Answer : The limiting reagent is O_2.

Solution : Given,

Mass of NH_3 = 4.0 g

Mass of O_2 = 8.0 g

Molar mass of NH_3 = 17 g/mole

Molar mass of O_2 = 32 g/mole

First we have to calculate the moles of NH_3 and O_2.

\text{ Moles of }NH_3=\frac{\text{ Mass of }NH_3}{\text{ Molar mass of }NH_3}=\frac{4.0g}{17g/mole}=0.24moles

\text{ Moles of }O_2=\frac{\text{ Mass of }O_2}{\text{ Molar mass of }O_2}=\frac{8.0g}{32g/mole}=0.25moles

Now we have to calculate the limiting and excess reagent.

The balanced chemical reaction is,

4NH_3+5O_2\rightarrow 4NO+6H_2O

From the balanced reaction we conclude that

As, 5 mole of O_2 react with 4 mole of NH_3

So, 0.25 moles of O_2 react with \frac{0.25}{5}\times 4=0.20 moles of NH_3

From this we conclude that, NH_3 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.

Hence, the limiting reagent is O_2.

My Everest is the highest mountain on earth.its height is 8.848 km. Convert this height to feet. Write your answer in standard n
Vinvika [58]

Answer: 2.9(10)^{7} ft

Explanation:

Firstly we need to know that 1 km=3280.84 ft, then we cam make the conversion:

8848 km \frac{3280.84 ft}{1 km}=29,028,872.32 ft This is the height of Mount Everest in feet

However, we can express it using scientific notation by counting to the left the decimal spaces:

29,028,872.32 ft \approx 2.9(10)^{7} ft

Sergio039 [100]

Answer:

The formula of Al³⁺ and SO₄²⁻ is aluminum sulfate.

Explanation:

The formula for aluminum sulfate is Al₂(SO₄)₃. If we say in terms of ions. The ions are Al³⁺. It is a positive ion or the cation. Other ion is SO₄²⁻. It is sulfate ion. It is anion.

Aluminum sulphate is used in water purification and as a mordant in dyeing and printing textiles.

Hence, the formula of Al³⁺ and SO₄²⁻ is aluminum sulfate.

How many Grams of NO is produced if 12g of O2 is combined with excess ammonia?
stich3 [128]

Answer:

9g

Explanation:

moles O2 = mass / Mr = 12 / 2(16.0) = 0.375

ratio O2 : NO = 5:4

moles NO produced = 0.375 * 4/5 = 0.3

mass NO = Mr * mol = (14.0+16.0) * 0.3 = 9g
