Ammonia is produced by the Haber process, in which nitrogen and hydrogen are reacted directly using an iron mesh impregnated wit

h oxides as a catalyst. For the following reaction, equilibrium constants (Kp values) are seen below as a function of temperature.
N2(g) + 3 H2(g) reverse reaction arrow 2 NH3(g)

300°C 4.34 multiplied by 10-3 atm-2
500°C 1.45 multiplied by 10-5 atm-2
600°C 2.25 multiplied by 10-6 atm-2
This is an exothermic reaction, can you explain why it is exothermic and not endothermic?

Answer:

Explanation:

The reaction of production of ammonia is as follows

N₂ + 3H₂ ⇄ 2NH₃

From the data given , it is clear that

equilibrium constant decreases as temperature increases . In other words

at higher temperature less and less of ammonia is produced .

According to Le Chatelier's Principle , reaction tends to go in the direction so that the effect of external change is minimized. Since the increase in temperature reduces the forward reaction , that means reaction is exothermic .

So , reduction in reaction , helps reduce the production of heat to reduce the effect of temperature increase.

Mercury chloride is a commercial fungicide. If the molar mass is 470 g/mol and the percent composition is 85.0% Hg and 15.0% Cl,
ElenaW [278]
Data: molar mass 470 g/mol

Percent composition:

Hg = 85.0%
Cl = 15.0%

Solution:

1)  Convert % to molar ratios

A. Base: 100 g

=> Hg = 85.0 g / 200.59 g/mol = 0.4235 mol

     Cl = 15.0 g / 35.45 g/mol = 0.4231 mol

B. divide by the higher number and round to whole number

Hg = 0.4325 / 0.4231 = 1.00

Cl = 0.4231 / 0.4231 = 1.00

=> Empirical formula = Hg Cl

2) Find the mass of the empirical formula:

HgCl: 200.59 g/mol + 35.45 g/mol = 236.04

3) Determine how many times is the empirical mass contained in the molecular mass:

470 g/mol / 236.04 = 1.99 ≈ 2

=> Molecular formula = Hg2 Cl2.

Answers:

Empirical formula HgCl
Molecular Formula Hg2Cl2
