Answer:

154 g

Explanation:

Step 1: Write the balanced decomposition equation

2 NaN₃(s) ⇒ 2 Na(s) + 3 N₂(g)

Step 2: Calculate the moles corresponding to 79.5 L of N₂ at STP

At STP, 1 mole of N₂ occupies 22.4 L.

79.5 L × 1 mol/22.4 L = 3.55 mol

Step 3: Calculate the number of moles of NaN₃ needed to form 3.55 moles of N₂

The molar ratio of NaN₃ to N₂ is 2:3. The moles of NaN₃ needed are 2/3 × 3.55 mol = 2.37 mol.

Step 4: Calculate the mass corresponding to 2.37 moles of NaN₃

The molar mass of NaN₃ is 65.01 g/mol.

2.37 mol × 65.01 g/mol = 154 g

What is the formula of this<br> inorganic salt hydrate?
barxatty [35]

Salt hydrates are an important class of PCMs. An inorganic salt hydrate (hydrated salt or hydrate) is an ionic compound in which the ions attract a number of water molecules, which are then trapped inside the crystal lattice. A hydrated salt has the generic formula MxNy. nH2O.

dlinn [17]

<u>Answer:</u> The unbalanced chemical equation is written below.

<u>Explanation:</u>

Unbalanced chemical equation does not follow law of conservation of mass.

In an unbalanced chemical equation, total number of individual atoms on the reactant side will not be equal to the total number of individual atoms on the product side.

The chemical equation for the reaction of diboron trioxide and magnesium metal follows:

B_2O_3(s)+Mg(s)\rightarrow B(g)+MgO(s)

Hence, the unbalanced chemical equation is written above.

which of the following best helps explain why an increase in temperature increases the rate of a chemical reaction?
NeTakaya

The given question is incomplete. The complete question is as follows.

Which of the following best helps explain why an increase in temperature increases the rate of a chemical reaction?

(a)   at higher temperatures, high-energy collisions happen less frequently.

(b)  at low temperatures, low-energy collisions happen more frequently.

(c)   at higher temperatures, less-energy collisions happen less frequently.

(d)  at higher temperatures, high-energy collisions happen more frequently

Explanation:

When we increase the temperature of a chemical reaction then molecules of the reactant species tend to gain kinetic energy. As a result, they come into motion which leads to more number of collisions within the molecules.

Therefore, chemical reaction will take less amount of time in order to reach its end point. This means that there will occur an increase in rate of reaction.

Thus, we can conclude that the statement at higher temperatures, high-energy collisions happen more frequently, best explains why an increase in temperature increases the rate of a chemical reaction.

A sample of a gas at 25°C has a volume of 150 mL when its pressure is 0.947 atm. What will the temperature of the gas be at a pr
dezoksy [38]

Answer:

25°C

Explanation:

Combined Gas Law (P₁V₁)/T₁ = (P₂V₂)/T₂

(0.947 atm)(150 mL)/25°C = (0.987 atm)(144mL)/T₂

5.682 = 142.128/T₂

T₂ = 142.128/5.682

T₂ = 25.0137272756°C = 25°C
