Two moles of magnesium (Mg) and five moles of oxygen (O2) are placed in a reaction vessel. When magnesium is ignited, it reacts with oxygen. What is the limiting reactant in this experiment?

Mg + O2 → MgO (unbalanced)

first, balance the equation

2Mg +O2-------> 2MgO

two magnesium atoms react with one diatomic oxygen molecule

there is a 1:1 ratio of magnesium to oxygen atoms

but we have 2 moles of magnesium atoms and 2X5 = 10 moles of oxygen atoms

the lesser magnesium LIMITS the amount of product we can make, so it is the LIMITING REAGENT.

What do genotype will appear in boxes 2 and 3?

VMariaS [17]

Tt is the genotype that will appear in boxes two and three.

If you look at the column and row that intersect to form boxes two and three, you will see that they are T and t. That is the best way I can describe it, sorry if it’s confusing.

For the reaction below, initially the partial pressure of all 3 gases is 1.0atm. . 2NH3(g)--> N2(g) + 3H2(g) K, 0.83 1. When

erma4kov [3.2K]

Answer:

The reaction would shift toward the reactants

When the reaction reach equilibrium the partial pressure of NH3 will be greater than 1atm

Explanation:

For the reaction:

2NH₃(g) ⇄ N₂(g) + 3H₂(g)

Where K is defined as:

$K = \frac{P_{N_{2}}*P_{H_2}^3}{P_{NH_3}^2} = 0.83$

As initial pressures of all 3 gases is 1.0atm, reaction quotient, Q, is:

$Q = \frac{1atm*{1atm}^3}{1atm^2} = 1$

As Q > K, <em>the reaction will produce more NH₃ until Q = K consuming N₂ and H₂.</em>

Thus, there are true:

<h3>The reaction would shift toward the reactants</h3><h3>When the reaction reach equilibrium the partial pressure of NH3 will be greater than 1atm</h3>
