A typical air sample in the lungs contains oxygen at 100 mmhg, nitrogen at 573 mmhg, carbon dioxide at 40 mmhg, and water vapor

  it  is  called the  partial pressure   because    it  is    pressure  that   is  exerted by  each gas in  a mixture of  gases if it occupy  the same   volume  of  it  own.  the  the partial pressure  of oxygen  in the air sample above is  100 mm hg, that of  carbon dioxide is 40 mmhg, for   water vapor  47 mmhg. and that of  nitrogen  is 573 mmhg

If 125 g of CaCO3 is mixed and reacted with 125 g of HCl, which reactant is limiting and how many grams of CO2 can be made?
Trava [24]

Answer:

CaCO3 is the limiting reactant

55 g of CO2 is made

Explanation:

First we must put down the reaction equation;

CaCO3(s) + 2HCl(aq) ---------> CaCl2(s) + H2O(l) + CO2(g)

Number of mole of CaCO3 = 125g/100gmol-1 = 1.25 moles

From the reaction equation;

1 mole of CaCO3 yields 1 mole of CO2

Hence 1.25 moles of CaCO3 yields 1.25 moles of CO2

For HCl;

number of moles of HCl = 125g/36.5 g mol-1 = 3.42 moles

From the reaction equation;

2 moles of HCl yields 1 mole of CO2

3.42 moles of HCl yields 3.42 * 1/2 = 1.71 moles of CO2

Hence CaCO3 is the limiting reactant.

Mass of CO2 produced = 1.25g * 44 gmol-1 = 55 g of CO2

What mass of ammonia can be produced if 13.4 grams of nitrogen gas reacted ?
aivan3 [116]

Answer:

If 13.4 grams of nitrogen gas reacts we'll produce 16.3 grams of ammonia

Explanation:

Step 1: Data given

Mass of nitrogen gas (N2) = 13.4 grams

Molar mass of N2 = 28 g/mol

Molar mass of NH3 = 17.03 g/mol

Step 2: The balanced equation

N2 + 3H2 → 2NH3

Step 3: Calculate moles of N2

Moles N2 = Mass N2 / molar mass N2

Moles N2 = 13.4 grams / 28.00 g/mol

Moles N2 = 0.479 moles

Step 4: Calculate moles of NH3

For 1 mol N2 we need 3 moles H2 to produce 2 moles NH3

For 0.479 moles N2 we'll produce 2*0.479 = 0.958 moles

Step 5: Calculate mass of NH3

Mass of NH3 = moles NH3 * molar mass NH3

Mass NH3 = 0.958 moles * 17.03 g/mol

Mass NH3 = 16.3 grams

If 13.4 grams of nitrogen gas reacts we'll produce 16.3 grams of ammonia

Write the chemical symbol for three different atoms or atomic cations with 22 electrons
damaskus [11]

Answer:

Explanation:

To write the chemical symbol for an atom or cation with 22 electrons, we must understand some few things about an atom.

An atom is made up of positively charged paticles called protons which are located in the nucleus. The neutrons do not have any charges and are they reside together in the nucleus with the protons.

Electrons are negatively charged particles which orbits the nucleus.

Titanium in its neutral state is the 22nd element on the periodic table and it has 22 electrons.

Vanadium is the the 23rd element on the periodic table. If it loses an electron, it becomes positively charged and it is a cation.

Chromium is the 24th element on the periodic table. A loss of two electrons makes the net electrons remaining on it 22.

The symbols are:

       ₂₂Ti

        ₂₃V¹⁺

        ₂₄Cr²⁺

Consider the formation of hcn by the reaction of nacn (sodium cyanide) with an acid such as h2so4 (sulfuric acid): 2nacn(s)+h2so
Artemon [7]

2NaCN(s) + H₂SO₄(aq) --> Na₂SO₄(aq) + 2HCN(g)  

The molar ratio between NaCN : HCN is 2:2  or 1:1

Mass of HCN = 16.7 g

Molar mass of HCN = 1 + 12 + 14 = 27 g/mol

Molar mass of NaCN = 49 g/mol

Therefore, the mass of NaCN is

16.7 g of  HCN x 49 g/mol of NaCN / 27 g/mol of HCN = 30.3 grams of NaCN

Therefore, 30.3 grams of NaCN gives the lethal dose in the room.
