Suppose 2.8 moles of methane are allowed to react with 5 moles of oxygen.

Chemistry
1 answer:
Ronch [10]3 years ago
8 0

Answer : The limiting reagent is O_2

Solution : Given,

Moles of methane = 2.8 moles

Moles of O_2 = 5 moles

Now we have to calculate the limiting and excess reagent.

The balanced chemical reaction is,

CH_4+2O_2\rightarrow CO_2+2H_2O

From the balanced reaction we conclude that

As, 2 mole of O_2 react with 1 mole of CH_4

So, 5 moles of O_2 react with \frac{5}{2}=2.5 moles of CH_4

From this we conclude that, CH_4 is an excess reagent because the given moles are greater than the required moles and O_2 is a limiting reagent and it limits the formation of product.

Hence, the limiting reagent is O_2

Which statement defines dynamic equilibrium? (5 points)
Shalnov [3]

Answer:

1. A state of balance in which the rates of the forward and reverse reactions are equal.

Explanation:

A dynamic equilibrium is like a cycle, the reactants change to products, but the products also change to reactants keeping the amount of each constant.

2. A state of balance in which the forward reaction stops but reverse reaction continues.

In this statement there isnt a equilibrium. The products will change to reactants until the reaction stops.

3. A state of balance in which the forward reaction continues but reverse reaction stops.

Here the reactants will change to products until the reaction stops.

4. A state of balance in which the forward and reverse reactions stop.

In this case the reaction has stopped.

ANEK [815]

Answer:

A- Physical, B- Chemical, C- chemical, D- Physical

Explanation:

A is physical because you can see it changing its form is changing.

B is Chemical because a new substance is formed creating the orange color of rust.

C is a Chemical reaction because it is being broken down so the banana itself is changing not just how we see it.

D is physical because we are just changing the shape/ size of the item, not anything to do with its substances.
