Well, for one thing, they ensure that a scientist can't claim a certain result, which might be biased and thus inaccurate, because he or she is being paid by, say, big business interests. For another, they ensure that medicines or treatments can't be made available to the public without thorough testing, replication, and peer review.

(a) if a sample containing 2.00 ml of nitroglycerin is detonated, how many total moles of gas are produced? (b) if each mole of

gregori [183]

Detonation of nitroglycerin:

$4C_3H_5N_3O_9 ------\ \textgreater \ 12CO_2+6N_2+O_2+H_2O$

Mass nitroglycerin = 2.00 mL x 1.592 g/mL = 3.184 g

Moles = mass / molar mass = 3.184 g/ 227.0872 g/mol = 0.01402

the ratio between nitroglycerin and Carbon dioxide is 4 : 12
So, moles CO2 = 0.01402 x 12 / 4 =0.0420

the ratio between nitroglycerin and N2 is 4 : 6
moles N2 = 0.01402 x 6 / 4 =0.0841

the ratio between nitroglycerin and O2 is 4 : 1 
moles O2 = 0.01402 x 1 / 4 = 0.0035

the ratio between nitroglycerin and water is 4 : 1 
in the same way moles water = 0.005258 

total moles = 0.0420 + 0.0841 + 0.0035 + 0.005258 = 0.130758

0.130758 x 55 = 5.78 L 

Mass N2 = 0.0841 mol x 28.0134 g/mol = 2.3548 g

B) How many kilograms of carbon dioxide are formed when 24.42 g of iron is produced?

charle [14.2K]

Answer:

0.0289 kg of CO2 will be formed

Explanation:

Step 1: Data given

Mass of iron produced = 24.42 grams

Atomic mass iron = 55.845 g/mol

Molar mass CO2 = 44.01 g/mol

Step 2: The balanced equation

Fe2O3 + 3CO → 2Fe + 3CO2

Step 3: Calculate moles iron

Moles iron = mass iron / molar mass iron

Moles iron = 24.42 grams / 55.845 g/mol

Moles iron = 0.437 moles

Step 4: Calculate moles CO2

For 1 mol Fe2O3 we need 3 moles CO to produce 2 moles Fe and 3 moles CO2

For 0.437 moles Fe we'll have 3/2 * 0.437 = 0.6555 moles CO2

Step 5: Calculate mass CO2

Mass CO2 = moles CO2 * molar mass CO2

Mass CO2 = 0.6555 moles * 44.01 g/mol

Mass CO2 = 28.85 grams = 0.0289 kg

0.0289 kg of CO2 will be formed
