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

What would happen if there was no sodium potassium pump?
vladimir1956 [14]
The sodium-potassium pump (NaK) is very important for the function of the most cellular process in the body, It's responsible for the movement of the K ions into the cell and the movement of the Na ions outside the cell at the same time.
It's important for excitable cells such as a nerve cell, the pump helps it with transmitting pluses. It also important in controls cardiac contractions and control blood pressure. It plays an important role in maintaining the sodium and potassium balance in the body in the kidneys.So the Cell function will be affected badly if there was no sodium-potassium pump.

A sample of oxygen gas has a volume of 150.0 ml when its pressure is 0.947 atm. what will the volume of the gas be at a pressure
earnstyle [38]
Boyle's law gives the relationship between pressure and volume of gas. It states that for a fixed amount of gas at constant temperature, pressure is inversely proportional to volume of gas. 
PV = k
where P - pressure, V - volume and k - constant 
P1V1 = P2V2 
where parameters for the first instance are on the left side and parameters for the second instance are on the right side of the equation.
substituting the values in the equation
0.947 atm x 150.0 mL = 0.987 atm x V
V = 144 mL
therefore new volume is 144 mL

Why do all atoms of an element have the same atomic number, although they may have different mass numbers?. What do we call atom
3241004551 [841]
The isotopes of an element differ in the number or neutrons whereas the number of protons or electrons of a neutral atom stays the same. The molar mass of the element is based on the percent abundances of different isotopes and the individual molar mass of each isotope.

Which area is MOST likely to support a marsh ecosystem? a sunny, open area with lots of sand dunes a shallow, sheltered area nea
Vedmedyk [2.9K]

Answer:

coastal area with very high tides deep ocean water miles from a river's mouth

Explanation:

Marshes are a type of wetland ecosystem where water covers the ground for long periods of time. Marshes are dominated by herbaceous plants, such as grasses, reeds, and sedges(National Geographic Society).

Animals found in a marsh include;  frogs, toads, turtles, snakes, mammals, birds and insects. A marsh is a wetland that is dominated by herbaceous rather than woody plant species(Wikipedia). It is characterized by very high tides deep ocean water miles from a river's mouth.
