Explanation:

The given data is as follows.

        Mass flow rate of mixture = 1368 kg/hr

      N_{2} in feed = 40 mole%

This means that H_{2} in feed = (100 - 40)% = 60%

We assume that there are 100 total moles/hr of gas (N_{2} + H_{2}) in feed stream.

Hence, calculate the total mass flow rate as follows.

           40 moles/hr of N_{2}/hr (28 g/mol of N_{2}) + 60 moles/hr of H_{2}/hr (2 g/mol of H_{2})

                  40 \times 28 g/hr + 60 \times 2 g/hr    

                  = 1120 g/hr + 120 g/hr

                  = 1240 g/hr

                  = \frac{1240}{1000}              (as 1 kg = 1000 g)

                  = 1.240 kg/hr

Now, we will calculate mol/hr in the actual feed stream as follows.

                 \frac{100 mol/hr}{1.240 kg/hr} \times 1368 kg/hr

                   = 110322.58 moles/hr

It is given that amount of nitrogen present in the feed stream is 40%. Hence, calculate the flow of N_{2} into the reactor as follows.

                       0.4 \times 110322.58 moles/hr

                      = 44129.03 mol/hr

As 1 mole of nitrogen has 28 g/mol of mass or 0.028 kg.

Therefore, calculate the rate flow of N_{2} into the reactor as follows.

                       0.028 kg \times 44129.03 mol/hr

                         = 1235.612 kg/hr

Thus, we can conclude that the the feed rate of pure nitrogen to the mixer is 1235.612 kg/hr.

<span>Chromium is a transition metal and it has 24 electrons and here is the orbital diagram. If we're going to make this short hand and make the electron configurationfor this we would make this 1s2, 2s2, 2p6, 3s2, 3p6, 4s2, 3d4 okay from now on every time you see 3d4 you're going to change it, we do not like 3d4.</span>

Write a balanced chemical equation (smallest integer coefficients possible) for the reaction between an acid and a base that lea
11Alexandr11 [23.1K]

Answer:

2HClO4(aq) + Ca(OH)2(aq) → Ca(ClO4)2(aq) + 2H2O(l)

Perchloric acid + Calcium hydroxide → Calcium perchlorate + Water.

Explanation:

This is a neutralization reaction where the acid, Perchloric acid reacts completely with an appropriate amount of base, aqueous Calcium hydroxide to produce salt, aqueous Calcium perchlorate and water, liquid H2O only.

During this reaction, the hydrogen ion, H+, from the HClO4 is neutralized by the hydroxide ion, OH-, from the Ca(OH)2 to form the water molecule, H2O.

Thus, it is called a neutralization reaction.

Effective nuclear charge, Zeff, is defined as:
Alborosie

Answer:

The effective nuclear charge for a valence electron in oxygen atom: Z_{eff} = 4.55

Explanation:

Effective nuclear charge  [Z_{eff}] is the net nuclear charge experienced by the electron in a given atom. It is always less than the actual charge of the nucleus [Z], due to shielding by electrons in the inner shells.

<em>It is equal to the difference between the actual nuclear charge or the atomic number (Z) and the shielding constant (s).  </em>

\Rightarrow Z_{eff} = Z - s

<u>For an oxygen atom</u>-

Electron configuration: (1s²) (2s² 2p⁴)

<em>The atomic number (actual nuclear charge): </em>Z = 8

The shielding constant (s) for a valence electron can be calculated by using the Slater's rules:

⇒ s = 5 × 0.35 + 2 × 0.85 = 1.75 + 1.7 = 3.45

<u><em>Therefore, the effective nuclear charge for a valence electron in oxygen atom is:</em></u>

Z_{eff} = Z - s = 8 - 3.45 = 4.55

<u>Therefore, the effective nuclear charge for a valence electron in oxygen atom:</u> Z_{eff} = 4.55
