Limiting reactants would appreciate the help

Chemistry
1 answer:
Vanyuwa [196]2 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.

Based on the three formulas shown, use one of them to solve for the purple yellow and red box and explain how you did it.
zysi [14]

P = 11.133 atm (purple)

T = -236.733 °C(yellow)

n = 0.174 mol(red)

<h3>Further explanation  </h3>

Some of the laws regarding gas, can apply to ideal gas (volume expansion does not occur when the gas is heated),:  

  • Boyle's law at constant T, P = 1 / V  
  • Charles's law, at constant P, V = T  
  • Avogadro's law, at constant P and T, V = n  

So that the three laws can be combined into a single gas equation, the ideal gas equation  

In general, the gas equation can be written  

\large {\boxed {\bold {PV = nRT}}}

where  

P = pressure, atm  

V = volume, liter  

n = number of moles  

R = gas constant = 0.08206 L.atm / mol K  

T = temperature, Kelvin  

To choose the formula used, we refer to the data provided

Because the data provided are temperature, pressure, volume and moles, than we use the formula PV = nRT

  • Purple box

T= 10 +273.15 = 373.15 K

V=5.5 L

n=2 mol

\tt P=\dfrac{nRT}{V}\\\\P=\dfrac{2\times 0.08205\times 373.15}{5.5}\\\\P=11.133~atm

  • Yellow box

V=8.3 L

P=1.8 atm

n=5 mol

\tt T=\dfrac{PV}{nR}\\\\T=\dfrac{1.8\times 8.3}{5\times 0.08205}\\\\T=36.42~K=-236.733^oC

  • Red box

T = 12 + 273.15 = 285.15 K

V=3.4 L

P=1.2 atm

\tt n=\dfrac{PV}{RT}\\\\n=\dfrac{1.2\times 3.4}{0.08205\times 285.15}\\\\n=0.174~mol

Does anyone know what Hydrogen's oxidation state would be if it was acting as an anion non-metal?
Ilia_Sergeevich [38]

Answer:

yeah,The oxidation state of an atom does not represent the "real" charge on that atom, or any other actual atomic property.Hydrogen has OS = +1, but adopts −1 when bonded as a hydride to metals or metalloids. Oxygen in compounds has OS = −2. This set of postulates covers .

what is the effect of using higher concentration of sodium hydrogen carbonate on the rate of reaction?
Alex
Increasing the concentration of one or more reactants will often increase the rate of reaction. This occurs because a higher concentration of a reactant will lead to more collisions of that reactant in a specific time period.

Reaction rate increases with concentration, as described by the rate law and explained by collision theory. As reactant concentration increases, the frequency of collision increases. The rate of gaseous reactions increases with pressure, which is, in fact, equivalent to an increase in concentration of the gas.
