Answer: 1.875 moles

Explanation:

2 NaN3(s) → 2 Na(s) + 3 N2(g)

From the equation above, Sodium azide has a chemical formula of NaN3 while nitrogen gas has a chemical formula of N2.

Therefore, If on decomposition

2 moles of NaN3 produce 3 moles of N2

1.25 mol of NaN3 produce Z moles of N2

To get the value of Z, cross multiply

Z x 2 moles = 3 moles x 1.25 moles

2 moles•Z = 3.75 moles²

Divide both sides by 2 moles

2 moles•Z/2 moles = 3.75 moles²/2 moles

Z = 1.875 moles

Thus, 1.875 moles of N2 are produced by the decomposition of 1.25 mol of sodium azide

A 68-kg man whose average body temperature is 39°C drinks 1 L of cold water at 3°C in an effort to cool down. Taking the average

Dmitry [639]

Answer:

<h3>The man's average body temp. will fall by 0.6°C to 38.4°C</h3>

Explanation:

The enthalpy (heat content) of the water, using a datum of 0°C, is

Hw = Mw kg x Cp,w (specific heat capacity kJ/kg °C) x Tw °C

= 1 kg x 4.18 kJ/kg°C x 3°C = 12.5 kJ

Hman (pre drink) = 68 kg x 3.6 kJ/kg/°C x 39°C = 9547 kJ

So Hman (post drink) = H (pre drink) + Hw = 9547 + 12.5 = 9559.5 kJ because no heat is lost immediately.

But Hman (after drink) has mass 68 + 1 = 69 kg

Also his new Cp will be approx (3.6 x 68/69) + (4.18 x 1/69) = 3.608 kJ/kg°C

So Hman = 9559.5 kJ (from above) = 69 kg x 3.608 kJ/kg°C x Tnew

Therefore the man's new overall temp. = 38.4°C which is a drop of 0.6°C

The reform reaction between steam and gaseous methane () produces "synthesis gas," a mixture of carbon monoxide gas and dihydrog

Bond [772]

Answer:

The rate at which dihydrogen gas is being produced = 0.018 kg/s

Explanation:

Firstly, we write the balanced equation for the production of the synthesis gas

CH₄ + H₂O → CO + 3H₂

The rate of consumption of CH₄ is 159 litres per second. With the reaction ran at T = 294°C and a pressure of 0.86 atm

Using the ideal gas equation, we can convert the volumetric rate of consumption of methane to molar rate of consumption

PV = nRT

PV' = n'RT

P = pressure = 0.86 atm = 87,139.5 Pa

V' = 159 L/s = 0.159 m³/s

n' = ?

R = molar gas constant = 8.314 J/mol.K

T = absolute temperature in Kelvin = 294°C = 567.15 K

87,139.5 × 0.159 = n' × 8.314 × 567.15

n' = (87,139.5 × 0.159) ÷ (8.314 × 567.15)

n' = 2.9383547773 mol/s = 2.938 mol/s

From the stoichiometry of this reaction,

1 mole of methane gives 3 moles of dihydrogen gas

2.938 mol/s of methane will correspond to (3 × 2.938) mol/s of dihydrogen gas, that is, 8.815 mol/s.

Mass flowrate = (molar flowrate) × (molar mass)

Molar flowrate = 8.815 mol/s

Molar mass of dihydrogen gas = 2 g/mol = 0.002 kg/mol

Mass flowrate = 8.815 × 0.002 = 0.0176301287 kg/s = 0.018 kg/s to 2 s.f.

Hope this Helps!!!
