Answer:
1.92 kg of nitrogen.
Explanation:
The following data were obtained from the question:
Heat absorbed (Q) = 384000 J
Note: Heat of vaporisation (ΔHv) of nitrogen = 5600 J/mol
Next, we shall determine the number of mole of nitrogen that absorbed 384000 J.
This is illustrated below:
Q = mol·ΔHv
384000 = mole of N2 x 5600
Divide both side by 5600
Mole of N2 = 384000/5600
Mole of N2 = 68.57 moles
Next, we shall convert 68.57 moles of nitrogen, N2 to grams.
This can be obtained as follow:
Molar mass of N2 = 2 x 14 = 28 g/mol.
Mole of N2 = 68.57 moles.
Mass of N2 =..?
Mole = mass /molar mass
68.57 = mass of N2 /28
Cross multiply
Mass of N2 = 68.57 x 28
Mass of N2 = 1919.96 g
Finally, we shall convert 1919.96 g to kilograms.
This can be achieved as shown below:
1000g = 1 kg
Therefore,
1919.96 g = 1919.96/1000 = 1.92 kg.
Therefore, 1.92 kg of nitrogen were burned off.
