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.

padilas [110]

Answer:

v = 2,66x10⁻⁵ P[H₂C₂O₄]

Explanation:

For the reaction:

H₂C₂O₄(g) → CO₂(g) + HCOOH(g)

At t = 0, the initial pressure is just of H₂C₂O₄(g). At t= 20000 s, pressures will be:

H₂C₂O₄(g) = P₀ - x

CO₂(g) = x

HCOOH(g) = x

P at t=20000 is:

P₀ - x + x + x = P₀+x. That means P at t=20000s - P₀ = x

For 1st point:

x = 92,8-65,8 = 27

Pressure of H₂C₂O₄(g) at t=20000s: 65,8-27 = 38,8

2nd point:

x = 130-92,1 = 37,9

H₂C₂O₄(g): 92,1 - 37,9 = 54,2

3rd point:

x = 157-111 = 46

H₂C₂O₄(g): 111-46 = 65

Now, as the rate law is :

v = k P[H₂C₂O₄]

Based on integrated rate law, k is:

(- ln P[H₂C₂O₄] + ln P[H₂C₂O₄]₀) / t = k

1st point:

k = 2,64x10⁻⁵

2nd point:

k = 2,65x10⁻⁵

3rd point:

k = 2,68x10⁻⁵

The averrage of this values is:

k = 2,66x10⁻⁵

That means law is:

v = 2,66x10⁻⁵ P[H₂C₂O₄]

I hope it helps!

A patient gets 2.1 L of fluid over 19 hours through an IV. The drop factor is 20 gtt/mL.Calculate the drip rate in drops per min
Aleks [24]
<span>The rate of infusion is 2.1L/19h or 2100mL/19h (as 1L = 100 mL).
       
To convert 19 hours to minutes we multiply as follows:
   
19 hours = (19 hours) x (60 minutes/1 hour) = 1140 minutes
       
So the rate of infusion becomes:
   
2100mL /1140 min
       
In order to converted mL to drops (gtt) we multiply the rate of infusion with the drop factor to get the drip rate:
       
(2100mL/1140min) x (20 gtt/mL) = 36.8 gtt/min</span>
