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.

Amanda [17]

Answer:

The answer is explained below

Explanation:

Put the steps of the carbon cycle in order using Step 1 as your starting point

Step 1: Bacteria, through nitrogen fixation and nitrification, convert nitrogen into a usable form. The animal dies and decomposes, returning nitrogen back to the soil. Once nitrogen is in usable form, it is taken up by plants and assimilated into proteins.. An animal eats a plant and the nitrogen becomes part of the animal’s proteins.

The steps taking in the carbon circle using step 1 as the starting point is as follows:

Step 1: Bacteria, through nitrogen fixation and nitrification, convert nitrogen into a usable form.

Bacteria convert nitrogen into nitrites and nitrates through the process of nitrification. Nitrites and nitrates are in the form that can be used by the plants

Step 2: Once nitrogen is in usable form, it is taken up by plants and assimilated into proteins.

The Nitrogen can only be used by the plants when in nitrites and nitrates form. When in this form, it is then assimilated into plant tissue as protein.

Step 3: An animal eats a plant and the nitrogen becomes part of the animal’s proteins.

An animal such as rabbit eats the plant and the protein in the plant becomes protein in the animal.

Step 4: The animal dies and decomposes, returning nitrogen back to the soil.

When the animal dies, the animal undergoes decomposition and the nitrogen in the animal is returned to the soil

Calculate the number of miles of NH4SO4 in 250 ml of a 1.5 M solution

ahrayia [7]

I’m guessing you mean moles. So the big M stands for mol/L. That means first you’d want to convert your mL to L. To do this write your 250mL then make parenthesis for the conversion. 1L=1000mL
250mL(1L/1000mL). Since the mL is on the bottom in the parenthesis we can cancel them out. Now all we do is divide and keep the L.
.250L is what you get. Now we need to figure out how to cancel the L with what we have left. We know M stands for Moles/L so this means in order to get ride of L we need to multiply our new number times the 1.5
.250L X 1.5 moles
_______

1L
This gives us 0.375 moles NH4SO4

¿Cuántos moles de bióxido de Nitrógeno (NO 2) se forman cuando reaccionan 5 moles de Nitrógeno (N 2)?

o-na [289]

Answer:

10 moles de NO2

Explanation:

Tenemos la ecuación de la reacción como sigue;

N2 (g) + 2 O2 (g) → 2 NO2 (g)

Asi que;

Si 1 mol de nitrógeno produce 2 moles de NO2

5 moles de nitrógeno producirán 5 * 2/1 = 10

Por tanto, se producen 10 moles de NO2 moles
