Nitrogen gas reacts with hydrogen gas to form nitrogen trihydride?

Hydrogen gas (a potential future fuel) can be formed by the reaction of methane with water according to the following equation:

dem82 [27]

Answer:

The percent yield of the reaction is 62.05 %

Explanation:

Step 1: Data given

Volume of methane = 25.5 L

Pressure of methane = 732 torr

Temperature = 25.0 °C = 298 K

Volume of water vapor = 22.0 L

Pressure of H2O = 704 torr

Temperature = 125 °C

The reaction produces 26.0 L of hydrogen gas measured at STP

Step 2: The balanced equation

CH4(g) + H2O(g) → CO(g) + 3H2(g)

Step 3: Calculate moles methane

p*V = n*R*T

⇒with p = the pressure of methane = 0.963158 atm

⇒with V = the volume of methane = 25.5 L

⇒with n = the moles of methane = TO BE DETERMINED

⇒with R = the gas constant = 0.08206 L*atm/mol*K

⇒with T = the temperature = 298 K

n = (p*V) / (R*T)

n = (0.963158 * 25.5 ) / ( 0.08206 * 298)

n = 1.0044 moles

Step 4: Calculate moles H2O

p*V = n*R*T

⇒with p = the pressure of methane = 0.926316 atm

⇒with V = the volume of methane = 22.0 L

⇒with n = the moles of methane = TO BE DETERMINED

⇒with R = the gas constant = 0.08206 L*atm/mol*K

⇒with T = the temperature = 398 K

n = (p*V) / (R*T)

n = (0.926316 * 22.0) / (0.08206 * 398)

n = 0.624 moles

Step 5: Calculate the limiting reactant

For 1 mol methane we need 1 mol H2O to produce 1 mol CO and 3 moles H2

H2O is the limiting reactant. It will completely be consumed (0.624 moles).

Methane is in excess. There will react 0.624 moles. There will remain 1.0044 - 0.624 moles = 0.3804 moles methane

Step 6: Calculate moles hydrogen gas

For 1 mol methane we need 1 mol H2O to produce 1 mol CO and 3 moles H2

For 0.624 moles H2O we'll have 3*0.624 = 1.872 moles

Step 9: Calculate volume of H2 at STP

1.0 mol at STP has a volume of 22.4 L

1.872 moles has a volume of 1.872 * 22.4 = 41.9 L

Step 10: Calculate the percent yield of the reaction

% yield = (actual yield / theoretical yield) * 100 %

% yield = ( 26.0 L / 41.9 L) *100 %

% yield = 62.05 %

The percent yield of the reaction is 62.05 %

An unknown compound, X is thought to have a carboxyl group with a pKa of 2.0 and another ionizable group with a pKa between 5 an

Westkost [7]

Answer:

7.3

Explanation:

By Henderson Hasselbalch equation we can calculate the pH or the pOH of a solution by its pKa. Remember that $pH = -log[H^{+}]$ , and pKa = -logKa. Ka is the equilibrium constant of the acid.

Henderson Hasselbalch equation :

$pH = pKa - log \frac{[HA]}{[A^{-}]}$

Where [HA] is the concentration of the acid, and $[A^{-}]$ is the concentration of the anion which forms the acid.

So, acid X, has two ionic forms, the carboxyl group and the other one. First, we have 0.1 mol/L of the acid, in 100 mL, so the number of moles of X

n1 = (0.1 mol/L)x(0.1 L) = 0.01 mol

When it dissociates, it forms 0.005 mol of the carboxyl group and 0.005 mol of the other group. Assuming same stoichiometry.

Adding NaOH, with 0.1 mol/L and 75 mL, the number of moles of $OH^-$ will be

n2 = (0.1 mol/L)x(0.075 L) = 0.0075 mol

So, the 0.0075 mol of $OH^-$ reacts with 0.005 mol of carboxyl, remaining 0.0025 mol of $OH^-$ , which will react with the 0.005 mol of the other group. So, it will remain 0.0025 mol of the other group.

The final volume of the solution will be 175 mL, but both concentrations (the acid form and ionic form) have the same volume, so we can use the number of mol in the equation.

Note that, the number of moles of the acid form is still 0.01 mol because it doesn't react!

So,

$6.72 = pKa - log \frac{0.01}{0.0025}$

6.72 = pKa - log 4

pKa - log4 = 6.72

pKa = 6.72 + log4

pKa = 6.72 + 0.6

pKa = 7.3

A period of the life cycle during which positive nitrogen balance is most likely to occur is:__________

NemiM [27]

The period of the life cycle during which positive nitrogen balance is most likely to occur is childhood.

<h3>What is nitrogen balance?</h3>

The term nitrogen balance refers to the fact that there is a balance between the intake and the loss of nitrogen. The intake of nitrogen occurs when a person takes in food that contain proteins which are a rich source of nitrogen in the body and helps in the process of the build up of the cells in the body.
