Answer:

oxygen is limiting reactant

Explanation:

Given data:

Mass of hydrogen = 16.7 g

Mass of oxygen = 15.4 g

Limiting reactant = ?

Solution:

Chemical equation:

2H₂ + O₂   →   2H₂O

Number of moles of hydrogen:

Number of moles = mass/ molar mass

Number of moles = 16.7 g/ 2 g/mol

Number of moles = 8.35 mol

Number of moles of oxygen:

Number of moles = mass/ molar mass

Number of moles = 15.4 g/ 32 g/mol

Number of moles = 0.48 mol

Now we will compare the moles of both reactant with product,

                 

                             H₂           :          H₂O

                              2            :            2

                             8.35        :            8.35

                             O₂           :          H₂O

                               1            :            2

                             0.48        :        2×0.48 = 0.96 mol

The number of moles of water produced by oxygen are less so it will limiting reactant.

Why is the temperature of products likely to be lower than the temperature of reactants in an endothermic reaction?​
laiz [17]
Reactants + Energy → Products. Note: ΔH represents the change in energy. In endothermic reactions, the temperature of the products is typically lower than the temperature of the reactants. ... The energy needed for the reaction to take place comes from the water, which gets colder as the reaction proceeds.

Where does a wolf get energy from?
Setler79 [48]

Answer:

Check Explanation

Explanation:

In this case the Mushroom would get energy from decomposing dead plants and animals in the soil/ground

The plant would get energy from the sun (simplified)

the rabbit would get energy from eating the plant

in this case the wolf would energy from eating the rabbit but in a normal setting the wolf could get energy from eating any animal
