Answer:

      \large\boxed{\large\boxed{18,450kJ/hour}}

Explanation:

1) <em><u>Radiation</u></em><u>'s ratio</u>: 2014 kJ/m²

2) <em><u>United States'</u></em><u> area</u>:  is 9,158,960 km² .

3) <u>Formula:</u>

  • Energy = ratio × area

4) <u>Conversion factor</u>:

         (1km)^2=(1,000m)2\\\\1km^2=1,000,000m^2\\\\1=1km^2/1,000,000m^2

5) <u>Solve</u>:

In one hour:

             E=2,014kJ/m^2\times 9,158,960km^2\times  1km^2/1,000,000m^2\\\\E=18,446kJ\approx 18,450kJ

That is per hour.

The answer is rounded to 4 signficant figures.

Calculate the number of formula units in 2.50 mol NaNO
marta [7]

The number of formula units in 2.50 mol of the compound is  15.1 * 10^23.

The question is unclear whether NaNO2 or NaNO3 is implied. However,in either case, the solution applies equally.

6.02 * 10^23 formula units of the compound are contained in 1 mole

x formula units are contained in 2.5 moles of the compound

x = 6.02 * 10^23 formula units * 2.5 moles/ 1 mole

x = 15.1 * 10^23 formula units of the compound.

What volume of o2 is needed to react fully with 720. Ml of nh3
Galina-37 [17]

Ammonia undergoes combustion with oxygen to produce nitric oxide and water. The volume of the oxygen required to react with 720 ml of ammonia is 900 ml.

<h3>What is volume?</h3>

Volume is the area occupied by the substance and is the ratio of the mass to the density.

At STP, 1 mole of gas occupies 22.4 L of volume

Given,

Volume of ammonia reacted = 0.720 L

The combustion reaction is shown as,

\rm 4NH_{3} + 5O_{2} \rightarrow 4NO +6H_{2}O

From the stoichiometry of the reaction, it can be said that,

(4 \times  22.4) L of ammonia reacts with (5 \times  22.4) L of oxygen gas.

So, 0.720 L of  ammonia will react with:

\dfrac{ (5 \times  22.4)}{(4 \times  22.4)} \times 0.720 = 0.9 \;\rm L

Therefore, the volume of oxygen required is 900 mL.

At an elevated temperature, Kp=4.2 x 10^-9 for the reaction 2HBr (g)---&gt; +H2(g) + Br2 (g). If the initial partial pressures o
Damm [24]

Answer : The partial pressure of H_2 at equilibrium is, 1.0 × 10⁻⁶

Explanation :

The partial pressure of HBr = 1.0\times 10^{-2}atm

The partial pressure of H_2 = 2.0\times 10^{-4}atm

The partial pressure of Br_2 = 2.0\times 10^{-4}atm

K_p=4.2\times 10^{-9}

The balanced equilibrium reaction is,

                                2HBr(g)\rightleftharpoons H_2(g)+Br_2(g)

Initial pressure    1.0×10⁻²       2.0×10⁻⁴      2.0×10⁻⁴

At eqm.            (1.0×10⁻²-2p)   (2.0×10⁻⁴+p)  (2.0×10⁻⁴+p)

The expression of equilibrium constant K_p for the reaction will be:

K_p=\frac{(p_{H_2})(p_{Br_2})}{(p_{HBr})^2}

Now put all the values in this expression, we get :

4.2\times 10^{-9}=\frac{(2.0\times 10^{-4}+p)(2.0\times 10^{-4}+p)}{(1.0\times 10^{-2}-2p)^2}

p=-1.99\times 10^{-4}

The partial pressure of H_2 at equilibrium = (2.0×10⁻⁴+(-1.99×10⁻⁴) )= 1.0 × 10⁻⁶

Therefore, the partial pressure of H_2 at equilibrium is, 1.0 × 10⁻⁶
