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.

What mass of silver oxide, Ag2O is required to produce 25.0 g of silver sulfadiazine, AgC10H9N4SO2, from the reaction of silver
Wittaler [7]

Answer:

8.1107 g

Explanation:

The given reaction:

2C_{10}H_{10}N_4SO_2+Ag_2O\rightarrow 2AgC_{10}H_9N_4SO_2+H_2O

Given that:

Mass of silver sulfadiazine = 25.0 g

Molar mass of silver sulfadiazine = 357.14 g/mol

The formula for the calculation of moles is shown below:

moles = \frac{Mass\ taken}{Molar\ mass}

Thus,

Moles= \frac{25.0\ g}{357.14\ g/mol}

Moles= 0.07\ mol

From the reaction,

2 moles of silver sulfadiazine are formed from 1 mole of silver oxide

So,

1 mole of silver sulfadiazine are formed from 1/2 mole of silver oxide

0.07 mole of silver sulfadiazine are formed from 1/2*0.07 mole of silver oxide

Moles of silver oxide = 0.035 moles

Molar mass  of silver oxide = 231.735 g/mol

Mass = Moles * Molar mass = 0.035 moles * 231.735 g/mol = 8.1107 g

What did J.J. Thomson discover about the atom that changed the atomic model previously used?
galina1969 [7]
J.J. Thomson hypothesized and discovered that the atom was not the smallest unit of matter but that instead there were much smaller units. He discovered "sub-atomic particles" which make up atoms. The sub-atomic particle that Thomson discovered was the electron. He discovered this through a process of experiments testing cathode rays.
