50.7 g. First, lookup the atomic weights of all the involved elements. Atomic weight nitrogen = 14.0067 Atomic weight hydrogen = 1.00794 Atomic weight oxygen = 15.999 Now calculate the molar masses Molar mass NO = 14.0067 + 15.999 = 30.0057 g/mol Molar mass H2 = 2 * 1.00794 = 2.01588 g/mol Molar mass NH3 = 14.0067 + 3 * 1.00794 = 17.03052 g/mol Calculate how many moles of each reactant we have: Moles NO = 89.3 g / 30.0057 g/mol = 2.9761 mol Moles H2 = 28.6 g / 2.01588 g/mol = 14.1874 mol The balanced equation for the reaction is 2NO + 5H2 ==> 2NH3 + 2H2O Let's see what the limiting reactant is. Assuming NO is limit. 2.9761 mol / 2 * 5 = 7.44 mol So 2.9761 moles of NO will need 7.44 moles of hydrogen gas which is less than the amount of hydrogen we have. So NO is our limiting reactant. And since 2 moles of NO produces 2 moles of NH3, we will get the same number of moles of NH3 as moles of NO we have, so we'll have 2.9761 moles of NH3. To find the mass, just multiply by the molar mass. So 2.9761 mol * 17.03052 g/mol = 50.68453057 g Rounding to 3 significant figures gives 50.7 g.

Balanced equation:
2 NO + 5 H2 ------> 2 NH3 + 2 H2O

2 moles NO react with 5 moles H2 to produce 2 moles NH3

Molar mass of NO = 30.00 g/mol 
86.3g NO = 86.3/30.00 = 2.877 moles of NO 

This will require: 2.877*5 / 2 = 7.192 moles of H2 

Molar mass of H2 = 2 g/mol 
25.6g H2 = 25.6/2 = 12.7 mol H2. 
You have excess H2 means the NO is limiting 

From the balanced equation: 
2 moles of NO will produce 2 moles of NH3 
2.877 moles of NO will produce 2.877 moles of NH3 

Molar mass NH3 = 17g/mol 
Mass NH3 produced = 2.877 * 17 = 48.91g

Hence the yield is = 48.91 g ~ 49 g

The decomposition reaction of CO2(g) to produce carbon and oxygen gas consumes 462 kJ of energy. The energy levels of the produc

Semenov [28]

Answer:

higher, left

Explanation:

Given that the reaction consumes 462 kJ of energy. It means that the reaction is a endothermic reaction.

In the energy profile of the endothermic diagrams, The reactants are at a very low level as compared to the products and hence, energy is supplied to overcome this difference.

Hence, The energy levels of products are higher than the energy level of reactant.

Hence, already stated, heat is required by the reaction and thus heat is written to the reactant side which is to the left side of the equation.

Name an atom that loses one electron when it reacts to another atom

Hitman42 [59]

Lithium, Sodium, Potassium; any of the Alkali Metals, which are farthest left on the periodic table. This is because they only have one electron in their outermost shell, so they would rather lose an electron rather than try to gain 7 to achieve that full outer shell.

Infrared radiation A) Heat from warm objects, used to detect the location of objects Microwaves B) All the radiation humans can

Kazeer [188]

Answer:

Infrared radiation → A) used to detect the location of objects

Microwaves → D) Used in radar and to heat food

Ultraviolet light → C)Given off by very hot objects, such as the sun Heat from warm objects

Visible light → B) All the radiation humans can see, ranging from red to violet

Explanation:

Microwaves have magnetic waves with very long lengths, greater than that of infrared light. These waves are produced through vibrations that produce heat, as the microwave is turned on, which allows the food to be heated. These waves are also used to provide communication on some types of devices.

Infrared radiation is a type of non-ionizing radiation that has a low frequency and therefore cannot be visualized, since it is not within a visible electromagnetic spectrum, having a frequency lower than red. It can be used to detect the licalization of objects and does not pose a health risk.

Ultraviolet radiation is extremely harmful to our body. It is characterized by radiation with very small wavelengths, less than 400nm. This type of radiation can be released by the sun and ultraviolet lamps.

Visible light refers to the simplest form of electromagnetic wave and covers all the radiation that our eyes can see, allowing different colors to be seen in the objects we observe according to the reorganization of atoms and molecules.

Ethanol is a common laboratory solvent and has a density of 0.789 g/ml. What is the mass, in grams, of 125 ml of ethanol?

olga55 [171]

The density of a material is its unique property by which a unknown material can be identified and also the impurity (if present) in a material can be concluded. Mathematically the density can be expressed as- $\frac{mass}{volume}$ . Thus from the mathematical expression we can say that the density is the mass per unit volume of a material. Here the density of ethanol is given 0.789 g/mL. Thus the weight of the 1 mL ethanol is 0.789g. Thus the weight of the 125 mL of ethanol will be (125×0.789) = 98.625 g.
