Answer:

KBr is limiting reactant.

Explanation:

Given data:

Mass of  KBr =4g

Mass of Cl₂ = 6 g

Limiting reactant = ?

Solution:

Chemical equation:

2KBr + Cl₂      →    2KCl + Br₂

Number of moles of KBr:

Number of moles = mass/molar mass

Number of moles = 4 g/ 119 gmol

Number of moles = 0.03 mol

Number of moles of Cl₂:

Number of moles = mass/molar mass

Number of moles = 6 g/ 70 gmol

Number of moles = 0.09 mol

Now we will compare the moles of reactant with product.

              KBr            :            KCl

                2              :              2

            0.03            :            0.03

             KBr            :              Br₂

                2             :               1

             0.03           :          1/2×0.03= 0.015

               Cl₂             :            KCl

                 1              :              2

            0.09            :           2/1×0.09 = 0.18

               Cl₂             :              Br₂

                1              :               1

             0.09           :            0.09

Less number of moles of product are formed by the KBr thus it will act as limiting reactant while Cl₂  is present in excess.

What’s the electron configuration of an N-3 ion
Alla [95]

Answer:

1s2 2s2 2p6

Explanation:

The nitride ion(N^3-) is formed when nitrogen gains three electrons. Nitrogen possesses seven electrons in its orbitals and ordinarily has the electronic configuration; 1s2 2s2 2p3. However,being in group 15, nitrogen can accept three electrons to form the nitride ion and complete its octet of electrons. When this happens, three electrons are added to the nitrogen atom and the electronic configuration is now the same as that of Neon, its closest noble gas which is 1s2 2s2 2p6. Hence the answer given above.

Elements can accept or donate electrons in order to complete their octet structure in accordance to the octet rule which states that atoms and ions must possess eight electrons in their outermost shell in order to attain chemical stability. The reason for ion formation and chemical reaction is in order for species to attain the octet structure.
