Because the formation of rust is a kind of chemistry reaction.
After chemistry reaction, compound with new properties is produced.
Of course, color is one of the new properties.
For example, if you put iron in colorless acid solution, a green solution is made.
This kind of chemisty reaction differs from physical reaction, for example, pigment with one color dissolves in liquid, a liquid with same color is made.
Chemical properties are all those properties that are shown when the chemical is a part of a reaction or is changed in any way. Unlike physical properties, they affect the composition of the chemical and the way it behaves, while physical does not change the chemical itself. Such properties are toxicity, flammability, reaction with other elements, stability, and many more.
Answer:
Cl₂ is the limiting reactant.
Explanation:
We'll begin by writing the balanced equation for the reaction. This is illustrated below:
N₂ + 3Cl₂ —> 2NCl₃
From the balanced equation above,
1 L of N₂ reacted with 3 L of Cl₂.
Finally, we shall determine the limiting reactant. This can be obtained as follow:
From the balanced equation above,
1 L of N₂ reacted with 3 L of Cl₂.
Therefore, 134 L of N₂ will react with = 134 × 3 = 402 L of Cl₂.
From the calculation made above, we can see that a higher volume (i.e 402 L) of Cl₂ than what was given (i.e 99 L) is needed to react completely with 134 L of N₂.
Therefore, Cl₂ is the limiting reactant and N₂ is the excess reactant.
