<u> Definition</u> :   Limiting reagent is the substance in a chemical reaction that is consumed when chemical reaction is complete.

step 1 :  first write the chemical reaction and then balanced the chemical equation

C_{2}H_{4} + H_{2} \rightarrow C_{2}H_{6}

step 2 :  convert given masses into moles.


\text{ moles of } C_{2}H_{4}=10.5 (g)/ 28 (\text{ g/mole)} = 0.375 \text{ moles}

\text{moles of }H_{2}= 0.40 (g)/ 2 (g/mole) = 0.20 moles

step 3 :  Now find the limiting reagent.

\text{ moles of }C_{2}H_{4} \text{ in excess}= 0.375-0.20 = 0.175 \text{moles}

Now we conclude that  C_{2}H_{4} is the limiting reagent.

step 4 :  Amount of the excess reactant i.e C_{2}H_{4}

\text{ mass of }C_{2}H_{4}= 0.175 (moles) \ast 28 (g/mole) = 4.9 g

In the equation:
Ksenya-84 [330]

Answer:

B) 16 g

Explanation:

  • 2H₂ + O₂ → 2H₂O

First we <u>convert 4 moles of O₂ into moles of H₂</u>, using the <em>stoichiometric coefficients of the balanced reaction</em>:

  • 4 mol O₂ * \frac{2molH_2}{1molO_2} = 8 mol H₂

Finally we <u>convert 8 moles of H₂ into grams</u>, using <em>its molar mass</em>:

  • 8 mol H₂ * 2 g/mol = 16 g

Thus, the correct answer is option B).

What observation did Rutherford make from his gold-foil experiment which
JulsSmile [24]

Answer:

A piece of gold foil was hit with alpha particles, which have a positive charge. Most alpha particles went right through. This showed that the gold atoms were mostly empty space. Some particles had their paths bent at large angles. A few even bounced backward. The only way this would happen was if the atom had a small, heavy region of positive charge inside it.

A local plant nursery uses large sprinklers to water the plants twice a day. the water contains phosphorus, which is a fertilize
Mumz [18]

Eutrophication

In an aged aquatic habitat like a lake, eutrophication is the progressive rise in the concentration of phosphorus, nitrogen, and other plant nutrients. As the volume of organic matter that can be converted into nutrients increases, the productivity or fertility of such an ecosystem also naturally rises.

<h3>What is Eutrophication ?</h3>

Eutrophication may be caused by a number of things, including overuse of fertilisers, untreated sewage, the use of phosphorous-containing detergents, and industrial waste discharge.

  • Eutrophication naturally. Natural eutrophication is a process that develops in water resources over a very long period of time as a result of a slow buildup of nutrients and organic waste. Anthropogenic or cultural eutrophication.

Name the plant cell organelle where<br> photosynthesis occurs.
Alexeev081 [22]

Answer:

chloroplast organelle

Answer. The photosynthesis process takes place in the chloroplast organelle in the growing tissues. As the chlorophyll pigment is available in the chloroplast organelle which is the main photosynthetic pigment, with the help of the molecules they capture the energy of light.

Explanation:

chloroplasts

In plants, photosynthesis takes place in chloroplasts, which contain the chlorophyll. Chloroplasts are surrounded by a double membrane and contain a third inner membrane, called the thylakoid membrane, that forms long folds within the organelle.
