Answer:

Hydrogen is the excess reactant

Nitrogen is the limiting reactant

151.6g is theoretical yield

Explanation:

The reaction of N₂ with H₂ to produce NH₃ is:

N₂ + 3H₂ → 2NH₃

To find theoretical yield we need to determine limiting reactant with the moles of each gas as follows:

Nitrogen -Molar mass: 28g/mol-

125.0g * (1mol / 28g) = 4.46 moles

Hydrogen -Molar mass: 2g/mol-

125.0g * (1mol / 2g) = 62.5 moles of hydrogen

For a complete reaction of 4.46 moles of N2 there are needed:

4.46 moles N2 * (3moles H2 / 1mol N2) = 13.38 moles of hydrogen

As there are 62.5 moles of hydrogen:

<h3>Hydrogen is the excess reactant</h3><h3>Nitrogen is the limiting reactant</h3><h3 />

With nitrogen, the limiting reactant, we determine theoretical moles (Assuming 100% of the reaction occurs) and theoretical yield (In mass):

4.46 moles N2 * (2moles NH3 / 1mol N2) = 8.92 moles of ammonia

As molar mass of ammonia is 17g/mol:

8.92 moles of ammonia * (17g/mol) =

<h3>151.6g is theoretical yield</h3>

kifflom [539]

Answer:

B. Carry oxygen, nutrients, waste, & to fight pathogens

Explanation:

The circulatory system refers to all organs and tissues involved in carrying blood and lymph around the body.

The circulatory system carries oxygenated blood from the heart to cells and  deoxygenated blood back to the heart.

Nutrients are carried in the blood to cells in different parts of the body and waste products are also carried from cells in the blood.

White blood cells is a component of blood in the circulatory system that fights off diseases.
