A chemical engineer must calculate the maximum safe operating temperature of a high-pressure gas reaction vessel. The vessel is

a stainless-steel cylinder that measures 39.0cm wide and 46.8cm high. The maximum safe pressure inside the vessel has been measured to be 5.30MPa. For a certain reaction the vessel may contain up to 7.20kg of sulfur hexafluoride gas. Calculate the maximum safe operating temperature the engineer should recommend for this reaction. Write your answer in degrees Celsius. Round your answer to 3 significant digits.

Answer:

Maximum safe operating temperature = 450 °C

Explanation:

First, the volume of the cylindrical vessel is determined using the formula:

v = πr²h

Radius, r, of stainless steel vessel = width or diameter / 2

r = 39.0 cm / 2 = 19.5 cm

height of vessel = 46.8 cm

volume of cylinder = 22/7 × 19.5² × 46.8 = 55929.343 cm³ = 0.05593 m³

Using the ideal gas equation to calculate the maximum safe temperature

PV = nRT

pressure, P = 5.30 MPa = 5.30 × 10⁶ Pa

R = 8.314 J/mol.K

n = mass of gas/ molar mass of gas

molar mass of SF₆ = 146 g/mol

mass of Sf₆ = 7.20 kg = 7200 g

n = 7200/146 = 49.315 moles

T = PV/nR

T = (5.30 × 10⁶ × 0.05593) / (49.315 × 8.314)

T = 722.98 K

T in °C = 714.98 - 273.15 = 449.83 °C

Therefore, maximum safe operating temperature = 450 °C

Why is NaHCO3 a base?
worty [1.4K]

NaHCO3 is a product of a strong base and a weak acid reaction. Thus it has weak basic properties.

HCO3- ion is actually amphoteric, which means it can act as a base or an acid. But it is weaker than a strong acid or a strong base.

<span>HCO3- is amphoteric meaning it acts both as a B.L. Acid and a B.L. Base.. which is why it's used to neutralize both acid and base spills in the lab.</span>

What is the theoretical yield of aluminum oxide if 3.00 mol of aluminum metal is exposed to 2.55 mol of oxygen?
lisabon 2012 [21]

Theoretical yield of Al₂O₃: 1.50 mol.

<h3>Explanation</h3>

2 \; \text{Al} + \dfrac{3}{2} \; \text{O}_2 \to {\bf 1} \; \text{Al}_2\text{O}_3;

4 \; \text{Al} + 3 \; \text{O}_2 \to 2 \; \text{Al}_2\text{O}_3 \; \textit{Balanced}.

How many moles of aluminum oxide formula units will be produced <em>if</em> aluminum is the limiting reactant?

Aluminum reacts to aluminum oxide at a two-to-one ratio.

3.00 \times \dfrac{1}{2} = 1.50 \; \text{mol}.

As a result, 3.00 moles of aluminum will give rise to 1.50 moles of aluminum oxide.

How many moles of aluminum oxide formula units will be produced <em>if</em> oxygen is the limiting reactant?

Oxygen reacts to produce aluminum oxide at a three-to-two ratio.

2.55 \times \dfrac{2}{3} = 1.70 \; \text{mol}

As a result, 2.55 moles of oxygen will give rise to 1.70 moles of aluminum oxide.

How many moles of aluminum oxide formula units will be produced?

Aluminum is the limiting reactant. Only 1.50 moles of aluminum oxide formula units will be produced. 1.70 moles isn't feasible since aluminum would run out by the time 1.50 moles was produced.

Hydrides are compounds made up of hydrogen and metal. Why ammonia has the highest boiling point among the hydrides of elements i
RoseWind [281]
The correct option is D.
The hydrogen atoms that are attached to the nitrogen atom in the ammonia molecule are capable of forming hydrogen bond. The hydrogen bond that exist in the ammonia molecule is the reason why it shows higher boiling point compare to the other hydrides. Hydrogen bond occur in ammonia because ammonia is one of the most electronegative elements.
