Question

What is the pressure in atmospheres of the gas remaining in the flask? Ignore the volume of solid NH4Cl produced by the reaction. g

Answer 1

Answer:

a) HCl is the limiting reagent.

b) Mass of NH₄Cl formed = 6.68 g

c) Pressure of the gas remaining in the flask = 1.742 atm

Explanation:

The complete Question is presented in the attached image to this solution.

To solve this question, we first need to obtain the limiting regaent for this reaction.

The limiting reagent is the reagent that is in short supply in the reaction and is used up in the reaction. It determines the amount of products that will be formed and the amount of other reactants that will be required for the reaction.

NH₃ (g) + HCl (g) ⟶ NH₄Cl (s)

1 mole of NH₃ reacts with 1 mole of HCl

we first convert the masses of the gases available to number of moles.

Number of moles = (Mass/Molar Mass)

Molar mass of NH₃ = 17.031 g/mol, Molar mass of HCl = 36.46 g/mol

Number of moles of NH₃ = (4.55/17.031) = 0.2672 mole

Number of moles of HCl = (4.55/36.46) = 0.1248 mole

Since 1 mole of NH₃ reacts with 1 mole of HCl

It is evident that HCl is in short supply and is the limiting reagent.

NH₃ is in excess.

So, to calculate the amount of NH₄Cl formed,

1 mole of HCl gives 1 mole of NH₄Cl

0.1248 mole of HCl will also gove 0.1248 mole of NH₄Cl

Mass (Number of moles) × (Molar Mass)

Molar mass of NH₄Cl = 53.491 g/mol

Mass of NH₄Cl formed = 0.1248 × 53.491 = 6.68 g

c) The gas remaining in the flask is NH₃

0.1248 mole of NH₃ is used up for the reaction, but 0.2672 mole was initially available for reaction,

The amount of NH₃ left in the reacting flask is then

0.2672 - 0.1248 = 0.1424 mole.

Using the ideal gas Equation, PV = nRT

We can obtain the rrequired pressure of the remaining gas in the flask

P = Pressure = ?

V = Volume = 2.00 L

n = number of moles = 0.1424 mole

R = molar gas constant = 0.08205 L.atm/mol.K

T = absolute temperature in Kelvin = 25 + 273.15 = 298.15 K

P = (nRT/V)

P = (0.1424×0.08205×298.15/2) = 1.742 atm

Hope this Helps!!!
