Mass of the shells will remain constant.

Explanation:

Sedimentary rocks are formed by the rocks that have been weathered. The microscopic shells, small pieces of rocks and mineral particles get deposited on this weathered sedimentary rocks.

The texture or chemical properties of the microscopic shell get changed. but the amount of microscopic shell deposited to make sedimentary rocks remains the same.

Chalk and coral reefs are the example of sedimentary rocks made up with microscopic shells.

The skeletal part of the shells takes part in rock formation whose mass remains unchanged although physical and chemical properties go changes.

Ammonium nitrate, a common fertilizer, is used as an explosive in fireworks and by terrorists. It was the material used in the t
Sladkaya [172]

Explanation:

The given balanced reaction is as follows.

           2NH_{4}NO_{3} \rightarrow 2N_{2} + O_{2} + 4H_{2}O

It is given that mass of ammonium nitrate is 86.0 kg.

As 1 kg = 1000 g. So, 86.0 kg = 86000 g.

Hence, moles of NH_{4}NO_{3} present will be as follows.

      Moles of NH_{4}NO_{3} = \frac{mass given}{\text{molar mass of NH_{4}NO_{3}}}

                                  = \frac{86000 g}{80.043 g/mol}

                                  = 1074.42 mol

Therefore, moles of N_{2}, O_{2} and H_{2}O produced by 1074.42 mole of NH_{4}NO_{3} will be as follows.

  Moles of O_{2} = \frac{1}{2} \times 1074.42 mol

                                = 537.21 mol

Moles of N_{2} = \frac{2}{2} \times 1074.42 mol

                                = 1074.42 mol

Moles of H_{2}O = \frac{4}{2} \times 1074.42 mol

                                = 2148.84 mol

Therefore, total number of moles will be as follows.

          537.21 mol + 1074.42 mol + 2148.84 mol

        = 3760.47 mol

According to ideal gas equation, PV = nRT. Hence, calculate the volume as follows.

                       PV = nRT

                     1 atm \times V = 3760.47 mol \times 0.0821 L atm/mol K \times 580 K[/tex]         (as 307^{o}C = 307 + 273 = 580 K)

                           V = 179066.06 L

Thus, we can conclude that total volume of the gas is 179066.06 L.

In the presence of dry sulfuric acid at 100 degree c, salicylic acid can react with itself to form a water-insoluble precipitate
Leya [2.2K]
The side reaction will affect the purity and percent yield that, it will decrease the purity and also decrease the present yield.
Due to side reaction, the amount of aspirin which is being produced will be less for some amount of starting material which is used. The present yield will decrease. The insoluble water which is being precipitated is formed as a result of the side-reaction which will remain with aspirin and finally contaminate the aspirin.
The purity of aspirin will also decrease.
