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

An object with a mass of 3.2kg has a force of 16.3 newtons to the right and 6.7 newtons to the left applied to it. What is the r
Pepsi [2]

Answer:

3m/s²

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Mass of object  = 3.2kg

Force to the right = 16.3N

Force to the left  = 6.7N

Unknown:

Acceleration of the object  = ?

Solution:

To solve this problem, we use newtons second law of motion;

   Net force  = mass x acceleration

 Net force on object  = Force to the right  - Force to the left

 Net force  = 16.3N  - 6.7N  = 9.6N

    So;

         9.6  = 3.2 x a

              a = \frac{9.6}{3.2}   = 3m/s²

What volume (in mililiters) of oxygen gas is required to react with 4.03 g of my at stp
goldenfox [79]

You must use 1880 mL of O₂ to react with 4.03 g Mg.

A_r: 24.305

         2Mg + O₂ ⟶ 2MgO

<em>Moles of Mg</em> = 4.03 g Mg × (1 mol Mg/24.305 g Mg) = 0.1658 mol Mg

<em>Moles of O₂</em> = 0.1658 mol Mg × (1 mol O₂/2 mol Mg) = 0.082 90 mol O₂

STP is 25 °C and 1 bar. At STP, 1 mol of an ideal gas has a volume of <em>22.71 L</em>.

<em>Volume of O₂</em> = 0.082 90 mol O₂ × (22.71 L O₂/1 mol O₂) = 1.88 L = 1880  mL

What is the speed of light?can a object move in speed of light?​
timurjin [86]

Answer:

The speed of light is the speed at which light travels. No, an object cannot move at the speed of light.  

Explanation:

The speed of light is 186,000 miles per second. An object with mass cannot move at the speed of light since it would take an infinite amount of energy to achieve that velocity, since only massless particles can travel at the speed of light. Also, you would have to factor in air friction, meaning even if an object were to reach such high speeds, it would instantly disintegrate.

When an electron in a 2p orbital of a particular atom makes a transition to the 2s orbital, a photon of approximate wavelength 6
Mariulka [41]

Answer:

The energy difference between these 2p and 2s orbitals is 3.07\times 10^{-19} J

Explanation:

Wavelength of the photon emitted = \lambda =646.3 nm =646.3\times 10^{-9} m

Energy of the photon will corresponds to the energy difference between 2p and 2s orbital = E

Energy of the photon is given by Planck's equation:

E=\frac{hc}{\lambda }

h = Planck's constant = 6.626\tiomes 10^{-34} Js

c = Speed of the light = 3\times 10^8 m/s

E=\frac{6.626\tiomes 10^{-34} Js\times 3\times 10^8 m/s}{646.3\times 10^{-9} m}

E=3.07\times 10^{-19} J

The energy difference between these 2p and 2s orbitals is 3.07\times 10^{-19} J
