Answer:

Hydrogen H₂ will be the limiting reagent.

The excess reactant that will be left after the reaction is 3.45 moles.

4.3 moles of water can be produced.

Explanation:

The balanced reation is:

2 H₂ + O₂ → 2 H₂O

By reaction stoichiometry (that is, the relationship between the amount of reagents and products in a chemical reaction), the following amounts of each compound participate in the reaction:

  • H₂: 2 moles
  • O₂: 1 mole
  • H₂O: 2 moles

To determine the limiting reagent, you can use a simple rule of three as follows: if by stoichiometry 1 mole of O₂ reacts with 2 moles of H₂, how much moles of H₂ will be needed if 5.6 moles of O₂ react?

moles of H_{2} =\frac{5.6 moles of O_{2} *2 mole of H_{2} }{1 mole of O_{2}}

moles of H₂= 11.2 moles

But 11.2 moles of H₂ are not available, 4.3 moles are available. Since you have less moles than you need to react with 5.6 moles of O₂, <u><em>hydrogen H₂ will be the limiting reagent</em></u> and oxygen O₂ will be the excess reagent.

Then you can apply the following rules of three:

  • If by reaction stoichiometry 2 moles of H₂ react with 1 mole of O₂, 4.3 moles of H₂ will react with how many moles of O₂?

moles of O_{2} =\frac{1 mole of O_{2} *4.3 mole of H_{2} }{2 mole of O_{2}}

moles of O₂= 2.15 moles

The excess reactant that will be left after the reaction can be calculated as:

5.6 moles - 2.15 moles= 3.45 moles

<u><em>The excess reactant that will be left after the reaction is 3.45 moles.</em></u>

  • If by reaction stoichiometry 2 moles of H₂ produce 2 moles of H₂O, 4.3 moles of H₂ produce how many moles of H₂O?

moles of H_{2}O =\frac{2 moles of H_{2}O *4.3 mole of H_{2} }{2 mole of H_{2}}

moles of H₂O= 4.3 moles

<u><em>4.3 moles of water can be produced.</em></u>

Answer:

Its basically a series of events that take place in a cell. A cell spends most of its time in what is called inter phase, and during this time it grows, replicates its chromosomes, and prepares for cell division. Then after that The cell then leaves interphase, undergoes mitosis, and completes its division.
