The formation of carbondioxide is given by equation as

C + O2 ----> CO2(g)

As per balanced equation one mole of carbondioxide is obtained from one mole of carbon

if 44 g of CO2 is formed it means it contains 12 g of carbon

if 1g of CO2 is formed it means it contains 12/44 g of carbon

if 0.528g of CO2 is formed it means it contains = 12 X 0.528 / 44 g of carbon

                                                                           = 0.144g of carbon

Similarly for water

H2 + 0.5O2 ---> H2O

so one mole of water is obtained from one mole of H2

if 18g of water is formed it means 2g H2 is present

if 1g of water is formed it means 2/18 g of H2 is present

if 0.216g of water if formed it means 2 X 0.216 / 18g of H2 is present = 0.024g of Hydrogen

In glucose we have Carbon , Hydrogen and oxygen

As given the total mass of sample = 0.360g

Mass of carbon = 0.144 , moles of carbon = 0.144 / 12 = 0.012

Mass of hydrogen = 0.024 , moles of hydrogen = 0.024 /1 = 0.024

mass of oxygen = 0.360 - (0.144+0.024) = 0.192

Moles of oxygen = 0.192 / 16 = 0.012

So mole ratio of C : H : O = 0.012 : 0.024 : 0.012 = 1:2:1

Empirical formula = CH2O

Nitrogen (N2) and hydrogen (H2) react to form ammonia (NH3). Consider a mixture of six nitrogen molecules and six hydrogen molec
Nezavi [6.7K]

Answer:

a)  No molecules of hydrogen

b) four molecules of ammonia

c) four left molecules of nitrogen.

Explanation:

The balanced reaction between nitrogen and hydrogen molecules to give ammonia molecules is:

N_{2}(g)+3H_{2}(g) -->2NH_{3}

Thus one molecule of nitrogen will react with three molecules of hydrogen to give two molecules of ammonia.

We have six molecules of each nitrogen and hydrogen in the closed container and they undergo complete reaction it means the limiting reagent is hydrogen. For six molecules of nitrogen, eighteen molecules of hydrogen will be required.

So six molecules of hydrogen will react with two molecules of nitrogen to give four molecules of ammonia.

The product mixture will have

a) No molecules of hydrogen

b) four molecules of ammonia

c) four left molecules of nitrogen.

Acid rain can be destructive to both the natural environment and human-made structures. The equation below shows a
guapka [62]

Answer:

A

Explanation:

What the equation is tell you is that for every 3 mols of NO2 you get 2 mol of HNO3

3 mol NO2 / 2 mol HNO2 ===> 300.00 mol NO2 / x   Cross multiply

3x = 2 * 300

3x = 600                 Divide by 3

3x/3 = 600/3           Do the division

x = 200.00

How many moles of N2O5 are needed<br> to produce 7.90 g of NO2?
Roman55 [17]

Answer:

0.085 moles of  N₂O₅ are needed

Explanation:

Given data:

Mass of NO₂ produces = 7.90 g

Moles of N₂O₅ needed = ?

Solution:

2N₂O₅       →     4NO₂  + O₂

Number of moles of NO₂ produced :

Number of moles = mass/ molar mass

Number of moles = 7.90 g/ 46 g/mol

Number of moles = 0.17 mol

now we will compare the moles of NO₂   with N₂O₅.

                NO₂          :       N₂O₅

                  4            :          2

                0.17          :         2/4×0.17 = 0.085 mol

Thus, 0.085 moles of  N₂O₅ are needed.
