The reform reaction between steam and gaseous methane (CH4) produces "synthesis gas," a mixture of carbon monoxide gas and dihyd

rogen gas. Synthesis gas is one of the most widely used industrial chemicals, and is the major industrial source of hydrogen.
Suppose a chemical engineer studying a new catalyst for the reform reaction finds that 924. liters per second of methane are consumed when the reaction is run at 261.°C and 0.96atm. Calculate the rate at which dihydrogen is being produced. Give your answer in kilograms per second. Round your answer to 2 significant digits.

Answer:

The rate at which dihydrogen is being produced is 0.12 kg/sec.

Explanation:

CH_4+H_2O\rightarrow CO+3H_2 Haber reaction

Volume of methane consumed in a second = 924 L

Temperature at which reaction is carried out,T= 261°C = 538.15 K

Pressure at which reaction is carried out, P = 0.96 atm

Let the moles of methane be n.

Using an Ideal gas equation:

PV=nRT

n=\frac{PV}{RT}=\frac{0.96 atm\times 924 L}{0.0821 atm l/mol K\times 538.15 K}=20.0769 mol

According to reaction , 1 mol of methane gas produces 3 moles of dihydrogen gas.

Then 20.0769 mol of dihydrogen will produce :

\frac{3}{1}\times 20.0769 mol=60.2307 mol of dihydrogen

Mass of 24.3194 moles of ammonia =24.3194 mol × 2 g/mol

=120.46 g=0.12046 kg ≈ 0.12 kg

924 L of methane are consumed in 1 second to produce 0.12 kg of dihydrogen in 1 second. So the rate at which dihydrogen is being produced is 0.12 kg/sec.

What is the maximum mass of P2I4 that can be prepared from 8.80g of P4O6 and 12.37g of iodine according to the reaction:
Dvinal [7]
The balanced chemical reaction would be as follows:

<span>5P4O6 +8I2 ---> 4P2I4 +3P4O10

We are given the amount of reactants used for the reaction. We first need to determine the limiting reactant from the given amounts. We do as follows:

8.80 g P4O6 (1 mol / </span><span>219.88 g) = 0.04 mol P4O6
12.37 g I2 ( 1 mol / </span><span>253.809 g ) = 0.05 mol I2

Therefore, the limiting reactant is iodine since less it is being consumed completely in the reaction. We calculate the amount of P2I4 prepared as follows:

0.05 mol I2 ( 4 mol P2I4 / 8 mol I2 ) (</span><span>569.57 g / 1 mol) = 14.24 g P2I4</span>

What is a distinguishing feature about ionic bonds?
Sergeeva-Olga [200]

Answer:

Here:

Explanation:

So ionic bonds are formed due to electrostatic attraction. For example, in NaCl, Na gives an electron to Cl, getting Na+ and Cl- where + and - charges attract and form an ionic bond.

If 1 mole of gas occupies 22.4 liters of space, calculate the number of moles that will occupy 11.2 liters of space? Make sure t
Yuliya22 [10]

So, if 1 mole occupies 22.4 L, the imediate conclusion is that a bigger number of moles will occupy more than 22.4 L, and a smaller number of moles will occupy less than 22.4 L. In your case, 3 moles of gas will occupy 3 times more volume than 1 mole of gas
