- What is meant by a limiting reactant in a particular reaction? In what way is the reaction “limited”? What does it mean to say that one or more of the reactants are present in excess? What happens to a reaction when the limiting reactant is used up?arrow_forwardWrite 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.arrow_forwardThe pictures below show a molecular-scale view of a chemical reaction between H2 and CO to produce methanol, CH3OH The box on the left represents the reactants at the instant of mixing, and the box on the right shows what is left once the reaction has gone to completion. 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_forward
- It is stated in Section 6.3 of the text that to balance equations by inspection you start “with the most complicated molecule.” What does this mean? Why is it best to do this?arrow_forwardOn Easter Sunday, April 3, 1983, nitric acid spilled from a tank car near downtown Denver, Colorado. The spill was neutralized with sodium carbonate: 2HNO3(aq)+Na2CO3(aq)2NaNO3(aq)+H2O(l)+CO2(g) a. Calculate H for this reaction. Approximately 2.0 104 gal nitric acid was spilled. Assume that the acid was an aqueous solution containing 70.0% HNO3 by mass with a density of 1.42 glcm3. What mass of sodium carbonate was required for complete neutralization of the spill, and what quantity of heat was evolved? (Hf for NaNO3(aq) = 467 kJ/mol) b. According to The Denver Post for April 4, 1983, authorities feared that dangerous air pollution might occur during the neutralization. Considering the magnitude of H, what was their major concern?arrow_forward3.93 Adipic acid is used in the production of nylon, so it is manufactured in large quantities.
