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.

A buffer is a solution that is a mixture of either a weak acid and its conjugate base or a weak base and its conjugate acid. Whe
babymother [125]

Answer:

b. The weak base of an alkaline buffer will accept hydrogen protons when a strong acid is added to the solution

d.The conjugate acid of an alkaline buffer will donate hydrogen protons when a strong base is added to the solution.

Explanation:

A buffer is a solution that resist pH change, it shows minimal change upon addition of small amount of strong acid or strong base. An alkaline buffer will have a  basic pH, above 7. It is made by mixing a weak base and its salt with a strong acid. An example of an alkaline buffer is carbonate-bicarbonate buffer that is prepared using varying amount of anhydrous sodium carbonate and volume of solution of sodium bicarbonate to get pH range between 9.2 to 10.7

Within the buffer,the salt is completely ionized while the weak base is partly ionized. on addition of acid, the released protons will be removed by the bicarbonate ion to form sodium carbonate; on addition of base, the hydroxide ion released by the base will be removed by the hydrogen ions to form water and the pH remains relatively the same

In the ground-state electron configuration of fe3+, how many unpaired electrons are present? express your answer numerically as
Virty [35]
Answer:
            Iron has 5 unpaired electrons in Fe⁺³ state.

Explanation:

Iron having atomic number 26 has following electronic configuration in neutral state.

                             Fe =  1s², 2s², 2p⁶, 3s², 3p⁶, 4s², 3d⁶

When Iron looses three electrons it attains +3 charge with following electronic configuration.

                             Fe⁺³ =  1s², 2s², 2p⁶, 3s², 3p⁶, 3d⁵

The five electrons in d-orbital exist in unpaired form as,

                          3(dz)¹, 3d(xz)¹, 3d(yz)¹, 3d(xy)¹, 3(dx²-y²)¹

When 3.00 g of sulfur are combined with 3.00 g of oxygen, 6.00 g of sulfur dioxide (SO2) are formed. What mass of oxygen would b
Drupady [299]
Actually, we can answer the problem even without the first statement. All we have to do is write the reaction for the production of sulfur trioxide.

2 S + 3 O₂ → 2 SO₃

The stoichiometric calculations is as follows:

7 g S * 1 mol/32.06 g S = 0.218 mol S
Moles O₂ needed = 0.218 mol S * 3 mol O₂/2 mol S = 0.3275 mol O₂
Since the molar mas of O₂ is 32 g/mol,
Mass of O₂ needed = 0.3275 mol O₂ * 32 g/mol = 10.48 g O₂
