Limiting reactants would appreciate the help

Chemistry
1 answer:
Vanyuwa [196]3 years ago
5 0

Answer:

Explanation:

The Limiting Reactant is that reactant which when consumed in a reaction stops the reaction. The other reactants will be in excess and typically considered non-reactive.

To identify the limiting reactant ...

- write and balance the reaction of interest. Express it in standard form. That is, standard form of a reaction is when the coefficients of the balanced equation are in their lowest whole number values. Also, remember that the standard equation is 'assumed' to be at STP conditions (0°C & 1atm).

- convert all given reactant values to moles

- divide each reactant mole value by the related coefficient of the the balanced standard equation. The smaller value is the limiting reactant. The remaining reactants will be in excess.  

Your Problem:

Given:        3Ba  +  N₂  => Ba₃N₂

               22.6g    4.2g        ?

moles Ba => 22.6g/137.34g/mol = 0.165 mole Ba

moles N₂ =>    4.2g/14.007g/mol= 0.150 mole N₂

Part A: Determining the Limited Reactant

  • Divide each mole value by respective coefficient ... smallest value is Limiting  Reactant.

Barium => 0.165/3 = 0.055  <=> (Limiting Reactant)

Nitrogen => 0.15/1 = 0.15

  • Barium is the smaller result and is therefore the limiting reactant. This works for ALL limiting reactant type problems. However, be sure to use the mole values calculated first (Ba = 0.165mol & N₂ = 0.150mol) when doing ratio calculations.

Part B: Max (theoretical) amount of Ba₃N₂ produced:

<em>Note: The product yield amounts are based upon the given 'moles' of limiting reactant, NOT the results of the 'divide by respective coefficient' step used to ID the limiting reactant.     </em>

                   3Ba        +          N₂         =>     Ba₃N₂    (3:1 rxn ratio for Ba:Ba₃N₂)

moles      0.165mole        0.150mole         1/3(0.165)mole = 0.055mole Ba₃N₂

                                                                    = 0.055mol(440g/mol) Ba₃N₂

                                                                    = 24.2 grams Ba₃N₂ (as based

                                                                     upon Barium as Limiting Reactant)

Part C: Excess N₂ remaining after reaction stops:

From balanced standard reaction, the reaction ratio for Ba:N₂ is 3moles:1mole. That is, for the moles of Ba consumed, 1/3(moles of Ba) =  moles of N₂ used.

moles of N₂ used = 1/3(0.165)mole = 0.055mole N₂ used  

∴ the amount of N₂ remaining in excess = 0.150mole (given) - 0.055mole (used) = 0.095mole N₂ remaining in excess.

mass N₂ remaining = 0.095mole x 28g/mole = 2.66 grams N₂ remaining in excess.

Answer:

During Glycolysis 2 molecules of NADH are formed.

Explanation:

When the glycolytic intermediate glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate is converted to 1,3-bisphosphoglycerate by the catalytic activity of glyceraldehyde -3-phosphate dehydrogenase at that time 2 molecules of NAD+ undergo reduction to form 2 molecules of NADH.

   The so formed NADH enters into the electron transport chain to generate ATP.

Here is the whole question
Aleks04 [339]
Saturated oils are oils where every carbon is sp3 hybridized and attached to two other carbons and two hydrogen. An unsaturated oil features a pi bond and a sigma bond between one or more carbons. This sigma bond interacts with Br2 by way of an addition reaction, the double bond is broken and two bromine are added to the carbon chain. The resulting structure is colorless so in a way the oil absorbs the colored Br2 into a colorless molecule. So, the more Saturated an oil is, the more Br2 it can accept and that's why Br2 can be used to detect the presence of satiated oils. While adding Br2, the solution will stay colorless as long as there are double bonds to accept it.

Hope this makes sense, if you've talked about reaction mechanisms this should be pretty straightforward.

What is the new volume of a 61 L sample at STP that is moved to 183 K and 0.60 atm?
Volgvan

Answer: The new volume of a 61 L sample at STP that is moved to 183 K and 0.60 atm is 54.63 L.

Explanation:

Given: V_{1} = 61 L,      T_{1} = 183 K,      P_{1} = 0.60 atm

At STP, the value of pressure is 1 atm and temperature is 273.15 K.

Now, formula used to calculate the new volume is as follows.

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

Substitute the values into above formula as follows.

\frac{P_{1}V_{1}}{T_{1}} = \frac{P_{2}V_{2}}{T_{2}}\\\frac{0.60 atm \times 61 L}{183 K} = \frac{1 atm \times V_{2}}{273.15 K}\\V_{2} = 54.63 L

Thus, we can conclude that the new volume of a 61 L sample at STP that is moved to 183 K and 0.60 atm is 54.63 L.
