Answer:

Explanation:

The limiting reagent is one that is consumed first in its entirety, determining the amount of product in the reaction. When the limiting reagent ends, the chemical reaction will stop.

In other words, the limiting reagent is that reagent that in a chemical reaction is consumed in the first measure, determining the quantity of products obtained. The reaction depends on the limiting reagent, because the other reagents will not react when one has been consumed.

I'm assuming that you are asking a general question because you did not include an example.

The limiting reagent is the item in the reactants (reagents) that will run out first. This is because it limits what the reaction can produce, essentially causing the leftover elements/compounds to just sit there.

LiRa [457]

Answer:

Here's what I get.

Explanation:

1. Write the chemical equation

$\rm 4HCl + O$_{2} \longrightarrow \,$ 2Cl$_{2}$ + 2H$_{2}$O$

Assume that we start with 4 L of HCl

2. Calculate the theoretical volume of oxygen

$\text{V}_{\text{O}_{2}}= \text{4 L HCl} \times \dfrac{\text{1 L O}_{2}}{\text{4 L HCl}} = \text{1 L O}_{2}}$

3. Add 35% excess

$\text{V}_{\text{O}_{2}}= \text{1 L O}_{2}} \times 1.35 = \text{1.35 L O}_{2}}$

4. Calculate the theoretical volume of nitrogen

$\text{V}_{\text{N}_{2}} = \text{1.35 L O}_{2}} \times \dfrac{\text{79 L N}_{2}}{\text{21 L O}_{2}}} = \text{5.08 L N}_{2}}$

4. Calculate volumes of reactant used up

Only 85 % of the HCl is converted.

We can summarize the volumes in an ICE table

4HCl + O₂ + N₂ → 2Cl₂ + 2H₂O

I/L: 4 1.35 5.08 0 0

C/L: -0.85(4) -0.85(1) 0 +0.85(2) +0.85(2)

E/L: 0.60 0.50 5.08 1.70 1.70

5. Calculate the mole fractions of each gas in the product stream

Total volume = (0.60 + 0.50 + 5.08 + 1.70 + 1.70) L = 9.58 L

$\chi = \dfrac{\text{V}_{\text{component}}}{\text{V}_\text{total}} = \dfrac{\text{ V}_{\text{component}}}{\text{9.58}} = \text{0.1044V}_{\text{component}}\\\\\chi_{\text{HCl}} = 0.1044\times 0.60 = 0.063\\\\\chi_{\text{O}_{2}} = 0.1044\times 0.50 = 0.052\\\\\chi_{\text{N}_{2}} = 0.1044\times 5.08 = 0.530\\\\\chi_{\text{Cl}_{2}} = 0.1044\times 1.70 = 0.177\\\\\chi_{\text{H$_{2}${O}}} = 0.1044\times 1.70 = 0.177\\\\$

When measuring a quanity what factor can impact the accuracy of the measurement?

kykrilka [37]

The precision of a tool can affect the measurement's accuracy. how specific the measurement can get (if it goes to the tenths place, hundredths, etc) can also affect the accuracy.

The substrate is the same in parts a and b, however the mechanism that proceeds is different. Explain how the choice of solvent

GenaCL600 [577]

Answer:

See explanation

Explanation:

The reaction of a benzyl bromide with a nucleophile may proceed by SN1 or SN2 mechanism depending on the nature of the solvent used.

Since SN1 reaction involves the formation of a carbocation, it usually predominates in the presence of a poor nucleophiles and protic solvents. Hence when methanol is used as solvent and a poor nucleophile is used, SN1 mechanism predominates.

However, when acetone which is an aprotic solvent is used in the presence of a good nucleophile, SN2 reaction mechanism predominates.

The average molecular speed in a sample of Ar gas at a certain temperature is 391 m/s. The average molecular speed in a sample o

adoni [48]

Answer:

550 m/s

Explanation:

The average molecular speed (v) is the speed associated with a group of molecules on average. We can calculate it using the following expression.

$v = \sqrt{\frac{3 \times R \times T}{M} }$

where,

R: ideal gas constant

T: absolute temperature

M: molar mass of the gas

We can use the info of argon to calculate the temperature for both samples.

$T = \frac{v^{2} \times M}{3 \times R} = \frac{(391m/s)^{2} \times 39.95g/mol}{3 \times 8.314J/k.mol} = 2.45 \times 10^{5} K$

Now, we can use the same expression to find the average molecular speed in a sample of Ne gas.

$v = \sqrt{\frac{3 \times R \times T}{M} } = \sqrt{\frac{3 \times (8.314J/k.mol) \times 2.45 \times 10^{5}K }{20.18g/mol} } = 550 m/s$
