1) The limiting reactant is N₂ because it is present with the lower no. of moles than H₂.

2) The amount (in grams) of excess reactant H₂ = 4.39 g.

Explanation:

Firstly, we should write the balanced equation of the reaction:

N₂ + 3H₂ → 2NH₃.

1) To determine the limiting reactant of the reaction:

From the stichiometry of the balanced equation, 1.0 mole of N₂ reacts with 3.0 moles of H₂ to produce 2.0 moles of NH₃.This means that N₂ reacts with H₂ with a ratio of (1:3).We need to calculate the no. of moles (n) of N₂ (5.23 g) and H₂ (5.52 g) using the relation: n = mass / molar mass.

The no. of moles of N₂ in (5.23 g) = mass / molar mass = (5.23 g) / (28.00 g/mol) = 0.1868 mol.

The no. of moles of H₂ (5.52 g) = mass / molar mass = (5.52 g) / (2.015 g/mol) = 2.74 mol.

From the stichiometry, N₂ reacts with H₂ with a ratio of (1:3).

The ratio of the reactants of N₂ (5.23 g, 0.1868 mol) to H₂ (5.52 g, 2.74 mol) is (1:14.67).

∴ The limiting reactant is N₂ because it is present with the lower no. of moles than H₂.

0.1868 mol of N₂ react completely with 0.5604 mol of H₂ and the remaining of H₂ is in excess.

2) To determine the amount (in grams) of excess reactant of the reaction:

As showed in the part 1, The limiting reactant is N₂ because it is present with the lower no. of moles than H₂.Also, 0.1868 mol of N₂ react completely with 0.5604 mol of H₂ and the remaining of H₂ is in excess.The no. of moles are in excess of H₂ = 2.74 mol - 0.5604 mol (reacted with N₂) = 2.1796 mol.∴ The amount (in grams) of excess reactant H₂ = n (excess moles) x molar mass = (2.1796 mol)((2.015 g/mol) = 4.39 g.

Achemical reaction (also known as a chemical change) produces substances that are chemically different from the starting materials. an example of a chemical reaction is the formation of water from hydrogen and oxygen gas.in a physical change, a substance changes its physical appearance but not its chemical identity. an example of physical change is the formation of liquid water from solid water, a familiar process called melting. physically, liquid water looks very different from solid water (ice) but the chemical identity, water, is the same for both. which of following changes that affect the composition of our atmosphere involve physical changes and which involve chemical reactions? oxygen gas changes to ozone during thunderstorms carbon dioxide is produced by the combustion of gasoline in an automobile engine. when coal, oil, and natural gas are decomposed in landsills they produce methane gas. freezing rain develops when a warm air mass overrides a cold air mass. fog forms from water vapor when the temperature drops below the dew point
