Answer:

Iron is limiting reactant

Explanation:

Based on the reaction:

Fe + S → FeS

1 mole of iron reacts per mole of Sulfur

To solve this question we must convert the mass of each reactant to moles using molar masses of each reactant. As the reaction is 1:1, the reactant with the lower amount of moles is limiting reactant.

Moles Fe -Molar mass: 55.845g/mol-

4.68g * (1mol / 55.845g) = 0.0838 moles

Moles S -Molar mass: 32.065g/mol-

2.88g * (1mol / 32.065g) = 0.0898 moles

As the amount of moles of Fe < Moles S,

Iron is limiting reactant

Explain why it is necessary to balance chemical equations in terms of maintaining equilibrium. How can you tell when a chemical

LUCKY_DIMON [66]

Answer:

See explanation.

Explanation:

Hello,

In this case, we say that chemical reactions are governed by the law of conservation of mass, which states that matter cannot be neither created nor destroyed by transformed, for that reason, we need to balance chemical reactions in order to ensure all the atoms to be in the same quantity at both reactants and products.

Moreover, equilibrium is defined as such condition at which the concentration of both reactants and products stop changing over the time so they become constant as well as their null reaction rate.

A widely acknowledged reaction is the HABER one which consists on the synthesis of ammonia by using elemental nitrogen and hydrogen:

$N_2(g)+3H_2(g)\rightleftharpoons 2NH_3(g)$

In such reaction, we have two nitrogens at both reatants and products and six hydrogens at at both reatants and products for us to obey the law of conservation of mass. Furthermore, as the time goes by, nitrogen reacts with hydrogen, nonetheless, they do not react indefinitely, they have a limit that is equilibrium, so their moles stop being consumed and remain unchanged as well as the produced moles of ammonia.

Best regards.

Which best describes the relative positions of protons, neutrons, and electrons in an atom?

Anastaziya [24]

Hello!

The center of an atom is called the nucleus; it is comprised of protons and neutrons, collectively known as nucleons. The electrons float around the nucleus in a cloud.

Answer:
A) Protons and neutrons are in the center of the atom, and electrons move around in the cloud.

The combustion of palmitic acid is represented by the chemical equation: C16H32O2(s) + 23O2(g) → 16 CO2(g) + 16 H2O(l) The magni

solniwko [45]

Answer:

The correct option is C

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

The reaction is

$C_{16}H_{32}O_2(g) + 23O_2(g) \to 16 CO_2(g) + 16 H_2O(l)$

Generally $\Delta H = \Delta U + \Delta N* RT$

Here $\Delta H$ is the change in enthalpy

$\Delta U$ is the change in the internal energy

$\Delta N$ is the difference between that number of moles of product and the number of moles of reactant

Looking at the reaction we can discover that the elements that was consumed and the element that was formed is $O_2$ and $CO_2$ and this are both gases so the change would occur in the number of moles

$\Delta H = \Delta U + [16 -23]* RT$

$\Delta H = \Delta U -7RT$

The negative sign in the equation tell us that the enthalpy $\Delta_r H$ would be less than the Internal energy $\Delta_r U$
