Answer:

sodium hydroxide is the limiting reactant

Explanation:

The first step is usually to put down the balanced reaction equation. This is the first thing to do when solving any problem related to stoichiometry. The balanced reaction equation serves as a guide during the solution.

2NBr3 + 3NaOH = N2 + 3NaBr + 3HOBr

Let us pick nitrogen gas as our product of interest. Any of the reactants that gives a lower number of moles of nitrogen gas is the limiting reactant.

For nitrogen tribromide

From the balanced reaction equation;

2 moles of nitrogen tribromide yields 1 mole of nitrogen gas

4.3 moles of nitrogen tribromide will yield 4.3 ×1/ 2 = 2.15 moles of nitrogen gas

For sodium hydroxide;

3 moles of sodium hydroxide yields 1 mole of nitrogen gas

5.9 moles of sodium hydroxide yields 5.9 × 1/ 3= 1.97 moles of nitrogen gas

Therefore, sodium hydroxide is the limiting reactant.

At a temperature of -33.0 degrees C, a sample of confined gas exerts a pressure of 53.3 kPa. If volume remains constant, at what
Rasek [7]

Answer: 598.9K = 325.9°C

Explanation:

P1= 53.3kPa T1= -33+273=240K

P2=133kPa , T2= ?

Applying P1/T1 = P2/T2

Substitute and Simplify

53.3/240 = 133/T2

T2= 598.9K = 325.9°C

A gas sample is found to contain 39.10% carbon, 7.67% hydrogen, 26.11% oxygen, 16.82% phosphorus, and 10.30% fluorine. If the mo
Doss [256]

Answer:

C6H14O3F

Explanation:

The first step is to divide each compound by its molecular weight

Carbon

= 39.10/12

= 3.258

Hydrogen

= 7.67/1

= 7.67

Oxygen

= 26.11/16

= 1.63

Phosphorous

= 16.82/31

= 0.542

Flourine

= 10.30/19

= 0.542

The next step is to divide by the lowes value

3.258/0.542

= 6 mol of C

7.67/0.542

= 14 mol of H

1.63/0.542

= 3 mol of O

0.542/0.542

= 1 mol of P

0.542/0.542

= 1 mol of F

Hence the molecular formula is C6H14O3F

What is the mole fraction of water in pure water
irinina [24]
In pure water, all of the molecules in the liquid are water molecules so the mole fraction is 1 (100 % H2O, 55 mol/L). In sea water, the concentration of water molecules in the solution is less than that of pure water so the vapor pressure of sea water is also lower.

A scientist is conducting a Sanger's sequencing experiment to determine the number of polypeptides present in an oligomeric prot
seropon [69]

Answer:

Depends on molecule.

Explanation:

The number of the polypeptide chains present in the oligomer depends on the molecule. Some molecules have more polypeptide chains whereas some of them have less polypeptide chains. For example, Hemoglobin is a oligomer that consists of four Polypeptide Chains, two of these Polypeptide Chains are α-globin molecules, each comprise of 141 amino acids, and the other two are (β, γ, δ, or ε) globins, each consist of 146 amino acids.

Explain where the water that collects on the outside of a cold drink on a hot day comes from.
krok68 [10]

Answer:

It is because water molecules in the air condensed on to the container of the drink.

Explanation:

The way this works is the water molecules outside are hot and in the gas state, so when they come into contact with the cold side of the container they lose energy due to heat transfer between the molecules and the container, becoming a liquid on the side of the drink.
