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

What is the molality of a solution containing 10.0 G of NA2 S04 and 1000.0 G of water
galina1969 [7]

Explanation:

1 literThe total of water is equal to 1000.0 g of water

we need to find the molality of a solution containing 10.0 g of dissolved in  Na₂S0₄1000.0 g of water

1. For that find the molar mass

Na:  2 x 22.99= 45.98

S:  32.07

O:  4 x 16= 64

The total molar mass is 142.05

We have to find the number of moles, y

To find the number of moles divide 10.0g by 142.05 g/mol.

So the number of moles is 0.0704 moles.

For the molarity, you need the number of moles divided by the volume. So, 0.0704 mol/1 L.

The molarity would end up being 0.0704 M

The molality of a solution containing 10.0 g of Na2SO4 dissolved in 1000.0 g of water is  0.0704 Mliter

Explain, in terms of element classification, why KBr is an ionic compound
enot [183]
LBr is ionic compound because k for potassium is metal which means it’s on the left side of the periodic table and Br which is bromine is a non metal which means is on the right side of the periodic table.

In Conclusion when a non metal and metal come together the are called ionic compound

1. Some athletes have as little as 3.0% body fat. If such a person has a body mass of 65 kg, how many pounds of body fat does th
77julia77 [94]
1. 3.0% ----> 3.0 kg fat= 100 kg body weigh
also remember that 1 kg= 2.20 lbs

65 kg  \frac{3.0 kg}{100 kg} x  \frac{2.20 lb}{1 kg} = 4.29 lbs

2. 0.94 g/mL----> 0.94 grams= 1 mL
1 Liters= 1000 mL
1kg= 1000 grams

3 Liters  \frac{1000 mL}{1 L} x   \frac{0.94 grams}{1 mL} x  \frac{1 kg}{1000 g} x   \frac{2.20 lbs}{1 kg}  = 6.20 lbs
