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 )

hope this helps!

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.

If a yellow paint is to have 0.511% pbcro4 by mass, how many grams of chromite are needed per kilogram of paint?
Hitman42 [59]

Yellow paint has 0.511 % PbCrO4 by mass

Mass of PbCrO4 in 1 kg of paint = (0.511 / 100) * 1 kg = 0.00511 kg = 5.11 g

Moles of PbCrO4 = 5.11 g/ 323.19 g/mol

                           = 0.0158 moles

Moles of K2CrO4 also = 0.0158 moles

Moles of FeCr2O4 = 0.0158 moles K2CrO4 * (4 mole FeCr2O4 / 8 moles K2CrO4)

                            = 0.0079 moles

Mass of FeCr2O4 (chromite) = 0.0079 moles * 223.83 g/mol

                                            = 1.77 g

Paint is a colored liquid, liquefiable, or solid mastic composition that transforms into a thin solid film after being applied to a substrate. Most commonly used for protection, coloring, or adding texture. Paints come in a variety of colors and can be made in a variety of ways.

Paint consists of pigments, solvents, resins, and various additives. Pigments give the paint its color. Solvents make application easier. The resin helps dry. Additives range from fillers to antifungal agents. There are hundreds of different natural and synthetic pigments.

What hybridization is required for central atoms that have a tetrahedral arrangement of electron pairs? A trigo- nal planar arra
Reika [66]

Answer:

sp³;

sp²;

sp;

None;

One;

Two;

They're used to pi bonds.

Explanation:

The central atom in a molecule is generally the one that can make a greater number of bonds. The covalent bonds are made by the sharing of electrons, and, for that, the electron must be alone in the orbital.

To explain this, the hybridization theory was created, which states that, the orbitals are joined to form hybrids ones, and so, by the Hund's law, the electrons are alone in them.

The sigma bonds are done in the hybrids orbitals, and at the pure orbitals, the pi bonds are done. The lone pair of electrons are at a pure orbital. So, to know the hybridization of the central atom, we must know how many sigma bonds it does, and it will be the number of hybrids orbitals (each orbital may have two electrons, thus each bond are done in one orbital).

Double bonds and triple bonds have always only one sigma bond, so the number of sigma bonds is equal to the number of bonds, it's not necessary to know if they are simple, double or triple.

When the arrangement is tetrahedral, the central atom does 4 bonds, so it has 4 sigma bonds, and 4 hybrids orbitals (one of s and three for p), does its hybridization is sp³. Because exists only 3 p orbitals, there are no unhybridized p orbitals in this case.

When the arrangement is trigonal, the central atom does 3 bonds, so it has 3 hybrids orbitals (one of s and two of p), thus the hybridization is sp². So there are one unhybridized p orbitals.

When the arrangement is linear, the central atom does 2 bonds, so it has 2 hybrids orbitals (one of s and one of p), thus the hybridization is sp. So, there are two unhybridized p atoms.

As stated before, the unhybridized p orbitals are used to pi bonds.
