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

Consider the following reaction:C2H4(g) + F2(g) -----------> C2H4F2(g) Delta H = -549 kJEstimate the carbon-fluorine bond ene

frutty [35]

Answer:

Bond energy of carbon-fluorine bond is 485 kJ/mol

Explanation:

Enthalpy change for a reaction, is given as:

$\Delta H_{rxn}=\sum [n_{i}\times (E_{bond})_{i}]-\sum [n_{j}\times (E_{bond})_{j}]$

Where $(E_{bond})_{i}$ and $(E_{bond})_{j}$ represents average bond energy in breaking "i" th bond and forming "j" th bond respectively. $n_{i}$ and $n_{j}$ are number of moles of bond break and form respectively.

In this reaction, one mol of C=C, four moles of C-H and one mol of F-F bonds are broken. One mol of C-C bond, four moles of C-H bonds and two moles of C-F bonds are formed

So, $-549kJ=(1mol\times 614kJ/mo)+(4mol\times E_{C-H})+(1mol\times 154kJ/mol)-(1mol\times 347kJ/mol)-(4mol\times E_{C-H})-(2mol\times E_{C-F})$

or, $-549kJ=(1mol\times 614kJ/mo)+(1mol\times 154kJ/mol)-(1mol\times 347kJ/mol)-(2mol\times E_{C-F})$

or, $E_{C-F}=485kJ/mol$

So bond energy of carbon-fluorine bond is 485 kJ/mol

Based on the nature of the sub-atomic particles, the correct answers are:

5. No Charge

6. Negative

7. Neutrons and Protons

8. 35 electrons

9. atomic number is 5

10. atomic mass is 11

11. number of protons is 15

12. number of electrons is 20

13. number of neutrons is 30 (55 -25)

14. mass number is 7

15. number of neutrons is 11 (36 - 25)

<h3>What are the sub-atomic particles?</h3>

The sub-atomic particles are the electrons, protons, and neutrons.

The electron is negatively-charged, the proton is positively-charged, whereas, the neutron is neutral and has no charge.

The number of electrons in a neutral atom is equal to the number of protons.

The sum of protons and neutrons gives the mass number of the atom.

Considering the given questions:

5. What type of charge does a neutron have?

Answer = No Charge

6. What type of charge does an electron have?

Answer = Negative

7. Which two subatomic particles are located in the nucleus of an

Answer = Neutrons and Protons

8. If an atom has 35 protons in the nucleus, how many electrons will it have orbiting the nucleus?

Answer = 35 electrons

9. What is the atomic number of the atom in the diagram above?

Answer = atomic number is 5

10. What is the atomic mass/mass number of the atom in the diagram above?

Answer = atomic mass is 11

11. How many protons are in the nucleus of an atom with an atomic number of 15?

Answer = number of protons is 15

12. How many electrons are in the nucleus of an atom with an atomic number of 20?

Answer = number of electrons is 20

13. How many neutrons are in the nucleus of an atom with an atomic number of 25?

Answer = number of neutrons is 30 (55 -25)

14. What is the mass number of an atom with 3 protons, 4 neutrons, and 3 electrons?

Answer = mass number is 7

15. How many neutrons are in the nucleus of an atom that has an atomic mass of 36 and an atomic number of 25?

Answer = number of neutrons is 11 (36 - 25)

In conclusion, the mass number of an atom is the number of protons and neutrons in the nucleus of the an atom.

Which characteristic of water helps it form droplets?

inessss [21]

Answer: C. High surface tension

Explanation:

Water has high specific heat as it require high heat to raise the temperature of 1 g of water through $1^0C$ .

Surface tension is the net downward force acting on the surface of liquids due to the cohesive nature of liquids.

Water molecules are bonded by strong hydrogen bonding between the hydrogen atom and the electronegative oxygen atom making it polar. Thus water molecules present on the surface are strongly attracted by the molecules present below the surface and thus act as a stretched membrane.

The surface acquires a minimum surface are and thus acquire a spherical shape.
