Concept Introduction:
Mole is the amount of the substance that contains the same number of particles or atoms or molecules. Molar mass is defined as average mass of atoms present in the chemical formula. It is the sum of the atomic masses of all the atoms present in the chemical formula of any compound.

- Ammonia 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. (c) NH, is the limiting reactant. (d) No reactant is limiting: they are present in the correct stoichiometric ratio.arrow_forwardFor this reaction, fill in the table with the indicated quantities for the balanced equation. 4 NH3(g) + 5 O2(g) → 4 NO(g) + 6 H2O(g)arrow_forward4.72 The picture shown depicts the species present at the start of a combustion reaction between methane, CH4 and oxygen, O2 (a) What is the limiting reactant?

- Classify each of the following statements as true or false: a Coefficients in a chemical equation express the molar proportions among both reactants and products. b A stoichiometry problem can be solved with an unbalanced equation. c In solving a stoichiometry problem, the change from quantity of given substance to quantity of wanted substance is based on masses. d Percentage yield is actual yield expressed as a percentage of ideal yield. e The quantity of product of any reaction can be calculated only through the moles of the limiting reactant. f rH is positive for an endothermic reaction and negative for an exothermic reaction.arrow_forwardBalance the following chemical equation, and then answer the question below. :math>CuSO4(aq)+KI(s)CuI(s)+I2(s)+K2SO4(aq) ich reactant is the limiting reactant? Choose the best answer. th CuSO4and Kl are equally limiting because they react in a 1:1 mole ratio. i>CuSO4is the limiting reactant because only 2 moles are available compared with 4 moles of Kl. i>Kl is the limiting reactant because it is present in excess. i>Neither CuSO4 nor Kl is a limiting reactant because 6 total moles are present on the reactant side compared with 5 total moles on the product side. i>The limiting reactant cannot be determined because the starting amounts are not given.arrow_forwardSmall quantities of oxygen gas can be generated in the laboratory by the decomposition of hydrogen peroxide.

D Was there a limiting reactant in this reaction? If so, what was it? Write a balanced chemical equation for this reaction. As usual, your equation should use the smallest possible whole number coefficients for all substances.arrow_forwardFor each of the following unbalanced reactions, suppose exactly 5.00 g of each reactant is taken.
