Consider the reaction of 2.5 grams of Li (s) reacting with 0.5 grams of N2 (g) to produce Li3N (s). A) How many total grams of Li3 N (s) would be produced? B) Which of the starting elements is the limiting reagent, and how many grams of the non-limiting reagent remain after the reaction has completed?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

A) The amount in grams of Li₃N produced is 1.243 g

B) N₂, is the limiting reagent

The mass of the non-limiting reagent, Li, remaining after the reaction is completed is 1.757 g

Explanation:

The given parameters are;

The mass of Li(s) = 2.5 grams

The mass of N₂ (g) = 0.5 grams

The chemical equation for the reaction can be presented as follows;

6 Li (s) + N₂ (g) → 2 Li₃N

Therefore, 6 moles of Li reacts with 1 mole of N₂  to produce 2 moles of Li₃N

The molar mass of Li = 6.941 g/mol

The molar mass of N₂ = 28.0134 g/mol

The number of moles of a reactant or product, n is given by the relation;

n = Mass of substance/(Molar mass of the substance)

For lithium, Li, n = 2.5/6.941 = 0.3602 moles

For Nitrogen gas, N₂, n = 0.5/28.0134  = 0.01785 moles

A) Given that 1 mole of  N₂ to produces 2 moles of Li₃N

0.01785  moles of  N₂ will produces 2×0.01785 = 0.0357 moles of Li₃N

The molar mass of Li₃N = 34.83 g/mol

The mass of Li₃N = 34.83 g/mol × 0.0357 moles = 1.243 g

B) 6  moles of Li reacts with 1 mole of N₂ to produce 2 moles of Li₃N

0.3602 moles will reacts with 1/6×0.3602 = 0.06003 mole of N₂

Therefore, N₂, is the limiting reagent and we have;

0.01785  moles of  N₂ will react with 6×0.01785 = 0.1071  moles of Li

The number of of moles of Li left = 0.3602 - 0.1071 =0.2531 moles

The mass of lithium left = 0.2531 moles × 6.941 g/mol = 1.757 g

The mass of lithium remaining after the reaction is completed = 1.757 g.

Answers

Answer:

The answer would be C.

Explanation:

I took a test with the same question.

The activation energy is very high. Hence, option C is correct.

What is activation energy?

Activation energy is the sufficient amount of energy necessary to initiate a chemical reaction.

When sodium hydroxide (NaOH) dissolves in water, it is distributed into positively-charged sodium ions and negatively - charged hydroxide ions.

These cations and anions move around in the water, free and independent of each other, though cations tend to be surrounded more closely by anions and vice versa.

Hence, when sodium hydroxide and water will react at room temperature, the activation energy is very high.

which statement best describes a mole? it is 12 units of a given substance. it contains 6.02 1023 grams of sodium chloride. it is the mass of 12 carbon atoms. it contains 6.02 1023 particles of a given substance.

Answers

Answer:

The correct option is;

It contains 6.02 × 10²³ particles of a given substance

Explanation:

A mole of substance is the standard scientific unit of measurement for the quantity of the substance which is made up of a large number of small particles such as molecules, ions, atoms, electrons or other entities.

The General Conference on Weights and Measures defines the mole as the amount of a substance that contains 6.02214076 × 10²³ units of entities

The number 6.02214076 × 10²³, is also known as Avogadro's number.

The statement which correctly describes the mole is; it contains 6.02 × 10^23 particles of a given substance.

The mole refers to the amount of substance that contains the same number of elementary entities as 12 g of carbon - 12. According to Avogadro's law, the number of elementary entities in a substance is 6.02 × 10^23. These elementary entities could be atoms, ions, molecules etc.

Therefore, the statement which correctly describes the mole is; it contains 6.02 × 10^23 particles of a given substance.

A gas has a volume of 25.0 mL at 2.50 atm. What is the volume at 457 mmHg if the temperature remains constant?

Answers

Answer:

≈ 0.104 liters  

Explanation:

We can use Boyle's Law: [tex]P_{1}V_{1} = P_{2}V_{2}[/tex]

P₁ = 2.50 atm

V₁ = 25.0 mL

P₂ = 457 mmHg

V₂ = ?

