Determine the composition of each phase in a cu-40% ni alloy at 1300c,
Morgarella [4.7K]
To be able to answer this, you need to have a phase diagram of Cu-Ni alloy. Create a vertical line along 40% in the x-axis. Then, create a horizontal line along the temperature at 1,300°C. The intersection lies outside of the α-L boundary. <em>Therefore, the system consist solely of the L-phase: 100% L.</em>

Nitroglycerin is a dangerous powerful explosive that violently decomposes when it is shaken or dropped. The Swedish chemist Alfr
pshichka [43]

Answer:

1. 2 C₃H₅N₃O₉(l) ⇒ 3 N₂(g) + 1/2 O₂(g) + 5 H₂O(g) + 6 CO₂(g)

2. 146 g of nitroglycerin.

Explanation:

<em>1. Write a balanced chemical equation, including physical state symbols, for the decomposition of liquid nitroglycerin ( </em><em>C₃H₅N₃O₉</em><em>) into gaseous dinitrogen, gaseous dioxygen, gaseous water and gaseous carbon dioxide.</em>

The equation is:

C₃H₅N₃O₉(l) ⇒ N₂(g) + O₂(g) + H₂O(g) + CO₂(g)

Since atomicities in nitroglycerin are odd, it is easier to balance this equation by multiplying this compound by 2. The balanced equation is:

2 C₃H₅N₃O₉(l) ⇒ 3 N₂(g) + 1/2 O₂(g) + 5 H₂O(g) + 6 CO₂(g)

<em>2. Suppose 41.0L of carbon dioxide gas are produced by this reaction, at a temperature of −14.0°C and pressure of exactly 1 atm. Calculate the mass of nitroglycerin that must have reacted.</em>

First, we have to find the moles of CO₂ using the ideal gas equation.

P.V = n . R . T

where,

P is the pressure

V is the volume

n is the number of moles

R is the ideal gas constant (0.08206atm.L/mol.K)

T is the absolute temperature (-14.0 °C + 273.15 = 259.2 K)

P.V=n.R.T\\n=\frac{P.V}{R.T} =\frac{1atm . 41.0L}{(0.08206atm.L/mol.K).259.2K} =1.93mol

According to the balanced equation, 6 moles of CO₂ are formed when 2 moles of C₃H₅N₃O₉ react. And the molar mass of nitroglycerin is 227 g/mol. Then, for 1.93 moles of CO₂:

1.93mol(CO_{2}).\frac{2mol(nitroglycerin)}{6mol(CO_{2})} .\frac{227g(nitroglycerin)}{1mol(nitroglycerin)} =146g(nitroglycerin)
