Answer:
H₂ gas
Explanation:
The reaction between nitrogen gas and hydrogen gas forms ammonia (the Haber-Bosch process):
N₂ + 3H₂ ⇒ 2NH₃
The excess reactant can be found by comparing the moles of nitrogen and hydrogen. The molar mass of N₂ is 28.00 g/mol and the molar mass of H₂ is 2.02 g/mol.
(100 kg N₂)(1000g/kg)(mol/28.00g) = 3570 mol
(100 kg H₂)(1000g/kg)(mol/2.02g) = 49500 mol
The molar ratio between the reactant N₂ and H₂ is 1N₂:3H₂. The moles of nitrogen required to react with H₂ is:
(49500 mol H₂)(1N₂ / 3H₂) = 16500 mol
The amount of nitrogen required is more than what is available, so nitrogen is the limiting reagent and hydrogen is the excess reagent.
The correct option is B.
Mendeleev was the one who originated the idea of arranging elements in the periodic table according to their chemical and physical properties. He left spaces in the periodic table and predicted the discovery of those elements that had not been discovered then. One of these elements is Gallium. He predicted that gallium is going to be a metal and he gave the properties that the element will possess. He also predicted that the element gallium will be placed under aluminium in the periodic table.
C. Also just look up a chemical equation balancer calculator next time.
