You have to use Avogadro's number (6.02x10^23 molecules/mole) to find the number of moles each reactant starts off with.
moles of Fe and O₂:
12 atoms/(6.02x10^23 atoms/mole)=1.99x10^-23 mol Fe
6 molecules/(6.02x10^23 molecules/mole)=9.967x10^-24 mol <span>O₂
</span>Then you find the limiting reagent by finding how much product each given amount of reactant can make. Which ever one produces the least amount of product is the limiting reagent.
amount of Fe₂O₃ produced:
<span>(1.99x10^-23 mol Fe)x(2mol/4mol)= 9.967x10^-24mol Fe</span>₂O₃<span>
</span>(9.967x10^-24 mol O₂)x(2mol/3mol)= 6.645x10^-24 mol Fe₂O₃<span>
</span>since oxygen produces the leas amount of product, oxygen is the limiting reagent. since we know that oxygen is the limiting reagent we can use the amount of product formed with oxygen to find the amount of iron used.
6.645x10^-24 mol Fe₂O₃x(4mol/2mol)=1.329x10^-23 mol Fe consumed
<span> find the amount left over by subtracting the original amount of Fe by the amount consumed in the reaction.
</span>1.993x10^-23-1.329x10^-23= 6.645x10^-23mol Fe left
find the number of atoms by multiplying that by Avogadro's number.
<span>(6.645x10^-23mol)x(6.02x10^23 atoms/mol)=4 atoms
</span>therefore 4 atoms of Fe will be left over after the reaction happens.
I hope this helps.
Answer:
Explanation:
Given parameters:
number of moles magnesium = 6.80mol
number of moles of chlorine = 13.56mol
To find the complete chemical formula, we should obtain the formula of the compound.
Mg Cl
Number of
moles 6.8 13.56
Dividing
by the smallest 6.8/6.8 13.56/6.8
1 2
The formula of the compound is MgCl₂
This is an ionic compound in which Magnesium loses two electrons that would be gained by Cl atoms requiring just an electron each to complete their octet.
Answer:
Ozone is a gas made up of three oxygen atoms (O3). It occurs naturally in small (trace) amounts in the upper atmosphere (the stratosphere). Ozone protects life on Earth from the Sun's ultraviolet (UV) radiation.
