Answer:

Hydrosulfuric acid will act as limiting reactant.

Explanation:

Given data:

Mass of iron(III) chloride = 3243.0 g

Mass of hydrosulfuric acid = 511.8 g

Limiting reactant = ?

Solution:

Chemical equation:

2FeCl₃ + 3H₂S       →       Fe₂S₃ + 6HCl

Number of moles of iron(III) chloride:

Number of moles = mass/molar mass

Number of moles = 3243.0 g/ 162.2 g/mol

Number of moles = 20 mol

Number of moles of hydrosulfuric acid:

Number of moles = mass/molar mass

Number of moles = 511.8 g/ 34.1 g/mol

Number of moles = 15 mol

Now we will compare the moles of both reactant with products

                      FeCl₃          :          Fe₂S₃

                       2                :            1

                      20               :          1/2 ×20 = 10

                      FeCl₃          :            HCl

                       2                :              6

                      20               :          6/2 ×20 = 60

                      H₂S             :          Fe₂S₃

                       3                :            1

                      15               :          1/3 ×15 = 5

                      H₂S            :            HCl

                       3                :              6

                      15                :          6/3 ×15 = 30

Hydrosulfuric acid producing less number of moles of product thus, it will act as limiting reactant.

What happens when the concentration of water inside a cell is lower than the concentration of water outside the cell?
adell [148]

Answer:

Water outside the cell will flow inwards by osmosis to attain equilibrium

Explanation:

In the hypotonic environment, the concentration of water is greater outside the cell and the concentration of solute is higher inside. A solution outside of a cell has a lower concentration of solutes relative to the cytosol.

If concentrations of dissolved solutes are greater inside the cell, the concentration of water inside the cell is correspondingly lower. As a result, water outside the cell will flow inwards by osmosis to attain equilibrium.

Osmosis is a process by which molecules of a solvent tend to pass from a less concentrated solution into a more concentrated one through a semipermeable membrane.

When a saturated solution of NH4Br dissolved in 100 grams of water is cooled from 60°C to 30°C, how much NH4Br will precipitate?
stepladder [879]

Answer:

m_{precipitated}=24.8g

Explanation:

Hello,

In this case, since at 60 °C, 108 grams of ammonium bromide are completely dissolved in 100 grams of water for a saturated solution, once it is cooled to 30 °C, wherein only 83.2 grams are completely dissolved in 100 grams of water, the following mass will precipitate:

m_{precipitated}=108g-83.2g\\\\m_{precipitated}=24.8g

Best regards.

If you fill a glass to the brim with ice water and the ice melts, what will happen?
Natalija [7]

Hello There!

When the ice melts, the water level will drop slightly but not much.

REMEMBER Ice expands so when ice melts, it shrinks back to the state of being liquid.
