Concept explainers
Interpretation:
The two containers along with the products of the reaction between dinitrogen and dioxygen along with unreacted molecules have to be redrawn.
Concept Introduction:
In any stoichiometric balanced equation; the reactant that is present in the least amount and that governs the amount of products formed is known as limiting reactant.
Prior to the identification of the limiting reactant; a balanced equation is written and then the amount of each reactant in grams is converted to corresponding moles. Further on the basis of the stoichiometric molar ratio by which reactants combine, the amount of product formed from each of the reactants is calculated.
The reactant that forms a smaller amount of product gives us the limiting reactant. The reactant that remains in excess when the entire limiting reactant has been consumed is known as the excess reactant.

- Describe what happens o the average kinetic energy of ideal gas molecules when the conditions are changed as follows: (a) The pressure of the gas is increased by reducing the volume at constant temperature. (b) The pressure of the gas is increased by increasing the temperature at constant volume. (c) The average velocity of the molecules is increased by a factor of 2.arrow_forwardLiquid oxygen was first prepared by heating potassium chlorate, KClO3, in a closed vessel to obtain oxygen at high pressure. The oxygen was cooled until it liquefied. 2KClO3(s)2KCl(s)+3O2(g) If 171 g of potassium chlorate reacts in a 2.70-L vessel, which was initially evacuated, what pressure of oxygen will be attained when the temperature is finally cooled to 25C? Use the preceding chemical equation and ignore the volume of solid product.arrow_forward
