Answer:
1) The limiting reactant is N₂ because it is present with the lower no. of moles than H₂.
2) The amount (in grams) of excess reactant H₂ = 4.39 g.
Explanation:
- Firstly, we should write the balanced equation of the reaction:
<em>N₂ + 3H₂ → 2NH₃.</em>
<em>1) To determine the limiting reactant of the reaction:</em>
- From the stichiometry of the balanced equation, 1.0 mole of N₂ reacts with 3.0 moles of H₂ to produce 2.0 moles of NH₃.
- This means that <em>N₂ reacts with H₂ with a ratio of (1:3).</em>
- We need to calculate the no. of moles (n) of N₂ (5.23 g) and H₂ (5.52 g) using the relation:<em> n = mass / molar mass.</em>
The no. of moles of N₂ in (5.23 g) = mass / molar mass = (5.23 g) / (28.00 g/mol) = 0.1868 mol.
The no. of moles of H₂ (5.52 g) = mass / molar mass = (5.52 g) / (2.015 g/mol) = 2.74 mol.
- From the stichiometry, N₂ reacts with H₂ with a ratio of (1:3).
The ratio of the reactants of N₂ (5.23 g, 0.1868 mol) to H₂ (5.52 g, 2.74 mol) is (1:14.67).
∴ The limiting reactant is N₂ because it is present with the lower no. of moles than H₂.
0.1868 mol of N₂ react completely with 0.5604 mol of H₂ and the remaining of H₂ is in excess.
<em>2) To determine the amount (in grams) of excess reactant of the reaction:</em>
- As showed in the part 1, The limiting reactant is N₂ because it is present with the lower no. of moles than H₂.
- Also, 0.1868 mol of N₂ react completely with 0.5604 mol of H₂ and the remaining of H₂ is in excess.
- The no. of moles are in excess of H₂ = 2.74 mol - 0.5604 mol (reacted with N₂) = 2.1796 mol.
- ∴ The amount (in grams) of excess reactant H₂ = n (excess moles) x molar mass = (2.1796 mol)((2.015 g/mol) = 4.39 g.
I am pretty sure that the answer is true
Molarity is a concentration unit, the number of moles of solute divided by the numbers of liters in a solution. Pertaining to chem
