What is the limiting reactant in a reaction where 10.0 mol of iron is treated with 12.0 mol of bromine? The product that forms i

s FeBr3. First, write and balance the chemical equation. Next, calculate the moles of FeBr3 that can be made from 10.0 mol of Fe. Then calculate the moles of FeBr3 that can be made from 12.0 mol of bromine. The smaller amount of FeBr3 reveals the limiting reactant.

<u>Answer:</u> The limiting reagent in the reaction is bromine.

<u>Explanation:</u>

Limiting reagent is defined as the reagent which is completely consumed in the reaction and limits the formation of the product.

Excess reagent is defined as the reagent which is left behind after the completion of the reaction.

Given values:

Moles of iron = 10.0 moles

Moles of bromine = 12.0 moles

The chemical equation for the reaction of iron and bromine follows:

2Fe+3Br_2\rightarrow 2FeBr_3

By the stoichiometry of the reaction:

If 3 moles of bromine reacts with 2 moles of iron

So, 12.0 moles of bromine will react with = \frac{2}{3}\times 12.0=8moles of iron

As the given amount of iron is more than the required amount. Thus, it is present in excess and is considered as an excess reagent.

Hence, bromine is considered a limiting reagent because it limits the formation of the product.

Thus, the limiting reagent in the reaction is bromine.

What mass of carbon dioxide is formed when 1.75 mol of ethane burns completely in oxygen?
dybincka [34]

Answer:

There is a mass of 154 Grams of Carbon Dioxide.

Explanation:

One mole is equal to 6.02 × 10^23 particles.

This means we have 1.05 X 10^24 total particles of Ethane.

Each ethane particle contains 2 carbon atoms.

If every particle of ethane is burned, we will end up with 2.10 x 10^24 molecules of Carbon Dioxide (Particles of Methane x 2, since each Methane particle contains 2 carbon atoms)

Carbon Dioxide has a molar mass of 44.01 g/mol

So if we take our amount of Carbon Dioxide molecules and divide it by 1 mole, ((2.10 x 10^24)/(6.02 x 10^23) = 3.49) we find that we have 3.49 moles of Carbon Dioxide.

Now all we need to do is multiply our moles of carbon dioxide(3.49) by it's molar mass(44.01) while accounting for significant digits.

What you should end up with is 154 Grams of Carbon Dioxide.

Hope this helps (And more importantly I hope I didn't make any errors in my math lol)

As a side note this is all assuming that this takes place at STP conditions.

Which state of matter would be described as having highly energized, charged particles that move extremely fast
uranmaximum [27]
There are four states of matter, solid, liquid, gas and plasma. Their formation is as when solid is heated it converts into liquid, liquid on heating converts into gases and gases on heating converts into plasma.

Plasma:
           Plasma is the fourth state of matter. It is the highest energy state of matter.

Composition:
           Plasma is made up of negatively charged and positively charged particles.

Result:
           The answer to your question is Plasma.
