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

Of the different states of matter listed below, which is typically the most dense?
stiv31 [10]
The correct answer is option B. The most dense phase of matter is the solid phase and the least dense are gases. However, there is an exception. Water is the exception. Solid water or ice is less dense than the liquid phase therefore it floats on liquid water.

Copper metal (Cu) reacts with silver nitrate (AgNO3) in aqueous solution to form Ag and Cu(NO3)2. An excess of AgNO3 is present.
leonid [27]
Stoichiometry time! Remember to look at the equation for your molar ratios in other problems.

31.75 g Cu | 1 mol Cu | 2 mol Ag | 107.9 g Ag         6851.65
⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻   →   ⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻  = 107.9 g Ag
       ∅        | 63.5 g Cu | 1 mol Cu | 1 mol Ag              63.5


There's also a shorter way to do this: Notice the molar ratio from Cu to Ag, which is 1:2. When you plug in 31.75 into your molar mass for Cu, it equals 1/2 mol. That also means that you have 1 mol Ag because of the ratio, qhich you can then plug into your molar mass, getting 107.9 as well.

An aluminum block has a density of 2.70 g/mL. If the mass of the block is 24.60 g, find the volume of the substance.
harina [27]

Volume of a substance can be determined by dividing mass of the substance by its density.

That can be mathematical shown as:

Density=Mass/Volume

So, Volume=Mass/Density

Here mass of the substance given as 24.60 g

Whereas density of the substance is 2.70 g/mL

So,

Volume=Mass/Density

=24.6/2.7

=9.1 mL

So volume of the substance is 9.1 mL.
