Nitric acid is often manufactured from the atmospheric gases nitrogen and oxygen, plus hydrogen prepared by reforming of natural

gas, in a two-step process. In the first step, nitrogen and hydrogen react to form ammonia: N2(g) + 3H2(g) ---> 2NH3(g) In the second step, ammonia and oxygen react to form nitric acid and water: NH3(g) + 2O2(g) ---> HNO3(g) + H2O(g) Write the net chemical equation for the production of nitric acid from nitrogen, hydrogen and oxygen. Be sure your equation is balanced.

<u>Answer:</u> The net chemical equation is given below.

<u>Explanation:</u>

To determine the net chemical equation, we will look into the intermediate steps:

<u>Step 1:</u> Formation of ammonia from hydrogen and nitrogen gas.

N_2(g)+3H_2(g)\rightarrow 2NH_3(g)        ......(1)

<u>Step 2:</u> Formation of nitric acid from ammonia and oxygen gas.

NH_3(g)+2O_2(g)\rightarrow HNO_3(g)+H_2O(g)      .....(2)

The net chemical equation for the formation of nitric acid from hydrogen gas, nitrogen gas and oxygen gas follows by adding both the equations, we get:

N_2(g)+2O_2(g)+3H_2(g)\rightarrow HNO_3(g)+H_2O(g)+NH_3(g)

By Stoichiometry of the reaction:

1 mole of hydrogen gas reacts with 2 moles of oxygen gas and 3 moles of hydrogen gas to produce 1 mole of nitric acid, 1 mole of water and 1 mole of ammonia.

Hence, the net chemical equation is given below.

C2H5OH(l) + 3O2(g) → 2CO2(g) + 3H2O(l), ΔH = –1.37 × 103 kJ For the combustion of ethyl alcohol as described in the above equati
babymother [125]

Answer:

The true statements are: I. The reaction is exothermic.

II. The enthalpy change would be different if gaseous water was produced.

Explanation:

The given chemical reaction: C₂H₅OH(l) + 3O₂(g) → 2CO₂(g) + 3H₂O(l),  ΔH= -1.37×10³kJ

1. In an exothermic reaction, heat or energy is released from the system to the surrounding. Thus for an exothermic process the change in enthalpy is less than 0 or negative (ΔH < 0) .

Since the enthalpy change for a combustion reaction is negative. <u>Therefore, the given reaction is exothermic.</u>

2. The change in enthalpy (ΔH) of a reaction is equal to difference of the sum of standard enthalpy of formation (ΔHf°) of the products and the reactants.

ΔHr° = ∑ n.ΔHf°(products) − ∑ n.ΔHf°(reactants)

As the value of ΔHf° of water in gaseous state and liquid state is not the same.

<u>Therefore, the enthalpy change of the reaction will be different, if gaseous water was present instead of liquid water.</u>

3. An oxidation-reduction reaction or a redox reaction involves simultaneous reduction and oxidation processes.

The given chemical reaction, represents the combustion reaction of ethanol.

Since combustion reactions are redox reactions. <u>Therefore, the given combustion reaction is an oxidation-reduction reaction.</u>

4. According to the ideal gas equation: P.V =n.R.T

Volume (V) ∝ n (number of moles of gas)

Since the number of moles (n) of gaseous reactants is 3 and number of moles of gaseous (n) products is 2.

<u>Therefore, the volume occupied by 3 moles of the reactant gaseous molecules will be more than 2 moles product gaseous molecules.</u>

Nadusha1986 [10]

The gas is confined in 3.0 L container ( rigid container) ⇒ the volume remains constant when the temperature is increased from from 27oC to 77oC and therefore V1=V2 .

Which of the following is true of group 6A?
USPshnik [31]

Answer:

The answer to your question is: Includes sulfur and gain two electrons

Explanation:

Includes Chlorine  This option is wrong, Chlorine belongs to group VII.

Includes Sulfur  This option is true, Group VI includes Oxygen, Sulfur, Selenium, Tellurium.

Gain 2 electrons . This option is true, Elements in group VI have six valence electrons so they gain to electrons to become estable.

Tend to form +2 ions  This option is wrong, this elements form -2 ions

Have 5 valence electrons This option is wrong, this elements have 6 valence electrons.
