Moles of nitrogen = 49.84 / 28 = 1.78
Moles of hydrogen = 10.7 / 2 = 5.35

Molar ratio of nitrogen to hydrogen = 1 : 3
Hydrogen required = 1.78 x 3 = 5.34

Therefore, hydrogen is in excess and nitrogen is the limiting reagent.

<u>Answer:</u> The limiting reagent for the given chemical reaction is hydrogen.

<u>Explanation:</u>

To calculate the number of moles, we use the equation:

\text{Number of moles}=\frac{\text{Given mass}}{\text{Molar mass}}   .....(1)

  • <u>For Nitrogen:</u>

Given mass of nitrogen = 49.84 g

Molar mass of nitrogen = 28 g/mol

Putting values in above equation, we get:

\text{Moles of nitrogen}=\frac{49.84g}{28.0134g/mol}=1.78mol

  • <u>For Hydrogen:</u>

Given mass of hydrogen = 10.7 g

Molar mass of hydrogen = 2 g/mol

Putting values in above equation, we get:

\text{Moles of hydrogen}=\frac{10.7g}{2.01g/mol}=5.32mol

For the given chemical reaction:

N_2(g)+3H_2(g)\rightarrow 2NH_3(g)

By Stoichiometry of the reaction:

3 moles of hydrogen reacts with 1 mole of nitrogen.

So, 5.32 moles of hydrogen reacts with = \frac{1}{3}\times 5.32=1.77moles of nitrogen.

As, the given amount of nitrogen is more than the required amount, so it is considered as an excess reagent.

Thus, hydrogen is considered as an limiting reagent because it limits the formation of products.

Hence, the limiting reagent for the given chemical reaction is hydrogen.

Answer:

6.50 g of Hydrogen

Explanation:

We know that in every 20.0g of sucrose, there are 1.30g of hydrogen.

We now have 100.0g of sucrose. 100.0g is 5x larger than the 20.0g sample, which is a 5 : 1 ratio. Applying this ratio to the amount of hydrogen, we would have 5*1.3g of hydrogen in the 100.0g of sucrose.

5*1.3 = 6.5, so our answer is that there are 6.50g of hydrogen in 100.0g of sucrose.

Hope this helps!

A sample of an unknown gas occupies 5.51 L at 1.31 atm. What pressure would thisgas exert in a 0.520 L container if the temperat
weeeeeb [17]

Answer:

P₂ = 13.9 atm (3 sig. figs.)

Explanation:

The pressure (P), Volume (V) relationship with Temperature (T) & mass (n) held constant is an inverse proportionality. That is Boyles Law ...

P ∝ 1/V => P = k/V => k = P·V

For two pressure-volume conditions, the proportionality constant (k) remains constant where k₁ = k₂ and P₁·V₁ = P₂·V₂ => P₂ = P₁·V₁/V₂

Given:

P₁ = 1.31 atm.

V₁ = 5.51 L

P₂ = ?

V₂ = 0.520 L

V₂ = (1.31 atm)(5.51L)/(0.520L) = 13.88096154 atm (calc. ans.) = 13.9 atm (3 sig. figs.)

<span>As we know that
1 cu cm H2O = 1 mL H2O = 1g H2O 
now

Heat of fusion of water = 79.8 cal/g 
and

Heat of vaporization of water = 540 cal/g 

Atomic weight of water : H=1 O=16 H2O=18 
now by calculating and putting values

65.5gH2O x 79.8cal/gH2O x 1gH2O/540cal = 9.68g H2O (steam)

2NO + 3MnO2 + 4H â 2NO3- + 3Mn2 + 2H2O For the above redox reaction, assign oxidation numbers and use them to identify the eleme
mixer [17]

Answer:

Manganese decreases from 4+ to 2+ (reduced and oxidizing agent) and nitrogen increases from 2+ to 5+ (oxidized and reducing agent).

Explanation:

Hello there!

In this case, according to the given redox reaction, we rewrite it as a convenient first step:

2NO + 3MnO_2 + 4H^+ \rightarrow 2NO_3^- + 3Mn^{2+} + 2H_2O

Next, we assign the oxidation numbers as follows:

2N^{2+}O^{2-} + 3Mn^{4+}O^{-2}_2 + 4H^+ \rightarrow 2(N^{5+}O^{2-}_3)^- + 3Mn^{2+} + 2H^+_2O^{2-}

Thus, we can see that both manganese and nitrogen undergo a change in their oxidation number, the former decreases from 4+ to 2+ (reduced and oxidizing agent) and the latter increases from 2+ to 5+ (oxidized and reducing agent).

Regards!
