What is the limiting reagent when a 2.00 g sample of ammonia is mixed with 4.00 g of oxygen?​
UNO [17]

Answer:

Ammonia is limiting reactant

Amount of oxygen left  = 0.035 mol

Explanation:

Masa of ammonia = 2.00 g

Mass of oxygen = 4.00 g

Which is limiting reactant = ?

Balance chemical equation:

4NH₃ + 3O₂     →     2N₂ + 6H₂O

Number of moles of ammonia:

Number of moles = mass/molar mass

Number of moles = 2.00 g/ 17 g/mol

Number of moles = 0.12 mol

Number of moles of oxygen:

Number of moles = mass/molar mass

Number of moles = 4.00 g/ 32 g/mol

Number of moles = 0.125 mol

Now we will compare the moles of ammonia and oxygen with water and nitrogen.

                      NH₃          :            N₂

                        4             :             2

                      0.12           :           2/4×0.12 = 0.06

                      NH₃         :            H₂O

                        4            :             6

                        0.12       :           6/4×0.12 = 0.18

                       

                       O₂            :            N₂

                        3             :             2

                      0.125        :           2/3×0.125 = 0.08

                        O₂           :            H₂O

                        3              :             6

                        0.125       :           6/3×0.125 = 0.25

The number of moles of water and nitrogen formed by ammonia are less thus ammonia will be limiting reactant.

Amount of oxygen left:

                        NH₃          :             O₂

                           4            :              3

                           0.12       :          3/4×0.12= 0.09

Amount of oxygen react = 0.09 mol

Amount of oxygen left  = 0.125 - 0.09 = 0.035 mol

A sample of gas has a volume of 75.0 mL at 30.0 psi. Determine the pressure of the gas if its volume is changed to 15 mL and its
Assoli18 [71]

Answer:

5.995 psi

Explanation:

30 psi = 2.04 atm

75 mL = 0.075 L

15 mL = 0.015 L

0.075 L/ 2.04 atm = 0.015 L/x

0.075x = 0.0306

x = 0.408

0.408 atm = 5.995 psi

The period of a sound 440-Hertz sound wave is how many second/second.
masha68 [24]
440 hertz = 440/seconds
1/440 seconds = period of the sound wave.
so Answer is 2.2727272* 10^-3 second or 1/440 seconds

Which of the following has the greatest electronegativity difference between the bonded atoms? View Available Hint(s) Which of t
Reptile [31]

Answer: A group 1 alkali metal bonded to fluoride, such as LiF.

Explanation:

Electronegativity is defined as the property of an element to attract a shared pair of electron towards itself. The size of an atom increases as we move down the group because a new shell is added and electron gets added up.

1. A strong acid made of hydrogen and a halogen, such as HCl : A polar covalent bond is defined as the bond which is formed when there is a difference of electronegativities between the atoms. Electronegativity difference = electronegativity of chlorine - electronegativity of hydrogen = 3-2.1= 0.9

2. A group 1 alkali metal bonded to fluoride, such as LiF: Ionic bond is formed when there is complete transfer of electron from a highly electropositive metal to a highly electronegative non metal.

Electronegativity difference = electronegativity of fluorine - electronegativity of lithium= 4-1= 3

3. Carbon bonded to a group 6A (16) nonmetal chalcogen, such as in CO: A polar covalent bond is defined as the bond which is formed when there is a difference of electronegativities between the atoms.

Electronegativity difference = electronegativity of oxygen - electronegativity of carbon= 3.5-2.5= 1.0

4. A diatomic gas, such as nitrogen (N_2): Non-polar covalent bond is defined as the bond which is formed when there is no difference of electronegativities between the atoms.

Electronegativity difference = 0

Thus the greatest electronegativity difference between the bonded atoms is in LiF.
