3 characteristics of the carbon atom that makes possible the building of variety of biological molecules are:
• Carbon atoms can easily form covalent bonds with nitrogen, hydrogen, oxygen, sulfur and with carbon. The bonds can be single, double or triple between the atoms. This combination of carbon with other elements and with itself results in the formation of huge number of biological molecules.
• The size of carbon atom is very small in comparison to most other atoms. Thus, the bond formed between two carbon atoms is quite short. And the shorter bonds are more stronger than the longer bonds between two atoms, that's why carbon bonds are stable at the different temperatures associated with life.
• Only carbon can form stable four covalent bonds with the other elements, which makes it versatile element to serve as the basic structural component, of the macro-molecules.
Answer:
0.41kg/sec
Explanation:
PV= nRT
Given : V= 505 L
P=0.88 atm
R= 0.08206 Latm/K*mol
T= 172 .0C = 172+273 = 445 K
n = PV /RT = 0.88 * 505 / 0.08206 * 445 = 12.17 moles per sec of N2 are consumed
As per reaction : N2 + 3H2 ----> 2NH3
1 mole N2 is consumed to produce 2 moles NH3
moles of NH3 produced per sec :
(2 moles NH3/1mol N2) * 12.17 moles N2 = 24.34 moles NH3 per sec
grams of NH3 produced per sec =
24.34 moles NH3 per sec * molar mass NH3 = 24.34 moles NH3 per sec * 17.031 g/mol = 414.5 g NH3 per sec
rate in Kg/sec = 414.5 g NH3 per sec * (1kg /1000g) = 0.4145 Kg/sec
= 0.41kg/sec
Whenever I have tests like these, I make a quizlet with each part zoomed in and then answer it that way.
