Answer:

Yes.

Explanation:

The atomic number is derived from the number of protons. For example: Radium has 88 protons and its atomic number is 88. Helium has 2 protons its atomic number is 2. Sodium's atomic number is 11 it has 11 protons.

1-Bromopropane is treated with each of the following reagents. Draw the major substitution product if the reaction proceeds in g

sammy [17]

Answer:

Explanation:

If we look at the structure of 1-Bromopropane; we will see that it is a derivative of alkane family by the the substitution of an alkyl group. The position of the Bromine in the propane is 1, making 1-Bromopropane a primary alkyl-halide.

Primary alkyl - halide undergo SN2 mechanism. This nucleophilic reaction needs to be a strong alkyl halide , such as 1-Bromopropane used otherwise it will result to a reactive mechanism if a weak electrophile is used.

However, the critical and the main objective here is to Draw the major substitution product if the reaction proceeds in good yield. If no reaction is expected or yields will be poor, draw the starting material in the box. If a charged product is formed, be sure to draw the counterion.

The attached diagrams portraying this notions is shown in the attached file below.

When nitrogen dioxide (NO2) from car exhaust combines with water in the air, it forms nitric acid (HNO3), which causes acid rain

yKpoI14uk [10]

Answer:

For a: The number of molecules of nitrogen dioxide is $4.52\times 10^{23}$

For b: The mass of nitric acid formed is 54.81 grams

For c: The mass of nitric acid formed is 206 grams

Explanation:

The given chemical reaction follows:

$3NO_2(g)+H_2O(l)\rightarrow 2HNO_3(aq.)+NO(g)$

For a:

By Stoichiometry of the reaction:

1 mole of water reacts with 3 moles of nitrogen dioxide

So, 0.250 moles of water will react with $\frac{3}{1}\times 0.250=0.75mol$ of nitrogen dioxide

According to mole concept:

1 mole of a compound contains $6.022\times 10^{23}$ number of molecules.

So, 0.75 moles of nitrogen dioxide will contain $0.75\times 6.022\times 10^{23}=4.52\times 10^{23}$ number of molecules

Hence, the number of molecules of nitrogen dioxide is $4.52\times 10^{23}$

For b:

To calculate the number of moles, we use the equation:

$\text{Number of moles}=\frac{\text{Given mass}}{\text{Molar mass}}$ .....(1)

Given mass of nitrogen dioxide = 60.0 g

Molar mass of nitrogen dioxide = 46 g/mol

Putting values in equation 1, we get:

$\text{Moles of nitrogen dioxide}=\frac{60.0g}{46g/mol}=1.304mol$

By Stoichiometry of the reaction:

3 moles of nitrogen dioxide produces 2 mole of nitric acid

So, 1.304 moles of nitrogen dioxide will produce = $\frac{2}{3}\times 1.304=0.870$ moles of nitric acid

Now, calculating the mass of nitric acid from equation 1, we get:

Molar mass of nitric acid = 63 g/mol

Moles of nitric acid = 0.870 moles

Putting values in equation 1, we get:

$0.870mol=\frac{\text{Mass of nitric acid}}{63g/mol}\\\\\text{Mass of nitric acid}=(0.870mol\times 63g/mol)=54.81g$

Hence, the mass of nitric acid formed is 54.81 grams

For c:

For nitrogen dioxide:

Given mass of nitrogen dioxide = 225 g

Molar mass of nitrogen dioxide = 46 g/mol

Putting values in equation 1, we get:

$\text{Moles of nitrogen dioxide}=\frac{225g}{46g/mol}=4.90mol$

For water:

Given mass of water = 55.2 g

Molar mass of water = 18 g/mol

Putting values in equation 1, we get:

$\text{Moles of water}=\frac{55.2g}{18g/mol}=3.06mol$

By Stoichiometry of the reaction:

3 moles of nitrogen dioxide reacts with 1 mole of water

So, 4.90 moles of nitrogen dioxide will react with = $\frac{1}{3}\times 4.90=1.63mol$ of water

As, given amount of water is more than the required amount. So, it is considered as an excess reagent.

Thus, nitrogen dioxide is considered as a limiting reagent because it limits the formation of product.

By Stoichiometry of the reaction:

3 mole of nitrogen dioxide produces 2 moles of nitric acid

So, 4.90 moles of nitrogen dioxide will produce $\frac{2}{3}\times 4.90=3.27mol$ of nitric acid

Now, calculating the mass of nitric acid from equation 1, we get:

Molar mass of nitric acid = 63 g/mol

Moles of nitric acid = 3.27 moles

Putting values in equation 1, we get:

$3.27mol=\frac{\text{Mass of nitric acid}}{63g/mol}\\\\\text{Mass of nitric acid}=(3.27mol\times 63g/mol)=206g$

Hence, the mass of nitric acid formed is 206 grams
