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.

Find the pH of HCl with a concentration of 0.00006M<br> Round to the nearest whole number
Tpy6a [65]

Answer:

4.22

Explanation:

pH stands for potential hydrogen. The letter “p” denotes potential and the letter “H” denotes hydrogen.

pH helps to find the acidity or alkalinity of an aqueous solution.

The number of hydrogen ions (protons) present in a solution is determined by the pH scale.

A pH greater than 7 makes the water more alkaline and a pH less than 7 makes the water more acidic.

pH=-\log [H^+]=-\log [0.00006]=4.22
