Answer:

NH3 is the limiting reactant

The % yield is 36.1 %

Explanation:

<u>Step 1: </u>Data given

Mass of NH3 = 2.15 grams

Mass of O2 = 3.23 grams

Molar mass of NH3 = 17.03 g/mol

Molar mass of O2 = 32 g/mol

volume of N2 produced = 0.550 L

Temperature = 295 K

Pressure = 1.00 atm

<u>Step 2:</u> The balanced equation:

4NH3 (aq) + 3O2 (g) → 2 N2 (g) + 6H2O (l)

<u>Step 3:</u> Calculate moles of NH3

Moles NH3 = Mass NH3 / Molar Mass NH3

Moles NH3 = 2.15 grams / 17.03 g/mol

Moles NH3 = 0.126 moles

<u>Step 4:</u> Calculate moles of O2

Moles O2 = 3.23 grams / 32 g/mol

Moles O2 = 0.101 moles

<u>Step 5: </u>Calculate the limiting reactant

For 4 moles NH3 consumed, we need 3 moles of O2 to produce, 2 moles of N2 and 6 moles of H2O

NH3 is the limiting reactant. It will completely be consumed ( 0.126 moles).

O2 is in excess, there will be 3/4 * 0.126 = 0.0945 moles consumed

There will remain 0.101 - 0.945 = 0.0065 moles of O2

<u>Step 6:</u> Calculate moles of N2

For 4 moles NH3 consumed, we need 3 moles of O2 to produce, 2 moles of N2 and 6 moles of H2O

For 4 moles NH3 , we'll have 2 moles of N2 produced

For 0.126 moles NH3 consumed, we'll have 0.063 moles of N2 produced.

<u>Step 7</u>: Calculate volume of N2 produced

p*V = n*R*T

⇒ with p = the pressure of the gas = 1.00 atm

⇒ with V = the volume = TO BE DETERMINED

⇒ with n = the number of moles N2 = 0.063 moles

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

⇒ with T = the temperature = 295

V = (nRT)/p

V = (0.063*0.08206*295)/1

V = 1.525 L = theoretical yield

<u>Step 8:</u> Calculate the % yield

% yield = actual yield / theoretical yield

% yield = (0.550 L / 1.525 L)*100%

% yield = 36.1 %

Assuming ideal solution behavior, what is the freezing point of a solution of 9.04 g of I2 in 75.5 g of benzene?
cluponka [151]

Answer:

3.1°C

Explanation:

Using freezing point depression expression:

ΔT = Kf×m×i

<em>Where ΔT is change in freezing point, Kf is freezing point depression constant (5.12°c×m⁻¹), m is molality of the solution and i is Van't Hoff factor constant (1 For I₂ because doesn't dissociate in benzene).</em>

Molality of 9.04g I₂ (Molar mass: 253.8g/mol) in 75.5g of benzene (0.0755kg) is:

9.04g ₓ (1mol / 253.8g) = 0.0356mol I₂ / 0.0755kg = 0.472m

Replacing in freezing point depression formula:

ΔT = 5.12°cm⁻¹×0.472m×1

ΔT = 2.4°C

As freezing point of benzene is 5.5°C, the new freezing point of the solution is:

5.5°C - 2.4°C =

<h3>3.1°C</h3>

Into how many peaks will each proton shown in red be split
Tamiku [17]
The proton has two adjacent protons, so it splits into three peaks, a triplet. The proton has three adjacent protons, so it splits into four peaks, a quartet.
