Urea (CH4N2O) is a common fertilizer that can be synthesized by the reaction of ammonia (NH3) with carbon dioxide as follows: 2N

H3(aq)+CO2(aq)→CH4N2O(aq)+H2O(l) In an industrial synthesis of urea, a chemist combines 135.7 kg of ammonia with 211.4 kg of carbon dioxide and obtains 163.6 kg of urea. Part A Determine the limiting reactant. Express your answer as a chemical formula.

Answer:

NH3

Explanation:

2NH3(aq)+CO2(aq)→CH4N2O(aq)+H2O(l)

So for two moles of NH3 we need one mole of CO2. So let's count moles for each reagent.

n(NH3)=m(NH3)/M(NH3)=135700/17,03=7968.29 mol

n(CO2)=m(CO2)/M(CO2)=211400/44.01=4803.45 mol

From equation we have to divide n(NH3) by 2 because we need two equivalent per one CO2. That will be 3984.145. So the limiting agent is NH3 because it's not enough of it to react with all CO2

Which of the following solutes will lower the freezing point of water the most? NaCl, CaCl2!or AlBr3
MA_775_DIABLO [31]
This uses the concept of freezing point depression. When faced with this issue, we use the following equation:
ΔT = i·Kf·m
which translates in english to:
Change in freezing point = vant hoff factor * molal freezing point depression constant * molality of solution
Because the freezing point depression is a colligative property, it does not depend on the identity of the molecules, just the number of them.
Now, we know that molality will be constant, and Kf will be constant, so our only unknown is "i", or the van't hoff factor.
The van't hoff factor is the number of atoms that dissociate from each individual molecule. The higher the van't hoff factor, the more depressed the freezing point will be.
NaCl will dissociate into Na+ and Cl-, so it has i = 2
CaCl2 will dissociate into Ca2+ and 2 Cl-, so it has i = 3
AlBr3 will dissociate into Al3+ and 3 Br-, so it has i = 4
Therefore, AlBr3 will lower the freezing point of water the most.

Calculate the number of molecules in 7 moles of oxygen
Alexxandr [17]

Answer:

4.21

Explanation:

use Avogadro's number

6.023 x 10^23

multiply this by 7 because you want to find 7 moles :

6.023 x 10^23 x 7 = 4.21
