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

You have 50 ml of a complex mixture of weak acids that contains some HF (pKa = 3.18) and some HCN (pKa = 9.21). Which is larger,

bonufazy [111]

Answer:

$\frac{[F^{-}]}{[HF]}$ is larger

Explanation:

$pK_{a}=-logK_{a}$ , where $K_{a}$ is the acid dissociation constant.

For a monoprotic acid e.g. HA, $K_{a}=\frac{[H^{+}][A^{-}]}{[HA]}$ and $\frac{[A^{-}]}{[HA]}=\frac{K_{a}}{[H^{+}]}$

So, clearly, higher the $K_{a}$ value , lower will the the $pK_{a}$

In this mixture, at equilibrium, $[H^{+}]$ will be constant.

$K_{a}$ of HF is grater than $K_{a}$ of HCN

Hence, $(\frac{F^{-}}{[HF]}=\frac{K_{a}(HF)}{[H^{+}]})>(\frac{CN^{-}}{[HCN]}=\frac{K_{a}(HCN)}{[H^{+}]})$

So, $\frac{[F^{-}]}{[HF]}$ is larger

What's the easiest way to find balance in a chemical equation?

ivann1987 [24]

Well not calculus because that has nothing, well mostly nothing to do with balancing chemical equation, so B or C. Now for me personally B is way faster, though C is sometimes faster if you get lucky the way to solve it is B

Write a net ionic equation to show that benzoic acid, C6H5COOH, behaves as a Brønsted-Lowry acid in water.

Nitella [24]

Answer:

H⁺(aq) + H₂O(l) ⇄ H₃O⁺(aq)

Explanation:

According to Brönsted-Lowry acid-base theory, an acid is a substance that donates H⁺. Let's consider the molecular equation showing that benzoic acid is a Brönsted-Lowry acid.

C₆H₅COOH(aq) + H₂O(l) ⇄ C₆H₅COO⁻(aq) + H₃O⁺(aq)

The complete ionic equation includes all the ions and molecular species.

C₆H₅COO⁻(aq) + H⁺(aq) + H₂O(l) ⇄ C₆H₅COO⁻(aq) + H₃O⁺(aq)

The net ionic equation includes only the ions that participate in the reaction and the molecular species.

H⁺(aq) + H₂O(l) ⇄ H₃O⁺(aq)
