Explanation:

It is known that 1 SCF produces approximately 1000 Btu of thermal energy.

As it is not mentioned for how many hours the gas is used in this process. Therefore, we assume that the total number of hours natural gas used in this process are as follows.

$365 \times 24$ = 8760 hours

Now, we will calculate the annual cost of natural gas used in the process as follows.

$8760 \times 63400$

= 555384000 SCF

Hence, annual cost of natural gas used in this process = loss of thermal energy

This will be equal to, $555384000 \times 1000$

= 555,384,000,000 BTU

Thus, we can conclude that the annual cost of natural gas used in the process is 555,384,000,000 BTU.

Which is the average kinetic energy of the individual particles of a substance?

zhannawk [14.2K]

Answer: Temperature

Explanation: Temperature is a measure of average kinetic energy of particles in an object. The hotter the substance, higher is the average kinetic energy of its constituent particles. When we heat a substance, the particles that constitute the substance gain some energy and begin to move faster.

Which of the following compounds has an atom with an unfilled valence shell of electrons? And why?A. H3O+B. BF3C. CH3OHD. NaI

adoni [48]

Answer: BF3

Explanation: boron needs 4 electron to obtain octet and Fluorine has just one. For the valence shell to be completely filled it will have to form BF4- with 4 fluorine atom surrounding it.

The fizz produced when an Alka-Seltzer® tablet is dissolved in water is due to the reaction between sodium bicarbonate (NaHCO3)

cestrela7 [59]

Answer:

a. The limiting reactant is $NaHCO_{3}$

b. 0.73 g of carbon dioxide are formed.

c. The grams of excess reactant that do not participate in the reaction are 0333 g.

Explanation:

You know the following reaction:

$3NaHCO_{3} +H_{3} C_{6} H_{5} O_{7}$ ⇒ $3CO_{2} +3H_{2} O+Na_{3} C_{6} H_{5} O_{7}$

First, you determine the molar mass of each compound. For that you must take into account the atomic mass of each element:

Na: 23
H: 1
C: 12
O: 16

To determine the molar mass of each compound, you multiply the most atomic of each element present in the molecule by the sub-index that appears after each number, which indicates the present amount of each element in the compound:

$NaHCO_{3}$ :23+1+12+16*3=84 g/mol
$H_{3} C_{6} HO_{7}$ :1*3+12*6+1*5+16*7= 192 g/mol
$CO_{2}$ :12+16*2= 44 g/mol
$H_{2} O$ :1*2+16= 18 g/mol
$Na_{3} C_{6} H_{5} O_{7}$ : 23*3+12*6+1*5+16*7= 258 g/mol

By stoichiometry of the reaction (that is, the relationship between the amount of reagents and products in a chemical reaction), you know that 3 moles of $NaHCO_{3}$ react with 1 mole of $H_{3} C_{6} HO_{7}$ Then, taking into account the molar mass of each compound, you can calculate the reacting mass of each compound by stoichiometry:

$NaHCO_{3}$ : 252 g
$H_{3} C_{6} HO_{7}$ : 192 g

You know that in a certain experiment you have 1.40 g of sodium bicarbonate and 1.40 g of citric acid. To determine the limiting reagent apply a rule of three simple as follows:

If by stoichiometry 252 g of sodium bicarbonate react with 192 g of citric acid, how many grams of sodium bicarbonate react with 1.4 grams of citric acid?

$grams of sodium bicarbonate= \frac{1.4 g*252 g}{192 g}$

grams of sodium bicarbonate= 1.8375 g

But to perform the experiment you have only 1.4 g of sodium bicarbonate. So the limiting reagent is sodium bicarbonate.

As mentioned, the limiting reagent is sodium bicarbonate. This means that you should use 1.4 g of sodium bicarbonate for all subsequent calculations, because this compound is the reagent that will be consumed first.

Now, by stoichiometry of the reaction, you know that 3 moles of $NaHCO_{3}$ react with 3 mole of $CO_{2}$ . Then, taking into account the molar mass of each compound, you can calculate the reacting mass of each compound by stoichiometry:

$NaHCO_{3}$ : 252 g
$H_{3} C_{6} HO_{7}$ : 132 g

You make a simple rule of three: if 252 g of sodium bicarbonate form 132 g of carbon dioxide per stochetry, how many grams will form 1.4 g of sodium bicarbonate?

$grams of carbon dioxide =\frac{1.4 g * 132 g}{252 g}$

grams of carbon dioxide= 0.73 g

Then, 0.73 g of carbon dioxide are formed.

To know how much citric acid will react you apply a rule of three, taking into account as in the previous cases the stoichiometry of the reaction: If by stoichiometry 252 g of sodium bicarbonate react with 192 g of citric acid, how many grams of citric acid will they react with 1.4 g of sodium bicarbonate?

$grams of citric acid=\frac{1.4 g * 192 g}{252 g}$

grams of citric acid= 1.067 g

But you have 1.4 g of citric acid. That means that the grams you have minus the grams that react will be the grams that remain in excess and do not participate in the reaction:

grams of excess reactant=1.4 g - 1.067 g

grams of excess reactant=0.333 g

So the grams of excess reactant that do not participate in the reaction are 0333 g.
