The first step in industrial nitric acid production is the catalyzed oxidation of ammonia. Without a catalyst, a different react

ion predominates: 4NH3(g) + 3O2(g) ⇔ 2N2(g) + 6H2O(g) When 0.0280 mol gaseous NH3 and 0.0120 mol gaseous O2 are placed in a 1.00 L container at a certain temperature, the N2 concentration at equilibrium is 3.00×10-3 M. Calculate Keq for the reaction at this temperature.

<u>Answer:</u> The value of K_{eq} is 4.84\times 10^{-5}

<u>Explanation:</u>

We are given:

Initial moles of ammonia = 0.0280 moles

Initial moles of oxygen gas = 0.0120 moles

Volume of the container = 1.00 L

Concentration of a substance is calculated by:

\text{Concentration}=\frac{\text{Number of moles}}{\text{Volume}}

So, concentration of ammonia = \frac{0.0280}{1.00}=0.0280M

Concentration of oxygen gas = \frac{0.0120}{1.00}=0.0120M

The given chemical equation follows:

                  4NH_3(g)+3O_2(g)\rightleftharpoons 2N_2(g)+6H_2O(g)

<u>Initial:</u>        0.0280        0.0120

<u>At eqllm:</u>    0.0280-4x   0.0120-3x   2x       6x

We are given:

Equilibrium concentration of nitrogen gas = 3.00\times 10^{-3}M=0.003

Evaluating the value of 'x', we get:

\Rightarrow 2x=0.003\\\\\Rightarrow x=0.0015M

Now, equilibrium concentration of ammonia = 0.0280-4x=[0.0280-(4\times 0.0015)]=0.022M

Equilibrium concentration of oxygen gas = 0.0120-3x=[0.0120-(3\times 0.0015)]=0.0075M

Equilibrium concentration of water = 6x=(6\times 0.0015)]=0.009M

The expression of K_{eq} for the above reaction follows:

K_{eq}=\frac{[H_2O]^6\times [N_2]^2}{[NH_3]^4\times [O_2]^3}

Putting values in above expression, we get:

K_{eq}=\frac{(0.009)^6\times (0.003)^2}{(0.022)^4\times (0.0075)^3}\\\\K_{eq}=4.84\times 10^{-5}

Hence, the value of K_{eq} is 4.84\times 10^{-5}

If you run the reaction to make water: 2H2 + O2 → 2H2O, starting with 3.0 moles of hydrogen gas and 2.0 moles of oxygen gas, wha
Alex_Xolod [135]

Answer:

54 g is the theoretical yield

Explanation:

This is the reaction:

2H₂ + O₂ → 2H₂O

So 2 moles of hydrogen react with 1 mol of oxygen, to produce 2 mol of water.

If I have 3 moles of H₂ and 2 moles of O₂, the my limiting reactant is the hydrogen.

1 mol of O₂ react with 2 moles of H₂

S 2 mol of O₂ would react with 4 moles (I only have 3 moles)

Then, ratio is 2:2 the same as 1:1

As 2 mol of H₂ produce 2 moles of water, 3 moles of H₂ will produce 3 moles of H₂O.

This is the theoretical yield in moles. Let's convert them to mass (mol . molar mass)

3 mol . 18g/m = 54 g

What does buffer do?? (Chemistry)​
pogonyaev
A buffer is a solution that can resist pH change upon the addition of an acidic or basic components. It is able to neutralize small amounts of added acid or base, thus maintaining the pH of the solution relatively stable. This is important for processes and/or reactions which require specific and stable pH ranges. Buffer solutions have a working pH range and capacity which dictate how much acid/base can be neutralized before pH changes, and the amount by which it will change.

1. What is an isomer? How many possible isomers of hexane are there? What are the structural differences between these isomers?
VARVARA [1.3K]
Answer 1:
Isomers are compounds with same molecular formula but different structure formula. Isomers are classified into two types
a) Structural/configurational isomers
b) Stereo isomers
In structural/configurational isomers  atom and functional groups are attached in different fashion. Structural isomers may have different functional groups. Structural isomers are further classified as chain isomers, position isomers and functional isomers. In case of stereo-isomers, compounds have same functional group, but different orientation in space. They also have difference activity towards polarized light.

 Answer 2:
Hexane has a molecular formula of C6H14. It exhibits following structural isomers
a) hexane<span>,
b) 2-methylpentane
c)3-methylpentane
d) 2,2-dimethylbutane
e) 2,3-dimethylbutane
Thus, in all there are 5 isomers of hexane

Answer 3: 
</span><span>Butane has two possible isomers but that decane has 75 possible isomers. This can be attributed to the fact that butane has 4 carbon atoms, while decane has 10 carbon atom. As the number of carbon atom increases, there are higher possible sites of linkage, in different fashion. Therefore, as number 69 of carbon atoms increases, number of different possible isomers increases. 

Answer 4:
It has been observed that, though isomers have same molecular formula, but the have different boiling points. Infact, branched isomers have lower boiling point as compared to linear isomers. For example, hexane has boiling point = 69 oC, 2 methyl pentane has boiling point = 60 oC, 2,4, dimethyl butane has boiling point = 58 oC and 2,2 dimethyl butane has boiling point = 50 oC. Thus, it can be observed that branched isomers have lower boiling points as compared to linear isomers. This can be attributed to lower van der Waal's forces of interaction in branched isomers as compared to linear isomers.
