Explanation:
An alpha particles is basically a helium nucleus and it contains 2 protons and 2 neutrons.
Symbol of an alpha particle is . Whereas a neutron is represented by a symbol
, that is, it has zero protons and only 1 neutron.
Therefore, reaction equation when an aluminum- nuclide transforms into a phosphorus- nuclide by absorbing an alpha particle and emitting a neutron is as follows.
Answer: Option (c) is the correct answer.
Explanation:
A limiting reagent is defined as a reagent that completely gets consumed in a chemical reaction. A limiting reagent limits the formation of products.
For example, we have given 5 mol of A and the reaction is
Whereas when 4 mol B will react with 2 mol of A. Hence, 8 mol of B will react with 4 mol A as follows.
= 4 mol
As, the given moles of A is more than the required moles. Thus, it is considered as an excess reagent.
Hence, B is a limiting reagent because it limits the formation of products.
Thus, we can conclude that limiting reactant is the term used to describe the reactant that is used up completely and controls the amount of product that can be produced during a chemical reaction.
