Answer:

A. float.

Explanation:

Ice has a lower density than water so it will float.

It is a good job it does, otherwise some oceans would be frozen solid!!

Calculate the oxidation number of the iodine (I) in each compound: HIO4 = I2 = NaI = HIO3 =

Makovka662 [10]

1) in periodic acid (HIO₄), iodine has oxidation number +7, hydrogen has oxidation number +1, oxygen has -2, compound has neutral charge:
+1 + x + 4 · (-2) = 0.
x = +7.

2) in molecule of iodine (I₂), iodine has oxidation number 0, because iodine is nonpolar molecule.

3) in sodium iodide (NaI), iodine has oxidation number -1, sodium has oxidation number +1:
+1 + x = 0.
x = -1.

4) in iodic acid (HIO₃), iodine has oxidation number +5, hydrogen has oxidation number +1, oxygen has -2, compound has neutral charge:
+1 + x + 3 · (-2) = 0.
x = +5.

Nitroglycerin is a dangerous powerful explosive that violently decomposes when it is shaken or dropped. The Swedish chemist Alfr

Ganezh [65]

Answer:

a. $4 C_3H_5N_3O_9 (l)\rightarrow 6N_2 (g) + O_2 (g) + 10 H_2O (g) + 12 CO_2 (g)$

b. 146.0 g

Explanation:

Question 1 (a). Just as the problem states, liquid nitroglycerin decomposes into nitrogen gas $N_2$ , oxygen gas $O_2$ , water vapor $H_2O$ and carbon dioxide $CO_2$ . Let's write the decomposition of nitroglycerin into these 4 components:

$C_3H_5N_3O_9 (l)\rightarrow N_2 (g) + O_2 (g) + H_2O (g) + CO_2 (g)$

Now we need to balance the equation. Firstly, notice we have 3 carbon atoms on the left and 1 on the right, so let's multiply carbon dioxide by 3:

$C_3H_5N_3O_9 (l)\rightarrow N_2 (g) + O_2 (g) + H_2O (g) + 3 CO_2 (g)$

Now, we have 3 nitrogen atoms on the left and 2 on the right, so let's multiply nitrogen on the right by $\frac{3}{2}$ :

$C_3H_5N_3O_9 (l)\rightarrow \frac{3}{2}N_2 (g) + O_2 (g) + H_2O (g) + 3 CO_2 (g)$

We have 5 hydrogen atoms on the left, 2 on the right, so let's multiply the right-hand side by $\frac{5}{2}$ :

$C_3H_5N_3O_9 (l)\rightarrow \frac{3}{2}N_2 (g) + O_2 (g) + \frac{5}{2} H_2O (g) + 3 CO_2 (g)$

Finally, count the oxygen atoms. We have a total of 9 on the left. On the right we have (excluding oxygen molecule):

$\frac{5}{2} + 6 = 8.5$

This leaves $9 - 8.5 = 0.5 = \frac{1}{2}$ of oxygen. Since oxygen is diatomic, we need to take one fourth of it to get one half in total:

$C_3H_5N_3O_9 (l)\rightarrow \frac{3}{2}N_2 (g) + \frac{1}{4} O_2 (g) + \frac{5}{2} H_2O (g) + 3 CO_2 (g)$

To make it look neater without fractional coefficients, multiply both sides by 4:

$4 C_3H_5N_3O_9 (l)\rightarrow 6N_2 (g) + O_2 (g) + 10 H_2O (g) + 12 CO_2 (g)$

Question 2 (b). Now we can make use of the balanced chemical equation and apply it for the context of this separate problem. We're given the following variables:

$V_{CO_2} = 41.0 L$

$T = -14.0^oC + 273.15 K = 259.15 K$

$p = 1 atm$

Firstly, we may find moles of carbon dioxide produced using the ideal gas law $pV = nRT$ .

Rearranging for moles, that is, dividing both sides by RT (here R is the ideal gas law constant):

$n_{CO_2} = \frac{pV_{CO_2}}{RT} = \frac{1 atm\cdot 41.0 L}{0.08206 \frac{L atm}{mol K}\cdot 259.15 K} = 1.928 mol$

According to the stoichiometry of the balanced chemical equation:

$4 C_3H_5N_3O_9 (l)\rightarrow 6N_2 (g) + O_2 (g) + 10 H_2O (g) + 12 CO_2 (g)$

4 moles of nitroglycerin (ng) produce 12 moles of carbon dioxide. From here we can find moles o nitroglycerin knowing that:

$\frac{n_{ng}}{4} = \frac{n_{CO_2}}{12} \therefore n_{ng} = \frac{4}{12}n_{CO_2} = \frac{1}{3}\cdot 1.928 mol = 0.6427 mol$

Multiplying the number of moles of nitroglycerin by its molar mass will yield the mass of nitroglycerin decomposed:

$m_{ng} = n_{ng}\cdot M_{ng} = 0.6427 mol\cdot 227.09 g/mol = 146.0 g$
