Answer:

The correct answer is - A. Ethanol reduces air pollution.

Explanation:

Ethanol is believed to be better fuel for the environment than other petroleum fuels. Ethanol emits lower carbon dioxide as it is clean smokeless fuel, and produces less or the same oxides of nitrogen and hydrocarbons.

It is produced by the process of fermentation of molasses by yeast. Mixing it with the other fuels is found to be CO2 reduces by 30% of emissions to the atmosphere.

7. NH2CO2NH4(s) when heated to 450 K undergoes the following reaction to produce a system which reaches equilibrium: NH2CO2NH4(s

Taya2010 [7]

Answer:

Value of equilibrium constant is 0.0888

Explanation:

Both $NH_{3}$ and $CO_{2}$ are gaseous. Hence equilibrium constant depends upon partial pressures of $NH_{3}$ and $CO_{2}$ .

Initially no $NH_{3}$ and $CO_{2}$ were present.

Hence mole fraction of $NH_{3}$ and $CO_{2}$ at equilibrium can be calculated from coefficient of $NH_{3}$ and $CO_{2}$ in balanced equation.

Mole fraction of $NH_{3}$ = (number of moles of $NH_{3}$ )/(total number of moles of $NH_{3}$ and $CO_{2}$ ) = $\frac{2moles}{(2+1)moles}=\frac{2}{3}$

Mole fraction of $CO_{2}$ = (number of moles of $CO_{2}$ )/(total number of moles of $NH_{3}$ and $CO_{2}$ ) = $\frac{1moles}{(2+1)moles}=\frac{1}{3}$

Let's assume both $CO_{2}$ and $NH_{3}$ behaves ideally.

Therefore partial pressure of $NH_{3}$ , $P_{NH_{3}}= x_{NH_{3}}.P_{total}$ and P_{CO_{2}}= x_{CO_{2}}.P_{total}

Where x represents mole fraction

So, $P_{NH_{3}}=\frac{2}{3}\times 0.843atm=0.562atm$

$P_{CO_{2}}=\frac{1}{3}\times 0.843atm=0.281atm$

So, $K_{p}=P_{NH_{3}}^{2}.P_{CO_{2}}=(0.562)^{2}\times 0.281=0.0888$

What is the volume of 14.0g of nitrogen gas at STP?

lozanna [386]

Answer:

The volume of 14.0 g of nitrogen gas at STP is 11.2 liter.

Explanation:

STP stands for standard pressure and temperature.

The International Institute of of Pure and Applied Chemistry, IUPAC changed the definition of standard temperature and pressure (STP) in 1982:

Before the change, STP was defined as a temperature of 273.15 K and an absolute pressure of exactly 1 atm (101.325 kPa).

After the change, STP is defined as a temperature of 273.15 K and an absolute pressure of exactly 105 Pa (100 kPa, 1 bar).

Using the ideal gas equation of state, PV = nRT you can calculate the volume of one mole (n = 1) of gas. With the former definition, the volume of a mol of gas at STP, rounded to 3 significant figures, was 22.4 liter. This is classical well known result.

With the later definition, the volume of a mol of gas at STP is 22.7 liter.

I will use the traditional measure of 22.4 liter per mole of gas.

1) Convert 14.0 g of nitrogen gas to number of moles:

n = mass in grams / molar mass

Atomic mass of nitrogen: 14.0 g/mol

Nitrogen gas is a diatomic molecule, so the molar mass of nitrogen gas = molar mass of N₂ = 14.0 × 2 g/mol = 28.0 g/mol

n = 14.0 g / 28.0 g/mol = 0.500 mol

2) Set a proportion to calculate the volume of nitrogen gas:

22.4 liter / mol = x / 0.500 mol

Solve for x: x = 0.500 mol × 22.4 liter / mol = 11.2 liter.

Conclusion: the volume of 14.0 g of nitrogen gas at STP is 11.2 liter.
