78. Consider the following reaction:
4NH,(g) + SOa(g) — 4NOig) + 6H018)
Ifa container were to have 10 molecules of O2 and 10
molecules of NH; initially, how many total molecules (re~
actants plus products) would be present in the container
after this reaction goes to completion?
78. In the following table we have listed three rows of information. The “Initial” row is the
number of molecules present initially, the “Change” row is the number of molecules that
react 10 reach completion, and the “Final” row is the number of molecules present at
completion. To determine the limiting reactant, let’s calculate how much of one reactant is
necessary to react with the other.
A moleculesNH,
10 molecules O2
‘SmoleculesO,
= 8 molecules NH, to react with all the Os
Because we have 10 molecules of NH; and only 8 molecules of NH; are necessary to react
with all the Os, O is limiting
ANH(g) + SOXg) > A NO(g) + 6 HLO(@)
Initial 10 molecules 10 molecules 0 0
Change 8 molecules -10 molecules +8 molecules +12 molecules
Final 2 molecules. 0 8 molecules. 12 molecules
The total number of molecules present after completion = 2 molecules NH, + 0 molecules O:
+8 molecules NO + 12 molecules HO = 22 molecules.88. Boron consists of two isotopes, !°B and ™B. Chlorine also
has two isotopes, °*Cl and *Cl. Consider the mass spec-
trum of BCl;. How many peaks would be present, and
what approximate mass would each peak correspond to
in the BCI; mass spectrum?
88 We would see the peaks corresponding to:
“BCL; [mass = 10 + 3(35)= 115 amu], "BCL "C1 (117), “BYCF'Ch (119),
"BMC (121), UBNCIs (116), "BSCLCL (118), "BSCI”CA (120), "BVCH (122)
‘We would see a total of eight peaks at approximate masses of 115, 116, 117, 118, 119, 120,
121, and 122.
