<span>N2O3 Determine the number of moles of oxygen and nitrogen you have: Atomic weight nitrogen = 14.0067 Atomic weight oxygen = 15.999 Moles nitrogen = 7.37 / 14.0067 = 0.526176758 moles Moles oxygen = (20 - 7.37) / 15.999 = 12.63 / 15.999 = 0.789424339 moles So the nitrogen to oxygen ratio is 0.526176758 : 0.789424339 We need a ratio of small integers that's close to the above ratio, so divide by the smallest number in ratio, getting 1 : 1.500302564 The 1.500 isn't close, but it does indicate that multiplying by 2 should be useful, giving 2 : 3.000605127 And the ratio 2:3 looks good. So the empirical formula for the unknown compound is N2O3</span>

For the reaction of oxygen and nitrogen to form nitric oxide, consider the following thermodynamic data (Due to variations in th
CaHeK987 [17]

Answer:

a. 7278 K

b. 4.542 × 10⁻³¹

Explanation:

a.

Let´s consider the following reaction.

N₂(g) + O₂(g) ⇄ 2 NO(g)

The reaction is spontaneous when:

ΔG° < 0  [1]

Let's consider a second relation:

ΔG° = ΔH° - T × ΔS° [2]

Combining [1] and [2],

ΔH° - T × ΔS° < 0

ΔH° < T × ΔS°

T > ΔH°/ΔS°

T > (180.5 × 10³ J/mol)/(24.80 J/mol.K)

T >  7278 K

b.

First, we will calculate ΔG° at 25°C + 273.15 = 298 K

ΔG° = ΔH° - T × ΔS°

ΔG° = 180.5 kJ/mol - 298 K × 24.80 × 10⁻³ kJ/mol.K

ΔG° = 173.1 kJ/mol

We can calculate the equilibrium constant using the following expression.

ΔG° = - R × T × lnK

lnK = - ΔG° / R × T

lnK = - 173.1 × 10³ J/mol / (8.314 J/mol.K) × 298 K

K = 4.542 × 10⁻³¹

Answer:asexual- Energy is not required to find a mate. Offspring are genetic clones. A negative mutation can make asexually produced organisms susceptible to disease and can destroy large numbers of offspring. Some methods of asexual reproduction produce offspring that are close together and compete for food and space.

Explanation:During sexual reproduction the genetic material of two individuals is combined to produce genetically diverse offspring that differ from their parents.
