7.5 mol of hydrogen would be needed to consume the available nitrogen.

Explanation:

When hydrogen reacts with nitrogen, ammonia is formed as shown below;

3H₂ (g) + N₂ (g) → 2NH₃ (g)

As seen from the equation, every 3 moles of H₂ react with a mole of N₂ to form 2 moles of NH₃.

The limiting factor in a chemical reaction is the reactant that gets depleted first.

Because the molar mass of nitrogen gas is approximately 28g/mol, 70g of nitrogen gas would be 2.5 moles.

The reaction ratio of nitrogen to hydrogen in the reaction is 1 : 3. The reaction would require 2.5 * 3 (7.5) moles of hydrogen for a complete reaction.

However since there are only 7g on hydrogen, (Remember 1 mole of H₂ is approximately 2g), the available moles of H₂ is 7 / 2 = 3.5

3.5 moles fall short of the 7.5 moles of H₂ required for a complete reaction. H₂ gets depleted first before N₂. The reaction would require 4 more moles of H₂.

a radiator is filled with a mixture of 3.25kg ethylene glycol (C2H6O2) in 7.75kg of water. calculate the molality of this questi

Vladimir [108]

3.25 kg in g = 3.25 * 1000 = 3250 g

Molar mass C₂H₆O₂ = 62.0 g/mol

Mass solvent = 7.75 kg

Number of moles:

n = mass solute / molar mass

n = 3250 / 62.0

n = 52.419 moles

Molality = moles of solute / kilograms of solvent

M = 52.419 / 7.75

M = 6.7637 mol/kg

6. 100 ml of gaseous hydrocarbon consumes 300

mario62 [17]

Answer:

a. C₂H₄

Explanation:

At constant pressure and temperature, the mole ratio of the gases is equal to their volume ratio (a consequence of Avogadro's law).

Hence, the complete combustion reaction that has a ratio of 100 ml of gaseous hydrocarbon to 300 ml of oxygen, is that whose mole ratio is 1 mol hydrocarbon : 3 mol of oxygen.

Then, you must write the balanced chemical equations for the complete combustion of the four hydrocarbons in the list of choices, and conclude which has such mole ratio (1 mol hydrocarbon : 3 mol oxygen).

A complete combustion reaction of a hydrocarbon is the reaction with oxygen that produces CO₂ and H₂O, along with the release of heat and light.

a. C₂H₄:

C₂H₄ (g) + 3O₂ (g) → 2CO₂(g) + 2H₂O (g)

Precisely, for this reaction the mole ratio is 1 mol C₂H₄: 2 mol O₂, hence, this is the right choice.

The following analysis just shows that the other options are not right.

b. C₂H₂:

2C₂H₂ (g) + 5O₂ (g) → 4CO₂(g) + 2H₂O (g)

The mole ratio for this reaction is 2 mol C₂H₂ :5 mol O₂.

с. С₃Н₈

C₃H₈ (g) + 5O₂ (g) → 3CO₂(g) + 4H₂O (g)

The mole ratio is 1 mol C₃H₈ : 5 mol O₂

d. C₂H₆

2C₂H₆ (g) +7 O₂ (g) → 4CO₂(g) + 6H₂O (g)

The mole ratio is 2 mol C₂H₆ : 7 mol O₂

Which units are used to measure both velocity and speed? Select three options

Ede4ka [16]

Answer and Explanation:

The options aren't listed in your question, but here are some units that are regularly and normally used (in the classroom and in the outside world):

(The SI unit of distance and displacement is the meter. The SI unit of time is the second.)

Meters per Second (m/s)

kilometers per hour (km/hr)

kilometers per second (km/sec)

To find the average speed, you do distance divided by time.

To find the average velocity, you do the final position minus the initial position, divided by the final time minus the initial time.

How many moles of water as a gas can be formed 2.45 L

Alex17521 [72]

Answer:

0.11mole

Explanation:

Let us assume that the condition is at standard temperature and pressure(STP);

Given parameters:

Volume of water = 2.45L

Unknown:

Number of moles found in this volume of water = ?

Solution;

At STP;

Number of moles = $\frac{volume of gas}{22.4}$

Input the parameters and solve;

Number of moles of water = $\frac{2.45}{22.4}$ = 0.11mole

The number of moles of water found is 0.11mole
