For the following reaction, 22.9 grams of nitrogen monoxide are allowed to react with 5.80 grams of hydrogen gas. nitrogen monox

ololo11 [35]

Answer:

1) Maximun ammount of nitrogen gas: $m_{N2}=10.682 g N_2$

2) Limiting reagent: $NO$

3) Ammount of excess reagent: $m_{N2}=4.274 g$

Explanation:

<u>The reaction </u>

$2 NO (g) + 2 H_2 (g) \longrightarrow N_2 (g) + 2 H_2O (g)$

Moles of nitrogen monoxide

Molecular weight: $M_{NO}=30 g/mol$

$n_{NO}=\frac{m_{NO}}{M_{NO}}$

$n_{NO}=\frac{22.9 g}{30 g/mol}=0.763 mol$

Moles of hydrogen

Molecular weight: $M_{H2}=2 g/mol$

$n_{H2}=\frac{m_{H2}}{M_{H2}}$

$n_{H2}=\frac{.5.8 g}{2 g/mol}=2.9 mol$

Mol rate of H2 and NO is 1:1 => hydrogen gas is in excess

1) <u>Maximun ammount of nitrogen gas</u> => when all NO reacted

$m_{N2}=0.763 mol NO* \frac{1 mol N_2}{2 mol NO}*\frac{28 g N_2}{mol N_2}$

$m_{N2}=10.682 g N_2$

2) <u>Limiting reagent</u>: $NO$

3) <u>Ammount of excess reagent</u>:

$m_{N2}=(2.9 mol - 0.763 mol NO* \frac{1 mol H_2}{1 mol NO})*\frac{2 g H_2}{mol H_2}$

$m_{N2}=4.274 g$

A neutral atom has an atomic number of 20 and a mass number of 41; how many protons, neutrons, and electrons are found within th

djverab [1.8K]

•The atomic number of an atom is the number of protons it has. If the atomic number is 20 then we know the atom has 20 protons.

•The mass number of an atom is the total number of protons and neutrons the atom contains. The mass number is 41 and the number of protons is 20, just subtract 20 from 41 and you will get the number of neutrons: 41 - 20= 21. The atoms has 21 neutrons.

•The number of electrons found in an atom is equal to the number of protons. The atoms has 20 protons which means it has 20 electrons.

So, the answer is:
B) 20 protons, 20 electrons, and 21 neutrons

Enthalpies of reaction calculated from bond energies and from enthalpies of formation are often, but not always, close to each o

jolli1 [7]

The enthalpy change in a reaction is given by-

ΔH°rxn = ∑nΔH°f,products - ∑nΔH°f,reactants

This can be expressed in terms of bond energy as-

ΔH°rxn = BEreactants - BEproducts

Therefore, the calculated bond energy according to the above equation will be-

ΔH°rxn = [ (C-C) + 2(C-O) + 4(C-H) + 2(O-H) ] - [ (C-C) + 2(C-O) + 4(C-H) + 2(O-H) = 0 kJ/mol

<h3>What is enthalpy change?</h3>

Enthalpy change is a measure of the energy emitted or consumed in a reaction. This can be determined using the following equation which involves standard enthalpy of reactant and product formation:

ΔH°rxn = ∑nΔH°f,products - ∑nΔH°f,reactants

<h3>What is bond energy?</h3>

Bond energy is defined as the amount of energy needed to dissociate a mole of molecules into their individual atoms.
