asambeis [7]

Answer:

44,901 kilo Joule heat is released when $1.663\times 10^4 g$ grams of ammonia is produced.

Explanation:

Moles of ammonia gas produced :

$\frac{1.663\times 10^4 g}{17 g/mol}=978.235 mol$

According to reaction, when 2 moles of ammonia are produced 9.18 kilo joules of energy is also released.

So, When 978.235 moles of ammonia gas is produced the energy released will be:

$\frac{-91.8 kJ}{2}\times 978.235 mol=-44,900.98 kJ\approx -44,901 kJ$

(negative sign indicates that energy is released as heat)

44,901 kilo Joule heat is released when $1.663\times 10^4 g$ grams of ammonia is produced.

Which hydrogen is an unsaturated hydrocarbon ?

Ksivusya [100]

Answer:

Image result for Which hydrogen is an unsaturated hydrocarbon ?

Alkenes have the general formula CnH2n, and are examples of unsaturated hydrocarbons. The presence of a double bond compound's structure causes there to be two fewer hydrogen atoms in the molecule than there are in an alkane with the same number of carbon atoms.
