The reform reaction between steam and gaseous methane ( ch4 ) produces "synthesis gas," a mixture of carbon monoxide gas and dih

ydrogen gas. synthesis gas is one of the most widely used industrial chemicals, and is the major industrial source of hydrogen. suppose a chemical engineer studying a new catalyst for the reform reaction finds that 159. liters per second of methane are consumed when the reaction is run at 294.°c and 0.86atm . calculate the rate at which dihydrogen is being produced. give your answer in kilograms per second. be sure your answer has the correct number of significant digits.

Answer is: rate of production of hydrogen is 0,01758 kg/s.
Chemical reaction: CH₄ + H₂O → CO + 3H₂.
V(CH₄) = 159 L.
p = 0,86 atm · 101,325 kPa/atm = 87,14 kPa.
T = 294°C = 567 K.
R = 8,314 J/K·mol.
Ideal gas law: p·V = n·R·T.
n(CH₄) = p·V  ÷ R·T.
n(CH₄) = 87,14 kPa · 159 L ÷ 8,314 J/K·mol · 567 K.
n(CH₄) = 2,93 mol.
From chemical reaction: n(CH₄) : n(H₂) = 1 : 3.
n(H₂) = 2,93 mol · 3 = 8,79 mol.
m(H₂) = 8,79 mol · 2 g/mol.
m(H₂) = 17,58 g · 0,001 kg/g = 0,01758 kg.

If the partial pressure of oxygen in a scuba air tank is 73.44 atm, the partial pressure of nitrogen is 128.52 atm, and the part
Ksenya-84 [330]
To answer this, we use Raoult's Law where the partial pressure is equal to the product of the fraction of the gas in the mixture and its total pressure. Also, we use Dalton's Law of Partial Pressure where the total pressure is equal to the sum of the partial pressure of the gases in the mixture.

Ptotal = 73.44 + 128.52 + 2.04 = 204 atm

201.96 = x (204)
x = 0.99

It is possible to make a buffer that functions well near pH 7 using citric acid, which contains only carboxylate groups.
irga5000 [103]

Answer:

Yes, it is.

Explanation:

A buffer is a solution in which a weak acid is in equilibrium with its conjugate base, or a weak base is in equilibrium with its conjugate acid. Because of the equilibrium, when an acid or a base is added to it, the pH remains almost unaltered.

But the buffer has a limit, generally, it works well in the range of pKa - 1 to pKa +1. The pKa value indicates the force of the acid, and it's calculated by -logKa, where Ka is the equilibrium constant of the acid. The pKa value of citric acid is 6.86, does a buffer of it can function well at pH 7.

The successive deprotonations of the acid increase the "-" charge density on the resulting anion, in this case, the carboxylate groups. This is unfavorable electrostatic repulsions between the anions which reduces the likelihood that a proton would dissociate. So, it's more favorable for the proton to remain bound to reduce unfavorable charge repulsion. Because of that, the equilibrium can be achieved.
