Answer:

12 NH_3 (g)+ 21 O_2 (g) + \longrightarrow  14 H_2O (l) + 8 HNO_3 (g) + 4 NO (g)

Explanation:

The steps of the Ostwald process:

4 NH_3 (g) + 5 O_2 (g) \longrightarrow 4 NO (g) + 6 H_2O (g)

2 NO (g) + O_2 (g) \longrightarrow 2 NO_2 (g)

3 NO_2 (g) + H_2O (l) \longrightarrow 2 HNO_3 (g) + NO (g)

Combinning the equations:

4 NH_3 (g) + 5 O_2 (g) \longrightarrow 4 NO (g) + 6 H_2O (g)

+

(2 NO (g) + O_2 (g) \longrightarrow 2 NO_2 (g))*2

+

(3 NO_2 (g) + H_2O (l) \longrightarrow 2 HNO_3 (g) + NO (g))*4/3

=

4 NH_3 (g)+ 4 NO (g)+ 7 O_2 (g) + 4 NO_2 (g) +4/3 H_2O (l) \longrightarrow 4 NO (g) + 6 H_2O (g) +  4 NO_2(g) + 8/3 HNO_3 (g) + 4/3 NO (g)

Simplifying:

4 NH_3 (g)+ 7 O_2 (g) + \longrightarrow  14/3 H_2O (l) + 8/3 HNO_3 (g) + 4/3 NO (g)

12 NH_3 (g)+ 21 O_2 (g) + \longrightarrow  14 H_2O (l) + 8 HNO_3 (g) + 4 NO (g)

The overall reaction is endothermic becuase the formation of new chemical bonds requires energy consumption.

Mercury is a liquid meteal but it is not hard? how can we say it is a metal
NNADVOKAT [17]
What's the problem ? Hardness is not the definition of a metal. You need to expand your thinking. EVERY element is solid, liquid, and gas, over different ranges of temperature ... including all of the metals. There are only TWO elements that are liquid AT ROOM TEMPERATURE, and mercury is one of them. But on a mild day at the south pole, mercury is solid too.

Be sure to answer all parts. One gallon of gasoline in an automobiles engine produces on average 9.50 kg of carbon dioxide, whic
KIM [24]

Answer:

The answer is below

Explanation:

one gallon of gasoline produces 9.50 kg of carbon.

The total number of cars = 40 million

Distance covered by each car = 7930 miles

Consumption rate of the cars per miles traveled is 23.6 miles per gallon.

Hence the annual gasoline consumption by all the cars in the United States of America = (total number of cars × Distance covered by each car) ÷ Consumption rate of the cars per miles

annual gasoline consumption by all the cars = (40000000 × 7930 miles) ÷ 23.6 miles/gallon = `1.344067797 × 10¹⁰ gallons

1.344067797 × 10¹⁰ gallons = 1.344067797*10^{10}\  gallons *\frac{9.50\ kg}{1\ gallon} =1.276864407*10^{11}\ kg\ of \ carbon\ dioxide

3.Write the symbol of the element that has a charge of +1 when it has 71 electrons.​
tigry1 [53]

The symbol : \tt _{72}^{178}Hf^{+1}

<h3>Further explanation </h3>

There are two components that accompany an element, the mass number and atomic number

Atoms are composed of 3 types of basic particles (subatomic particles): <em>protons, electrons, and neutrons </em>

The Atomic Number (Z) indicates the number of protons and electrons in an atom of an element.

Atomic number = number of protons = number of electrons ⇒ neutral number

Atomic mass is the sum of protons and neutrons

Atomic Number (Z) = Atomic mass (A) - Number of Neutrons

The element has 71 electrons and a charge of +1 , so

Number of protons = 71 + 1 = 72

Number of protons = the atomic number = 72

The element with atomic number 72 is Hafnium(Hf)

The atomic mass of Hf = 178 g/mol
