Most of the sulfur used in the United States is chemically synthesized from hydrogen sulfide gas recovered from natural gas well

s. In the first step of this synthesis, called Claus process, hydrogen sulfide gas is reacted with dioxygen gas to produce gaseous sulfur dioxide and water. Suppose a chemical engineer studying a new catalyst for the Claus reaction finds that 450 liters per second of dioxygen are consumed when the reaction is run at 264 degrees Celsius and 0.48 atm.
Required:
Calculate the rate at which sulfur dioxide is being produced. Give the answer in kg per second.

Answer:

0.21\ \text{kg/s}

Explanation:

P = Pressure = 0.48\ \text{atm}=0.48\times 101325\ \text{Pa}

V = Volume = 450\ \text{L/s}=450\times 10^{-3}\ \text{m}^3/\text{s}

R = Gas constant = 8.314\ \text{J/mol K}

T = Temperature = (264+273.15)\ \text{K}

The reaction is

2H_2S+3O_2\rightarrow 2SO_2+2H_2O

From ideal gas equation we have

PV=nRT\\\Rightarrow n=\dfrac{PV}{RT}\\\Rightarrow n=\dfrac{0.48\times101325\times 450\times 10^{-3}}{8.314\times (264+273.15)}\\\Rightarrow n=4.9\ \text{mol}

Moles of SO_2 produced is

\dfrac{2}{3}\times 4.9=3.267\ \text{moles}

Molar mass of SO_2 = 64.066 g/mol

Production rate is

3.267\times 64.066=209.3\ \text{g/s}=0.21\ \text{kg/s}

The rate at which sulfur dioxide is being produced 0.21\ \text{kg/s}.

How much heat energy is required to boil 66.7 g of ammonia, NH3? The molar heat of vaporization of ammonia is 23.4 kJ/mol.
pochemuha

Answer:

91.7 kJ

Explanation:

Step 1: Given data

  • Mass of ammonia (m): 66.7 g
  • Molar heat of vaporization of ammonia (ΔH°vap): 23.4 kJ/mol

Step 2: Calculate the moles (n) corresponding to 66.7 g of ammonia

The molar mass of ammonia is 17.03 g/mol.

66.7 g × 1 mol/17.03 g = 3.92 mol

Step 3: Calculate the heat (Q) required to boil 3.92 moles of ammonia

We will use the following expression.

Q = ΔH°vap × n

Q = 23.4 kJ/mol × 3.92 mol = 91.7 kJ

Which family on the periodic table has a filled outer energy level?
Ede4ka [16]

The family on the periodic table that has a filled outer energy level is VIIIA. The answer is letter D. They are also called the noble gases or inert gases. They are virtually unreactive towards other elements or compounds. They are found in trace amounts in the atmosphere. Their elemental form at room temperature is colorless, odorless and monatomic gases. They also have full octet of eight valence electrons in their highest orbitals so they have a very little tendency to gain or lose electrons to form ions or share electrons with other elements in covalent bonds.
