Given:

175 kilograms of Methane (CH4) to be synthesized into Hydrogen Cyanide (HCN)

The balanced chemical equation is shown below:

2 CH4<span> + 2 NH</span>3<span> + 3 O</span>2<span> → 2 HCN + 6 H</span>2<span>O
</span>
To calculate for the masses of ammonia and oxygen needed, our basis will be 175 kg CH4.

Molar mass:
CH4 = 16 kg/kmol
NH3 = 17 kg/kmol
O2 = 32 kg/kmol

mass of NH3 = 175 kg CH4 / 16 kg/kmol * (2/2) * 17 kg/kmol 
mass of NH3 = 185.94 kg NH3 needed

mass of O2 = 175 kg CH4 / 16 kg/kmol * (3/2) * 32 kg/kmol
mass of O2 = 525 kg

mass of O = 525 kg / 32 kg/kmol * (1/2) * 16 kg/kmol
mass of O = 131.25 kg O

5. What happens to the mass when you change<br> the volume?<br> It decreases
anastassius [24]

Explanation:If the mass of the object stays the same but the volume of the object decreases then its density becomes greater. If the volume of the object stays the same but the mass of the object increases then its density becomes greater.

Identify the Lewis acid and Lewis base in each reaction:Na⁺ + 6H₂O ⇆ Na (H₂O)⁺₆
klemol [59]

In the reaction, Na⁺ + 6H₂O ⇆ Na (H₂O)⁺₆, Na⁺ is a Lewis acid and H₂O is a Lewis base.

<h3>What is a Lewis acid-base reaction?</h3>
  • According to the Lewis theory of acid-base reactions, acids accept pairs of electrons and bases donate pairs of electrons.
  • Any substance like H+ ion, which is capable of accepting a pair of nonbonding electrons or an electron-pair acceptor is known as a Lewis acid.
  • Any substance, like the OH- ion, that is capable of donating a pair of nonbonding electrons or an electron-pair donor is a Lewis base.
  • Here Na⁺ that is electron deficient accepts electrons from the electron donor, H₂O
  • From the Lewis theory, with no change in the oxidation numbers of any atoms, acids react with bases to share a pair of electrons.

Use the formula: PV=nRT<br><br> If P=12, V=22.4, R=.0821 and T=100, then what would n=?
Lina20 [59]
PV=nRT \\ (12)(22.4)=n(.0821)(100) \\ 268.8=8.21n \\ 268.8/8.21=8.21n/8.21 \\ n=32.74
n ≈ 32.74

Gasoline has a density of 0.749 g/mL. How many pounds does 19.2 gallons of gasoline weigh? Use significant figures. Do not enter
Yanka [14]
In this question, you are given the gasoline density (0.749g/ml) and volume of the gasoline (19.2 gallons). You are asked the mass of the gasoline in pounds. Then you need to change the grams into pounds and the ml into gallons. The calculation would be:

mass of gasoline= density * volume
mass of gasoline=  0.749g/ml * (1 pound/453.592grams) * 3785.41ml/gallon * 19.2 gallon= 120 pounds
