Two different compounds are formed by the elements nitrogen and oxygen. The first compound, compound P1, contains 64.17% by mass

nitrogen and 35.73% by mass oxygen. The second compound, compound P2, contains 47.23% by mass nitrogen and 52.79% by mass oxygen. What is the ratio of nitrogen to a fixed mass of oxygen for the two compounds?

Answer:

Explanation:

To solve the problem, we must know the kind of compounds we are dealing with.

For the first compound, P1 and second compound P2:

                                N                       O                         N                     O

Mass percent       64.17                 35.73                  47.23               52.79

Atomic mass          14                      16                         14                    16

Number of

moles            64.17/14            35.73/16            47.23/14    52.79/16      

                            4.58                  2.23                     3.37                  3.30

Simplest

ratio                 4.58/2.23            2.23/2.23             3.37/3.30         3.3/3.3

                              2                           1                             1                        1

                             

P1 compound is N₂O

P2 compound is NO

These are the compounds,

   In N₂O = 28:16

          NO = 14:16

This is the ratio of nitrogen to a fixed mass of oxygen for the two compounds.

To gain an idea as to how many atoms are in a gram or so of copper, use the larger balance
anygoal [31]

Answer:

Explanation:

To solve this problem, we must understand the relationship between mass of a substance and the number of atoms.

Atoms are the smallest indivisible particles of any matter. A substance can be made up of several number of atoms in their space.

The mass of any substance is a function of the amount of atoms its contains.

The mass of a substance is related in chemistry to the amount of atoms its contains using the parameter called the number of moles.

A mole is the amount of substance that contains the Avogadro's number of particles. This number is 6.02  x 10²³ particles. The particles here can be protons, neutrons, electrons, atoms e.t.c.

Now,

             Number of moles  = \frac{mass}{molar mass}

          Molar mass of copper  = 63.6g/mole

         Number of moles  = \frac{2}{63.6}  = 0.03mole

Since 1 mole of a substance contains  6.02  x 10²³atoms

        0.03 mole of copper will contain 0.03 x  6.02  x 10²³atoms

                                                    = 1.89 x 10²² atoms

He needs to add 1.89 x 10²² atoms to make 2g of the sample.

The water-gas shift reaction CO(g)+H2O(g)⇌CO2(g)+H2(g) is used industrially to produce hydrogen. The reaction enthalpy is ΔH∘=−4
denis23 [38]

Answer:

To increase the yield of H₂ we would use a low temperature.

For an exothermic reaction such as this, decreasing temperature increases the value of K and the amount of products at equilibrium. Low temperature increases the value of K and the amount of products at equilibrium.

Explanation:

Let´s consider the following reaction:

CO(g) + H₂O(g) ⇌ CO₂(g) + H₂(g)

When a system at equilibrium is disturbed, the response of the system is explained by Le Chatelier's Principle: <em>If a system at equilibrium suffers a perturbation (in temperature, pressure, concentration), the system will shift its equilibrium position to counteract such perturbation</em>.

In this case, we have an exothermic reaction (ΔH° < 0). We can imagine heat as one of the products. If we decrease the temperature, the system will try to raise it favoring the forward reaction to release heat and, at the same time, increasing the yield of H₂. By having more products, the value of the equilibrium constant K increases.

What Do You Think It Means To Have a Balanced Or Unbalanced Chemical Equation?
Hatshy [7]

Answer:

A balanced equation is an equation for a chemical reaction in which the number of atoms for each element in the reaction and the total charge is the same for both the reactants and the products.