Because pressure should be in atm we will convert 457 mmHg to units in atm:

1 atm = 760mmHg so we can divide 457 by 760 and we get ≈ 0.601atm

Next we can plug in the units to the equation for Boyle's Law:

(2.50)(25.0) = (0.601)(V₂)

Solve for V₂

V₂ will give you ≈ 104mL or 0.104L

Either is correct depending on which unit they are asking you to use

A student made the Lewis dot diagram of a compound as shown. Mg is written with two dots shown on its top. Cl is written on the right side of Mg. Cl has seven dots around it. An arrow is shown from one dot on Mg toward the vacant space around Cl. Another arrow is shown from the other dot on Mg toward the vacant space around Cl. On the top, the art title is written as Students Lewis Dot Model. What is the error in the Lewis dot diagram?

Answers

Answer:

The dots were not properly located and arrows are not used in Lewis structures

Explanation:

If we intend to write a Lewis structure for a compound, that lewis structure must consist of only dots. These dots actually show the valence electrons on the outermost shell of the molecule.

We do not involve arrows when writing dot electron structures for compounds. The valence electrons of magnesium ought not to be written together because they are not a lone pair, rather they are two unpaired electrons. The use of an arrow suggests a coordinate covalent bond which is not the case here.

El pH es una medida en química usada para determinar el grado de acidez o basicidad en una solución.

Se define como:

pH = -log₁₀ [H⁺]

El - logaritmo de la concentración molar de H⁺

Para las concentraciones de H⁺ dadas:

• [H+] = 0.001 M

pH = 3.0

• [H+] = 0.002 M

pH = -log (0.002M)

pH = 2.70

• [H+] = 2.45X10-4 M

pH = -log (2.45X10-4 M )

pH = 3.61

• [H+] = 5.2X10-9 M

Explanation:

The separation of all the species listed in the answer options for the question depends on the molar mass of each specie.

Ethane is a low molecular mass gas. It exists in the gaseous state at room temperature. However, heptadecane appears as a liquid because it has a greater relative molecular mass.

Given that the density of air is 14.4, then the vapour of sulphur IV oxide is A. 16 B. 32 C. 64 D. 128
Thank you.

Answers

Answer:

32

Explanation:

The vapour density of a gas is the number of times a given volume of gas or vapour is as heavy as the same volume of hydrogen at a particular temperature and pressure.

Vapour density = 2 × relative molecular mass of the gas or vapour

Relative molecular mass of SO2 = 32 + 2(16) = 64

Hence;

Vapour density of SO2 = 64/2

Vapour density of SO2 = 32

Explanation:

The following data were obtained from the question:

Energy required (Q) =...?

Mass (M) = 10000 g

Specific heat capacity (C) = 2.01 J/g°C

Overheating temperature (T2) = 121°C

Working temperature (T1) = 91°C

Change in temperature (ΔT) =.?

Change in temperature (ΔT) =T2 – T1

Change in temperature (ΔT) = 121 – 91

Change in temperature (ΔT) = 30°C

Finally, we shall determine the energe required to overheat the car as follow:

Q = MCΔT

Q = 10000 × 2.01 × 30

Q = 603000 J

Therefore, 603000 J of energy is required to overheat the car.

According to the table, a 23-30 watt CFL provides __________ lumens and is equivalent to a ________ incandescent bulb.

Answers

Answer:

The correct options are;

1. 1,600

2. 100 Watts

A 23-30 watt CFL provides 1,600 lumens and is equivalent to a 100 Watts incandescent bulb

Explanation:

Brightness is measured in lumens and watts measure energy usage therefore with the use of an energy saving light bulb, the same lumination can be obtained at a lower energy usage.

According to a comparison chart for LED Lights vs. Incandescent Light Bulbs vs. Compact Fluorescents (CFLs) from USAI lightening website 23-30 watts CFL has a light output of 1,600 and is therefore produces enough light as a 100 Watts Incandescent Light Bulb

Also according to energy.gov website, CFLs save up to 75% energy such that a 23-30 watt CFL can produce the same illumination as a 100 watt incandescent bulb

Therefore we have, a 23-30 watt CFL provides 1,600 lumens and is equivalent to a 100 Watts incandescent bulb.
