NaOH is the limiting reactant

<h3>Further explanation</h3>

Given

12 g of sulfur reacts with 18 g of oxygen and 24 g of sodium hydroxide

Required

The limiting reactant

Solution

Reaction

2 S(s) + 3 O₂(g) + 4 NaOH(aq) ⇒ 2 Na₂SO₄(aq) + 2 H₂O(l)

  • mol S(MW=32.065 g/mol) :

\tt \dfrac{12}{32.065}=0.374

  • mol O₂(MW=32 g/mol)

\tt \dfrac{18}{32}=0.5625

  • mol NaOH(MW=40 g/mol)

\tt \dfrac{24}{40}=0.6

A method that can be used to find limiting reactants is <em>to divide the number of moles of known substances by their respective coefficients</em>, and the smallest ratio becomes a limiting reactant

S : O₂ : NaOH =

\tt \dfrac{0.374}{2}\div \dfrac{0.5625}{3}\div \dfrac{0.6}{4}=0.187\div 0.1875\div 0.15\Rightarrow NaOH~smallest~ratio

maksim [4K]

Answer:

Sort the lab chemicals in alphabetical order for quick access.

Become familiar with the chemicals to be used, including exposure or spill hazards.

Locate the spill kits and understand how they are used.

Explanation:

There are many chemicals in a laboratory hence they should be sorted out and arranged in alphabetical order so that theory can easily be identified and located whenever they are required.

The properties of each chemical should be known especially hazards connected to exposure or spill of the chemicals.

The students should also familiarize themselves with the contents of spill kits and how they are used.

How does the emission spectrum of the hydrogen atom provide evidence for the Bohr model of the atom
Lyrx [107]
The fact that there are definite energy levels in the radiation spectra is known since light wavelength has been linked with the energy quantum (Einstein 1905 - Δ=ℎ.). These energy differences explain the reason why the spectrum of atoms is discontinuous (formed by spectral lines).
Bohr had the idea to link it to a change in the orbit radius of the electron around the nucleus (The idea that H atom could be formed by the association of one proton and one electron had been suggested a couple of years before by E. Rutherford).
This outstanding idea was perfected by a whole series of remarquable physicists in the years 1920–1930. It even continues to be refined to this day, where it forms the basis of atomic spectroscopy.

Assuming 100% dissociation, calculate the freezing point and boiling point of 2.60 m K3PO4(aq).
Serga [27]
To find the freezing point, you use the following formula

fp solution= fp solvent - Δfp solution

fp solvent= 0 C (since the solvent was not stated, you can assume is water which freezing point is 0 degree celsius)

but first, we need to find the depression in freezing point (Δfp solution)

Δfp solution= Kf x i x m, where Kf is constant for the solvent, i is the number of particles produced by the solute and m is the molality of the solution.

Kf= 1.86 for water
i= 4 , becausethe solute breaks into 4 ions, K3PO4---> 3K+ + PO4-3
m= 2.60

Δfp solution= (1.86) (4) (2.60)= 19.3 C

fp solution= 0 - 19.3C=<span> -19.3C
</span>

for boiling point, we use a similar formula and way to solve it. 

Δbp solution= bp solvent + Δbp solution

bp solvent= 100 C for water


to find the elevation boiling point (Δbp soln) is equal to:

Δbp solution= Kb x i x m

Kb= 0.512
i= 4
m= 2.60

Δbp solution= (0.512) (4) (2.60)= 5.32 C

bp solution= 100C + 5.32C= <span>105.32 C</span>
