The question is incomplete, complete question is :

In the Haber reaction, patented by German chemist Fritz Haber in 1908, dinitrogen gas combines with dihydrogen gas to produce gaseous ammonia. This reaction is now the first step taken to make most of the world's fertilizer. Suppose a chemical engineer studying a new catalyst for the Haber reaction finds that 348 liters per second of dinitrogen are consumed when the reaction is run at 205°C and 0.72 atm. Calculate the rate at which ammonia is being produced.

Answer:

The rate of production of ammonia is 217.08 grams per second.

Explanation:

N_2+3H_2\rightarrow 2NH_3

Volume of dinitrogen used in a second = 348 L

Temperature of the gas = T = 205°C = 205+273 K = 478 K

Pressure of the gas = P = 0.72 atm

Moles of dinitrogen = n

n=\frac{PV}{RT}=\frac{0.72 atm\times 348 L}{0.0821 atm L/mol K\times 478 K}=6.385 mol

According to reaction, 1 mole of dinitriogen gives 2 mole of ammonia.Then 6.385 moles of dinitrogen will give:

\frac{2}{1}\times 6.385 mol=12.769 mol

Mass of 12.769 moles of ammonia;

12.769 mol 17 g/mol = 217.08 g

217.08 grams of ammonia is produced per second.So, the rate of production of ammonia is 217.08 grams per second.

Solid sodium azide (NaN3) produces solid sodium and nitrogen gas. How many grams of sodium azide are needed to yield a volume of
ch4aika [34]

Answer:

52.008 grams of sodium azide are needed to yield a volume of 26.5 L of nitrogen gas at a temperature of 295 K and a pressure of 1.10 atmospheres.

Explanation:

An ideal gas is characterized by three state variables: absolute pressure (P), volume (V), and absolute temperature (T). The relationship between them constitutes the ideal gas law, an equation that relates the three variables if the amount of substance, number of moles n, remains constant and where R is the molar constant of the gases:

P*V = n*R*T

In this case, the balanced reaction is:

2 NaN₃ → 2 Na + 3 N₂

You know the following about N₂:

  • P= 1.10 atm
  • V= 26.5 L
  • n=?
  • R=0.082057 \frac{atm*L}{mol*K}
  • T= 295 K

Replacing in the equation for ideal gas:

1.10 atm* 26.5 L= n* 0.082057 \frac{atm*L}{mol*K}*295 K

Solving:

n=\frac{1.10 atm*26.5 L}{0.082057 \frac{atm*L}{mol*K} *295K}

n= 1.2 moles

Now, the following rule of three can be applied: if 3 moles of N₂ are produced by stoichiometry of the reaction from 2 moles of NaN₃, 1.2 moles of N₂ are produced from how many moles of NaN₃?

moles of NaN_{3}=\frac{1.2 molesofN_{2} *2 molesofNaN_{3} }{3 molesofN_{2} }

moles of NaN₃= 0.8

Since the molar mass of sodium azide is 65.01 g / mol, then one last rule of three applies: if 1 mol has 65.01 grams of NaN₃, 0.8 mol how much mass does it have?

mass of NaN_{3} =\frac{0.8 mol*65.01 grams}{1 mol}

mass of NaN₃=52.008 grams

<u><em>52.008 grams of sodium azide are needed to yield a volume of 26.5 L of nitrogen gas at a temperature of 295 K and a pressure of 1.10 atmospheres.</em></u>

What are two ways condensation differs from boiling?
NARA [144]
Condensation is when vapor liquidizes and gathers on top of a surface, while boiling is turning a liquid into a gas or vapor. They are opposites. In the first, the molecules of the substance split and separate and increase the volume, while in the second they come together and reduce the volume.

Why are only certain colors absorbed by and emitted from an atom?
zavuch27 [327]
The way I would explain it is quite difficult to understand, so this is what Google says. "The wavelength (or equivalently, frequency) of the photon is determined by the difference in energy between the two states. These emitted photons form the element's spectrum. The fact that only certain colors appear in an element's atomic emission spectrum means that only certain frequencies of light are emitted." I hope this helped.

In glycolysis, if glucose is labeled at the carbon 6 position (see page 1 for numbering of carbons in glucose) A) the carbon wit
Oliga [24]

Answer:

D) the carbon with the low-energy phosphate on it in 1,3 BPG is labeled.

Explanation:

Glycolysis has 2 phase (1) preparatory phase (2) pay-off phase.

<u>(1) Preparatory phase</u>

During preparatory phase glucose is converted into fructose-1,6-bisphosphate. Till this time the carbon numbering remains the same i.e. if we will label carbon at 6th position of glucose, its position will remian the same in fructose-1,6-bisphosphate that means the labeled carbon will still remain at 6th position.

When fructose-1,6-bisphosphate is further catalyzed with the help of enzyme aldolase it is cleaved into two 3 carbon intermediates which are glyceraldehyde 3-phosphate (GAP) and dihyroxyacetone  phosphate (DHAP).  In this conversion, the first three carbons of fructose-1,6-bisphosphate become carbons of DHAP while the last three carbons of fructose-1,6-bisphosphate will become carbons of GAP. It simply means that GAP will acquire the last carbon of fructose-1,6-bisphosphate which is labeled. Now the last carbon of GAP which has phosphate will be labeled.  

<u>(2) Pay-off phase</u>

During this phase, GAP is dehydrogenated into 1,3-bisphosphoglycerate (BPG) with the help of enzyme glyceraldehyde 3-phosphate dehydrogenase. This oxidation is coupled to phosphorylation of C1 of GAP and this is the reason why 1,3-bisphosphoglycerate has phosphates at 2 positions i.e. at position 1 in which phosphate is newly added and position 3rd which already had labeled carbon.

It is pertinent to mention here that<u> BPG has a mixed anhydride and the bond at C1 is a very high energy bond.</u> In the next step, this high energy bond is hydrolyzed into a carboxylic acid with the help of enzyme phosphoglycerate kinase and the final product is 3-phosphoglycerate. Hence, the carbon with low energy phosphate i.e. the carbon at 3rd position remains labeled.
