The percent yield of the reaction between ammonia gas with oxygen gas is 90.52%.

A chemical reaction between ammonia gas (NH3) with oxygen gas (O2)

NH₃ + O₂ → NO₂ + H₂O

The balanced reaction 4NH₃ + 7O₂ → 4NO₂ + 6H₂O

Calculate the number of moles from the reactant

  • Ammonia gas
    Molar mass N = 14 gr/mol
    Molar mass H = 1 gr/mol
    Molar mass NH₃ = 14 + (3 × 1) = 14 + 3 = 17 gr/mol
    mass = 28.5 grams
    n = m ÷ molar mass = 28.5 ÷ 17 = 1.68 mol
  • Oxygen gas
    Molar mass O = 16 gr/mol
    Molar mass O₂ = 16 × 2 = 32 gr/mol
    mass = 83.4 grams
    n = m ÷ molar mass = 83.4 ÷ 32 = 2.61 mol
  • n O₂ ÷ coefficient O₂ = 2.61 ÷ 7 = 0.37
    n NH₃ ÷ coefficient NH₃ = 1.68 ÷ 4 = 0.42
    0.42 > 0.37 it means that the ammonia gas is in excess and the O₂ is limiting.

According to stoichiometry, the number of moles NO₂ with the number of moles O₂ has the ratio with the coefficient in reaction.

  • Theoretically the number moles of NO₂
    n O₂ : n NO₂ = 7 : 4
    2.61 : n NO₂ = 7 : 4
    n NO₂ = 4 x 2.61 : 7 = 1.49 mol
  • The actual number of moles NO₂
    Molar mas NO₂ = 14 + (16 × 2) = 14 + 32 = 46 gr/mol
    n NO₂ = m ÷ molar mass = 61.9 ÷ 46 = 1.35 mol

The percent yield NO₂ is the ratio of the actual number of moles NO₂ with the theoretical number of moles NO₂ times 100%.

P = (1.35 ÷ 1.49) × 100%

P = 0.9052 × 100%

P = 90.52%

How many grams of ethylene glycol (c2h6o2 must be added to 1.25 kg of water to produce a solution that freezes at -5.88 ∘c?
e-lub [12.9K]
The freezing point depression is calculated through the equation,
                                    ΔT = (kf)  x m 
where ΔT is the difference in temperature, kf is the freezing point depression constant (1.86°C/m), and m is the molality. Substituting the known values,
                                   5.88 = (1.86)(m)
m is equal to 3.16m

Recall that molality is calculated through the equation,
                                  molality = number of mols / kg of solvent
                                       number of mols = (3.16)(1.25) = 3.95 moles
Then, we multiply the calculated amount in moles with the molar mass of ethylene glycol and the answer would be 244.9 g.

Object A at 40ºC and object B at 80ºC are placed in contact with each other. Which statement describes the heat flow between the
Arada [10]
By the second law of thermodynamics:
Heat can not spontaneously flow from cold regions to hot regions without external work being performed on a system.
Heat transfer is the passage of thermal energy from a hot ( t B = 80° C ) to a colder body ( t A = 40° C ). 
Answer:  B ) Heat flows from object B to object A.

How could you tell whether a liquid is <br> honey or vinegar?
MissTica
Based on the liquids viscosity (which is a measure of how quickly/slowly a fluid can flow).

Higher viscosity represents a "thicker" liquid & slower flow (honey)
Lower viscosity represents a "thinner" liquid & quicker flow (vinegar)
