Answer: Bromine is the limiting reactant

Explanation:

First of all let's generate a balanced equation for the reaction

2Li + Br2 —> 2LiBr

Molar Mass of Li = 7g/mol

Molar Mass of Br2 = 2x80 = 160g/mol

From the question given, were told that 25g of Li and 25g Br2 were present at the take-off of the reaction. Converting these Masses to mole, we have:

Number of mole of Li = 25/7 = 3.6moles

Number of mole of Br2 = 25/160 = 0.156mol.

To know which is the limiting reactant, we have to compare the ratio of the number of mole of experimental Li and Br2 to that of theoretical Li and Br2

For the experimental yield:

Li : Br2 = 3.6/ 0.156 = 23 : 1

For the theoretical yield:

Li : Br = 2 : 1

From the above, we see clear that Br2 is the limiting reactant because according to the equation( which gives the theoretical yield), for every 2moles of Li, 1mole of Br2 is used up. But this is not so from the experiment conducted as 23moles required 1mole of Br2.

Describe how you would prepare 350 ml of 0.100 m c12h22o11 starting with 3.00l of 1.50 m c12h22o11
Leona [35]

To prepare 350 mL of 0.100 M solution from a 1.50 M solution, we simply have to use the formula:

M1 V1 = M2 V2

So from the formula, we will know how much volume of the 1.50 M we actually need.

 

1.50 M * V1 = 0.100 M * 350 mL

V1 = 23.33 mL

 

So we need 23.33 mL of the 1.50 M solution. We dilute it with water to a volume of 350 mL. So water needed is:

350 mL – 23.33 mL = 326.67 mL water

 

 

Steps:

1. Take 23.33 mL of 1.50 M solution

<span>2. Add 326.67 mL of water to make 350 mL of 0.100 M solution</span>

How many individual orbitals does carbon use for all of its electrons? Remember, there are two electrons in each filled orbital
Andreas93 [3]

Answer:

Three orbitals

Explanation:

The electronic configuration of carbon is given as follows;

1s²2s²2p²

Therefore, out of the six electrons of the carbon atoms, 4 fill the 1s and 2s orbitals with 2 electrons each, while the two remaining electrons are situated in the 2p orbital, with the electrons in the 2p orbital will remain unpaired such that they will have similar quantum numbers in accordance with Pauli exclusion principle.
