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 liters per second of dioxygen are consumed when the reaction is run at and . Calculate the rate at which nitrogen monoxide is being produced. Give your answer in kilograms per second. Round your answer to significant digits.

Answer: When using 645 L /s  of O2 in a temperature and pressure of  195°C,  0.88 atm  respectively, we will get 0.355Kg /s NO

Explanation:

  • First we review the equation that represents the oxidation process of the NH3 to NO.

4NH3(g) + 5O2(g) ⟶4 NO(g) +6 H2O(l)  

  • Second we gather the information what we are going to use in our calculations.

O2 Volume Rate = 645 L /s

Pressure = 0.88 atm

Temperature = 195°C + 273 = 468K

NO molecular weight = 30.01 g/mol  

  • Third, in order to calculate the amount of  NO moles produced by 645L/ s of O2, we must find out, how many moles (n) are 645L O2 by using the general gas equation PV =n RT

Let´s keep in mind that using this equation our constant R is 0.08205Lxatm/Kxmol

PV =n RT

n= PV / RT

n= [ 0.88atm x 645L/s] / [ (0.08205 Lxatm/Kxmol) x 468K]

n= 14.781 moles /s of O2

  • Fourth, now by knowing the amount of moles of O2, we can use the equation to calculate how many moles of NO will be produced and then with the molecular weight, we will finally know the total mass per second .

14.781 moles /s of O2 x 4moles NO / 5 moles O2 x  30.01g NO / 1 mol NO x 1Kg NO /1000g NO = 0.355Kg /s NO

Calculate the density in g/mL of aluminum with a volume of 3.4mL and a mass of 18.99mg.
Gwar [14]

Answer:

The answer is

<h2>0.0056 g/mL</h2>

Explanation:

The density of a substance can be found by using the formula

density =  \frac{mass}{volume} \\

From the question

volume = 3.4 mL

1 mg = 0.001 g

18.99 mg = 0.01899 g

So we have

density =  \frac{0.01899}{3.4}  \\  = 0.005585294..

We have the final answer as

<h3>0.0056 g/mL</h3>

Hope this helps you

We wish to dilute some 18.4 m h2so4 solution to make 600 ml of a 0.1 m h2so4 solution. how much of the 18.4 m solution should we
Aleks [24]
We can use the following formula when making diluted solutions from concentrated solutions
c1v1 = c2v2
where c1 is concentration and v1 is volume of the concentrated solution 
and c2 is concentration and v2 is final volume of diluted solution 
substituting the values in the equation
18.4 M x V = 0.1 M x 600 mL 
V = 3.26 mL
volume of 3.26 mL of 18.4 M sulfuric acid solution should be taken and diluted upto 600 mL

Explain why calcium combines in a different ratio to a fluoride ion versus an oxide ion.
jok3333 [9.3K]

Answer:

This is due the different charges of fluoride and oxide ions.

Explanation:

When calcium reacts it is oxidized to Ca²⁺. In the same way, fluoride ion is reduced to F⁻ and oxide ion to O²⁻.

When these ions are combined, the molecule must be neutral. That means 2 ions of F⁻ are necessaries and just 1 O²⁻ ion will reacts producing:

CaF₂ and CaO.

The different charges of these ions is the reason why calcium will combine in different ratios.

Can anyone explain it to me, please?
Anuta_ua [19.1K]

Answer:

2×10² cg

Explanation:

We'll begin by converting each of the above to the same unit of measurement.

In this case, we shall convert each of the above to kg. This can be obtained as follow:

Conversion of cg to kg

1 cg = 1×10¯⁵ Kg

Therefore,

2×10² cg = 2×10² × 1×10¯⁵

2×10² cg = 0.002 kg

Conversion of dg to Kg

1 dg = 1×10¯⁴ kg

Therefore,

10 dg = 10 × 1×10¯⁴

10 dg = 0.001 kg

Conversion of mg to kg.

1 mg = 1×10¯⁶ Kg

Therefore,

2×10² mg = 2×10² × 1×10¯⁶

2×10² mg = 0.0002 kg

Conversion of ng to kg

1 ng = 1×10¯¹² kg

Therefore,

1×10⁵ ng = 1×10⁵ × 1×10¯¹²

1×10⁵ ng = 0.0000001 Kg

Summary

1. 2×10² cg = 0.002 kg

2. 10 dg = 0.001 kg

3. 2×10² mg = 0.0002 kg

4. 0.001 kg

5. 1×10⁵ ng = 0.0000001 Kg

From the above calculation, 2×10² cg is the highest mass.
