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.

kykrilka [37]

Answer:

a)23.2 L

b)68.3kPa

c)7.5 atm

d)60.5L

e)1.67 atm

Explanation:

From Boyle's law:

P1V1=P2V2

P1= 748mmHg

P2=725mmHg

V1= 22.5L

V2??

V2= P1V1/P2= 748×22.5/725= 23.2 L

b)

V1=4.0L

P1= 205×10^3Pa

V2= 12.0L

P2=???

P2= P1V1/V2= 205×10^3×4/12

P2= 68.3×10^3 Pa or 68.3kPa

c)

P1= 1 atm

V1= 196.0L

P2= ??

V2= 26.0L

P2= P1V1/V2=1×196.0/26.0

P2= 7.5 atm

d)

V1= 40.0L

P1= 12.7×10^3Pa

V2=???

P2= 8.4×103Pa

V2= P1V1/P2= 12.7×10^3×40.0/8.4×103

V2=60.5L

e)

V1= 100mL

P1= 1atm

V2= 60mL

P2=???

P2= P1V1/V2= 1×100/60

P2= 1.67 atm

How many molecules of CBr4 are in 250 grams of CBr4
Kazeer [188]

Answer:- 4.54*10^2^3 molecules.

Solution:- The grams of tetrabromomethane are given and it asks to calculate the number of molecules.

It is a two step unit conversion problem. In the first step, grams are converted to moles on dividing the grams by molar mass.

In second step, the moles are converted to molecules on multiplying by Avogadro number.

Molar mass of CBr_4  = 12+4(79.9)  = 331.6 g per mol

let's make the set up using dimensional analysis:

250g(\frac{1mol}{331.6g})(\frac{6.022*10^2^3molecules}{1mol})

= 4.54*10^2^3 molecules

So, there will be 4.54*10^2^3 molecules in 250 grams of CBr_4 .
