Write a balanced chemical equation for this reaction. How many molecules of acetylene are consumed?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.

- When sprayed into the flame of a torch, powdered iron reacts with oxygen from the air to form iron(III) oxide, Fe2O3: 4 Fe(s) + 3 O02(g) → 2 Fe2O3(s) If 2.50 g Fe2O3 is formed by this reaction, calculate the maximum total mass of iron metal and oxygen that reacted. Identify the stoichiometric coefficients in this equation. If 10,000 oxygen atoms reacted, calculate how many Fe atoms were needed to react with this quantity of oxygen.arrow_forwardThe reaction of equal molar amounts of benzene, C6H6, and chlorine, Cl2, carried out under special conditions completely consumes the reactants and yields a gas and a clear liquid. Analysis of the liquid shows that it contains 64.03% carbon, 4.48% hydrogen, and 31.49% chlorine, and has a molar mass of 112.5 g/mol. Write the balanced equation for this reaction.arrow_forwardThe final step in the manufacture of platinum metal (for use in automotive catalytic converters and other products) is the reaction 3 (NH4)2PtCl6(s) 3 Pt(s) + 2 NH4Cl(s) + 2 N2(g) + 16 HCl(g) Complete this table of reaction quantities for the reaction of 12.35 g (NH4)2PtCl6.arrow_forward
- Nitric acid is produced commercially by the Ostwald process, represented by the following equations: 4NH3(g)+5O24NO(g)+6H2O(g)2NO(g)+O2(g)2NO2(g)3NO2(g)+H2O(l)2HNO3(aq)+NO(g) What mass of NH3 must be used to produce 1.0 106 kg HNO3 by the Ostwald process?

- Urea is used as a fertilizer because it can react with water to release ammonia, which provides nitrogen to plants. (NH2)2CO(s) + H2O() 2 NH3(aq) + CO2(g) (a) When 300. g urea and 100. g water are combined, calculate the mass of ammonia and the mass of carbon dioxide that form. (b) Calculate the mass of the excess reactant that remains after reaction.arrow_forwardWhat mass of HCI, in grams, is required to react with 0.750 g of Al(OH)3? What mass of water, in grams, is produced? Al(OH)3(s) + 3 HCI(aq) AlCl3(aq) + 3 H2O(l)arrow_forward4.68 The pictures below show a molecular-scale view of a chemical reaction between the compounds AB2 and B2. (Green balls represent B atoms and orange balls are A atoms). 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. 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
