Ben has a snack with a combination of raisins, chocolate pieces, and nuts. As he eats the snack, Ben picks out all of the raisin
erastova [34]

Answer:

Trail Mix

Explanation:

The best description for the snack that Ben is eating would be Trail Mix. This is a very common snack for hikers, hence the name, since it is very healthy and great for taking on hikes since it does not get affected by the sun. This snack was originally called GORP which stands for "good old raisins and peanuts" because the snack originally contained only raisins and peanuts. It has since changed to include various different ingredients such as a variety of nuts, chocolate pieces, dried fruit, cereal etc.

What is the limiting reagent when a 2.00 g sample of ammonia is mixed with 4.00 g of oxygen?​
UNO [17]

Answer:

Ammonia is limiting reactant

Amount of oxygen left  = 0.035 mol

Explanation:

Masa of ammonia = 2.00 g

Mass of oxygen = 4.00 g

Which is limiting reactant = ?

Balance chemical equation:

4NH₃ + 3O₂     →     2N₂ + 6H₂O

Number of moles of ammonia:

Number of moles = mass/molar mass

Number of moles = 2.00 g/ 17 g/mol

Number of moles = 0.12 mol

Number of moles of oxygen:

Number of moles = mass/molar mass

Number of moles = 4.00 g/ 32 g/mol

Number of moles = 0.125 mol

Now we will compare the moles of ammonia and oxygen with water and nitrogen.

                      NH₃          :            N₂

                        4             :             2

                      0.12           :           2/4×0.12 = 0.06

                      NH₃         :            H₂O

                        4            :             6

                        0.12       :           6/4×0.12 = 0.18

                       

                       O₂            :            N₂

                        3             :             2

                      0.125        :           2/3×0.125 = 0.08

                        O₂           :            H₂O

                        3              :             6

                        0.125       :           6/3×0.125 = 0.25

The number of moles of water and nitrogen formed by ammonia are less thus ammonia will be limiting reactant.

Amount of oxygen left:

                        NH₃          :             O₂

                           4            :              3

                           0.12       :          3/4×0.12= 0.09

Amount of oxygen react = 0.09 mol

Amount of oxygen left  = 0.125 - 0.09 = 0.035 mol

An acidic fog in pasadena was found to have a ph of 2.50. which expression represents this ph measurement?
joja [24]

Supposing a temperature of 25 degrees and supposing that all activity coefficients are 1 

pH = -log[H+] 
pOH = -log[OH-] 
pH + pOH = 14 

Thus a pH of 2.50 would mean that the [H+], the concentration of the hydrogen ion, would be 10^(-2.50) 

pH + pOH = 14 
pOH = 14 - pH = 14 - 2.5 = 11.5 
MOH- levels would be coordinated with pOH 
pOH = -log[OH-] ==> [OH-] = [MOH-] = 10^-pOH = 10^-11.5 = 3.2 x 10^-12 

Therefore, MOH¯ = 3.2 × 10¯12 M
