Nitroglycerin is a dangerous powerful explosive that violently decomposes when it is shaken or dropped. The Swedish chemist Alfr

ed Nobel (1833-1896) founded the Nobel Prizes with a fortune he made by inventing dynamite, a mixture of nitroglycerin and inert ingredients that was safe to handle. 1. Write a balanced chemical equation, including physical state symbols, for the decomposition of liquid nitroglycerin () into gaseous dinitrogen, gaseous dioxygen, gaseous water and gaseous carbon dioxide. 2. Suppose of carbon dioxide gas are produced by this reaction, at a temperature of and pressure of exactly . Calculate the mass of nitroglycerin that must have reacted. Be sure your answer has the correct number of significant digits.

Answer:

4 C3H5N3O9 ------> 6N2 + O2 + 10H2O + 12CO2

Explanation:

Nitroglycerin has a chemical formula C3H5N3O9. The balanced chemical equation is as follows:

4 C3H5N3O9 ------> 6N2 + O2 + 10H2O + 12CO2

We suppose that in a reaction, 44g of carbon dioxide is produced. The mass of nitroglycerin that must have reacted will be calculated as under:

Molecular mass of Nitroglycerin = 227g/mol

Molecular mass of Carbon dioxide = 44g/mol

No. of moles of carbon dioxide produced = 44/44 = 1 mole produced.

Now, from balanced chemical equation, we can see that

12 moles of carbon dioxide are produced by = 4 moles of nitroglycerin.

1 mole of carbon dioxide is produced by = 4/12 = 1/3 moles of nitroglycerin.

Mass of nitroglycerin which produced 1 mole of carbon dioxide =  1/3 x 227 = 75.666 grams.

Question 14 of 17
artcher [175]

Since Lutetium-177 is a beta and gamma emitter, the daughter nuclide produced from the decay of this radioisotope is 177Hf.

Beta emission of a radioisotope yields a  daughter nuclide whose amass number is the same as that of its parent nucleus but its atomic number is greater is greater than that of the parent nucleus by 1 unit.

Also, gamma emission does not lead to any change in the mass number of atomic number of the daughter nucleus produced.

Hence, the stable daughter nuclide, 177Hf is produced.

What are the trends for atomic size and ionization? Explain why for each trend. Tell me the direction- up or down a group and ac
Alinara [238K]

Answer:

See explanation

Explanation:

Atomic size increases down the group due to the addition of more shells.

As more shells are added and repulsion of inner electrons become more significant, atomic size increases down the group. However, across the period, atomic size decreases due to increase in effective nuclear charge without any increase in the number of shells. This causes increased attraction between the nucleus and the outermost shell thereby decreasing the size of the atom.

Ionization energy decreases down the group because the outermost electron is more shielded by inner electrons making it easier for this outermost electron to be lost. Across the period, ionization energy increases due to increase in effective nuclear charge which makes it more difficult to remove the outermost electron due to increased nuclear attraction.

Which is the correct name for p2o5? phosphorus dioxide phosphorus pentoxide diphosphorus pentoxide diphosphorus hexaoxide
Elenna [48]

Correct option:

The correct name for P_{2}O_{5}  is diphosphorus pentoxide.

Why P_{2}O_{5} is called diphosphorus pentoxide?

P_{2}O_{5} is commonly known as diphosphorus pentoxide.

Phosphorus pentoxide has an intriguing property in that P_{2}O_{5} is actually its empirical formula, whereas P_{4}O_{10} is its actual molecular formula.

However, the name of the chemical was obtained from its empirical formula rather than from its molecular formula. The official name for this substance is diphosphorus pentoxide.

Oxygen-containing binary compounds have "oxide" as their "last name." Phosphorus is the "first name."

We list each atom's numbers below:

The di- and Penta- prefixes are used to indicate the presence of two and five oxygen atoms, respectively, in the molecule.
