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.

Uranium-238 decays to lead-206 with a half-life of 4.5 x 109 yr. Determine how much uranium-238 decays in milligrams (to three s
Mamont248 [21]

Answer:

2.15 mg of uranium-238 decays

Explanation:

For decay of radioactive nuclide-

                        N=N_{0}.(\frac{1}{2})^{\frac{t}{t_{\frac{1}{2}}}}

where N is amount of radioactive nuclide after t time, N_{0} is initial amount of radioactive nuclide and t_{\frac{1}{2}} is half life of radioactive nuclide

Here N_{0}=4.60 mg, t=4.1\times 10^{9}yr and t_{\frac{1}{2}}=4.5\times 10^{9}yr

So,N=(4.60mg)\times (\frac{1}{2})^{\frac{4.1\times 10^{9}}{4.5\times 10^{9}}}

so, N = 2.446 mg

mass of uranium-238 decays = (4.60-2.446) mg = 2.15 mg

Isomers have the same physical properties because the chemical formulas are identical. True False
Luda [366]
The statement is False.
The molecular (chemical) formulas are same in case of isomers but the arrangement of atoms is different in them. The physical properties are determined by the arrangement of atoms within the molecule.

Since the arrangement of atoms is different in case of isomers, the Physical Properties will also be different.
