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.

Explain in a short sentence how you can tell if a reaction is a double replacement<br> reaction.
Monica [59]

Explanation:

In a double displacement reaction, there is an actual exchange of partners to form new compounds.

The reaction is given as shown below:

         AB + CD →  AD + CB

One of the following conditions serves as the driving force for a double replacement reaction:

  • Formation of an insoluble compound or precipitate
  • Formation of water or any other non-ionizing compound
  • Liberation of a gaseous product.

highlight why it is important to evaluate important assessment studies before any development could be made on the environment​
Kay [80]

Answer:

Essentially, an EIA is designed to identify the potential risks of a project (e.g., infrastructure development such as a dam) to environmental and human well-being and identify measures to eliminate and/or mitigate these risks. This can be done by replacing and/or modifying planned activities to reduce impacts

How is a weak acid DIFFERENT from a dilute acid?
telo118 [61]
In a dilute acid solution most if not all of the molecules will split into ions.
For example HCl is a strong acid and 100% of the molecules will split into
H+ & Cl-

in a weak acid solution only a portion of the molecules will turn into ions because the ionization percentage isn't as large. Which will essentially leave a high percentage of un-reacted molecules
