Explanation:

use the term electron sheilding, the more electrons between the valence el3ctron and nucleus the easier to lose the valence electron (more sheilding = easier to lose)

When 7.00 g of hydrogen react with 70.0 g of nitrogen, hydrogen is considered the limiting reactant because:
noname [10]

7.5 mol of hydrogen would be needed to consume the available nitrogen.

Explanation:

When hydrogen reacts with nitrogen, ammonia is formed as shown below;

3H₂ (g) + N₂ (g) → 2NH₃ (g)

As seen from the equation, every 3 moles of H₂ react with a mole of N₂ to form 2 moles of NH₃.

The limiting factor in a chemical reaction is the reactant that gets depleted first.

Because the molar mass of nitrogen gas is approximately 28g/mol, 70g of nitrogen gas would be 2.5 moles.

The reaction ratio of nitrogen to hydrogen in the reaction is 1 : 3. The reaction would require 2.5 * 3 (7.5) moles of hydrogen for a complete reaction.

However since there are only 7g on hydrogen, (Remember 1 mole of H₂ is approximately 2g), the available moles of H₂ is 7 / 2 = 3.5

3.5 moles fall short of the 7.5 moles of H₂ required for a complete reaction. H₂ gets depleted first before N₂.  The reaction would require 4 more moles of H₂.

How many moles of water, H2O contain 2.0x10^22 molecules of water
Licemer1 [7]
I mole of water has an Avogadro number of molecules.

1 mole = 6.02 * 10^ 23  molecules.

6.02 * 10^ 23  molecules  =  1 mole of water
 
1 molecule                        =  1/(6.02 * 10^23)  mole of water

2.0 * 10^22 molecules would have   =    (2*10^22) * 1/(6.02*10^23)

                                                             = 0.033

2* 10 ^22 molecules of water would have 0.033 moles of water.

The ksp of calcium carbonate, caco3, is 3.36 × 10-9 m2. calculate the solubility of this compound in g/l.
maw [93]
CaCO₃ partially dissociates in water as Ca²⁺ and CO₃²⁻. The balanced equation is,
                       CaCO₃(s) ⇄ Ca²⁺(aq) + CO₃²⁻(aq)
Initial                Y                   -                 -
Change           -X                  +X              +X
Equilibrium      Y-X                 X                X

Ksp for the CaCO₃(s) is 3.36 x 10⁻⁹ M²

                Ksp = [Ca²⁺(aq)][CO₃²⁻(aq)]
3.36 x 10⁻⁹ M² = X * X
3.36 x 10⁻⁹ M² = X²
                    X = 5.79 x 10⁻⁵ M

Hence the solubility of CaCO₃(s) = 5.79 x 10⁻⁵ M
                                                     = 5.79 x 10⁻⁵ mol/L

Molar mass of CaCO₃ = 100 g mol⁻¹

Hence the solubility of CaCO₃ = 5.79 x 10⁻⁵ mol/L x 100 g mol⁻¹
                                                 = 5.79 x 10⁻³ g/L
