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

What is the pH of 0.000134 M solution of HCI?
mafiozo [28]

Answer: The pH will be 3.87

Explanation:

pH or pOH is the measure of acidity or alkalinity of a solution.

pH is calculated by taking negative logarithm of hydrogen ion concentration.

pH=-\log [H^+]

HCl\rightarrow H^++Cl^{-}

According to stoichiometry,

1 mole of HCl gives 1 mole of H^+

Thus 0.000134 moles of HCl gives =\frac{1}{1}\times 0.000134=0.0001342 moles of H^+

Putting in the values:

pH=-\log[0.000134]

pH=3.87

Thus the pH will be 3.87

Difference between Rapid and spontaneous composition​
Over [174]

Answer:

<em><u>spontaneous composition</u></em> is the ingnition

of the substance due to the repid oxidation of its on material.

There is no requirement of heat of external sources.

<em><u>Rapid composition</u></em> on the other hand release large amount of heat and light energy.

Explosion and the firecracker is the best example of Rapid composition.

The noble gases are inert due to the fact that A. their valence shell is empty B. their valence shell is full C. their electrons
coldgirl [10]

Answer:

B) Their valence shell is full

Explanation:

In order to be classified as a noble gas, an element must have a complete octet/ a full shell of valence electrons, as shown in answer B.

A and C are just incorrect. Since noble gasses are very unstable, D is a true statement, but is isn't the correct answer as this does not explain why they are inert.

Care to help me guys please​
earnstyle [38]

Answer:

A. Na₂SO₄ and HCl

C. Polar solutes are soluble in polar solvents but are insoluble in non-polar solvents Non-polar solutes are insoluble in polar solvents but are are soluble in non-polar solvents

Ionic solutes are soluble in polar solvents but are insoluble in non-polar solvents.

Like dissolves like simply means that molecules of substances having similar chemical properties dissolve in each other

Explanation:

A. Ionic substances like Na₂SO₄ are composed of charged particles called ions. These ions are either positively charged or negatively charged, therefore, they are attracted to substances of opposite charges. Also, polar molecules like HCl contains two oppositely charged ends. A polar solvent consists of molecules with two oppositely charged ends, therefore, ionic substances as well polar substances dissolve in them according to the concept of like dissolves like.

Gasoline being non-polar will only dissolve in like substances, polar solvents.

C. Polar solutes are soluble in polar solvents but are insoluble in non-polar solvents Non-polar solutes are insoluble in polar solvents but are are soluble in non-polar solvents

Ionic solutes are soluble in polar solvents but are insoluble in non-polar solvents.

The statement "Like dissolves like" simply means that molecules of substances having similar chemical properties dissolve in each other. For example gasoline, a non-polar substance will dissolve only in a non-polar solvent like kerosene. Also, HCl, a polar molecule will dissolve in a polar solvent like water.
