Answer:

An atom is a particle of matter that uniquely defines achemical element. An atom consists of a central nucleus that is usually surrounded by one or more electrons. Each electron is negatively charged. The nucleus is positively charged, and contains one or more relatively heavy particles known as protons and neutrons.

What do you look at to tell the reactivity of an atom?
tia_tia [17]

Answer:

The number of electrons in the outermost shell of an atom determines its reactivity. Noble gases have low reactivity because they have full electron shells. Halogens are highly reactive because they readily gain an electron to fill their outermost shell.

What does intrinsic mean in science
quester [9]

An intrinsic property is independent of how much of a material is present and is independent of the form of the material, one large piece or a collection of small particles. Intrinsic properties are dependent mainly on the fundamental chemical composition and structure of the material.

Ammonia is produced by the following reaction. 3H2(g) N2(g) Right arrow. 2NH3(g) When 7. 00 g of hydrogen react with 70. 0 g of
harkovskaia [24]

In the ammonia production process given by the reaction 3H₂(g) + N₂(g) → 2NH₃(g), when 7.00 g of hydrogen react with 70.0 g of nitrogen, hydrogen is considered the limiting reactant because <u>7.5 moles of hydrogen would be needed to consume the available nitrogen</u> (option 1).

The reaction is the following:

3H₂(g) + N₂(g) → 2NH₃(g)   (1)

To know why hydrogen is considered the limiting reactant, we need to calculate the number of moles of nitrogen and hydrogen with the following equation:

n = \frac{m}{M}

Where:    

m: is the mass

M: is the molar mass

  • For <em>hydrogen </em>we have:

n_{H_{2}} = \frac{m}{M} = \frac{7.00 g}{2.016 g/mol} = 3.47 \:moles

  • And for <em>nitrogen</em>:

n_{N_{2}} = \frac{m}{M} = \frac{70.0 g}{28.013 g/mol} = 2.50 \:moles

We can see in reaction (1) that <u>3 moles of hydrogen</u> react with <u>1 mol of nitrogen</u>, so the number of hydrogen moles needed to react nitrogen is:

n_{H_{2}} = \frac{3\:moles\:H_{2}}{1\:moles\:N_{2}}*n_{N_{2}} = \frac{3\:moles\:H_{2}}{1\:moles\:N_{2}}*2.50 \:moles = 7.50 \:moles

Since we have <u>3.47 moles of hydrogen</u> and we need <u>7.50 moles</u> to react with all the mass of nitrogen, the <em>limiting reactant</em> is <em>hydrogen</em>.

We can find the number of ammonia moles produced with the limiting reactant (hydrogen) konwing that <u>3 moles of hydrogen</u> produces <u>2 moles of ammonia</u>, so:

n_{NH_{3}} = \frac{2\:moles\:NH_{3}}{3\:moles\:H_{2}}*n_{H_{2}} = \frac{2\:moles\:NH_{3}}{3\:moles\:H_{2}}*3.47 \:moles = 2.31 \:moles

Hence, hydrogen would produce <u>2.31 moles of ammonia</u>.

Therefore, hydrogen is the limiting reactant because <u>7.5 moles of hydrogen would be needed to consume the available nitrogen</u> (option 1).
