Aside from biological functions like breathing, the best use of air is for energy. In order to burn anything, it must react with oxygen. You can credit the energy produced by fossil fuels as much to oxygen in the air as you could to the fuel itself!

You might argue that air is a resource in pneumatic pressure systems as well, using the air as a medium for storing energy as pressure.

Air is also “mined” for trace elements through air separation. For the most part, it is nitrogen that is extracted, because it accounts for 78% of gases in the atmosphere. Trace elements like noble gases, such as argon, are also extracted in this way.

Onsider the following reaction at equilibrium:
11111nata11111 [884]

Explanation:

Any change in the equilibrium is studied on the basis of Le-Chatelier's principle.

This principle states that if there is any change in the variables of the reaction, the equilibrium will shift in the direction to minimize the effect.

For the given equation:

C(s)+H_2O(l)\leftrightharpoons CO(g)+H_2(g)

A. C is added to the reaction mixture.

If the concentration of reactant specie is increased , according to the Le-Chatlier's principle , the equilibrium will shift in the direction where decrease in concentration of reactant specie occurs. So, on increasing C ,equilibrium will shift in right direction.

B. H_2O is condensed and removed from the reaction mixture.

If the concentration of reactant specie is decreased , according to the Le-Chatlier's principle , the equilibrium will shift in the direction where increase in concentration of reactant specie occurs. So, on removing water vapor ,the equilibrium will shift in left direction.

C. CO is added to the reaction mixture.

If the concentration of product specie is increased , according to the Le-Chatlier's principle , the equilibrium will shift in the direction where decrease in concentration of product specie occurs. So, on increasing CO, the equilibrium will shift in left direction.

D. H_2 is removed from the reaction mixture.

If the concentration of product specie is decreased , according to the Le-Chatlier's principle , the equilibrium will shift in the direction where increase in concentration of product specie occurs. So, on removing hydrogen , the equilibrium will shift in right direction.

Answer:

b. 6.02 x 1023 molecules

Explanation:

The formula mass of ammonia is 14 + 1 × 3 = 17.

The number of moles in 27.6g ammonia is 27.6 ÷ 17 = 1.62 mol.

A mole is 6.02 × 10²³, so the number of hydrogen atoms in a 1.62 moles of ammonia is 1.62 × 6.02 × 10²³ × 3 = 2.93 × 10² atoms.

A reaction at -6.0 °C evolves 786. mmol of sulfur tetrafluoride gas. Calculate the volume of sulfur tetrafluoride gas that is co
borishaifa [10]

Answer:

V of Sulfur tetrafluoride is  17.2 L

Explanation:

Given data;

T = -6°C =  267K                                [1° C  = 273 K]

n = 786 mmol of SF4 which is 0.786 mol

P = 1 atm

from ideal gas law  we have

PV = nRT

where n is mole, R is gas constant, V is volume

V = \frac{nRT}{P}V = \frac{0.786 mol \times 0.082 atmL/mol K \times* 267K}{1atm} = 17.2 L

V of Sulfur tetrafluoride is  17.2 L
