In easy words the connection between Reactants, Products and Limiting reactants is as follow,

Reactants and Products:
                                       Reactants are the starting materials for the synthesis of final synthesized materials called as products.

Example:
                 CH₄  +  2 O₂     →      CO₂  +  2 H₂O

In above reaction Methane (CH₄) and Oxygen (O₂) are the reactants while, CO₂ and H₂O are the products.

Reactants, Products and Limiting Reactants:
                                                                       Considering the same example it is seen that for one mole of CO₂ two moles of O₂ are required to completely convert into CO₂ and H₂O. If either of the reactant is taken less than the required amount then it will act as a limiting reactant because it will consume first leaving the second reactant present in excess as compare to it. Hence, we can say that the limiting reactant is the starting material which controls the amount of product being formed.

You find a compound composed only of element X and chlorine and you know that the compound is 13.10% X by mass. Each molecule of
8_murik_8 [283]

Answer:

Explanation:

So, the formula for the compound should be:

XCl_{6}

Now we assume that we have 1 mol of substance, so we can make calculations to know the molar mass of element X, as follows:

M_{Cl}=35.45g/mol\\

So we have that 6 moles weight 212.7g, and we can make a rule of three to know the weight of compound X:

212.7g\rightarrow 86.9\%\\x\rightarrow 13.1\%\\\\x=\frac{212.7g*13.1}{86.9} =32.06g

As we used 1 mol, we know that the molar mass is 32.06g/mol

So the element has a molar mass of 32.06 g/mol and an oxidation state of +6, with this information, we can assure that the element X is sulfur, so the compound is SCl_{6}

A chunk of copper has a volume of 1.45 mL and a mass of 12.93 grams. What is the density of the chunk of copper?
natta225 [31]

Answer:

Density = 8.92 \ g/mL

Explanation:

The equation for density is:

Density = \frac{mass}{volume}

We plug in the given values:

Density = \frac{12.93 \ g}{1.45 \ mL}

Density = 8.92 \ g/mL
