Answer:

2Al_(_S_) ~+~3NH_4NO_3_(_a_q_) ->3N_2_(_g_) ~+~6H_2O_(_g_) ~+~Al_2O_3_(_S_)

Entalpy=-2861.9~KJ

Explanation:

In this case, we have to start with the <u>reagents</u>:

Al~+~NH_4NO_3

The compounds given by the problem are:

-) <u>Nitrogen gas</u> =  N_2

-) <u>Water vapor</u>  =  H_2O

-) <u>Aluminum oxide</u> =  Al_2O_3

Now, we can put the products in the <u>reaction</u>:

Al_(_S_) ~+~NH_4NO_3_(_aq_) ->N_2_(_g_) ~+~H_2O_(_g_) ~+~Al_2O_3_(_S_)

When we <u>balance</u> the reaction we will obtain:

2Al_(_S_) ~+~3NH_4NO_3_(_a_q_) ->3N_2_(_g_) ~+~6H_2O_(_g_) ~+~Al_2O_3_(_S_)

Now, for the enthalpy change, we have to find the <u>standard enthalpy values</u>:

Al_(_S_)=0~KJ/mol

NH_4NO_3_(_a_q_)=-132.0~KJ/mol

N_2_(_g_)=0~KJ/mol

H_2O_(_g_)=~-~241.8~KJ/mol

Al_2O_3_(_S_)=~-~1675.7~KJ/mol

With this in mind, if we <u>multiply</u> the number of moles (in the balanced reaction) by the standard enthalpy value,  we can calculate the energy of the <u>reagents</u>:

(0*2)~+~(-132*3)=~-396~KJ

And the <u>products</u>:

(0*3)~+~(-241.8*6)~+~(-1675.7*1)=-3125.9~KJ

Finally, for the total enthalpy we have to <u>subtract</u> products by reagents :

(-3125.9~KJ)-(-396~KJ)=-2729.9~KJ

I hope it helps!

In an ecosystem, what do organisms and populations with similar needs compete<br>over?​
hram777 [196]

Answer:

In any ecosystem, organisms and populations with similar requirements for food, water, oxygen, or other resources may compete with each other for limited resources, access to which consequently constrains their growth and reproduction. Growth of organisms and population increases are limited by access to resources.

How many grams of NH3 can be produced from the reaction of 28g of N2 and 25g of H2?
Reika [66]
N2<span> + 3H</span>2<span> = 2NH</span><span>3
so, NH3 = (N2 + 3H2)/ 2
            =  (28g + 3*25g)/2
            = 51.5g</span>

The table shows the amount of radioactive element remaining in a sample over a period of time.
Lunna [17]

Answer:

1. The half-life is 22 years.

2. 132 years

Explanation:

1. Determination of the the half-life.

The half-life of an element is the time taken for half the element to decay.

From the table given above, the original amount of the element 45 g. If we divide 45 by 2, we'll have 22.5 g as half the original amount of element.

Now, the time taken to obtain 22.5 g as shown from the table is 22 years.

Thus, the half-life the element is 22 years.

2. Determination of the time.

Original amount (N₀) = 308 g

Amount remaining (N) = 4.8125 g

Time (t) =?

Next, we shall the number of half-lives that has elapsed. This can be obtained as follow:

Original amount (N₀) = 308 g

Amount remaining (N) = 4.8125 g

Number of half-lives (n) =?

N = 1/2ⁿ × N₀

4.8125 = 1/2ⁿ × 308

Cross multiply

4.8125 × 2ⁿ = 308

Divide both side by 4.8125

2ⁿ = 308 / 4.8125

2ⁿ = 64

Express 64 in index form with 2 as the base.

2ⁿ = 2⁶

n = 6

Thus, 6 half-lives has elapsed.

Finally, we shall determine the time. This can be obtained as follow:

Number of half-lives (n) = 6

Half-life (t½) = 22 years

Time (t) =?

n = t / t½

6= t / 22 years

Cross multiply

t = 6 ×22

t = 132 years.

Thus, the time taken is 132 years.
