The property of liquid oxygen that makes it especially difficult and potentially harmful to work with at home would be its cryogenic temperature. Liquid oxygen is being produced from the compression of oxygen gas to -196 degrees Celsius. As you can see, it has a very cold temperature that is why it used in cryogenics. Although liquid oxygen is non-toxic to humans, it would cause burns that are severe when being touched. Also, it would make certain materials brittle and unstable. Another property that makes it dangerous for use at home would be that it is very flammable. Proper handling is a must for this substance.

In the important industrial process for producing ammonia (the Haber Process), the overall reaction is: N2(g) + 3H2(g) → 2NH3(g)
irakobra [83]
Answer is: <span>B) -50.2 kJ.

Balanced chemical reaction: </span>N₂(g) + 3H₂(g) → 2NH₃(g) ΔH = -<span>100.4 kJ.
This is exothermic reaction, because heat is released and energy is include as product of chemical reaction.
Make proportion, two moles of ammonia released 100.4 kJ of heat, then one mole of ammonia released:
2 mol(NH</span>₃) : (-100.4 kJ) = 1 mol : ΔH.
ΔH = -50.2 kJ; <span>heat released per mole of NH</span>₃.

tangare [24]

Answer:

The reaction is impossible

Explanation:

Potassium is above aluminum in the electrochemical series hence it cannot be displaced by aluminum in a double decomposition reaction.

A double decomposition (often shown by a net ionic equation) is possible if and only if the reaction leads to the formation of an insoluble precipitate.

Such a reaction cannot occur here because the redox potential of potassium is far more negative than that of aluminum hence the reaction is impossible.

What would increase the speed of a sound wave?
kakasveta [241]
<span>Heat, like sound, is a form of kinetic energy. Molecules at higher temperatures have more energy, thus they can vibrate faster. Since the molecules vibrate faster, sound waves can travel more quickly. The speed of sound in room temperature air is 346 meters per second.</span>
