Why is it important to control the reaction rate of the chemical process

1 answer:

8 0

$Mg+2HCl=MgCl_2+H_{2(g)}$

The reaction creates dihydrogen, hence if it's uncontrolled it could lead to potentially dangerous amounts of gas being released at once.

A 3.31-g sample of lead nitrate, Pb(NO3)2, molar mass = 331 g/mol, is heated in an evacuated cylinder with a volume of 2.53 L. T

Dahasolnce [82]

Answer:

0.486atm is the pressure of the cylinder

Explanation:

1 mole of Pb(NO₃)₂ descomposes in 4 moles of NO2 and 1 mole of O2. That is 1 mole descomposes in 5 moles of gas.

To find the pressure of the cylinder, we need to find moles of gas produced, and using general gas law we can determine the pressure of the gas:

Moles Pb(NO₃)₂ and moles of gas:

3.31g * (1mol / 331g) = 0.01 moles of Pb(NO₃)₂.

That means moles of gas produced is 0.05 moles.

Pressure of the gas:

Using PV = nRT

P = nRT/V

Where P is pressure (Incognite)

V is volume (2.53L)

R is gas constant (0.082atmL/molK)

T is absolute temperature (300K)

And n are moles of gas (0.05 moles)

P = 0.05mol*0.082atmL/molK*300K / 2.53L

P = 0.486atm is the pressure of the cylinder

If 4000 g of Fe2O3 reacts, how many moles of CO are needed? (add work)

7nadin3 [17]

Answer:

75.15 mol.

Explanation:

Firstly, we need to write the balanced equation of the reaction:

Fe₂O₃ + 3CO → 2Fe + 3CO₂.

It is clear that 1.0 mole of Fe₂O₃ reacts with 3.0 moles of CO to produce 2.0 moles of Fe and 3.0 moles of CO₂.

∴ Fe₂O₃ reacts with CO with (1: 3) molar ratio.

we need to calculate the no. of moles of (4000 g) of Fe₂O₃:

no. of moles of Fe₂O₃ = mass/molar mass = (4000 g)/(159.69 g/mol) = 25.05 mol.

Using cross multiplication:

1.0 mole of Fe₂O₃ needs → 3.0 moles of CO,

∴ 25.05 mole of Fe₂O₃ needs → ??? moles of CO.

∴ The no. of moles of CO needed = (3.0 mol)(25.05 mol)/(1.0 mol) = 75.15 mol.

Describe some acidic oxides that can be prepared by thermal decomposition of nitrates and carbonates

azamat

When calcium carbonate is heated, it breaks down to form calcium oxide and carbon dioxide.

Thermal decomposition is the process in which heat is required.

It is also known as thermolysis.

It is processed in which a compound breaks into two or more products when the heat is supplied.

This reaction is used for the production of oxygen.

This reaction is also used for production of acidic as well as basic oxides.

CaCO3 on thermal decomposition gives:

CaCO3→CaO+CO2

CaO→ Basic oxide.

CO2→ Acidic oxide.
