<u>Answer:</u> The formula of limiting reagent is 'S', the amount of excess reagent (carbon monoxide) left is 3.22 grams and the maximum amount of sulfur dioxide formed is 23.2 grams

<u>Explanation:</u>

To calculate the number of moles, we use the equation:

\text{Number of moles}=\frac{\text{Given mass}}{\text{Molar mass}}     .....(1)

  • <u>For sulfur:</u>

Given mass of sulfur = 11.6 g

Molar mass of sulfur = 32 g/mol

Putting values in equation 1, we get:

\text{Moles of sulfur}=\frac{11.6g}{32g/mol}=0.3625mol

  • <u>For carbon monoxide:</u>

Given mass of carbon monoxide = 23.5 g

Molar mass of carbon monoxide = 28 g/mol

Putting values in equation 1, we get:

\text{Moles of carbon monoxide}=\frac{23.5g}{28g/mol}=0.840mol

The chemical equation for the reaction of sulfur and carbon monoxide follows:

S(s)+2CO(g)\rightarrow SO_2(g)+2C(s)

By Stoichiometry of the reaction:

1 mole of sulfur reacts with 2 moles of carbon monoxide

So, 0.3625 moles of sulfur will react with = \frac{2}{1}\times 0.3625=0.725mol of carbon monoxide

As, given amount of carbon monoxide is more than the required amount. So, it is considered as an excess reagent.

Thus, sulfur is considered as a limiting reagent because it limits the formation of product.

Amount of excess reagent (carbon monoxide) = [0.840 - 0.725] = 0.115 moles

By Stoichiometry of the reaction:

1 mole of sulfur produces 1 mole of sulfur dioxide

So, 0.3625 moles of sulfur will produce = \frac{1}{1}\times 0.3625=0.3625moles of sulfur dioxide

Now, calculating the mass of carbon monoxide and sulfur dioxide from equation 1, we get:

  • <u>For carbon monoxide:</u>

Molar mass of carbon monoxide = 28 g/mol

Excess moles of carbon monoxide = 0.115 moles

Putting values in equation 1, we get:

0.115mol=\frac{\text{Mass of carbon monoxide}}{28g/mol}\\\\\text{Mass of carbon monoxide}=(0.115mol\times 28g/mol)=3.22g

  • <u>For sulfur dioxide:</u>

Molar mass of sulfur dioxide = 64 g/mol

Excess moles of sulfur dioxide = 0.3625 moles

Putting values in equation 1, we get:

0.3625mol=\frac{\text{Mass of sulfur dioxide}}{64g/mol}\\\\\text{Mass of sulfur dioxide}=(0.3625mol\times 64g/mol)=23.2g

Hence, the formula of limiting reagent is 'S', the amount of excess reagent (carbon monoxide) left is 3.22 grams and the maximum amount of sulfur dioxide formed is 23.2 grams

Harvey kept a balloon with a volume of 348 milliliters at 25.0˚C inside a freezer for a night. When he took it out, its new volu
ad-work [718]

Initial volume of the balloon = V_{1}= 348 mL

Initial temperature of the balloon T_{1} = 25.0^{0}C + 273 = 298 K

Final volume of the balloon V_{2} = 322 mL

Final temperature of the balloon = T_{2} = ?

According to Charles law, volume of an ideal gas is directly proportional to the temperature at constant pressure.

\frac{V_{1} }{T_{1} } =\frac{V_{2} }{T_{2} }

On plugging in the values,

\frac{348mL}{298 K} =\frac{322 mL}{T_{2} }

T_{2} =276 K

Therefore, the temperature of the freezer is 276 K

Decreasing the temperature of the reaction 3H2 + N2&lt;-----&gt;2NH3. In this reaction, the product absorbs heat. WHICH WAY WILL
AURORKA [14]

3H_{2}+N_{2}⇔2NH_{3}

Decreasing the temperature of the reaction,the reaction shifts forward.

The explanation is given below.

Explanation:

If the temperature of the reaction mixture is increased,then the equilibrium will shift to decrease the temperature.

If the temperature of the reaction mixture is decreased,then the equilibrium will shift to increase the temperature.

During the formation of the ammonia,it gives off heat.So it is an exothermic reaction.

3H_{2}+N_{2}⇔2NH_{3}

A decrease in the temperature favors the reaction that is exothermic (the forward reaction)because it produces energy.Therefore,if the temperature is decreased,the yield of the ammonia increases.

<em>Therefore if the temperature is increased,the reaction shifts forward and the yield of the ammonia increases and it is an exothermic reaction.</em>

Why are the molecules of hydrocarbons nonpolar?
laiz [17]
<span>This is not the case in the hydrocarbon tail. The electronegativity of hydrogen and carbon are very similar, so the electron cloud is distributed evenly over the two atoms. Carbon-hydrogen bonds are said to be non-polar because they do not have positive and negative poles within themselves. Hope this helps. </span>

What is the energy of a photon that emits a light of frequency 6.42 x 1014 Hz?<br><br>​
svetlana [45]

Answer:

Option B. 4.25×10¯¹⁹ J

Explanation:

From the question given above, the following data were obtained:

Frequency (f) = 6.42×10¹⁴ Hz

Energy (E) =?

Energy and frequency are related by the following equation:

Energy (E) = Planck's constant (h) × frequency (f)

E = hf

With the above formula, we can obtain the energy of the photon as follow:

Frequency (f) = 6.42×10¹⁴ Hz

Planck's constant (h) = 6.63×10¯³⁴ Js

Energy (E) =?

E = hf

E = 6.63×10¯³⁴ × 6.42×10¹⁴

E = 4.25×10¯¹⁹ J

Thus, the energy of the photon is 4.25×10¯¹⁹ J
