What is plasma and where can you find it

Plasmas are a common part of the world we live in. The definition of plasma allows them to exist within an environment consisting mostly of bound atoms.

A variety of human technology creates plasmas. The type I hear plasma researchers reference most is a simple RF Plasma. This is perhaps the most direct way to use electricity to shake off the electrons from their atoms within a confined volume by using fast oscillating electromagnetic fields.

Nature also creates plasma. An Aurora is certainly included. Many less "exotic" plasma states are much more common. A fire has a low population of the ionized species, but is still a plasma.

See Wikipedia for a list of available plasmas over there..! Or have a look below for the chart which shows variation of temperature and electron density in different plasmas..!

Plasmas

A quick Googling would've provided the answer. Common examples include

Lightning..!

The Sun (from Core to Corona)

Fluorescent Lights and Neon Signs

Nebulae (Luminous Clouds in Space)

The Solar Wind

Primordial Fusion during the evolution of the Universe

Magnetic Confinement Fusion Plasmas

Inertially Confined Fusion Plasmas

Flames as Plasmas

Auroras (Northern & Southern Lights)

Interstellar Space (It's not empty... It's a plasma)

Quasars, Radiogalaxies, and Galaxies (Emit plasma radiation and microwaves)

Large Scale Structures of Galaxies (Filamentary and magnetized..!)

Dense Solid State Matter (When shocked by nuclear explosion or earthquakes which emit both visible light and radio waves)

Plasmas are a lot like gases, they are made up of free electrons and ions of an element such as neon (Ne). You don't find naturally occurring plasmas too often when you walk around. They aren't things that happen regularly on Earth.

Calculate ΔrG∘ at 298 K for the following reactions.CO(g)+H2O(g)→H2(g)+CO2(g)2-Predict the effect on ΔrG∘ of lowering the temper

KonstantinChe [14]

Answer:

1) ΔG°r(298 K) = - 28.619 KJ/mol

2) ΔG°r will decrease with decreasing temperature

Explanation:

CO(g) + H2O(g) → H2(g) + CO2(g)

1) ΔG°r = ∑νiΔG°f,i

⇒ ΔG°r(298 K) = ΔG°CO2(g) + ΔG°H2(g) - ΔG°H2O(g) - ΔG°CO(g)

from literature, T = 298 K:

∴ ΔG°CO2(g) = - 394.359 KJ/mol

∴ ΔG°CO(g) = - 137.152 KJ/mol

∴ ΔG°H2(g) = 0 KJ/mol........pure substance

∴ ΔG°H2O(g) = - 228.588 KJ/mol

⇒ ΔG°r(298 K) = - 394.359 KJ/mol + 0 KJ/mol - ( - 228.588 KJ/mol ) - ( - 137.152 KJ7mol )

⇒ ΔG°r(298 K) = - 28.619 KJ/mol

2) K = e∧(-ΔG°/RT)

∴ R = 8.314 E-3 KJ/K.mol

∴ T = 298 K

⇒ K = e∧(-28.619/(8.314 E-3)(298) = 9.624 E-6

⇒ ΔG°r = - RTLnK

If T (↓) ⇒ ΔG°r (↓)

assuming T = 200 K

⇒ ΔG°r(200 K) = - (8.314 E-3)(200)Ln(9.624E-3)

⇒ ΔG°r (200K) = - 19.207 KJ/mol < ΔG°r(298 K) = - 28.619 KJ/mol

The depletion of ozone (O3) in the stratosphere has been a matter of great concern among scientists in recent years. It is belie

Deffense [45]

Answer: Nitric oxide is the limiting reagent. The number of moles of excess reagent left is 0.0039 moles. The amount of nitrogen dioxide produced will be 0.7912 g.

Explanation:

To calculate the number of moles, we use the equation

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

For ozone:

Given mass of ozone = 0.827 g

Molar mass of ozone = 48 g/mol

Putting values in above equation, we get:

$\text{Moles of ozone}=\frac{0.827g}{48g/mol}=0.0172mol$

For nitric oxide:

Given mass of nitric oxide = 0.635 g

Molar mass of nitric oxide = 30.01 g/mol

Putting values in above equation, we get:

$\text{Moles of nitric oxide}=\frac{0.635g}{30.01g/mol}=0.0211mol$

For the given chemical equation:

$O_3+NO\rightarrow O_2+NO_2$

By Stoichiometry of the reaction:

1 mole of ozone reacts with 1 mole of nitric oxide.

So, 0.0172 moles of ozone will react with = $\frac{1}{1}\times 0.0172=0.0172moles$ of nitric oxide

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

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

Amount of excess reagent (nitric oxide) left = 0.0211 - 0.0172 = 0.0039 moles

By Stoichiometry of the reaction:

1 mole of ozone produces 1 mole of nitrogen dioxide.

So, 0.0172 moles of ozone will react with = $\frac{1}{1}\times 0.0172=0.0172moles$ of nitrogen dioxide

Now, calculating the mass of nitrogen dioxide from equation 1, we get:

Molar mass of nitrogen dioxide = 46 g/mol

Moles of nitrogen dioxide = 0.0172 moles

Putting values in equation 1, we get:

$0.0172mol=\frac{\text{Mass of nitrogen dioxide}}{46g/mol}\\\\\text{Mass of nitrogen dioxide}=0.7912g$

Hence, nitric oxide is the limiting reagent. The number of moles of excess reagent left is 0.0039 moles. The amount of nitrogen dioxide produced will be 0.7912 g.
