Answer:

See explanation.

Explanation:

Hello,

In this case, we say that chemical reactions are governed by the law of conservation of mass, which states that matter cannot be neither created nor destroyed by transformed, for that reason, we need to balance chemical reactions in order to ensure all the atoms to be in the same quantity at both reactants and products.

Moreover, equilibrium is defined as such condition at which the concentration of both reactants and products stop changing over the time so they become constant as well as their null reaction rate.

A widely acknowledged reaction is the HABER one which consists on the synthesis of ammonia by using elemental nitrogen and hydrogen:

N_2(g)+3H_2(g)\rightleftharpoons 2NH_3(g)

In such reaction, we have two nitrogens at both reatants and products and six hydrogens at at both reatants and products for us to obey the law of conservation of mass. Furthermore, as the time goes by, nitrogen reacts with hydrogen, nonetheless, they do not react indefinitely, they have a limit that is equilibrium, so their moles stop being consumed and remain unchanged as well as the produced moles of ammonia.

Best regards.

A person accidentally swallows three drops of liquid oxygen, , which has a density of 1.149 g/ml. assuming the drop has a volume
DerKrebs [107]
<span>134 ml First, let's determine how many moles of oxygen we have. Atomic weight oxygen = 15.999 Molar mass O2 = 2*15.999 = 31.998 g/mol We have 3 drops at 0.050 ml each for a total volume of 3*0.050ml = 0.150 ml Since the density is 1.149 g/mol, we have 1.149 g/ml * 0.150 ml = 0.17235 g of O2 Divide the number of grams by the molar mass to get the number of moles 0.17235 g / 31.998 g/mol = 0.005386274 mol Now we can use the ideal gas law. The equation PV = nRT where P = pressure (1.0 atm) V = volume n = number of moles (0.005386274 mol) R = ideal gas constant (0.082057338 L*atm/(K*mol) ) T = Absolute temperature ( 30 + 273.15 = 303.15 K) Now take the formula and solve for V, then substitute the known values and solve. PV = nRT V = nRT/P V = 0.005386274 mol * 0.082057338 L*atm/(K*mol) * 303.15 K / 1.0 atm V = 0.000441983 L*atm/(K*) * 303.15 K / 1.0 atm V = 0.133987239 L*atm / 1.0 atm V = 0.133987239 L So the volume (rounded to 3 significant figures) will be 134 ml.</span>
