Determine the LIMITING reactant in the following balanced equation:

Chemistry
1 answer:
padilas [110]3 years ago
5 0

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.

Which of the following terms describes an accumulation of rocky, sandy, or clayey material deposited at the end of a glacier?
OLEGan [10]

Answer:

Option (D)

Explanation:

<u>Eskers are the long ridges that are comprised of rocks, sands and clay particles and are deposited towards the end of the glaciers</u>. These are fluvioglacial depositional features. These particles are exposed after the glaciers recede. These ridges are formed parallel to the earlier flow direction of ice. The size of eskers is generally smaller as it carries smaller particles such as rocks, sands, and gravels, in comparison to the different type of moraines. It is because the flow velocity decreases as the glaciers melt. So, these eskers are formed at the end of the glaciers.

Thus, the correct answer is option (D).

The building with incandescent light bulbs would have higher energy bills because less than 10% of the bulb is used for light while the rest is given off as heat. Fluorescent light bulbs use ¼ as much energy and provide the same amount of light.

Calculate the molarity of the acid solution.<br>H2SO4(aq) with a pH of 2.
Lena [83]

Concentration "molarity" of H₂SO₄ in this solution:

5 × 10⁻³ mol / dm³.

<h3>Explanation</h3>

What's the concentration of H⁺ ions in this solution?

[\text{H}^{+}] = 10^{-\text{pH}},

where [\text{H}^{+}] is in the unit mol / dm³.

\text{pH} = 2

[\text{H}^{+}] = 10^{-2} \;\text{mol}\cdot\text{dm}^{-3}.

What's the concentration "molarity" of H₂SO₄ in this solution?

Sulfuric acid H₂SO₄ is a strong acid. Note the subscript "2". Each mole of this acid dissolves in water to produce two moles of H⁺ ions. It takes only \dfrac{10^{-2}}{2} = 5 \times 10^{-3}\;\text{mol}\cdot\text{dm}^{-3} of H₂SO₄ to produce twice as much H⁺ ions.

As a result, the <em>molarity</em> of H₂SO₄ is 5 × 10⁻³ mol / dm³ or 0.005 M.
