Answer:

Chlorine gas.

Explanation:

Hello!

In this case, the undergoing chemical reaction is:

2Na+Cl_2\rightarrow 2NaCl

Thus, given the moles of reacting both sodium and chlorine, we compute the moles of sodium chloride yielded by each reactant by considering the 2:2 and 1:2 mole ratios:

n_{NaCl}^{by\ Na}=6.70molNa*\frac{2molNaCl}{2molNa}=6.70molNaCl \\\\n_{NaCl}^{by\ Cl_2}=3.20molCl_2*\frac{2molNaCl}{1molCl_2}=6.40molNaCl

Thus, since chlorine yields less moles of sodium chloride, we infer it is the limiting reactant.

Best regards!

<span>Photosynthesis is the process in plants to make their food. This involves the use carbon dioxide to react with water and make sugar or glucose as the main product and oxygen as a by-product.

<span>1 g CO2 ( 1 mol CO2 / 44.01 g CO2 ) ( 12 mol H2O / 6 mol CO2 ) ( 18.02 g / 1 mol ) = 0.82 g of H2O is needed</span>

However, if the amount given of CO2 is not one gram, then you can simply change the starting value in the calculation and solve for the mass of water needed.

Explain transmethylation reaction of amino acids.
tester [92]

Answer:Transamination, a chemical reaction that transfers an amino group to a ketoacid to form new amino acids. This pathway is responsible for the deamination of most amino acids. This is one of the major degradation pathways which convert essential amino acids to non-essential amino acids (amino acids that can be synthesized de novo by the organism).
