Answer:

61%

Explanation:

Cd2+ and CD(OH)2 both contain the Cd2+ specie which is chemically similar to Zn2+both being in the same group in the periodic table. Cd2+ is know to be toxic when absorbed together with Zn 2+ ions and will definitely be toxic to the aquatic species.

Nitrogen gas reacts with hydrogen gas to produce ammonia. How many liters of hydrogen gas at 95kPa and 15∘C are required to prod
viktelen [127]

Answer:

222.30 L

Explanation:

We'll begin by calculating the number of mole in 100 g of ammonia (NH₃). This can be obtained as follow:

Mass of NH₃ = 100 g

Molar mass of NH₃ = 14 + (3×1)

= 14 + 3

= 17 g/mol

Mole of NH₃ =?

Mole = mass /molar mass

Mole of NH₃ = 100 / 17

Mole of NH₃ = 5.88 moles

Next, we shall determine the number of mole of Hydrogen needed to produce 5.88 moles of NH₃. This can be obtained as follow:

N₂ + 3H₂ —> 2NH₃

From the balanced equation above,

3 moles of H₂ reacted to produce 2 moles NH₃.

Therefore, Xmol of H₂ is required to p 5.88 moles of NH₃ i.e

Xmol of H₂ = (3 × 5.88)/2

Xmol of H₂ = 8.82 moles

Finally, we shall determine the volume (in litre) of Hydrogen needed to produce 100 g (i.e 5.88 moles) of NH₃. This can be obtained as follow:

Pressure (P) = 95 KPa

Temperature (T) = 15 °C = 15 + 273 = 288 K

Number of mole of H₂ (n) = 8.82 moles

Gas constant (R) = 8.314 KPa.L/Kmol

Volume (V) =?

PV = nRT

95 × V = 8.82 × 8.314 × 288

95 × V = 21118.89024

Divide both side by 95

V = 21118.89024 / 95

V = 222.30 L

Thus the volume of Hydrogen needed for the reaction is 222.30 L

Why is it important to know what temperature scale is being used in a given situation?
Arisa [49]
It depends, for example, it is quite important to know the Kelvin scale (i.e 0 degrees Celsius is 273 K and -273 degrees Celsius is 0 K ) when dealing gases. But I don't know other situations where you would need to know other temperature scales.

Hope this helps and also if you are using Fahrenheit 1 Fahrenheit is -17.22 degrees Celsius
