To solve this problem, you must first balance the chemical equation and then identify the limiting reactant. The balanced reaction is 3Cl2 + 3H2O = 5HCl + HClO3. Next is finding the limiting reactant. To do this, you have to compare each reactant to the same product. 15.2 g of chlorine gas (Cl2), is equal to 0.214 mols of chlorine gas, and the mol to mol ratio of chlorine gas to hydrochloric acid is 3:5. So, for every 3 mols of Cl2 gas, there are 5 mols of HCl. 0.214mols Cl2 times (5/3) gives you 0.357 mols of HCl. Next you have to go through the same process except with water. 8.46g water divided by 18.016g water per mol = 0.470 mols H2O. The mol to mol ration is still 3:5, so 0.470 times (5/3), which gives you 0.783mols HCl. A chemical reaction is limited based on the amount of reactants present, and so the reaction is limited by whichever reactant runs out first. In this case, the limiting reactant is chlorine gas because it produced a smaller amount of HCl, and therefore the “limit” of the reaction. This means that the maximum amount of HCl that can form is 0.357 mols, or 13.016 grams of HCl if the answer is supposed to be given in grams.

2. Which state of matter will take both the volume
Vikentia [17]

Answer:

The answer would be C) a liquid.

Explanation:

If you were to pour a glass of water into a rectangular container, the water would fill up the container and be in the same shape as the container. That is becuase water flows and it doesn't harden up or take its own shape until it's frozen. The molecules are not tightly secure to each other so they are able to move freely.

Bacteria that live around deep-sea hot-water vents obtain energy by oxidizing inorganic hydrogen sulfide belched out by the vent
ElenaW [278]

Answer:

<h2>chemoautotrophs</h2>

Explanation:

Such types of bacteria that oxidize inorganic compounds to obtain energy and use carbon dioxide as a carbon source to synthesize their food are known as chemoautotrophs such as iron-oxidizing bacteria, cyanobacteria, sulfur-oxidizing bacteria and some other. Chemoautrophic mode of nutrition is a type of autotrophic nutrition in which organisms have the ability to synthesized their own food by using chemical energy in the place of solar energy. The organismS that use solar energy to synthesize their food are known as photoautotrophic organisms such as plants and some other organisms.

What is the frequency of a red light with a wavelength of 6.98 x 10^-6
nevsk [136]

Answer:

frequency of light = 4.2\times 10^{-13}

Explanation:

we know that relation between frequency and wavelength of light is

frequency × wavelength = speed of light.

therefore frequency = \frac{c}{wavelength}

                                  = \frac{3\times 10^{8}}{6.98\times 10^{-6}}

                                  =4.2\times 10^{-13}
