Write an equation from the following description: reactants are gaseous NH3 and O2, products are gaseous NO2 and liquid H2O, and the stoichiometric coefficients are 4, 7, 4, and 6, respectively.
When asked, “What is the limiting reactant?” you might be tempted to choose the reactant with the smallest mass. Why is this not a good strategy?
In a common experiment in the general chemistry laboratory, magnesium metal is heated in air to produce MgO. MgO is a white solid, but in these experiments it often looks gray, due to small amounts of Mg3N2, a compound formed as some of the magnesium reacts with nitrogen. Write a balanced equation for each reaction.
