In order to understand what is the limiting reactant is useful to convert the masses of reactants into moles. The molecular masses are:

C_7H_6O_3 = 138\frac{g}{mol}\\ C_4H_6O_3 = 100\frac{g}{mol}

Converting masses into moles:

70\g \C_7H_6O_3\cdot \frac{1\ mol}{138\ g} = 0.5\ mol\ C_7H_6O_3

80\ g\ C_4H_6O_3\cdot \frac{1\ mol}{100\ g} = 0.8\ mol\ C_4H_6O_3

In the reaction, 2 moles of C_7H_6O_3 are necessary to react with 1 mol of C_4H_6O_3. Following this ratio:

0.8\ mol\ C_4H_6O_3\cdot \frac{2\ mol\ C_7H_6O_3}{1\ mol\ C_4H_6O_3} = 1.6\ mol\ C_7H_6O_3

We have only 0.5 mol of C_7H_6O_3, i.e, we don't have enough amount of salicylic acid, therefore, this is the limiting reactant.

nekit [7.7K]
It will cover up all oxygen from the fire. And sand has no natural flammability because it is simply a crushed up mineral, so it can not make the fire any bigger.

Calculate the volume in liters of a ×7.7310−5/mmolL silver(II) oxide solution that contains 475.μmol of silver(II) oxide AgO . R
Serhud [2]

Answer: Thus volume in liters is 6.14\times 10^3L

Explanation:

Molarity is defined as the number of moles of solute dissolved per liter of the solution.

To calculate the number of moles for given molarity, we use the equation:

\text{Molarity of the solution}=\frac{\text{Moles of silver oxide}}{\text{Volume of solution in L}}     .....(1)

Molarity of silver oxide solution = 7.73\times 10^{-5}mmol/L=7.73\times 10^{-2}\mu mol/L      1mmol=1000\mu mol

Moles of silver oxide = 475\mu mol      

Volume of solution in L = ?

Putting values in equation 1, we get:

7.73\times 10^{-2}\mu mol\L=\frac{475\mu mol}{\text{Volume of solution in L}}\\\\\{\text{Volume of solution in L}}=\frac{475\mu mol}{7.73\times 10^{-2}\mu mol\L}=6.14\times 10^3L

Thus volume in liters is 6.14\times 10^{3}L

To prepare a lab solution a chemist dissolves solid potassium chloride in a given
Neporo4naja [7]

The solution could be described like a saturated and concentrated solution.

<h3>Solutions</h3>

Dissolution of solutions can occur in certain ways. These ways depend on the solvent dilution coefficient and the amount of solute.

If the amount of solute is less than the solvent can dissolve, the solution is unsaturated.

If the amount of solute is exactly the same, the solution is saturated.

If the amount is greater, the solution is supersaturated.

So, since the amount of solute is exactly equal to the amount that the solvent can dissolve, the solution is saturated and concentrated.
