Answer:

First confirm the reaction is balanced:

C3H8 + 5O2 --> 3CO2 + 4H20 (3 cabon - check; 8 hydrogen - check; 10 oxygen - check).

a) In the equation there is a 5:1 ratio between propane and oxygen. We also know that number of mole is proportional to pressure and volume. Since pressure is constant (STP) then the volume of O2 is 7.2 * 5 = 36 litres.

b) For a near ideal gas that PV = nRT (combined gas law). So for 7.2 litres propane we find n(propane) = 101.3 * 7.2/8.314*298 ~ 0.29 mole (using metric units throughout for simplicity).

There is a 1:3 ratio between propane and CO2. Therefore 3 * 0.29 = 0.87 mole of CO2 is produced.

MW(CO2) ~ 44 g/mol. Therefore m(CO2) = 44 * 0.87 ~ 38.3 g

c) We know we need more oxygen than propane (due to the 1:5 ratio) so oxygen is the limiting reagent. Again Volume is proportional to number of mole and we see there is a 5:4 ratio between oxygen and water. Therefore the volume of water vapour produced will be (4/5) * 15 = 12 litres.

The other questions use the same technique and will give you some much needed practice.

This equation is balanced: N2+H2 -NH3 A. True B. False

Makovka662 [10]

The equation N2+H2= NH3 is balanced. This is because N2 + 3H^2 ➡️ 2NH^3

Answer:

Keep temperature constant and increase the pressure of the reaction. The rate of reaction increases.

Explanation:

First of all, the question is asking us to design an experiment to investigate the effect of pressure on the rate of reaction hence the pressure can not be held constant since it is the variable under investigation. This eliminates the first option.

Secondly, increasing the pressure of the reaction means that particles of the gas collide more frequently leading to a greater number of effective collisions and a consequent increase in the rate of reaction according to the collision theory.

Hence the answer above.
