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.

Describe the physical and chemical weathering​
Stella [2.4K]

Answer:

Physical weathering is caused by purely mechanical changes to the rock, while chemical weathering is caused by chemical reactions.

Explanation:

Chemical weathering happens when the chemicals get diluted and dissolved in water and seep and percolate down the rock surfaces.

Physical weathering happens when rocks are fragmented into minor fragments while ensuring no alterations in their chemical makeup. The main causes behind physical weathering include spontaneous fluctuations in temperature like too high or too low heat or cold

For the reaction so3 + h2o h2so4, calculate the percent yield if 500. g of sulfur trioxide react with excess water to produce 57
Lelu [443]
The %  yield  if  500 g of  sulfur trioxide  reacted  with  excess  water to   produce  575 g  of  sulfuric  acid is calculated using  the  below  formula


%  yield = actual  yield/ theoretical  yield  x100

actual  yield =575 grams
to  calculate  theoretical  yield
find the  moles  of SO3   used =mass/molar  mass
=  500g/   80 g/mol =6.25  moles

SO3+H2O=H2SO4
by   use of  mole ratio  of SO3  :  H2SO4 which  is 1:1  the moles of H2SO4  is  also=  6.25  moles

the theoretical  yield of H2SO4 is therefore =  moles /molar  mass
=  6.25  x98=  612.5 grams

%yield  is therefore= 575 g/612 g   x100=  93.9  %

Consider the following reaction: NaHCO3 + HC2H3O2 → NaC2H3O2 + H2O + CO2 How many mol of CO2 would be produced from the complete
Assoli18 [71]

Answer:

0.208mole of CO2

Explanation:

First, let us calculate the number of mole of HC3H3O2 present.

Molarity of HC3H3O2 = 0.833 mol/L

Volume = 25 mL = 25/100 = 0.25L

Mole =?

Mole = Molarity x Volume

Mole = 0.833 x 0.25

Mole of HC3H3O2 = 0.208mole

Now, we can easily find the number of mole of CO2 produce by doing the following:

NaHCO3 + HC2H3O2 → NaC2H3O2 + H2O + CO2

From the equation,

1mole of HC2H3O2 produced 1 mole of CO2.

Therefore, 0.208mole of HC2H3O2 will also produce 0.208mole of CO2
