One of the steps in the commercial process for converting ammonia to nitric acid is the conversion of NH3 to NO: 4NH3 (g) 5O2 (g

)--> 4NO (g) 6H2O (g) In a certain experiment 2.00 g of NH3 reacts with 2.50 g of O2. Which is the limiting reactant?

Answer:

O2 is the limiting reactant.

Explanation:

Step 1: Data given

Mass of NH3 = 2.00 grams

Mass of O2 = 2.50 grams

Molar mass NH3 = 17.03 g/mol

Molar mass O2 = 32 g/mol

Step 2: The balanced equation

4NH3(g) +  5O2 (g) → 4NO(g) +  6H2O (g)

Step 3: calculate moles NH3

Moles NH3 = mass NH3 / molar mass NH3

Moles NH3 = 2.00 grams / 17.03 g/mol

Moles NH3 = 0.117 moles

Step 4: Calculate moles O2

Moles O2 = mass / molar mass O2

Moles O2 = 2.50 grams / 32 g/mol

Moles O2 = 0.0781 moles

Step 5: Calculate the limiting reactant

For 4 moles NH3 we need 5 moles O2 to produce 4 moles NO and 6 moles H2O

O2 is the limiting reactant. It will completely be consumed. (0.0781 moles). NH3 is in excess. There will react 4/5 * 0.0781 moles =  0.0625 moles

There will remain 0.117 - 0.0625 = 0.0545 moles NH3

O2 is the limiting reactant.

If a gas in a closed container is pressurized from 15.0 atmospheres to 16.0
Yuki888 [10]

Answer:

T₂ = 317.87 K

Explanation:

Given data:

Initial pressure = 15 atm

Final pressure = 16 atm

Initial temperature = 298 K

Final temperature = ?

Solution:

According to Gay-Lussac Law,

The pressure of given amount of a gas is directly proportional to its temperature at constant volume and number of moles.

Mathematical relationship:

P₁/T₁ = P₂/T₂

Now we will put the values in formula:

15 atm / 298K = 16 atm/T₂

T₂ = 16atm × 298 K / 15 atm

T₂ = 4768 atm. K / 15 atm

T₂ = 317.87 K

A 700.0 mL gas sample at STP is compressed to a volume of 200.0 mL, and the temperature is increased to 30.0°C. What is the new
dolphi86 [110]

Answer: The new pressure of the gas in Pa is 388462

Explanation:

Combined gas law is the combination of Boyle's law, Charles's law and Gay-Lussac's law.

The combined gas equation is,

\frac{P_1V_1}{T_1}=\frac{P_2V_2}{T_2}

where,

P_1 = initial pressure of gas at STP = 10^5Pa

P_2 = final pressure of gas = ?

V_1 = initial volume of gas = 700.0 ml

V_2 = final volume of gas = 200.0 ml

T_1 = initial temperature of gas = 273 K

T_2 = final temperature of gas = 30^oC=273+30=303K

Now put all the given values in the above equation, we get:

\frac{10^5\times 700.0ml}{273K}=\frac{P_2\times 200.0ml}{303K}

P_2=388462Pa

The new pressure of the gas in Pa is 388462
