Limiting reactants would appreciate the help

Explanation:

The Limiting Reactant is that reactant which when consumed in a reaction stops the reaction. The other reactants will be in excess and typically considered non-reactive.

To identify the limiting reactant ...

- write and balance the reaction of interest. Express it in standard form. That is, standard form of a reaction is when the coefficients of the balanced equation are in their lowest whole number values. Also, remember that the standard equation is 'assumed' to be at STP conditions (0°C & 1atm).

- convert all given reactant values to moles

- divide each reactant mole value by the related coefficient of the the balanced standard equation. The smaller value is the limiting reactant. The remaining reactants will be in excess.  

Your Problem:

Given:        3Ba  +  N₂  => Ba₃N₂

               22.6g    4.2g        ?

moles Ba => 22.6g/137.34g/mol = 0.165 mole Ba

moles N₂ =>    4.2g/14.007g/mol= 0.150 mole N₂

Part A: Determining the Limited Reactant

Barium => 0.165/3 = 0.055  <=> (Limiting Reactant)

Nitrogen => 0.15/1 = 0.15

Part B: Max (theoretical) amount of Ba₃N₂ produced:

Note: The product yield amounts are based upon the given 'moles' of limiting reactant, NOT the results of the 'divide by respective coefficient' step used to ID the limiting reactant.    

                   3Ba        +          N₂         =>     Ba₃N₂    (3:1 rxn ratio for Ba:Ba₃N₂)

moles      0.165mole        0.150mole         1/3(0.165)mole = 0.055mole Ba₃N₂

                                                                    = 0.055mol(440g/mol) Ba₃N₂

                                                                    = 24.2 grams Ba₃N₂ (as based

                                                                     upon Barium as Limiting Reactant)

Part C: Excess N₂ remaining after reaction stops:

From balanced standard reaction, the reaction ratio for Ba:N₂ is 3moles:1mole. That is, for the moles of Ba consumed, 1/3(moles of Ba) =  moles of N₂ used.

moles of N₂ used = 1/3(0.165)mole = 0.055mole N₂ used  

∴ the amount of N₂ remaining in excess = 0.150mole (given) - 0.055mole (used) = 0.095mole N₂ remaining in excess.

mass N₂ remaining = 0.095mole x 28g/mole = 2.66 grams N₂ remaining in excess.

distance, luminosity, brightness, radius, chemical composition, and temperature

a. energy is absorbed in the reaction.

if in a given reaction the energy of products is greater than the energy of reactants it means that reaction is endothermic and during the reaction, the energy is absorbed by reactants. in an endothermic reaction, the products have more stored chemical energy than the reactants. and in this reaction the reactants are more stable than products before the compounds with less energy are always more stable.
