Answer:

A reactive metal has the ability to easily lose an electron and acquire a positive charge. Sodium easily loses electrons and acquires a positive charge. Sodium easily lose electrons than magnesium and get oxidized to easily.

Which of the following natural resources cant be reused

ohaa [14]

Hi there! Air and sunlight can definitely be reused. Those are abundant and renewable resources. Therefore, A and D are eliminated. There is a limited amount of water, however, it's impossible to run out of it to the point that there's no more on Earth. C is out. The only answer choice that makes sense is coal, because it's a nonrenewable resource, and it takes millions of years to make more of. It's a fossil fuel, so once we use them up, we can't get anymore during our lives. The answer is B: coal.

1.) The process for converting ammonia to nitric acid involves the conversion of NH3 to

Firdavs [7]

Answer:

a) 1.39 g ; b) O₂ is limiting reactant, NH₃ is excess reactant; c) 0.7 g

Explanation:

We have the masses of two reactants, so this is a limiting reactant problem.

We will need a balanced equation with masses, moles, and molar masses of the compounds involved.

1. Gather all the information in one place with molar masses above the formulas and masses below them.

MM: 17.03 32.00 30.01

4NH₃ + 5O₂ ⟶ 4NO + 6H₂O

Mass/g: 1.5 1.85

2. Calculate the moles of each reactant

$\text{moles of NH}_{3} = \text{1.5 g NH}_{3} \times \dfrac{\text{1 mol NH}_{3}}{\text{17.03 g NH}_{3}} = \text{0.0881 mol NH}_{3}\\\\\text{moles of O}_{2} = \text{1.85 g O}_{2} \times \dfrac{\text{1 mol O}_{2}}{\text{32.00 g O}_{2}} = \text{0.057 81 mol O}_{2}$
