Determine the limiting reactant (LR) and the mass (in g) of nitrogen that can be formed from 50.0 g N 2O 4 and 45.0 g N 2H 4. Some possibly useful molar masses are as follows: N 2O 4 = 92.02 g/mol, N 2H 4 = 32.05 g/mol. N 2O 4( l) + 2 N 2H 4( l) → 3 N 2( g) + 4 H 2O( g)
a) LR = N2O4, 45.7 g N2 formed
b) LR = N2O4, 105 g N2 formed
c) LR = N2H4, 13.3 g N2 formed
d) LR = N2H4, 59.0 g N2 formed
e) No LR, 45.0 g N2 formed

Option A. LR = N2O4, 45.7g N2 formed

Explanation:

The balanced equation for the reaction is given below:

N2O4(l) + 2N2H4(l) → 3N2(g) + 4H2O(g)

Next, we shall determine the masses of N2O4 and N2H4 that reacted and mass of N2 produced from the balanced equation. This is illustrated below:

Molar mass of N2O4 = 92.02 g/mol

Mass of N2O4 from the balanced equation = 1 x 92.02 = 92.02 g

Molar mass of N2H4 = 32.05 g/mol

Mass of N2H4 from the balanced equation = 2 x 32.05 = 64.1g

Molar mass of N2 = 2x14.01 = 28.02g/mol

Mass of N2 from the balanced equation = 3 x 28.02 = 84.06g

Summary:

From the balanced equation above,

92.02g of N2O4 reacted with 64.1g of N2H4 to produce 84.06g of N2.

Next, we shall determine the limiting reactant. This can be obtained as follow:

From the balanced equation above,

92.02g of N2O4 reacted with 64.1g of N2H4.

Therefore, 50g of N2O4 will react with = (50 x 64.1)/92.02 = 34.83g of N2H4.

From the calculations made above, we can see that only 34.83g out 45g of N2H4 is required to react completely with 50g of N2O4.

Therefore, N2O4 is the limiting reactant and N2H4 is the excess reactant.

Finally, we shall determine the mass of N2 produced from the reaction.

In this case the limiting reactant will be used as it will produce the maximum yield of N2 since all of it is used up in the reaction.

The limiting reactant is N2O4 and the mass N2 produced can be obtained as illustrated below:

From the balanced equation above,

92.02g of N2O4 reacted to produce 84.06g of N2.

Therefore 50g of N2O4 will react to produce = (50 x 84.06)/92.02 = 45.7g of N2.

Therefore, 45.7g of N2 were produced from the reaction.

At the end of the day,

The limiting reactant is N2O4 and 45.7g of N2 were produced from the reaction.

mechanics (greek   is that area of science concerned with the behaviour of physical bodies when subjected to forces or displacements, and the subsequent effects of the bodies on their environment. the scientific discipline has its origins in ancient greece with the writings of aristotle and archimedes[1][2][3] (see history of classical mechanics and timeline of classical mechanics). during the early modern period, scientists such as galileo, kepler, and newton laid the foundation for what is now known as classical mechanics. it is a branch of classical physics that deals with particles that are either at rest or are moving with velocities significantly less than the speed of light. it can also be defined as a branch of science which deals with the motion of and forces on objects. the field is yet less widely understood in terms of quantum theory.
