Phosphorus can be prepared from calcium phosphate by the following reaction:

2Ca_3(PO_4)_2(s)+6SiO_2(s)+10C(s)\rightarrow 6CaSiO_3(s)+P_4(s)+ 10CO(g)

Phosphorite is a mineral that contains Ca_3(PO_4)_2 plus other non-phosphorus-containing compounds. What is the maximum amount of P_4 that can be produced from 2.3 kg of phosphorite if the phorphorite sample is 75% Ca_3(PO_4)_2 by mass? Assume an excess of the other reactants.

Answer: Thus the maximum amount of P_4 that can be produced is 0.345 kg

Explanation:

Given mass of phosphorite Ca_3(PO_4)_2  = 2.3 kg

As given percentage of phosphorite Ca_3(PO_4)_2 is = \frac{75}{100}\times 2.3kg=1.725kg=1725g

moles=\frac{\text {given mass}}{\text {Molar mass}}

{\text {moles of}Ca_3(PO_4)_2=\frac{1725g}{310g/mol}=5.56moles

2Ca_3(PO_4)_2(s)+6SiO_2(s)+10C(s)\rightarrow 6CaSiO_3(s)+P_4(s)+ 10CO(g)

According to stoichiometry:

2 moles of phosphorite gives = 1 mole of P_4

Thus 5.56 moles of phosphorite give= \frac{1}{2}\times 5.56=2.78moles of P_4

Mass of P_4=moles\times {\text {Molar mass}}=2.78mol\times 124g/mol=345g=0.345kg

Thus the maximum amount of P_4 that can be produced is 0.345 kg

A 0.055 mol sample of formaldehyde vapor, CH2O, was placed in a heated 500 mL vessel and some of it decomposed. The reaction is
Elis [28]

Answer:

Kc for this reaction is 0.06825

Explanation:

Step 1: Data given

Number of moles formaldehyde CH2O = 0.055 moles

Volume = 500 mL = 0.500 L

At equilibrium, the CH2O(g) concentration = 0.051 mol

Step 2: The balanced equation

CH2O  <=>  H2 + CO

Step 3: Calculate the initial concentrations

Concentration = moles / volume

[CH2O] = 0.055 moles . 0.500 L

[CH2O] = 0.11 M

[H2] = 0M

[CO] = 0M

Step 4: The concentration at the equilibrium

[CH2O] = 0.11 - X M = 0.051 M

[H2] = XM

[CO] = XM

[CH2O] = 0.11 - X M = 0.051 M

X = 0.11 - 0.051 = 0.059

[H2] = XM = 0.059 M

[CO] = XM = 0.059 M

Step 5: Calculate Kc

Kc = [H2][CO]/[CHO]

Kc = (0.059 * 0.059) / 0.051

Kc = 0.06825

Kc for this reaction is 0.06825

The equation for the chemical reaction shown below is not balanced. What number should replace the question mark to balance this
malfutka [58]
B. the number 3.
there are 2Al's on both sides and 6 Cl's on the right side so to balance it, you multiply Cl2 by 3 to get 6 Cl's.

Could ethanol vapor collect in low spots?
Leviafan [203]

Answer:

Yes

Explanation:

Denatured ethanol fuel is a polar solvent, which is soluble in water. A

Polar solvent is a compound with a charge separation in chemical bonds, such as  alcohol, most acids, or ammonia. These have affinity with water and  will dissolve easily. Denatured fuel ethanol has a flash point of  -5 ° F and a vapor density of 1.5, indicating that it is heavier than air.

Consequently, ethanol vapors do not rise, similar to the gasoline vapors they are looking for  lower altitudes. The specific gravity of denatured fuel ethanol is 0.79, which  indicates that it is lighter than water and has a self-ignition temperature of 709 ° F and a  boiling point of 165-175 ° F. Like gasoline, the most denatured fuel,  the greatest danger of ethanol as an engine fuel component is its flammability.

It has a wider flammable range than gasoline (LEL is 3% and UEL is 19%).

Pressure gauge at the top of a vertical oil well registers 140 bars. The oil well is 6000 m deep and filled with natural gas dow
andreyandreev [35.5K]

Explanation:

(a)  The given data is as follows.

              Pressure on top (P_{o}) = 140 bar = 1.4 \times 10^{7} Pa       (as 1 bar = 10^{5})

              Temperature = 15^{o}C = (15 + 273) K = 288 K

         Density of gas = \frac{PM}{ZRT}

                \frac{dP}{dZ} = \rho \times g

               \frac{dP}{dZ} = \int \frac{PM}{ZRT}

                \int_{P_{o}}^{P_{1}} \frac{dP}{dZ} = \frac{Mg}{ZRT} \int_{0}^{4700} dZ

           ln (\frac{P_{1}}{P_{o}}) = \frac{18.9 \times 10^{-3} \times 9.81 \times 4700 m}{0.80 \times 8.314 J/mol K \times 288 K}

                              = 0.4548

                     P_{1} = P_{o} \times e^{0.4548}

                                 = 1.4 \times 10^{7} Pa \times 1.5797

                                 = 2.206 \times 10^{7} Pa

Hence, pressure at the natural gas-oil interface is 2.206 \times 10^{7} Pa.

(b)   At the bottom of the tank,

                 P_{2} = P_{1}  + \rho \times g \times h

                             = 2.206 \times 10^{7} Pa + 700 \times 9.81 \times (6000 - 4700)[/tex]

                             = 309.8 \times 10^{5} Pa

                             = 309.8 bar

Hence, at the bottom of the well at 15^{o}C pressure is 309.8 bar.
