Matter is made up of particles too small to be seen with the naked eye called atoms
Firstly the limiting reactant should be identified. Limiting reactant is the reactant that is in limited supply, the amount of product formed depends on the moles present of the limiting reactant.
the stoichiometry of x to y = 1:2
1 mole of x reacts with 2 moles of y
if x is the limiting reactant, there are 3 moles of x, then 6 moles of y should react, however there are only 4 moles of y. Therefore y is the limiting reactant and x is in excess.
4 moles of y reacts with 2 moles of x
since there are 3 moles of x initially and only 2 moles are used up, excess amount of x is 1 mol thats in excess.
Physical. chemical only applies when it undergoes a reaction
1. Iron fillings are magnetic, so use a magnet to pull the iron fillings out of the mix.
2. Then you can put the salt and sand mixture into water, since salt is soluble, and the salt will dissolve, leaving you with sand.
If an an element has an atomic number of 60, then there would me 60 protons.
Something that helps me is APE.
The atomic number is the same as the number of protons and electrons.
