Reactant C is the limiting reactant in this scenario.

Explanation:

The reactant in the balanced chemical reaction which gives the smaller amount or moles of product is the limiting reagent.

Balanced chemical reaction is:

A + 2B + 3C → 2D + E

number of moles

A = 0.50 mole

B = 0.60 moles

C = 0.90 moles

Taking A as the reactant

1 mole of A reacted to form 2 moles of D

0.50 moles of A will produce $\frac{2}{1}$ = $\frac{x}{0.50}$

thus 0.50 moles of A will produce 1 mole of D

Taking B as the reactant

2 moles of B reacted to form 2 moles of D

0.60 moles of B reacted to form x moles of D

$\frac{2}{2}$ = $\frac{x}{0.6}$

x = 2 moles of D is produced.

Taking C as the reactant:

3 moles of C reacted to form 2 moles of D

O.9 moles of C reacted to form x moles of D

$\frac{2}{3}$ = $\frac{x}{0.9}$

= 0.60 moles of D is formed.

Thus C is the limiting reagent in the given reaction as it produces smallest mass of product.

What is the ratio of the concentration of potassium ions to the concentration of carbonate ions in a 0.015 m solution of potassi

tia_tia [17]

The ratio of the concentration of potassium ions (K⁺) to the concentration of carbonate ions (CO₃²⁻) = 2: 1

<h3>Further explanation</h3>

Stochiometry in Chemistry studies about chemical reactions mainly emphasizes quantitative, such as the calculation of volume, mass, amount, which is related to the number of actions, molecules, elements, etc.

Reaction equations are chemical formulations for reagents and product substances

Reaction coefficients are numbers in the chemical formula of substances involved in the reaction equation. Reaction coefficients are useful for balancing reagents and products.

The reaction coefficient shows the ratio of the number of moles or molecules of the reacting substance

The ionization reaction is the reaction of the decomposition of a substance into its ions when the substance is dissolved in water.

Molarity (M)

Molarity shows the number of moles of solute in every 1 liter of solution.

$\large{\boxed {\bold {M ~ = ~ \frac {n} {V}}}$

Electrolytes will dissociate into ions when dissolved in water

While non-electrolyte solutions do not produce ions

Electrolyte solutions can be

1. Electrolytes are strong if in a solution can be fully ionized usually expressed by the degree of ionization α = 1

2. Electrolytes are weak if in ions the solution is only partially ionized. The degree of ionization ranges from 0 <α <1

Potassium carbonate (K₂CO₃) will dissociate into ions

K₂CO₃ ⇒ 2K⁺+ CO₃²⁻

Comparison of reaction coefficients = mole ratio = concentration ratio for the same volume, so

The mole ratio of the ions is

K⁺ : CO₃²⁻ = 2: 1

This comparison also shows the ratio of concentrations of ions: (K₂CO₃ concentration = 0.015 M)

K⁺: CO₃²⁻ = 2.0.015: 1.0.015

K⁺: CO₃²⁻ = 0.03: 0.015 = 2: 1

The image shows a wheel that's wound up and released. The wheel moves up and down as shown. Identify the position of the wheel w

Lesechka [4]

Explanation:

Since the wheel moves up and down, the position that represents the potential energy is that which has the maximum height from the ground.

Potential energy is the energy at rest of a body.

It is given as:

Potential energy = m x g x h

m is the mass of the body

g is the acceleration due to gravity

h is the height of the body

We can see that mass and height are directly related to the potential energy a body exerts.

The higher the wheel from ground, the higher its potential energy.

As you may know, ethyl alcohol, C2H5OH, can be produced by the fermentation of grains, which contain glucose, C6H12O6 → +2C2H5OH

fredd [130]

Answer:

a. 510.6 g of C₂H₅OH are produced from 1kg of glucose

b. 171.1 g of glucose are required

Explanation:

Chemist reaction is this:

C₆H₁₂O₆ → 2C₂H₅OH(l) + 2CO₂(g)

So 1 mol of glucose can produce 1 mol of ethyl alcohol.

First of all, we should convert the mass to g, afterwards to moles

1 kg . 1000 g/ 1kg = 1000 g . 1 mol/180 g = 5.55 moles

Then we can think, this rule of three

1 mol of glucose can produce 2 moles of ethyl alcohol

Then 5.55 moles of glucose may produce the double of moles of C₂H₅OH

(5.55 .2)/1 = 11.1 moles.

Let's convert the moles to mass → 11.1 mol . 46g /1mol = 510.6 g

b. Let's determine the liters of ethyl alcohol we need.

1 gasohol is 10 mL C₂H₅OH / 90 ml of gasoline. We should make a rule of three.

In 90 mL of gasoline we have 10 mL of C₂H₅OH

In 1000 mL (1L) we would have (1000 . 10)/ 90 = 111.1 mL

Now we have to determine the mass of C₂H₅OH that is contained in the volume we have calculated. We must use the density.

Density = Mass /Volume

0.79 g/mL = Mass / 111.1 mL

0.79 g/mL . 111.1 mL = 87.7 g

Now, we convert the mass to moles → 87.7 g . 1mol/ 46g = 1.91 mol

Ratio is 2:1 so 2 moles of C₂H₅OH are produced by 1 mol of glucose

Therefore 1.91 mol would be produced by (1.91 .1)/2 = 0.954 moles

Finally we convert the moles of glucose to mass:

0.954 mol . 180 g/ 1mol = 171.7 grams.

What is the difference in height between the top surface of the glycerin and the top surface of the alcohol? Suppose that the de

Snezhnost [94]

Here is the full question

Glycerin is poured into an open U-shaped tube until the height in both sides is 20 cm. Ethyl alcohol is then poured into one arm until the height of the alcohol column is 10 cm. The two liquids do not mix.

What is the difference in height between the top surface of the glycerin and the top surface of the alcohol? Suppose that the density of glycerin is 1260 kg/m3and the density of alcohol is 790 kg/m3.

Express your answer in two significant figures and include the appropriate units (in cm)

Answer:

ΔH ≅ 3.73 cm

Explanation:

The pressure inside a liquid is known as hydrostatic pressure and which is represent by the formula:

P = ρ × g × h

where;

ρ is the density of the fluid

g is the gravitational constant

h is the height from the surface

From the question above;

For glycerine; we have:
