The concept of determining which reactant is limiting and which is in excess is akin to determining the number of sandwiches that can be made from a set number of ingredients. Assuming that a cheese sandwich consists of 2 slices of bread and 3 slices of cheese, determine the number of whole cheese sandwiches that can be prepared from 36 slices of bread and 45 slices of cheese. number of sandwiches: Which of the two ingredients limits the number of sandwiches that can be made? slices of cheese slices of bread What quantity of the ingredient in excess remains? mistry Publisher: University Scienc

3.18 Diborane and related compounds were proposed as rocket fuels in the 1950s. A representative reaction for this class of molecules is that of B2H6 and O2 to form B2O3 and H2O. Write the balanced chemical equation for this process.
Bacterial digestion is an economical method of sewage treatment. The reaction is an intermediate step in the conversion of the nitrogen in organic compounds into nitrate ions. What mass of bacterial tissue is produced in a treatment plant for every 1.0 104 kg of wastewater containing 3.0% NH4+ ions by mass? Assume that 95% of the ammonium ions are consumed by the bacteria.
Many cereals are made with high moisture content so that the cereal can be formed into various shapes before it is dried. A cereal product containing 58% H2O by mass is produced at the rate of 1000. kg/h. What mass of water must be evaporated per hour if the final product contains only 20.% water?
When elemental phosphorus, P4, burns in oxygen gas, it produces an intensely bright light, a great deal of heat, and massive clouds of white solid phosphorus(V) oxide (P2O5) product. Given these properties, it is not surprising that phosphorus has been used to manufacture incendiary bombs for warfare. Write the unbalanced equation for the reaction of phosphorus with oxygen gas to produce phosphorus(V) oxide.
Explain how an equation can be balanced even if the number of reactant particles differs from the number of product particles.
Classify each of the following statements as true or false: a In a chemical reaction, reacting substances are destroyed and new substances are formed. b A chemical equation expresses the quantity relationships between reactants and products in terms of moles. c Elements combine to form compounds in combination reactions. d Compounds decompose into elements in decomposition reactions. e A nonmetal cannot replace a nonmetal in a single replacement reaction.
