Ammonia, NH 3 , may react with oxygen to form nitrogen gas and water. 4 NH 3 ( aq ) + 3 O 2 ( g ) ⟶ 2 N 2 ( g ) + 6 H 2 O ( l )

If 3.55 g NH 3 reacts with 5.33 g O 2 and produces 0.450 L of N 2 , at 295 K and 1.00 atm, how many moles of N 2 can be produced by each reactant? NH 3 : mol N 2 O 2 : mol N 2 Based on the theoretical yields, which reactant is limiting?

Answer:

The limiting reactant is NH₃

0.0186moles of N₂ are the one produced by the limiting reactant

0.020 moles of N₂ are the one produced by the reactant in excess

Explanation:

This is the reaction

4NH₃ + 3O₂  → 2N₂ + 6H₂O

We should calculate the moles of each reactant

Mass / Molar mass = Moles

3.55 g / 17g/m = 0.208 moles NH₃

5.33 g / 32g/m = 0.166 moles O₂

4 moles of ammonia react with 3 moles of oxygen

0.208 moles of ammonia react with (0.208  .3)/4 = 0.156 moles O₂

We have 0.166 moles of O₂ and we need 0.156 moles, so O₂ is the reactant in excess.

3 moles of O₂ react with 4 moles of NH₃

0.166 moles of O₂ react with (0.166 . 4)/ 3 = 0.221 moles

We have 0.208 moles NH₃ and we need 0.221, so NH₃ is the limiting reactant.

To know the moles of N₂, let's apply the Ideal Gas Law

P.V =n.R.T

1atm . 0.450L = n . 0.082 . 295K

0.450 / (0.082 .295) = 0.0186 moles

If we have 100 % yield reaction:

4 moles NH₃ make 2 moles N₂

0.208 moles NH₃ make (0.208  .2)/4 = 0.104 moles

So the % yield reaction is.

0.104 moles ___ 100%

0.0186 moles ___ 17.9%

0.0186moles of N₂ are the one produced by the limiting reactant.

3 moles of O₂ produce 2 moles N₂

0.166 moles O₂ produce  (0.166  .2)/3 = 0.111 moles

Now, we apply the yield.

100% ____ 0.111 moles

17.9% = 0.020 moles

Answer:

The limiting reactant is NH3

Theoretical there can be produced 0.104 moles of N2

The actual yield is 0.0186 moles N2

Explanation:

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

Mass of NH3 = 3.55 grams

Mass of O2 = 5.33 grams

Volume of N2 = 0.450 L

Temperature = 295 K

Pressure = 1.00 atm

Molar mass NH3 = 17.03 g/mol

Molar mass O2 = 32 g/mol

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

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

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

Moles NH3 = Mass NH3 / molar mass NH3

Moles NH3 = 3.55 grams / 17.03 g/mol

Moles NH3 = 0.208 moles

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

Moles O2 = 5.33 grams / 32.0 g/mol

Moles O2 = 0.167 moles

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

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

NH3 is the limiting reactant. It will completely be consumed (0.208 moles).

O2 is in excess. There will be consumed 3/4 * 0.208 = 0.156 moles O2

There will remain 0.167 - 0.156 = 0.011 moles

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

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

For 0.208 moles NH3 we produce 0.208/2 = 0.104 moles of N2 ( = the theoretical yield)

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

p*V = n*R*T

⇒ p = the pressure =1.00 atm

 ⇒ V = the volume of N2 = TO BE DETERMINED

 ⇒ n= the number of moles of N2 = 0.104 moles

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

⇒ T = the temperature = 295 K

V = (n*R*T)/p

V = (0.104*0.08206*295)/1

V = 2.52 L =( theoretical yield)

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

% yield = actual yield / theoretical yield

% yield = (0.45 L / 2.52 L) *100%

% yield = 17.9 %

Theoretical there can be produced 0.104 moles of N2

The actual yield is 0.0186 moles N2

Which of the following is an example of erosion?
Drupady [299]

Answer:

Glaciers moving rocks and soil through a valley

Explanation:

The definition of Erosion is "the process of eroding or being eroded by wind, water, or other natural agents". Which in turn means the movement of glaciers is causing erosion on the local valley.

Calcium reacts with Hydrochloric acid to produce Calcium chloride and
hammer [34]

Answer:

Mass = 2.77 g

Explanation:

Given data:

Mass of HCl = 2 g

Mass of CaCl₂ produced = ?

Solution:

Chemical equation:

2HCl + Ca    →     CaCl₂ + H₂

Number of moles of HCl:

Number of moles = mass / molar mass

Number of moles = 2 g/ 36.5 g/mol

Number of moles = 0.05 mol

now we will compare the moles of HCl with CaCl₂.

                   HCl       :         CaCl₂

                     2         :          1

                   0.05     :       1/2×0.05 = 0.025 mol

Mass of CaCl₂:

Mass = number of moles × molar mass

Mass = 0.025 mol × 110.98 g/mol

Mass = 2.77 g
