Identify the limiting reactant in the reaction of hydrogen and ethylene (c2h4) to form c2h6, of 4.40 g of h2 and 10.5 g of c2h4

are combined. Determine the amount (in grams) of excess reactant that remains after the reaction is complete.

<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

Explain how mendal experiments with seed colors disapproved the common belief of blending inheritance
Elan Coil [88]
The theory of blending inheritance was used to describe an actual blending of our alleles, that together would form a new allele. For example, skin color and height would be the result of the blend of the parent's alleles.
This theory doesn't explain why some traits disapear or are discrete.
On the other hand, Mendel's experiments with seed colors explains it. He demonstrated that genes are inherited in pairs and that in hybrid organisms, dominant versions of that gene, could hide the presence of a recessive version of that same gene.
