2\times 36.5=73 g of of hydrochloric acid reacts with 40 g of calcium.

100 g of hydrochloric acid react with=\frac{40}{73}\times 100=54.79 gof calcium

Thus HCl is the limiting reagent as it limits the formation of product and calcium is the excess reagent as (100-54.79)=45.21 g is left unreacted.

Thus HCl which is a limiting reagent will be used up before Calcium.

Some lichen symbionts can survive independently on bare rocks in the absence of any external source of organic matter due to the
sweet-ann [11.9K]

Answer:

Some lichen symbionts can survive independently on bare rocks in the absence of any external source of organic matter due to the ability of the phototrophic partner to fix CO2 from the air, and <u>nitrogen fixation by the cyanobacterial partner.</u>

Explanation:

Lichen are organisms formed from the symbiotic association of a fungus with an organism capable of photosynthesis, be it an algae, a cyanobacterium, or both.

The fungus depends entirely on the photosynthetic organism in its metabolism of carbohydrates, receiving sugars or saccharine alcohols from it. For its part, the algae depends, for its metabolism, on the water and the mineral substances that the fungus provides it, at the same time that it is also protected by it from too high light intensities.

Fill in the coefficients that will balance the following reaction:
dalvyx [7]

Answer:

C₃H₈₍g₎ + 5O₂₍g₎→  3CO₂₍g₎ + 4H₂O₍l₎

Explanation:

Propane is an alkane that burns in enough oxygen to produce carbon (iv) Oxide and heat as the only by products. Balancing the equation: The number of atoms of each kind on either side should be equal. Hydrogen on the left has eight atoms same as the right side after balancing, oxygen has 10 while carbon has 3 on each side.

At noon on a clear day, sunlight reaches the earth\'s surface at Madison, Wisconsin, with an average intensity of approximately
aleksandrvk [35]

I = average intensity of sunlight reaching at Madison = 2000 Js⁻¹m⁻²

A = area on which the light strike = 4.80 cm² = 4.80 x 10⁻⁴ m²

energy received per second by the area is given as

E = IA

inserting the values

E = (2000) (4.80 x 10⁻⁴)

E = 0.96 J

λ = wavelength of the photons in the sunlight = 510 x 10⁻⁹ m

c = speed of light = 3 x 10⁸ m/s

h = plank's constant = 6.63 x 10⁻³⁴ J-s

n = number of photons received per second

energy received per second is also given as

E = n h c /λ

inserting the values

0.96 = n (6.63 x 10⁻³⁴) (3 x 10⁸) /(510 x 10⁻⁹)

n = 2.5 x 10¹⁸ per second
