Answer:

\large \boxed{\text{a) HBr; b) K; c) 0.0503 g}}

Explanation:

The limiting reactant is the reactant that gives the smaller amount of product.

Assemble all the data in one place, with molar masses above the formulas and masses below them.

M_r:   39.10    80.41               2.016  

            2K  +  2HBr ⟶ 2KBr + H₂

m/g:     5.5       4.04

a) Limiting reactant

(i) Calculate the moles of each reactant  

\text{Moles of K} = \text{5.5 g} \times \dfrac{\text{1 mol}}{\text{31.10 g}} = \text{0.141 mol K}\\\\\text{Moles of HBr} = \text{4.04 g} \times \dfrac{\text{1 mol}}{\text{80.91 g}} = \text{0.049 93 mol HBr}

(ii) Calculate the moles of H₂ we can obtain from each reactant.

From K:  

The molar ratio of H₂:K is 1:2.

From HBr:  

The molar ratio of H₂:HBr is 3:2.  

\text{Moles of H}_{2} = \text{0.049 93 mol HBr } \times \dfrac{\text{1 mol H}_{2}}{\text{2 mol HBr}} = \text{0.024 97 mol H}_{2}

(iii) Identify the limiting reactant

HBr is the limiting reactant because it gives the smaller amount of NH₃.

b) Excess reactant

The excess reactant is K.

c) Mass of H₂

\text{Mass of H}_{2} = \text{0.024 97 mol H}_{2} \times \dfrac{\text{2.016 g H}_{2}}{\text{1 mol H}_{2}} = \textbf{0.0503 g H}_{2}\\\text{The mass of hydrogen is $\large \boxed{\textbf{0.0503 g}}$}

2. Which is a true statement about a zero net force?
bagirrra123 [75]

Answer: the correct option is A (A zero net force causes no change to an object's

motion.)

Explanation:

Force is a vector quantity that causes an object to accelerate or change velocity when pushed or pulled. While a NET FORCE can be defined as the combination of all forces acting on an object which is equally capable of accelerating the object.

When a NET FORCE is equal to zero( that is zero net force),there will be no change to an object's motion. When the net force of an object is equal to zero , it shows the object is in either static equilibrium( the objects velocity is zero) or dynamic equilibrium(where the object is moving at constant velocity). In both cases, the object remains motionless because the net forces is equal to zero.

When copper crystallizes, it forms face-centered cubic cells. The unit cell edge length is 361.5 pm. Calculate the density of co
Olegator [25]

Density of copper can be calculated using the following formula:

d=\frac{m}{V}

Here, m is mass and V is volume, thus, to calculate density first calculate mass and volume of copper.

In FCC, number of atoms in a unit cell are 4, atomic mass of Cu is 63.546 g/mol and number of atoms in 1 mole is 6.023\times 10^{23}.

Mass of Cu will be:

m=4 atoms\times \frac{1 mol}{6.023\times 10^{23}}\times \frac{63.546 g}{mol}=4.22\times 10^{-22}g

Now, volume can be calculate as:

V=a^{3}

Here, a is edge length.

First convert edge length from pm to cm

1pm=10^{-10}cm

Thus,

361.5 pm=3.615\times 10^{-8}cm

Putting the value,

V=(3.615\times 10^{-8} cm)^{3}=4.72\times 10^{-23} cm^{3}

Now, from mass and volume density can be calculated as follows:

d=\frac{m}{V}=\frac{4.22\times 10^{-22}g}{4.72\times 10^{-23} cm^{3}}=8.932 g/cm^{3}

Therefore, density of copper will be 8.932 g/cm^{3}.
