C. The mass number is the amount of Protons and electrons there are combined, so 200 - 80 is 120.

Answer: The correct answer is Option c.

Explanation:

Atomic number is defined as the number of protons or electrons that are present in a neutral atom.

Atomic number = number of protons = number of electrons

Mass number is defined as the sum of number of protons and number of neutrons present in an atom.

Mass number = Number of neutrons + Number of protons.

We are given:

Atomic number = 80

Mass number = 200

Number of neutrons = Mass number - Atomic number = 200 - 80 = 120

Hence, the correct answer is Option c.

Ammonia gas will react with oxygen gas to yield nitrogen monoxide gas and water vapor.

ruslelena [56]

Answer:

a) 0.168 moles O2

b) 9.50 grams O2

c) 0.01662 kg NO

d)88.9 %

Explanation:

Step 1: Data given

Molar mass of NH3 = 17.03 g/mol

Molar mass of O2 = 32 g/mol

Molar mass of NO = 30.01 g/mol

Molar mass of H2O = 18.02 g/mol

Step 2: The balanced equation:

4NH3 + 5O2 → 4NO + 6H2O

a. How many moles of ammonia will react with 6.73g of oxygen?

Calculate moles of oxygen = mass O2/ molar mass O2

moles oxygen = 6.73 grams / 32.00 g/mol = 0.210 moles

Calculate moles of NH3

For 4 moles of NH3 we need 5 moles O2 to produce 4 moles NO and 6 moles H2O

For 0.210 moles O2 we need 4/5 *0.210 = 0.168 moles O2

b. If 6.42g of water is produced, how many grams of oxygen gas reacted?

Calculate moles of H2O = 6.42 grams / 18.02 g/mol = 0.356 moles

Calculate moles of O2:

For 4 moles of NH3 we need 5 moles O2 to produce 4 moles NO and 6 moles H2O

For 0.356 moles H2O we'll need 5/6 * 0.356 = 0.297 moles O2

Calculate mass of O2 = moles O2 * molar mass O2

Mass O2 = 0.297 moles O2 * 32.00 g/mol = 9.50 grams O2

c. If the reaction uses up 9.43105 g of ammonia, how many kilograms of nitrogen monoxide will be formed?

Calculate moles of ammonia = 9.43105 grams / 17.03 g/mol =0.5538 moles

Calculate moles of NO:

For 4 moles of NH3 we need 5 moles O2 to produce 4 moles NO and 6 moles H2O

For 0.5538 moles of NH3 we'll have 0.5538 moles NO

Calculate mass of NO

Mass NO = 0.5538 moles * 30.01 g/mol = 16.62 grams = 0.01662 kg NO

d. When 2.51 g of ammonia react with 3.76 g of oxygen, 2.27 g of water vapor are produced. What is the percentage yield of water?

Calculate moles of NH3 = 2.51 grams / 17.03 g/mol = 0.147 moles

Calculate moles of O2 = 3.76 grams / 32 g/mol = 0.118 moles

Determine the limiting reactant

O2 is the limiting reactant, it will completely be consumed (0.118 moles)

NH3 is in excess. There will react 4/5 * 0.118 = 0.0944 moles

There will remain 0.147 - 0.0944 = 0.0526 moles

Calculate moles H2O: For 0.118 moles O2 we'll have 6/5 * 0.118 = 0.1416 moles H2O

Calculate mass H2O = 0.1416 moles * 18.02 g/mol = 2.552 grams H2O

Calculate % yield = (2.27/2.552)*100 % = 88.9 %

Why was 1,2 dichlorobenzene used as the solvent for the diels alder reaction we performed in the lab?

pav-90 [236]

Answer:

1,2 dichlorobenzene was used as the solvent for the diels alder reaction: because the co elimination part of the reaction needs high temp and a high boiling point solvent such as 1,2 dichlorobenzene

Explanation:

Diels-Alder Reaction is a useful synthetic tool to prepare cyclohexane rings. It is a process, which occurs in a single step that consists of a cyclic redistribution of its electrons. The two reagents are bond together through a cyclic transition state in which the two new C-C bonds are formed at the same time. For this to occur, most of the time, it is necessary a high temperature and high-pressure conditions. Since 1,2 dichlorobenzene has a boiling point of 180ºC is a good solvent for this type of reactions.
