Answer:

A. To study the chemical composition of the surface of a planet

Explanation:

Strictly speaking, a spectrometer is any instrument used to view and analyze a range (or a spectrum) of a given characteristic for a substance (for example, a range of mass-to-charge values as in mass spectrometry), or a range of wavelengths as in absorption spectrometry like nuclear magnetic radiation spectroscopy

The Ostwald process for the commercial production of nitric acid from ammonia and oxygen involves the following steps:

bagirrra123 [75]

Answer:

$12 NH_3 (g)+ 21 O_2 (g) + \longrightarrow 14 H_2O (l) + 8 HNO_3 (g) + 4 NO (g)$

Explanation:

The steps of the Ostwald process:

$4 NH_3 (g) + 5 O_2 (g) \longrightarrow 4 NO (g) + 6 H_2O (g)$

$2 NO (g) + O_2 (g) \longrightarrow 2 NO_2 (g)$

$3 NO_2 (g) + H_2O (l) \longrightarrow 2 HNO_3 (g) + NO (g)$

Combinning the equations:

$4 NH_3 (g) + 5 O_2 (g) \longrightarrow 4 NO (g) + 6 H_2O (g)$

$(2 NO (g) + O_2 (g) \longrightarrow 2 NO_2 (g))*2$

$(3 NO_2 (g) + H_2O (l) \longrightarrow 2 HNO_3 (g) + NO (g))*4/3$

$4 NH_3 (g)+ 4 NO (g)+ 7 O_2 (g) + 4 NO_2 (g) +4/3 H_2O (l) \longrightarrow 4 NO (g) + 6 H_2O (g) + 4 NO_2(g) + 8/3 HNO_3 (g) + 4/3 NO (g)$

Simplifying:

$4 NH_3 (g)+ 7 O_2 (g) + \longrightarrow 14/3 H_2O (l) + 8/3 HNO_3 (g) + 4/3 NO (g)$

$12 NH_3 (g)+ 21 O_2 (g) + \longrightarrow 14 H_2O (l) + 8 HNO_3 (g) + 4 NO (g)$

The overall reaction is endothermic becuase the formation of new chemical bonds requires energy consumption.

A student carries out this chemical reaction in a beaker:

nydimaria [60]

Answer:The correct answer is option (C).

Explanation:

$Zn+CuCl_2\rightarrow Cu+ZnCl_2$

After the reaction between Zinc and copper(II) chloride, Zinc chloride and copper will be obtained as a product. This reaction occurs because zinc is more reactive than copper which displaces the copper from its aqueous solution.

The student will expect to find copper metal at bottom of the beaker with aqueous solution of zinc chloride.

Hence the correct answer is option (C).

4.2g of sodium bicarbonate is equivalent to how many moles of sodium bicarbonate

Mnenie [13.5K]

<span>The mass of one mole of sodium bicarbonate (aka NaHCO3) is equal to 1 * 22.99g/mol + 1 * 1.00g/mol + 1 * 12.01g/mol + 3 * 16.00g/mol = 83.91g/mol. From this, we can convert 4.2g of NaHCO3 to moles by dividing by 83.91g/mol, to get 0.050 moles of sodium bicarbonate.</span>

I begin the reaction with 0.45 g of beryllium. If my actual yield of beryllium chloride (mm = 79.91 g/mol) was 3.5 grams, what w

trasher [3.6K]

The percentage of yield was 777.78%

<u>Explanation:</u>

We have the equation,

Be [s] + 2 HCl [aq] → BeCl 2(aq] + H 2(g] ↑ Be (s] + 2 HCl [aq] → BeCl 2(aq] + H 2(g] ↑

To find the percent yield we have the formula

Percentage of Yield= what you actually get/ what you should theoretically get x 100

=3.5 g/0.45 g 100

= 777.78 %

The percentage of yield was 777.78%
