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.

What is the ionic formula of the compound formed by Co3+ and the phosphorus ion? What is the name of the compound formed based o

klasskru [66]

Answer: The ionic formula of compound is $CoP$ and the name is cobalt phosphide.

Explanation:

For formation of a neutral ionic compound, the charges on cation and anion must be balanced. The cation is formed by loss of electrons by metals and anions are formed by gain of electrons by non metals.

Here element Co is having an oxidation state of +3 called as $Co^{3+}$ cation and phosphprous forms $P^{3-}$ anion with oxidation state of -3. Thus they combine and their oxidation states are exchanged and written in simplest whole number ratios to give neutral $CoP$

The nomenclature of ionic compounds is given by:

1. Positive is written first followed by the oxidation state of metal in roman numerals in square brackets.

2. The negative ion is written next and a suffix is added at the end of the negative ion. The suffix written is '-ide'.

Thus the name of $CoP$ is cobalt phosphide.

The reaction of hydrogen gas and iron oxide is described by the chemical equation below. 3H2+Fe2O3→2Fe+3H2O How many moles of ir

ELEN [110]

Answer:

2.2 moles of Fe will be produced

Explanation:

Step 1: Data given

Number of moles of hydrogen gas = 3.3 moles

Number of moles of iron oxide = 1.5 moles

Step 2: The balanced equation

3H2 + Fe2O3 → 2Fe + 3H2O

Step 3: Calculate the limiting reactant

For 3 moles H2 we need 1 mol Fe2O3 to produce 2 moles Fe and 3 moles H2O

Hydrogen gas is the limiting reactant. It will completely be consumed (3.3 moles). Fe2O3 is in excess. There will react 3.3 / 3 = 1.1 moles

There will remain 1.5 - 1.1 = 0.4 moles Fe2O3

Step 4: Calculate moles Fe

For 3 moles H2 we need 1 mol Fe2O3 to produce 2 moles Fe and 3 moles H2O

For 3.3 moles H2 we'll have 2/3 * 3.3 = 2.2 moles Fe

2.2 moles of Fe will be produced
