Nitric acid is a key industrial chemical, largely used to make fertilizers and explosives. The first step in its synthesis is th

e oxidation of ammonia. In this reaction, gaseous ammonia reacts with dioxygen gas to produce nitrogen monoxide gas and water.Suppose a chemical engineer studying a new catalyst for the oxidation of ammonia reaction finds that 645. liters per second of dioxygen are consumed when the reaction is run at 195.oC and 0.88 atm. Calculate the rate at which nitrogen monoxide is being produced. Give your answer in kilograms per second. Be sure your answer has the correct number of significant digits.

Answer:

The answer is 0.36 kg/s NO

Explanation:

the chemical reaction of NH3 to NO is as follows:

4NH3(g) + 5O2(g) ⟶4 NO(g) +6 H2O(l)

We have the following data:

O2 Volume rate = 645 L/s

P = 0.88 atm

T = 195°C + 273 = 468 K

NO molecular weight = 30.01 g/mol  

we calculate the moles found in 645 L of O2:

P*V = n*R*T

n = P*V/R*T

n= (0.88 atm * 645L/s)/((0.08205 L*atm/K*mol) * 468 K) = 14.78 moles of O2

With the reaction we can calculate the number of moles of NO and with its molecular weight we will have the rate of NO:

14.78 moles/s O2 * 4 molesNO/5 molesO2 * 30.01 g NO/1 molNO x 1 kgNO/1000 gNO = 0.36 kg/s NO

How are exothermic and endothermic reactions linked in the process of refining metal ore?
Alex777 [14]
The intended sense is that of a reaction that depends on absorbing heat if it is to proceed. The opposite of an endothermic process is an exothermic process, one that releases "gives out" energy in the form of heat

This is what your screen should look like. start with Hydrogen -1 and drag 2 neutrons over the to the nucleus. What happens to t
Alekssandra [29.7K]

Answer:

A tritium is produced.

Explanation:

Combining two additional neutrons to the nucleus of the hydrogen atom makes it a tritium, Hydrogen-3.

   neutron is designated  ¹₀n; this shows a mass number of 1 and no atomic number

  Hydrogen-1 is designated as ₁¹H; a mass number of 1 and atomic number of 1. This particle is actually more like a proton.

        Combining both:

                  ₁¹H + 2¹₀n → ³₁H

This is a nuclear reaction and in balancing such reaction equation, mass numbers and atomic numbers must be conserved.
