Which acid-base imbalance would be caused by overaccumulation of co2 in the blood?

1 answer:

4 0

This phenomenon is called <em>respiratory acidosis</em>. Carbon dioxide is acidic in nature. So, when there is an overaccumulation of carbon dioxide in the blood, it becomes acidic. The pH lowers and the partial pressure of carbon dioxide increases. This occurs during periods of hypoventilation.

How many moles of NH3 would be formed from the complete reaction of 16.0 g H2?

natima [27]

Taking into account the reaction stoichiometry, 5.33 moles of NH₃ are formed from the complete reaction of 16 grams of H₂.

<h3>Reaction stoichiometry</h3>

In first place, the balanced reaction is:

N₂ + 3 H₂ → 2 NH₃

By reaction stoichiometry (that is, the relationship between the amount of reagents and products in a chemical reaction), the following amounts of moles of each compound participate in the reaction:

N₂: 1 mole
H₂: 3 moles
NH₃: 2 moles

The molar mass of the compounds is:

N₂: 14 g/mole
H₂: 2 g/mole
NH₃: 17 g/mole

Then, by reaction stoichiometry, the following mass quantities of each compound participate in the reaction:

N₂: 1 mole ×14 g/mole= 14 grams
H₂: 3 moles ×2 g/mole= 6 grams
NH₃: 2 moles ×17 g/mole=34 grams

<h3>Mass of NH₃ formed</h3>

The following rule of three can be applied: if by reaction stoichiometry 6 grams of H₂ form 2 moles of NH₃, 16 grams of H₂ form how many moles of NH₃?

$moles of NH_{3}= \frac{16 grams of H_{2} x2moles of NH_{3}}{6 grams of H_{2}}$
