Nitrogen fixation is the process that makes atmospheric nitrogen available to plants by mutualistic and free-living bacteria. The process is undertaken by the rhizobium bacteria that live in root roots of plants such as legumes. The mutualistic relationship is that the plant supplies the bacteria with a habitat in which to live, water, and nutrients, and the bacteria supply nitrogen for making plant proteins.
Answer:
a. Theoretical yield = 8.81 g
b. 77 %
Explanation:
We begin from the reaction:
2Fe (s) + 3Cl₂ (g) → 2FeCl₃ (s)
and the excess is the iron, so the limiting reagent is the chlorine.
We convert mass to moles → 5.78 g / 70.90 g/mol = 0.0815 mol
Ratio is 3:2 so we think this:
From 3 moles of chlorine, I can produce 2 moles of Iron (III) chloride
Then 0.0815 moles would produce (0.0815 . 2) /3 = 0.0543 moles
This is the theoretical yield. We convert the moles to mass:
0.0543 mol . 162.2 g /mol = 8.81 g
If the reaction yields 6.79 g of FeCl₃ and the theoretical yield is 8.81 g ,we can obtain the percent yield: (6.79 / 8.81) . 100 = 77 %
Answer:
"Endothermic reaction: In an endothermic reaction, the products are higher in energy than the reactants. Therefore, the change in enthalpy is positive, and heat is absorbed from the surroundings of the reaction."
Explanation:
Answer:
New kinds of products forms and the reaction is not easily reversible.
Explanation:
The only way to be certain that a chemical change has occurred is by finding out if new kinds of products have been formed.
A chemical change is a change in which new kinds of matter is formed. It is always accompanied by energy changes.
The process is not easily reversible.
Examples of chemical changes are combustion, rusting of iron, precipitation and souring of milk.
