Answer:

Explosives are chemicals that have very fast burn rates at different degree.

First the Dynamite:

-The dynamite is an explosive that made from nitroglycerin, and it is a type of the explosive that has a fast burning rate and makes it very strong explosive. Physical shock can make the dynamite to explode and makes it highly dangerous.

-But the fireworks are a class of low explosive, the stuff that used in it is black powder.Because this explosive has a slow burn rate than dynamite that makes it less dangerous and safer than dynamite explosives

-SO although the dynamite and the fireworks are both explosives they have different burn rates which make them totally different in safeness.

Answer:

Mass = 42.8g

Explanation:

4 NH 3 ( g ) + 5 O 2 ( g ) ⟶ 4 NO ( g ) + 6 H 2 O ( g )

Observe that every 4 mole of ammonia requires 5 moles of oxygen to obtain 4 moles of Nitrogen oxide and 6 moles of water.

Step 1: Determine the balanced chemical equation for the chemical reaction.

The balanced chemical equation is already given.

Step 2: Convert all given information into moles (through the use of molar mass as a conversion factor).

Ammonia = 63.4g × 1mol / 17.031 g = 3.7226mol

Oxygen = 63.4g × 1mol / 32g = 1.9813mol

Step 3: Calculate the mole ratio from the given information. Compare the calculated ratio to the actual ratio.

If all of the 1.9831 moles of oxygen were to be used up, there would need to be 1.9831 × 4 / 5 or 1.5865 moles of Ammonia. We have 3.72226 moles of ammonia - Far excess. Because there is an excess of Ammonia, the Oxygen amount is used to calculate the amount of the products in the reaction.

Step 4: Use the amount of limiting reactant to calculate the amount of H2O produced.

5 moles of O2 = 6 moles of H2O

1.9831 moles = x

x = (1.9831 * 6 ) / 5

x = 2.37972 moles

Mass of H2O = Molar mass * Molar mass

Mass = 2.7972 * 18

Mass = 42.8g

Aqueous sulfuric acid reacts with solid sodium hydroxide to produce aqueous sodium sulfate and liquid water . If of sodium sulfa

notka56 [123]

Answer:

27%

Explanation:

Hello,

The following information is missing, but I found it: "1.92 g of sodium sulfate is produced from the reaction of 4.9 g of sulfuric acid and 7.8 g of sodium hydroxide" so the undergoing chemical reaction is:

$2NaOH+H_2SO_4-->Na_2SO_4+2H_2O$

Now, to compute the percent yield, we must first establish the limiting reagent to subsequently determine the theoretical yield of sodium sulfate because the real (1.92g) is already given, thus, we consider the following procedure:

$n_{NaOH}=7.8gNaOH*\frac{1molNaOH}{40gNaOH}=0.2molNaOH\\n_{H_2SO_4}=4.9gH_2SO_4*\frac{1molH_2SO_4}{98gH_2SO_4}=0.050molH_2SO_4\\$

- The moles of sodium hydroxide that completely react with 0.05 moles of sulfuric acid are:

$0.2molNaOH*\frac{1molH_2SO_4}{2molNaOH}=0.098molH_2SO_4$

As this number is higher than the previously computed 0.05 moles of available sulfuric acid, one states that the sulfuric acid is the limiting reagent. Now, the theoretical grams of sodium sulfate are found via:

$0.05molH_2SO_4*\frac{1molNa_2SO_4}{1mol H_2SO_4} *\frac{142.04gNa_2SO_4}{1molNa_2SO_4} =7.1gNa_2SO_4$
