- 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_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_forwardYou react nitrogen and hydrogen in a container to produce ammonia, NH3(g). The following figure depicts the contents of the container after the reaction is complete. a Write a balanced chemical equation for the reaction. b What is the limiting reactant? c How many molecules of the limiting reactant would you need to add to the container in order to have a complete reaction (convert all reactants to products)?arrow_forward
- Consider the hypothetical reaction between A2 and AB pictured below. What is the balanced equation? lf 2.50 moles of A2 are reacted with excess AB, what amount (moles) of product will form? If the mass of AB is 30.0 u and the mass of A2 are 40.0 u, what is the mass of the product? If 15.0 g of AB is reacted, what mass of A2 is required to react with all of the AB, and what mass of product is formed?arrow_forward4.14 The combustion of liquid chloroethylene, C2H3Cl, yields carbon dioxide, steam, and hydrogen chloride gas. (a) Write a balanced equation for the reaction. (b) How many moles of oxygen are required to react with 35.00 g of chloroethylene? (c) If 125.00 g of chloroethylene reacts with an excess of oxygen, how many grams of each product are formed?arrow_forwardYou are making cookies and are missing a key ingredient—eggs. You have plenty of the other ingredients, except that you have only 1.33 cups of butter and no eggs. You note that the recipe calls for 2 cups of butter and 3 eggs (plus the other ingredients) to make 6 dozen cookies. You telephone a friend and have him bring you some eggs. How many eggs do you need? If you use all the butter (and get enough eggs), how many cookies can you make? fortunately, your mend hangs up before you tell him how mans eggs you need, then he arrives, he has a surprise for you—to save time he has broken the eggs in a bowl for you. You ask him how many he brought, and he replies, All of them, but I spilled some on the way over. You weigh the eggs and find that they weigh 62.1 g. Assuming that an average egg weighs 34.21 g: How much hunger is needed to react with all the eggs? How many cookies can you make? Which will you have left over, eggs or butter? How much is kit over? Relate this question to the concepts of chemical stoichiometry.arrow_forward
