Consider the reaction 2Al + 6HBr → 2AlBr3 + 3H2. If 8 moles of Al react with 8 moles of HBr, what is the limiting reactant?

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.

Yes, because a mixture is 2 or more substances that are mixed together (not chemically). A mixture could be two different elements physically combined in a set ratio.

Which property is characteristic of ionic but not of covalent compounds? 1. low boiling point 2. non-conductor of electricity in
otez555 [7]
Ionic and covalent bonds are both strong intermolecular forces. They are generally both crystalline in structure. But relatively speaking, ionic bonds are much stronger. As a consequence, they have inherent properties of higher boiling points, higher melting points, lower volatility, etc. Also, ionic bonds display conductive properties because they are strong electrolytes. <em>Thus, the answer is 5) higher melting points.</em>

In which sample of water do the water particles have more energy: 5 grams of ice cubes at -10 degrees Celsius or 5 grams of liqu
Ivenika [448]
Higher temperature = higher energy. In water it is a liquid as the particles have more energy so vibrate and are further away from each other.
