K = 39 g/mol
KNO3 = 101 g/mol

2 KNO3 + 10 K = 6 K2O + N2

2 x 101 g KNO3 ---------- 10 x 39 g K
122 g KNO3 -------------- ??

122 x 10 x 39 / 2 x 101 =

47580 / 202 => 235.54 g  of K

 ( KNO3 is Excess reagent ) 

2 x 101 g KNO3 ---------- 10 x 39 g K
??  --------------------------- 155 g K

155 x 2 x 101 / 10 x 39 =

31310 / 390 => 80.28 g of KNO3   ( K is <span>limiting reagent )

Answer : The limiting reagent is, potassium

Explanation : Given,

Mass of potassium = 155 g

Mass of potassium nitrate = 122 g

Molar mass of potassium = 39 g/mole

Molar mass of potassium nitrate = 101 g/mole

First we have to calculate the moles of K and KNO_3.

\text{Moles of }K=\frac{\text{Mass of }K}{\text{Molar mass of }K}=\frac{155g}{39g/mole}=3.97moles

\text{Moles of }KNO_3=\frac{\text{Mass of }KNO_3}{\text{Molar mass of }KNO_3}=\frac{122g}{101g/mole}=1.21moles

Now we have to calculate the limiting and excess reagent.

The balanced chemical reaction is,

2KNO_3+10K\rightarrow 6K_2O+N_2

From the balanced reaction we conclude that

As, 2 moles of KNO_3 react with 10 mole of K

So, 1.21 moles of KNO_3 react with \frac{10}{2}\times 1.21=6.05 moles of K

That means, in the given balanced reaction, K is a limiting reagent because it limits the formation of products and KNO_3 is an excess reagent.

Hence, the potassium is the limiting reagent.

For question numbers 1 and 2, two statements are given - one labelled
Svetllana [295]

Answer:

(iv) (A) is false, but (R) is true.

Explanation:

It is not true that carbon has a strong tendency to either lose or gain electrons to attain noble gas configuration. Carbon is a member of group 14, it is the first member of the group and carbon is purely a non metal. Only metals metals can loose electrons to attain the noble gas configuration. Moreover, carbon does not participate in ionic bonding so it does not gain electrons to attain the noble gas configuration.

However, carbon participates in covalent bonding where it is covalently bonded to four other chemical species using its four outermost electrons. Carbon forms covalent bonds in which four electrons are shared with other chemical species.

The air inside a hot-air balloon is heated to 59.00 °C (Tinitial) and then cools to 39.00 °C (Tfinal). By what percentage does t
Mama L [17]

Answer:

6.1%

Explanation:

Assuming pressure inside balloon remains constant during the temperature change.

Therefore, as per Charles' law  at constant pressure,

\frac{V_1}{T_1} =\frac{V_2}{T_2}

T_2=39\°\ C=39+273=312\ K

T_1=59°\ C=273+59=332\ K

V_2=V_1\times \frac{T_2}{T_1} \\=V_1\times\frac{312}{332}\\=0.939V_1

Percentage change in volume

\%\ change\ in\ volume=\frac{V_1-0.939V_1}{V_1} \times 100\\=6.1\%

Change in volume of the balloon is 6.1%

How many moles of carbon dioxide are produced when 23.0 g of C3H2O3 is burned during the
Mars2501 [29]

Moles of Carbon dioxide : 0.75

<h3>Further explanation</h3>

Given

23 g C₃H₈O₃

Required

Moles of Carbon dioxide

Solution

Reaction

2C₃H₈O₃ + 7O₂ → 6CO₂ + 8H₂O

mol C₃H₈O₃ :

= mass : MW

= 23 g : 92,09382 g/mol

= 0.24975

From the equation, mol ratio of C₃H₈O₃ : 3CO₂ = 1 : 3, so mol CO₂ :

= 3/1 x mol C₃H₈O₃

= 3/1 x 0.24975

= 0.74925≈0.750 mol
