- High cost and limited availability of a reactant often dictate which reactant is limiting in a particular process. Identify the limiting reactant when the reactions below are run, and come up with a reason to support your decision. a. Burning charcoal on a grill: C(s)+O2(g)CO2(g) b. Burning a chunk of Mg in water: Mg(s)+2H2O(l)Mg(OH)2(aq)+H2(g) c. The Haber process of ammonia production: 3H2(g)+N2(g)2NH3(g)arrow_forward4.8 In an experiment carried out at very low pressure, 13x1015 molecules of H2 are reacted with acetylene, C2H2, to form ethane, C2H6, on the surface of a catalyst. Write a balanced chemical equation for this reaction. How many molecules of acetylene are consumed?arrow_forwardAmmonia can be formed from a combination reaction of its elements. A small fraction of an unreacted mixture of elements is illustrated in the following diagram, in which white spheres represent hydrogen atoms and blue spheres represent nitrogen atoms. The temperature is such that all species are gases. a Write and balance the equation for the reaction. b Which of the following correctly represents the product mixture? c Which species is the limiting reactant?

(b) If 200 oxygen molecules are used up in this reaction, how many sulfur molecules react? (c) How many sulfur dioxide molecules are formed in part (b)?arrow_forwardExplain how an equation can be balanced even if the number of reactant particles differs from the number of product particles.arrow_forwardAmmonia can be formed by a direct reaction of nitrogen and hydrogen. N2(g) + 3 H2(g) 2 NH3(g) A tiny portion of the starting mixture is represented by the diagram, where the blue circles represent N and the white circles represent H. Which of these represents the product mixture? For the reaction of the given sample, which of these statements is true? (a) N2 is the limiting reactant. (b) H2 is the limiting reactant.

- 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.arrow_forwardCalcium carbonate forms carbon dioxide and calcium oxide when it is heated above 900 °C in a limekiln. When heated to 1000 °C in a laboratory, 4.31 g calcium carbonate produces 2.40 g calcium oxide and 1.90 g carbon dioxide. Outline a method similar to combustion analysis by which you could determine the empirical formula for calcium carbonate from these data. Carry out the determination.arrow_forward
