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

In a labratory activity the density of a sample of vanadium is determined to be 6.9g/cm^3 at room temperature. what is the perce
Snowcat [4.5K]

Answer:

c : 13%

Explanation:

Data Give:

Experimental density of vanadium = 6.9 g/cm³

percent error = ?

Solution:

Formula used to calculate % error

  % error = [experimental value -accepted value/accepted value] x 100

The reported accepted density value for vanadium = 6.11 g/cm³

Put value in the above equation

                  % error = [ 6.9 - 6.11 / 6.11 ] x 100

                  % error = [ 0.79 / 6.11 ] x 100

                  % error = [ 0.129] x 100

                  % error = 12.9

Round to the 2 significant figure

% error = 13 %

So, option c is correct

Assuming complete dissociation, what is the ph of a 3.24 mg/l ba(oh)2 solution?
weqwewe [10]
We need to first find the molarity of Ba(OH₂) solution.
A mass of 3.24 mg is dissolved in 1 L solution.
Ba(OH)₂ moles dissolved - 3.24 x 10⁻³ g/171.3 g/mol = 1.90 x 10⁻⁵ mol
dissociaton of Ba(OH)₂ is as follows;
Ba(OH)₂ --> Ba²⁺ + 2OH⁻
1 mol of Ba(OH)₂ dissociates to form 2OH⁻ ions.
Therefore [OH⁻] = (1.90 x 10⁻⁵)x2  = 3.8 x 10⁻⁵ M
pOH = -log[OH⁻]
pOH = -log (3.8 x 10⁻⁵)
pOH = 4.42
pH + pOH = 14
therefore pH = 14 - 4.42 
pH = 9.58

Limestone (CaCO3) is decomposed by heating to quicklime (CaO) and carbon dioxide. Calculate how many grams of quicklime can be p
Harman [31]

Answer: 2800 g

Explanation:

CaCO_3(s)\rightarrow CaO(s)+CO_2(g)

According to avogadro's law, 1 mole of every substance weighs equal to molecular mass and contains avogadro's number 6.023\times 10^{23} of particles.

\text{Number of moles}=\frac{\text{Given mass}}{\text{Molar mass}}

Given mass = 5 kg = 5000 g

\text{Number of moles}=\frac{5000g}{100g/mol}=50moles

1 mole of CaCO_3 produces = 1 mole of CaO

50 moles of CaCO_3 produces =\frac{1}{1}\times 50=50moles of CaO

Mass of CaO=moles\times {\text{Molar mass}}=50moles\times 56g/mole=2800g

2800 g of CaO is produced from 5.0 kg of limestone.

If an element has three isotopes with known masses, what other information is needed to find the average atomic mass of the elem
Art [367]
You need to find the abundance. Then, multiply the abundance by 100, and add that to the mass for each isotope. Basically, for each isotope, take the percentage abundance and add it to the mass. Multiply each calculation of these together to get your average atomic mass,

How many grams of CaF2 would be needed to produce 1.12 moles of F2?
zlopas [31]

Step 1 : Write balanced chemical equation.

CaF₂ can be converted to F₂ in 2 steps. The reactions are mentioned below.

I] CaF_{2} + H_{2} SO_{4} -------> 2HF + CaSO_{4}

II] 2HF -------> H_{2} + F_{2}

The final balanced equation for this reaction can be written as

CaF_{2} + H_{2} SO_{4} --------->  CaSO_{4} + H_{2} + F_{2}

Step 2: Find moles of CaF₂ Using balanced equation

We have 1.12 mol F₂

The mole ratio of CaF₂ and F₂ is 1:1

1.12mol F_{2} *  \frac{1molCaF_{2}}{1molF_{2}}    = 1.12molCaF_{2}

Step 3 : Calculate molar mass of CaF2.

Molar mass of CaF₂ can be calculated by adding atomic masses of Ca and F

Molar mass of CaF₂ = Ca + 2 (F)

Molar mass of CaF₂ = 40.08 + 18.998 = 78.08 g

Step 4 : Find grams of CaF₂

Grams of CaF₂ = 1.12molCaF_{2} *\frac{78.08gCaF_{2}}{1mol CaF_{2}}

Grams of CaF₂ = 87.45 g

87.45 grams of CaF2 would be needed to produce 1.12 moles of F2.
