Answer:

C4H8

Explanation:

First find the molar mass of CH2;

2(1.01) + 1(12.01) = 14.03g

Now divide the molar mass of the compound by the molar mass of CH2;

56g/14.03g = 3.9914 Round to nearest whole number = 4

Multiply CH2 by 4 to get the molecular formula;

CH2* 4 = C4H8

A yield of NH3 of approximately 98% can be obtained at 200°C and 1,000 atmospheres of pressure.
daser333 [38]

Answer:

1.429 g of  N₂

Explanation:

The Haber process is a reaction that combines nitrogen with hydrogen to form ammonia according to the following balanced equation:

  • N₂ ₍g₎ + 3 H₂ ₍g₎ ⇆  2NH₃ ₍g₎  

One can note that 1 mol of N₂ react with H₂ to produce 2 mol of NH₃.

We cannot compare weight of a substance (in grams) to another in chemical reactions, but we can use moles, then we have to convert the weight of NH3 to moles.

no. of moles of NH₃ = (mass / molar mass) = (1.7 g / 17 g/mol) = 0.1 mol

and the actual yield is 98% , then the theoretical number of moles that would be produced are:  

  • percent yield = (actual yield / theoretical yield) × 100

98 = (0.1 mol /  theoretical yield) × 100

theoretical no. of moles of NH₃ = (0.1 * 100) /98 = 0.102 mol

using cross multiplication

1 mol of N₂ → 2 mol of NH₃.

?? mol of N₂ → 0.102 mol of NH₃.

no of moles of N₂ = [(1 mol * 0.102 mol) / 2 mol] = 0.051 mol

Last step is to convert the moles back to grams using:

mass = (no of moles of N₂  * molar mass of N₂)

         = (0.051 mol * 28 g/mol) = 1.429 g

Examples of isotones
lukranit [14]

Answer:

Examples of isotones include carbon-12, nitrogen-13 and oxygen-14. These atoms all have six neutrons and six, seven and eight protons respectively. A mnemonic that can be used to differentiate isotones from isotopes and isobars is as follows: same Z (number of protons) = isotopes.

bonufazy [111]
1) Reaction:

Mg(s) + 2HCl (aq) ----> H2(g) + MgCl2(aq)

2) Analysis

An increase in pressure affects directly the rate of reaction involving reactiong gases. Changing the pressure where there are only solids or liquids does not affect the rate of reaction.

This reaction is not an equilibrium, the reaction is only forward. So, the reacting components, Mg(s) and HCl(aq) are a solid and a liquid.

Therefore, the reaction is not affected by the change in pressure.

Answer: the reaction is not affected at all.
