Whats your question here?
Actually the correct answer must be:
The limiting reactant in the reaction is the one which has
the lowest ratio of moles available
over coefficient in the balanced equation
This is because the actual mass or number of moles of the
reactant does not directly dictate if it is a limiting reactant, this must be
relative to the other reactants.
So the answer is:
e. none of the above
This is a physical change, you can turn the current off not changing something permanently such as mixing cake batter you cant delude the eggs and flour so its would be physical.
The unbalanced chemical equation with the corresponding phase for each substance is shown below:
Cu₍s₎ + H₂SO₄₍aq₎ → CuSO₄₍aq₎ + SO₂₍g₎ + H₂O₍l₎
The copper metal is solid, the sulfuric acid and copper sulfate are in aqueous solution. Water is in the liquid phase while sulfur dioxide is in the gas phase.
In order to obtain the balanced equation, we must ensure that the number of atoms present in the reactant side is equal to that in the product side. First, we list the elements involved and count their number on each side.
Reactant Product
1 Cu 1
2 H 2
1 S 2
4 O 5
To balance the equation, we need to have 2 moles of H₂SO₄ and 2 moles of H₂O. The balanced chemical equation is then:
Cu₍s₎ + 2H₂SO₄₍aq₎ → CuSO₄₍aq₎ + SO₂₍g₎ + 2H₂O₍l₎
Reactant Product
1 Cu 1
4 H 4
2 S 2
8 O 8
Tough question, I would suggest using Google maybe, or just plain out asking your science teacher.
