Answer:

a richter scale measures the magnitude of an earthquake so in my own words i would say the richter scale measures the size of an earthquake and letting us kniw how big it will be to prepare for it.

Consider this reaction: 6 CO2 + 6 H2O + light equation C6H12O6 + 6 O2 If there were 2.38 x 102 g of H2O, 18.6 moles of CO2, and
alisha [4.7K]

H₂O would be the limiting reactant.

Balanced chemical equation:

6CO₂ + 6H₂O + light equation → C₆H₁₂O₆ + 6O₂

The amount of product that can be created is constrained by the reactant that is consumed first in a chemical reaction, commonly referred to as the limiting reactant (or limiting reagent).

Given

No. of moles of CO₂ = 18.6

Mass of H₂O = 2.38 × 10² g = 238g

No. of moles of H₂O = Given mass/ Molar mass

                                = 238 / 18 = 13.22 moles

Moles of H₂O = 13.22

According to the balanced chemical equation

6 moles of CO₂ react with 6 moles of H₂O

So the reactant that has less number of moles will be consumed first.

As the No. of moles of H₂O < No. of moles of CO₂

So, H₂O is the limiting reactant with 13.22 moles.

Hence, H₂O would be the limiting reactant.

For each of the bonds listed, tell which atom is more negatively charged a. C--H b. C--N c. C--S d. C--O
blondinia [14]

Explanation:

The atom is considered to be more electronegative , when it has the tendency to get a slight negative i.e. , delta negative charge on it , and the other atom gets a delta positive charge .

In the periodic table ,

As we go left to right in the periodic table , the electronegativity increases ,

and

As we go top to bottom , the electronegativity decreases .

Hence , from the option given in the question ,

a. C--H , the electronegativity of both the atom is almost the same , but looking at the treads of the periodic table , Carbon is more electronegative than hydrogen .

b. C--N ,  the electronegativity of both the atom is almost the same , but looking at the treads of the periodic table , nitrogen is more electronegative than Carbon .

c. C--S , the electronegativity of both the atom is almost the same , but looking at the treads of the periodic table , sulfur is more electronegative than Carbon .

d. C--O , the electronegativity of both the atom is almost the same , but looking at the treads of the periodic table , oxygen is more electronegative than Carbon .
