The balanced chemical reaction is:
Zn + 2AgNO3 = Zn(NO3)2 + 2Ag
To determine the amount of the reactant left, we have to determine which is the limiting and the excess reactant. We do as follows:
5.65 g Zn ( 1 mol / 65.38 g) = 0.09 mol Zn
21.6 g AgNO3 (1 mol / 169.87 g) = 0.13 mol AgNO3
The limiting reactant would be silver nitrate since it is consumed completely in the reaction. The excess reactant would be zinc.
Excess Zinc = 0.09 mol Zn - (0.13 / 2) mol Zn = 0.025 mol Zn left
The concept used here is the Le Chatelier's principle. When a disturbance is introduced to the system, it favors the direction of reaction that minimizes the disturbance to regain equilibrium.
In endothermic reactions, the forward reaction is favored when the temperature is low. Otherwise, the reverse reaction is favored. When you add the amounts of substances on the reactant side, more products would formed favoring the forward reaction. If you increase concentration on the product side, you form more reactants so it would favor the reverse reaction. Lastly, since 10 moles of gases are needed in the reactant side, it would be favored during high pressure reaction.
Barrier islands typically have sand in the beach zone and dune field, and mud in the back-barrier. Overwash deposits sand in the back-barrier.
Barrier islands form in three ways. They can form from spits, from drowned dune ridges or from sand bars. Longshore drift is the movement of sand parallel to the shore caused by the angle of the waves breaking on the beach. ... When a storm such as a hurricane digs an inlet through the spit a barrier island is formed.
