Answer:

It is a triglyceride

Explanation:

A triglyceride is a molecule that contains a glycerol group and three fatty acids linked by an ester linkage. A fatty acid is a molecule formed by a long linear hydrocarbon chain, of different length or number of carbon atoms, at the end of which is a carboxyl group. These chains can be saturated (with hydrogen) or when there are double bonds in the chain this reduces the available places of hydrogen that's why it's called unsaturated.

In the image you can see on the right the glycerol group. And the three fatty acids extending to the left. The top one is an example of a saturated fatty acid, and the two below unsaturated.

Triglycerides are generally solid at room temperature and are therefore called fats. For example, the fat that constitutes us is mostly formed by triglycerides.

A vessel of volume 22.4 dm3 contains 20 mol h2 and 1 mol n2 ad 273.15 k initially. All of the nitrogen reacted with sufficient h

NikAS [45]

Nitrogen combine with hydrogen to produce ammonia $\text{NH}_3$ at a $1:3:2$ ratio:

$\text{N}_2 \; (g) + 3 \; \text{H}_2 \; (g) \leftrightharpoons 2\; \text{NH}_3 \; (g)$

Assuming that the reaction has indeed proceeded to completion- with all nitrogen used up as the question has indicated. $3 \; \text{mol}$ of hydrogen gas would have been consumed while $2 \; \text{mol}$ of ammonia would have been produced. The final mixture would therefore contain

$17 \; \text{mol}$ of $\text{H}_2 \; (g)$ and
$2 \; \text{mol}$ of $\text{NH}_3 \; (g)$

Apply the ideal gas law to find the total pressure inside the container and the respective partial pressure of hydrogen and ammonia:

$\begin{array}{lll} P(\text{container}) &= & n \cdot R \cdot T / V \\ & = & (17 + 2) \; \text{mol} \times 8.314 \; \text{L} \cdot \text{kPa} \cdot \text{mol}^{-1} \cdot \text{K}^{-1} \\ & &\times 273.15 \; \text{K} / (22.4 \; \text{L}) \\ &=& 1.926 \times 10^{3} \; \text{kPa} \end{array}$
$\begin{array}{lll} P(\text{H}_2) &= & n \cdot R \cdot T / V \\ & = & (17) \; \text{mol} \times 8.314 \; \text{L} \cdot \text{kPa} \cdot \text{mol}^{-1} \cdot \text{K}^{-1} \\ & &\times 273.15 \; \text{K} / (22.4 \; \text{L}) \\ &=& 1.723 \times 10^{3} \; \text{kPa} \end{array}$
$\begin{array}{lll} P(\text{NH}_3) &= & n \cdot R \cdot T / V \\ & = & (2) \; \text{mol} \times 8.314 \; \text{L} \cdot \text{kPa} \cdot \text{mol}^{-1} \cdot \text{K}^{-1} \\ & &\times 273.15 \; \text{K} / (22.4 \; \text{L}) \\ &=& 2.037 \times 10^{2} \; \text{kPa} \end{array}$
