Answer:

The answer to the question is

The mass of NH3 (in grams) that must be used to produce 5.65 tons of HNO3 by the Ostwald process, assuming an 80.0 percent yield in each step in scientific notation is 3.46 × 10⁶ grams.

Explanation:

The reaction for the Ostwald process is given by

4NH₃ + 5O₂  → 4NO + 6H₂O

2NO + O₂  ↔ 2NO₂

3NO₂ (g) + H₂O (l) → 2HNO₃ + NO

From the reactions of the Ostwald process, 4 moles of NH₃ are required to produce 2 moles of HNO₃

Therefore One mole of HNO₃ requires two moles of NH₃  for production at 100 % theoretical yield

Molar mass of NH₃  =  17.031 g/mol

Molar mass of HNO₃  = 63.01 g/mol

5.65 tons = 5.65 × 2000 lb/ton × 453.6 g/lb = 5125680 g

Number of moles of HNO₃ in 5125680 g sample of HNO₃

= (5125680 g)÷(63.01 g/mol) = 81347.09 moles of HNO₃

However the yield = 80.0%  that is \frac{Actual Yield}{Theoretical Yield} 100 = 80 %

Therefore 80 % Theoretical yield = 81347.09 moles of HNO₃

Theoretical yield = 81347.09 moles ÷ 0.8  = 101683.86 moles

Then 101683.86 moles of HNO₃ will require 2 × 101683.86 moles or 203367.72 moles of NH₃

Mass of 203367.72 moles of NH₃  is given by

mass = number of moles × molar mass = 203367.72 moles ×  17.031 g/mol = 3463555.63 grams

Mass of NH₃ required = 3463555.63 grams = 3.46 × 10⁶ grams  in scientific notation.

OlgaM077 [116]

Answer : The concentration of a solution with an absorbance of 0.460 is, 0.177 M

Explanation :

Using Beer-Lambert's law :

A=\epsilon \times C\times l

where,

A = absorbance of solution

C = concentration of solution

l = path length

\epsilon = molar absorptivity coefficient

From this we conclude that absorbance of solution is directly proportional to the concentration of solution at constant path length.

Thus, the relation between absorbance and concentration of solution will be:

\frac{A_1}{A_2}=\frac{C_1}{C_2}

Given:

A_1 = 0.350

A_2 = 0.460

C_1 = 0.135 M

C_2 = ?

Now put all the given values in the above formula, we get:

\frac{0.350}{0.460}=\frac{0.135}{C_2}

C_1=0.177M

Therefore, the concentration of a solution with an absorbance of 0.460 is, 0.177 M

According to reference table adv-10, which is the strongest reducing agent?
Mumz [18]
Li(s)    (answer  A)   
    Li  is  strongest  reducing  agent  because  of  the   lowest  standard reduction  potential.  when  something  is  oxidized, it  reduces  another  substance,  becoming a  reducing.Hence  Lithium  is  strongest  reducing  agent. Reducing  agent   is  stronger  when  it  has  a  more  positive  oxidation potential.

A beaker is filled to the 500 mL mark with alcohol. What increase in volume (in mL) does the beaker contain when the temperature
Aliun [14]

Answer:

"1.4 mL" is the appropriate solution.

Explanation:

According to the question,

  • v_0=500
  • \alpha =1.12\times 10^{-4}
  • \Delta \epsilon = 25

Now,

Increase in volume will be:

⇒ \Delta V = \alpha\times v_0\times \Delta \epsilon

By putting the given values, we get

           =1.12\times 10^{-4}\times 500\times 25

           =1.12\times 10^{-4}\times 12500

           =1.4  \ mL
