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

nitrogen, hydrogen is considered the limiting reactant because 7. 5 mol of hydrogen would be needed to consume the available nitrogen. 7. 5 mol of nitrogen would be needed to consume the available hydrogen. Hydrogen would produce 7. 5 mol more ammonia than nitrogen. Nitrogen would produce 7. 5 mol more ammonia than hydrogen.

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).

Which of these is a compound? <br> A. Carbon dioxide<br> B. air <br> C. carbon <br> D. oxygen
solmaris [256]

Which of these is a compound?​

Answer : A. Carbon dioxide

Explanation : Carbon dioxide is a compound of carbon and oxygen. A compound is a new substance formed by a reaction between components.

Air is mainly homogeneus mixture of nitrogen and oxygen, chemical elements. The components of a mixture can be separated once they have been combined.

Carbon is a chemical element.

Oxygen is a chemical element.

​Hope this helps!​

In chemistry, there is a class of compounds called alkanes. they have the general formula , where c stands for a carbon atom and
olga_2 [115]
Alkanes are homologous saturated hydrocarbon with a formula CnH(2n+2),
they are saturated hydrocarbon because they lack double or tripple bond between carbon atoms  and each carbon has a maximum number of bonds (4 bonds). Therefore, a hydrocarbon with 30 hydrogen will have;
  2n + 2 = 30
   2n = 28 
     n = 14
thus, 14 carbon atoms.
