Hello!

A biconditional statement is when one conditional statement and it's converse is true.

A conditional statement is an "If hypothesis, then conclusion" statement.

A converse statement is an "If conclusion, then hypothesis" statement.

Looking at this, both of these statements have their hypothesis and conclusion switched.

Thus, a biconditional statement is a "Hypothesis IFF conclusion." In this statement, IFF means if and only if.

Therefore, when IFF is used in a biconditional statement, it means if and only if.

In a reaction 4 NH3 + 5 O2 → 4 NO + 6 H2O, 1 mole of ammonia reacts with 2 moles of oxygen. Which of these is correct after the

Vsevolod [243]

Answer:

Option B) All the ammonia is consumed

Explanation:

1. Balanced chemical equation (given):

$4NH_3+5O_2\rightarrow 4NO+6H_2O$

2. Theoretical mole ratios:

$4molNH_3:5molO_2:4molNO:6H_2O$

3. Limiting reactant:

When 1 mole of ammonia is combined with 2 moles of oxygen, the mole ratio is:

$1molNH_3:2molO_2$

Hence, one of the reactants will be completely consumed (the limiting reactant) and, after completion, an excess of the other will remain unreacted.

You need to compare the the actual ratio with the theoretical ratio.

4/5 > 1/2

Hence, NH₃ is in less proportion with respect to oxygen than what is theoretically needed, and the former is the limiting reactant.

Therefore, the 1 mole (all) of ammonia will be consumed, while some oxygen will remain as excess. This is described by the option B) All the ammonia is consumed.

4. Analyze the other options:

The amount of oxygen that will react is:

$1molNH_3\times5molO_2/4molNH3=5/4molO_2$

And the amount that will remain is:

$2molO_2-4/5molO_2=6/5molO_2$

Neither option A) nor C) describe that situation.

The amount of water produced is:

$1molNH_3\times 6molH_2O/4molNH_3=1.5molH_2O$ , which is not described by the option D).

Hence, the correct answer is the option B) All the ammonia is consumed.

for a neutralization reaction, would you expect the magnitude of q to increase, decrease, or stay the same if the concentration

ikadub [295]

For a neutralization reaction, the value of q(heat of neutralization) is doubled when the concentration of only the acid is doubled.

A neutralization reaction is a reaction in which an acid reacts with a base to yield salt and water. Ionically, a neutralization reaction goes as follows; H^+(aq) + OH^-(aq) ------> H20(l).

The heat of neutralization (Q) of the system depends on the concentration of the solutions. Since Q is dependent on concentration, if the concentration of any of the reactants is doubled, more heat is evolved hence Q is doubled.
