Consider the chemical reaction: 2 cu(no3)2â†’ 2 cuo (s) + 4 no2 (g) + o2 (g)when 9.378 g of cu(no3)2 completely decomposed, how

Allushta [10]

2Cu(NO3)2 ----------> 2CuO (s) +4NO2 (g) + O2(g)

9.378g=0.05moles

no of moles = weight / MW = 9.378/187.56 = 0.05moles

as per the above reaaction 2moles of Cu(NO3)2 can produce 4moles of N2

0.05moles Cu(NO3)2 can produce (0.05*4)/2 = 0.1moles of N2

and 2moles of Cu(NO3)2 can produce 1moles of O2

0.05moles Cu(NO3)2 can produce (0.05*1)/2 = 0.025moles of O2

Total moles of gas i.e., N2 and O2 =0.1+0.025 = 0.125moles

From PV = nRT

V = nRT/ P = 0.125*0.0821*273 = 2.80166Lit option is correct

A proposed mechanism for the reaction of NO2 and CO is

Novosadov [1.4K]

Answer:

1. NO2(g): Reactant.

2. CO(g): Reactant.

3. NO3(g): Intermediate.

4. CO2(g): Product.

5. NO(g): Product.

b. See attached picture.

Explanation:

Hello,

a. In this case, given the reactions, we can identify each species as:

1. NO2(g): Reactant because it remains at the left side in the overall reaction.

2. CO(g): Reactant because it remains at the left side in the overall reaction.

3. NO3(g): Intermediate because it is a product in the step 1 and a reactant in step 2, for that reason it is not present in the overall reaction.

4. CO2(g): Product because it remains at the right side in the overall reaction.

5. NO(g): Product because it remains at the right side in the overall reaction.

b. In this case, given that the first step is slow and endothermic, it has a high activation energy and the products will have more energy than the reactants, for that reason the final energy is above the initial point. Moreover, since the second step is fast and exothermic, it has a low activation energy and the products will have less energy than the reactants, for that reason, the reaction coordinate diagram is shown on the attached file.

Regards.
