Nitrogen forms a surprising number of compounds with oxygen. A number of these, often given the collective symbol NOx (for "nitr

ogen x oxygens") are serious contributors to air pollution. They can often be interconverted, sometimes by reaction with oxygen or ozone (O3) in the air.
An atmospheric scientist decides to study the reaction between nitrogen monoxide and oxygen that produces nitrogen dioxide. He fills a stainless steel reaction chamber with 4.9atm of nitrogen monoxide gas and 5.1atm of oxygen gas and raises the temperature considerably. At equilibrium he measures the mole fraction of nitrogen dioxide to be 0.52.

Calculate the pressure equilibrium constant Kp for the equilibrium between nitrogen monoxide, oxygen, and nitrogen dioxide at the final temperature of the mixture. Round your answer to 2 significant digits.

Answer:

9.2

Explanation:

Let's do an equilibrium chart of this reaction:

2NO(g) + O₂(g) ⇄ 2NO₂(g)

4.9 atm    5.1 atm    0       Initial

-2x             -x           +2x    Reacts (stoichiometry is 2:1:2)

4.9-2x      5.1-x        2x      Equilibrium

The mole fraction of NO₂ (y) can be calculated by the Raoult's law, that states that the mole fraction is the partial pressure divided by the total pressure:

y = 2x/(4.9 - 2x + 5.1 -x + 2x)

0.52 = 2x/(10 - x)

2x = 5.2 -0.52x

2.52x = 5.2

x = 2.06 atm

Thus, the partial pressure at equilibrium are:

pNO = 4.9 -2*2.06 = 0.78 atm

pO₂ = 5.1 - 2.06 = 3.04 atm

pNO₂ = 2*2.06 = 4.12 atm

Thus, the pressure equilibrium constant Kp is:

Kp = [(pNO₂)²]/[(pNO)²*(pO₂)]

Kp = [(4.12)²]/[(0.78)²*3.04]

Kp = [16.9744]/[1.849536]

Kp = 9.2

<u>Given:</u>

Concentration of HNO3 = 7.50 M

% dissociation of HNO3 = 33%

<u>To determine:</u>

The Ka of HNO3

<u>Explanation:</u>

Based on the given data

[H+] = [NO3-] = 33%[HNO3] = 0.33*7.50 = 2.48 M

The dissociation equilibrium is-

            HNO3   ↔    H+      +      NO3-

I            7.50               0                 0

C          -2.48          +2.48              +2.48

E            5.02            2.48              2.48

Ka = [H+][NO3-]/HNO3 = (2.48)²/5.02 = 1.23

Ans: Ka for HNO3 = 1.23

What would be the major product obtained from hydroboration–oxidation of the following alkenes?
zmey [24]

Answer:

a. 3-methylbutan-2-ol

b. 2-methylcyclohexan-1-ol

Explanation:

For this reaction, we must remember that the hydroboration is an <u>"anti-Markovnikov" reaction</u>. This means that the "OH" will be added at the <em>least substituted carbon of the double bond.</em>

In the case of <u>2-methyl-2-butene</u>, the double bond is between carbons 2 and 3. Carbon 2 has two bonds with two methyls and carbon 3 is attached to 1 carbon. Therefore <u>the "OH" will be added to carbon three</u> producing <u>3-methylbutan-2-ol</u>.

For 1-methylcyclohexene, the double bond is between carbons 1 and 2. Carbon 1 is attached to two carbons (carbons 6 and 7) and carbon 2 is attached to one carbon (carbon 3). Therefore<u> the "OH" will be added to carbon 2</u> producing <u>2-methylcyclohexan-1-ol</u>.

See figure 1

The building block of a nucleic acid, consisting of a five-carbon sugar covalently bonded to a nitrogenous base and a phosphate
Romashka-Z-Leto [24]

Answer:

Nucleotides

Explanation:

Nucleotides are the organic molecules which serve as monomer units for the formation of nucleic acid polymers which are the deoxyribonucleic acid and the ribonucleic acid (RNA) and both are the essential biomolecules within the life on the Earth.

Nucleotides are building blocks of the nucleic acids. They are the molecules which are composed of three sub units which are:  

  • Nitrogenous base which is also called as nucleobase
  • Five-carbon sugar  which can be ribose or deoxyribose
  • At least one phosphate group which is attached to the sugar.
