When nitrogen dioxide (NO2) from car exhaust combines with water in the air, it forms nitric acid (HNO3), which causes acid rain

, and nitrogen oxide; 3NO2(g)+H20(l)-->2HNO3(aq)+NO(g). a) How many molecules of NO2 are needed to react with 0.250 mol of H2O? b) How many grams of HNO3 are produced when 60.0 g of NO2 completly reacts? c) How many grams of HNO3 can be produced if 225 g of NO2 is mixed with 55.2 g of H2O?

<u>Answer:</u>

<u>For a:</u> The number of molecules of nitrogen dioxide is 4.52\times 10^{23}

<u>For b:</u> The mass of nitric acid formed is 54.81 grams

<u>For c:</u> The mass of nitric acid formed is 206 grams

<u>Explanation:</u>

The given chemical reaction follows:

3NO_2(g)+H_2O(l)\rightarrow 2HNO_3(aq.)+NO(g)

  • <u>For a:</u>

By Stoichiometry of the reaction:

1 mole of water reacts with 3 moles of nitrogen dioxide

So, 0.250 moles of water will react with \frac{3}{1}\times 0.250=0.75mol of nitrogen dioxide

According to mole concept:

1 mole of a compound contains 6.022\times 10^{23} number of molecules.

So, 0.75 moles of nitrogen dioxide will contain 0.75\times 6.022\times 10^{23}=4.52\times 10^{23} number of molecules

Hence, the number of molecules of nitrogen dioxide is 4.52\times 10^{23}

  • <u>For b:</u>

To calculate the number of moles, we use the equation:

\text{Number of moles}=\frac{\text{Given mass}}{\text{Molar mass}}     .....(1)

Given mass of nitrogen dioxide = 60.0 g

Molar mass of nitrogen dioxide = 46 g/mol

Putting values in equation 1, we get:

\text{Moles of nitrogen dioxide}=\frac{60.0g}{46g/mol}=1.304mol

By Stoichiometry of the reaction:

3 moles of nitrogen dioxide produces 2 mole of nitric acid

So, 1.304 moles of nitrogen dioxide will produce = \frac{2}{3}\times 1.304=0.870 moles of nitric acid

Now, calculating the mass of nitric acid from equation 1, we get:

Molar mass of nitric acid = 63 g/mol

Moles of nitric acid = 0.870 moles

Putting values in equation 1, we get:

0.870mol=\frac{\text{Mass of nitric acid}}{63g/mol}\\\\\text{Mass of nitric acid}=(0.870mol\times 63g/mol)=54.81g

Hence, the mass of nitric acid formed is 54.81 grams

  • <u>For c:</u>
  • <u>For nitrogen dioxide:</u>

Given mass of nitrogen dioxide = 225 g

Molar mass of nitrogen dioxide = 46 g/mol

Putting values in equation 1, we get:

\text{Moles of nitrogen dioxide}=\frac{225g}{46g/mol}=4.90mol

  • <u>For water:</u>

Given mass of water = 55.2 g

Molar mass of water = 18 g/mol

Putting values in equation 1, we get:

\text{Moles of water}=\frac{55.2g}{18g/mol}=3.06mol

By Stoichiometry of the reaction:

3 moles of nitrogen dioxide reacts with 1 mole of water

So, 4.90 moles of nitrogen dioxide will react with = \frac{1}{3}\times 4.90=1.63mol of water

As, given amount of water is more than the required amount. So, it is considered as an excess reagent.

Thus, nitrogen dioxide is considered as a limiting reagent because it limits the formation of product.

By Stoichiometry of the reaction:

3 mole of nitrogen dioxide produces 2 moles of nitric acid

So, 4.90 moles of nitrogen dioxide will produce \frac{2}{3}\times 4.90=3.27mol of nitric acid

Now, calculating the mass of nitric acid from equation 1, we get:

Molar mass of nitric acid = 63 g/mol

Moles of nitric acid = 3.27 moles

Putting values in equation 1, we get:

3.27mol=\frac{\text{Mass of nitric acid}}{63g/mol}\\\\\text{Mass of nitric acid}=(3.27mol\times 63g/mol)=206g

Hence, the mass of nitric acid formed is 206 grams

How many grams are in 0.787 moles of kcn
Eddi Din [679]

Answer:

=> moles = Given mass/molar mass

=> 0.787 = Given mass/(39 + 12 + 14)

=> 0.787 = Given mass/65

=> mass = 0.787 × 65

=> <u>mass = 51.155 g</u>

A child pushes a desk with a force of 15 N to the right. The desk accelerates to the right. Which of the following statements co
ratelena [41]

Answer:

The answer to your question is: number 1

Explanation:

Third law of Newton: says that for every action ,there is an equal and opposite reaction.

So, if the child is pushing an object to the right, it will recipe the same amount of force that he is exerting to the object but in opposite direction.

Number 2 and 3 are incorrect because, because the third law of Newton says "an equal and opposite reaction", not slightly more or less.

Number 4 is wrong, it is not in agreement with Newton's third law of motion.
