Answer:

  • <em>You could expect 3.48 grams of C₂H₄N₂</em>

Explanation:

You must start by stating the chemical equation for the reaction of ammonia, carbon dioxide, and methane to produce aminoaceto nitrile.

1. Word equation:

Ammonia + Carbon dioxide + Methane → Aminoacetonitrile + Water

2. Balanced chemical equation:

       8NH_3+5CO_2+3CH_4\rightarrow 4C_2H_4N_2 +10H_2O

3. Convert the mass of each reactant into number of moles:

<u>Formula:</u>

  • Number of moles = mass in grams/molar mass

<u>2.11g NH₃</u>

  • Number of moles = 2.11g / 17.03g/mol = 0.124 mol NH₃

<u>14.9g CO₂</u>

  • Number of moles = 14.9g/44.01g/mol = 0.339 mol CO₂

<u>1.75g CH₄</u>

  • Number of moles = 1.75g/16.04g/mol = 0.109 mol CH₄

4. Theoretical mol ratio

From the balanced chemical equation, using the coefficientes:

         8molNH_3:5molCO_2:3molCH_4:4molC_2H_4N_2:10molH_2O

5. Limiting reagent

The available amounts of the reactants are:

  • 0.124 mol NH₃
  • 0.339 mol CO₂
  • 0.109 mol CH₄

Fom the theoretical mole ration, to react with 0.124 mol of NH₃ you would need:

  • 0.124molNH₃ × (5molCO₂/8molNH₃) = 0.0775 mol CO₂

Since there are 0.339 moles available, this is in excess.

  • 0.124molNH₃ × (3molCH₄/8molNH₃) =  0.0465mol CO₂

Since there are 0.109 moles available, this is in excess too.

Hence, the limiting reagent is NH₃.

6. Yield

Use the theoretical ratio:

  • 0.124molNH₃ × (4molC₂H₄N₂ / 8molNH₃) = 0.0620 mol C₂H₄N₂

Convert to grams:

  • Mass = number of moles × molar mass
  • 0..0620 mol × 56.068g/mol = 3.48 g of C₂H₄N₂ ← answer

How does the kinetic-molecular theory explain the following properties of liquids:
Tcecarenko [31]

Answer:

"Kinetic energy of the gas is more as compared to that of the liquids. But when compare it to the solid, kinetic energy of liquid is more."

Explanation:

a) Relatively high density : This happens as a result of the tight or packed or can be say close arrangement of the particles.

b) Ability to diffuse : As we know that in gases the constant and the random motion of the particles of the liquid leads to diffusion. But it is very slow as compared to the gases and also porque liquid particles are close together.

c) Ability to evaporate:This happens as a result of the molecules of the liquid having different kinetic energies with particles having higher than that of the average energies that move faster.

Passing an electric current through a sample of water (H2O) can cause the water to decompose into hydrogen gas (H2) and oxygen g
Andreas93 [3]
2H2O --> 2H2 + O2
The mole H2O:mole O2 ratio is 2:1
Now determine how many moles of O2 are in 50g: 50g × 1mol/32g = 1.56 moles O2
Since 1 mole of O2 was produced for every 2 moles of H2O, we need 2×O2moles = H2O moles
2×1.56 = 3.13 moles H2O
Finally, convert moles to grams for H2O:
3.13moles × 18g/mol = 56.28 g H2O
D) 56.28
