Answer:- HBr is limiting reactant.

Solution:- The given balanced equation is:

$2Al+6HBr\rightarrow 2AlBr_3+3H_2$

From this equation, There is 2:6 mol or 1:3 mol ratio between Al and HBr. Since we have 8 moles of each, HBr is the limiting reactant as we need 3 moles of HBr for each mol of Al.

The calculations could be shown as:

$8molAl(\frac{6molHBr}{2molAl})$

= 24 mol HBr

From calculations, 24 moles of HBr are required to react completely with 8 moles of Al but only 8 moles of it are available. It clearly indicates, HBr is limiting reactant.

Question 7-Which of the following is not an acid-base neutralization reaction?

docker41 [41]

Answer:- It is choice D. $H_2SO_4+2NaCl\rightarrow 2HCl+Na_2SO_4$

Explanations:- In general, a neutralization reaction is the reaction of an acid with base to form salt and water.

in first reaction the reaction is taking place between ammonia(a base) and hydrochloric acid(an acid) to form their salt(ammonium chloride). So, it is an acid-base neutralization reaction.

In second reaction, sodium hydroxide(a base) is reacting with acetic acid(an acid) to form their salt(sodium acetate) and water. So, it is an acid-base neutralization reaction.

In third reaction, Nitric acid is reacting with calcium hydroxide(a base) to form a salt(calcium nitrate) and water. So, it is an acid-base neutralization reaction.

In fourth reaction, sulfuruc acid is reacting a sodium chloride(a salt) to give a double replacement reaction. It is not an acid-base neutralization reaction as it's not taking place between an acid and base.

So, the correct choice is D. $H_2SO_4+2NaCl\rightarrow 2HCl+Na_2SO_4$

Rank the compounds in each set in order of increasing acid strength.

Viktor [21]

Answer:

See explanation

Explanation:

For this question, we have to remember the effect of an atom with high electronegativity as "Br". If the "Br" atom is closer to the carboxylic acid group (COOH) we will have an inductive effect. Due to the electronegativity of Br, the electrons of the C-H bond would be to the Br, then this bond would be weaker and the compound will be more acid (because is easier to produce the hydronium ion $H^+$ ).

With this in mind, for A in the last compound, we have 2 Br atoms near to the acid carboxylic group, so, we will have a high inductive effect, then the C-H would be weaker and we will have more acidity. Then we will have the compound with only 1 Br atom and finally, the last compound would be the one without Br atoms.

In B, the difference between the molecules is the position of the "Br" atom in the molecule. If the Br atom is closer to the acid group we will have a higher inductive effect and more acidity.

See figure 1

I hope it helps!
