Answer: The coefficient of nitrogen in the given equation is 2.

Explanation: The reaction for the oxidation of methamphentamine with oxygen gas in the body is given by:

4C_{10}H_{15}N(s)+55O_2(g)\rightarrow 40CO_2(g)+30H_2O(l)+2N_2(g)

By Stoichiometry,

4 moles of methamphentamine reacts with 55 moles of oxygen gas to produce 40 moles of carbon dioxide gas, 30 moles of water and 2 moles of nitrogen gas.

Coefficient of C_{10}H_{15}N=4

Coefficient of O_2=55

Coefficient of CO_2=40

Coefficient of H_2O=30

Coefficient of N_2=2

Hence, the coefficient of nitrogen in the given equation is 2.

State the Periodic Law. Why is it so important in the study of chemistry?
gayaneshka [121]

Answer:

Summary. To summarize, the periodic table is important because it is organized to provide a great deal of information about elements and how they relate to one another in one easy-to-use reference. The table can be used to predict the properties of elements, even those that have not yet been discovered.

C5H12 + O2 = CO2 + H2O
Lady_Fox [76]

Answer: 241.6 grams of CO2

Explanation: you take 84.3 grams C5H12 and divide it by 72.15 grams of C5H12(which is the molar mass) you take that answer and calculate the mols of CO2 by multiplying the 1.168 you got before and multiply it by 5. You take the answer you get from that and multiply it by the molar mass of CO2 and get the theoretical yield and then you just plug it in. 94= (x/257.02)x100 and solve to find x which is the actual yield.
