What is the limiting reagent when a 2.00 g sample of ammonia is mixed with 4.00 g of oxygen?​

Answer:

Ammonia is limiting reactant

Amount of oxygen left  = 0.035 mol

Explanation:

Masa of ammonia = 2.00 g

Mass of oxygen = 4.00 g

Which is limiting reactant = ?

Balance chemical equation:

4NH₃ + 3O₂     →     2N₂ + 6H₂O

Number of moles of ammonia:

Number of moles = mass/molar mass

Number of moles = 2.00 g/ 17 g/mol

Number of moles = 0.12 mol

Number of moles of oxygen:

Number of moles = mass/molar mass

Number of moles = 4.00 g/ 32 g/mol

Number of moles = 0.125 mol

Now we will compare the moles of ammonia and oxygen with water and nitrogen.

                      NH₃          :            N₂

                        4             :             2

                      0.12           :           2/4×0.12 = 0.06

                      NH₃         :            H₂O

                        4            :             6

                        0.12       :           6/4×0.12 = 0.18

                       

                       O₂            :            N₂

                        3             :             2

                      0.125        :           2/3×0.125 = 0.08

                        O₂           :            H₂O

                        3              :             6

                        0.125       :           6/3×0.125 = 0.25

The number of moles of water and nitrogen formed by ammonia are less thus ammonia will be limiting reactant.

Amount of oxygen left:

                        NH₃          :             O₂

                           4            :              3

                           0.12       :          3/4×0.12= 0.09

Amount of oxygen react = 0.09 mol

Amount of oxygen left  = 0.125 - 0.09 = 0.035 mol

The 54.9-g sample of the compound X2O7 contains 33.6 g of oxygen atoms. What is the molar mass of element X?
vazorg [7]
Mass of X₂O₇ = 54,9g

2x + 33,6g = 54,9g
2x = 54,9g - 33,6g
2x = 21,3g  | :2
x = 10,65g/mol

pickupchik [31]

Answer

B. acid + base --> salt + water

Explanation

Acids are substances that dissolve in water to produce hydrogen ions, H+.A base is a substance that dissolves in water to produce hydroxide ions, OH-.In a chemical reaction of an acid and a base, the products are a salt and water.For example when hydrocholoric acid is added to sodium hydroxide, a salt namely sodium chloride is formed with additional water.

Why do we not know yet if we live in multiverse
kherson [118]

The people of he world believe and they don't believe.

I,myself, think we do land don't live in multiverse.

Why: Because in science I hear that there are many universes out there that need to b explored.

Not: Because if we did, don't you think that Astronauts and the U.S. would try and find different universes.

I hope I helped you!:)
