30.% Determine the molar mass of NH3 and NO Atomic weight nitrogen = 14.0067 Atomic weight hydrogen = 1.00794 Atomic weight oxygen = 15.999 Molar mass NH3 = 14.0067 + 3 * 1.00794 = 17.03052 g/mol Molar mass NO = 14.0067 + 15.999 = 30.0057 g/mol Moles NH3 = 8.5 / 17.03052 = 0.499103962 mol Moles NO = 4.5 / 30.0057 = 0.149971505 mol Looking at the balanced equation, for every mole of NH3 consumed, you should get one mole of NO. So if we had 100% yield, we should have 0.499103962 moles of NO. But we don't. The percent yield is a simple matter of division by what we did get by what we should get. So 0.149971505 / 0.499103962 = 0.300481497 = 30.0481497% Rounding to 2 significant figures gives 30.% yield.

Given that Kp [NOTE: Kp!!!!] = 1.39 at 400 ºC for the reaction, P4(g) <=> 2 P2(g), which answer best describes the reactio

Igoryamba

Answer:

The reaction will proceed to the left to attain equilibrium.

Explanation:

The question is missing but I guess it must be about how the reaction will proceed to attain equilibrium.

First, we have to calculate the partial pressures using the ideal gas equation.

$pP_{4}=\frac{2.50mol\times (0.08206atm.L/mol.K)\times 673K}{25.0L} =5.52atm$

$pP_{2}=\frac{1.50mol\times (0.08206atm.L/mol.K)\times 673K}{25.0L}=3.31atm$

Now, we have to calculate the reaction quotient (Qp).

$Qp=\frac{pP_{2}^{2}}{pP_{4}} =\frac{3.31^{2} }{5.52} =1.98$

Since Qp > Kp, the reaction will proceed to the left to attain equilibrium.

Write the balanced chemical equations for the reaction of magnesium metal with oxygen gas, and for the reaction of magnesium met

Sunny_sXe [5.5K]

Magnesium element exists as single atoms. Free oxygen is always diatomic (two atoms bonded together) as O2. Nitrogen gas is also diatomic N2.

2Mg + O2 → MgO

Mg forms a +2 ion, O forms a -2 ion, so they combine and balance in a 1:1 ratio. MgO, magnesium oxide, is a solid.
3Mg + N2→Mg3N2

Mg forms a +2 ion, but N forms a -3 ion. Hence the Mg3N2 configuration for magnesium nitride.
