I think there is a typo because I've never seen HSO4 2- before in my life. It should be HSO4-. For that, H is 1+ and each Oxygen is 2-0 totaling 8-. So the oxidation state of sulfur +1 - 8 = 7
So the oxidation state of sulfur is +6
Answer:
ability to combine with oxygen
Answer:
Theoretical yield of the reaction = 34 g
Excess reactant is hydrogen
Limiting reactant is nitrogen
Explanation:
Given there is 100 g of nitrogen and 100 g of hydrogen
Number of moles of nitrogen = 100 ÷ 28 = 3·57
Number of moles of hydrogen = 100 ÷ 2 = 50
Reaction between nitrogen and hydrogen yields ammonia according to the following chemical equation
N2 + 3H2 → 2NH3
From the above chemical equation for every mole of nitrogen that reacts, 3 moles of hydrogen will be required and 2 moles of ammonia will be formed
Now we have 3·57 moles of nitrogen and therefore we require 3 × 3·57 moles of hydrogen
⇒ We require 10·71 moles of hydrogen
But we have 50 moles of hydrogen
∴ Limiting reactant is nitrogen and excess reactant is hydrogen
From the balanced chemical equation the yield will be 2 × 3·57 moles of ammonia
Molecular weight of ammonia = 17 g
∴ Theoretical yield of the reaction = 2 × 3·57 × 17 = 121·38 g
