Answer:

hydrochloric acid

Explanation:

The hydrochloric acid in this reaction is the limiting reactant. A limiting reactant is the reactant that is used up in a chemical reaction. It determines the extent of the reaction.

Since the solution indicates a basic one after the end of the reaction, this suggests that more of the sodium hydroxide is still left unreacted with.

The reactant in excess supply here is the sodium hydroxide and the bulk of it is till left in solution.

Urea (CH4N2O) is a common fertilizer that can be synthesized by the reaction of ammonia (NH3) with carbon dioxide as follows:
Nezavi [6.7K]

The theoretical yield of urea : = 227.4 kg

<h3>Further explanation</h3>

Given

Reaction

2NH3(aq)+CO2(aq)→CH4N2O(aq)+H2O(l)

128.9 kg of ammonia

211.4 kg of carbon dioxide

166.3 kg of urea.

Required

The theoretical yield of urea

Solution

mol Ammonia (MW=17 g/mol)

=128.9 : 17

= 7.58 kmol

mol CO₂(MW=44 g/mol) :

= 211.4 : 44

= 4.805 kmol

Mol : coefficient of reactant , NH₃ : CO₂ :

= 7.58/2 : 4.805/1

=3.79 : 4.805

Ammonia as limiting reactant(smaller ratio)

Mol urea based on mol Ammonia :

=1/2 x 7.58

=3.79 kmol

Mass urea :

=3.79 kmol x 60 g/mol

= 227.4 kg

Explain why it is necessary to balance chemical equations in terms of maintaining equilibrium. How can you tell when a chemical
LUCKY_DIMON [66]

Answer:

See explanation.

Explanation:

Hello,

In this case, we say that chemical reactions are governed by the law of conservation of mass, which states that matter cannot be neither created nor destroyed by transformed, for that reason, we need to balance chemical reactions in order to ensure all the atoms to be in the same quantity at both reactants and products.

Moreover, equilibrium is defined as such condition at which the concentration of both reactants and products stop changing over the time so they become constant as well as their null reaction rate.

A widely acknowledged reaction is the HABER one which consists on the synthesis of ammonia by using elemental nitrogen and hydrogen:

N_2(g)+3H_2(g)\rightleftharpoons 2NH_3(g)

In such reaction, we have two nitrogens at both reatants and products and six hydrogens at at both reatants and products for us to obey the law of conservation of mass. Furthermore, as the time goes by, nitrogen reacts with hydrogen, nonetheless, they do not react indefinitely, they have a limit that is equilibrium, so their moles stop being consumed and remain unchanged as well as the produced moles of ammonia.

Best regards.

Which statement describes an Arrhenius acid? A. It is a proton donor. B. It is a proton acceptor. C. It produces hydroxide ions
Katen [24]
Hello.

The answer is: D it produces hyrogen ions in a solution.

This is correct because when Arrhenius acid it turns into hydrogen ions.substance as an acid if it produces hydrogen ions H(+) or hydronium ions in water. A substance is classified as a base if it produces hydroxide ions OH(-) in water.
