Answer : The limiting reactant is O_2

Explanation : Given,

Mass of C_3H_8 = 30.0 g

Mass of O_2 = 75.0 g

Molar mass of C_3H_8 = 44 g/mole

Molar mass of O_2 = 32 g/mole

First we have to calculate the moles of C_3H_8 and O_2.

\text{ Moles of }C_3H_8=\frac{\text{ Mass of }C_3H_8}{\text{ Molar mass of }C_3H_8}=\frac{30.0g}{44g/mole}=0.682moles

\text{ Moles of }O_2=\frac{\text{ Mass of }O_2}{\text{ Molar mass of }O_2}=\frac{75.0g}{32g/mole}=2.34moles

Now we have to calculate the limiting and excess reagent.

The balanced chemical reaction is,

C_3H_8+5O_2\rightarrow 3CO_2+4H_2O

From the balanced reaction we conclude that

As, 5 mole of O_2 react with 1 mole of C_3H_8

So, 2.34 moles of O_2 react with \frac{2.34}{5}\times 1=0.468 moles of C_3H_8

From this we conclude that, C_3H_8 is an excess reagent because the given moles are greater than the required moles and O_2 is a limiting reagent and it limits the formation of product.

Therefore, the limiting reactant is O_2

By what factor will the kinetic energy change if the speed of the baseball is decreased to 54.8 mi/h? Express your answer as an
Serggg [28]

Answer:

The Kinetic Energy is approximately 3 times decreased

Explanation:

A baseball weighs 5.13 oz.  

a)What is the kinetic energy, in joules, of this baseball when it is thrown by a major league pitcher at 95.o mi/h?  

b) By what factor will the kinetic energy change if the speed of the baseball is decreased to 54.8 mi/h? Express your answer as an integer.

Kinetic Energy (KE)=0.5×mass×velocity ^ 2

Kinetic Energy (KE)=0.5×mass × velocity ^ 2

Joules = kg×m^2/s^2

1 mile = 1609.344 meters

1 hour = 3600 sec

1 Oz = 28.34952 g = 0.02834952 kg

a) KE=0.5×m×v^2

=0.5×(5.13 oz × 0.02834952 kg/1 ounce)×(95 miles/h × 1609.344 m/1 mile × 1 hr/3600 s)^2

=130.761 kg×m^2/s^2 = 130.761 Joules

b) KE=0.5×m×v^2

=0.5×(5.13 oz × 0.02834952 kg/1 ounce)×(54.8 miles/h × 1609.344 m/1 mile × 1 hr/3600 s)^2

=43.51028 kg×m^2/s^2 = 43.51028 Joules

= 130.761 / 43.51028 = 3.00528,  

As such the Kinetic Energy is approximately 3 times decreased

If a 67.3G rock is dissolved in 2.00L of acid, what is the molar concentration of gold in the acid solution
brilliants [131]

Answer:

[Au] = 0.171 M

Explanation:

For this question, we assume the rock is 100 % gold.

First of all, we determine the moles of gold

67.3 g . 1mol/ 196.97g = 0.342 moles

Molar concentration is defined as the moles of solute, contained in 1L of solution.

Our solution volume is 2L.

M = 0.342 mol / 2L = 0.171

Molar concentration, also called molarity of solution is the most typical unit of concentration.

Suppose the gas resulting from the sublimation of 1.00 g carbon dioxide is collected over water at 25.0◦c into a 1.00 l containe
jeyben [28]

Answer:

0.55 atm

Explanation:

First of all, we need to calculate the number of moles corresponding to 1.00 g of carbon dioxide. This is given by

n=\frac{m}{M_m}

where

m = 1.00 g is the mass of the gas

Mm = 44.0 g/mol is the molar mass of the gas

Substituting,

n=\frac{1.00 g}{44.0 g/mol}=0.0227 mol

Now we can find the pressure of the gas by using the ideal gas law:

pV=nRT

where

p is the gas pressure

V = 1.00 L is the volume

n = 0.0227 mol is the number of moles

R = 0.082 L/(atm K mol) is the gas constant

T = 25.0 C + 273 = 298 K is the temperature of the gas

Solving the formula for p, we find

p=\frac{nRT}{V}=\frac{(0.0227 mol)(0.082 L/(atm K mol))(298 K)}{1.00 L}=0.55 atm

We must __________ forces to calculate net force if the forces are going in OPPOSITE directions.
Virty [35]

Answer:

subtract

Explanation:

To find the net force of two bodies going in opposite directions, we must subtract the forces this is because they are not additive forces.

  • The net force is the resultant force acting on a body.
  • This resultant force is the single force that will produce the same effects as all given forces.
  • When forces are directed oppositely on a body, they are subtracted from each other to find the net force.

kumpel [21]

The correct answer is (D)


All the above are reasons the carbon , oxygen, and nitrogen cycles are vital to life on earth.


The explanation:


because :


1) Carbon, oxygen, and nitrogen are vital components of life on Earth.


2) The carbon, oxygen, and nitrogen cycles allow vital elements to return to usable form by organisms.


3)The carbon, oxygen, and nitrogen cycles are an important interface between biotic and abiotic factors


4) They are all biogeochemical cycles.


5) They all involve an interaction between living and nonliving elements.

6)They are all part of the Earth system.
