If 3 moles of H2 react with two moles of o2 what is limiting reactant

Chemistry

Dominik [7]4 years ago

H₂ is the limiting reactant.

<u>Explanation:</u>

H₂  reacts with O₂

The reaction would be

2H₂ + O₂ → 2H₂O

According to the balanced equation, 2 moles of H₂ reacts with 1 mole of O₂ to form 2 moles of H₂O.

The ratio of usage of H₂ and O₂ is 2 : 1 respectively

If 3 moles of H₂ and 2 moles of O₂ are present then:

3 moles of H₂ would require 1.5 moles of O₂                 ( 2 : 1 of H₂ and O₂ )

Out of 2 moles of O₂, 1.5 moles would be used and 0.5 mole would be in excess.

Therefore, H₂ is the limiting reactant as the number of moles of H₂ are not enough to use all the O₂.

Rate = K[A]
Aleks [24]

Answer:

9 × 10⁻³ mol·L⁻¹s⁻¹  

Explanation:

Data:

  k = 1 × 10⁻³ L·mol⁻¹s⁻¹

[A] = 3 mol·L⁻¹

Calculation:

rate = k[A]² = 1 × 10⁻³ L·mol⁻¹s⁻¹ × (3 mol·L⁻¹)² = 9 × 10⁻³ mol·L⁻¹s⁻¹

Another chemistry question i’m not good at this at all:( has me stressed
adoni [48]

Answer:

Average atomic mass = 15.86 amu.

Explanation:

Given data:

Number of atoms of Z-16.000 amu = 205

Number of atoms of Z-14.000 amu = 15

Average atomic mass  = ?

Solution:

Total number of atoms = 205 + 15 = 220

Percentage of Z-16.000 = 205/220 ×100 = 93.18%

Percentage of Z-14.000 = 15/220 ×100 = 6.82 %

Average atomic mass  = (abundance of 1st isotope × its atomic mass) +(abundance of 2nd isotope × its atomic mass)  / 100

Average atomic mass  = (93.18×16.000)+(6.82×14.000) /100

Average atomic mass =  1490.88 + 95.48 / 100

Average atomic mass =  1586.36 / 100

Average atomic mass = 15.86 amu.

Give a chemical formula for the compound formed when sulfur dioxide reacts with water
zavuch27 [327]
When sulfur dioxide reacts with water , the product is called sulphurous acid, H2SO3. The balanced equation is expressed in the following manner : SO2  + H2O = H2SO3. There is a one mole to one mole ratio between any of the reactants to product, sulphurous acid.

Hello sunrays~<br>help me with these questions ​
andre [41]

Explanation:

During the formation of BeCl2, the beryllium atom bonds with two chlorine atoms via single covalent bonds. The number of electron pairs around the central atom will be two. No lone pair is found in the molecule. If we analyse this information then we can conclude that BeCl2 has sp hybridization.
