A homogeneous mixture is a mixture in which the composition is uniform throughout the mixture.
A heterogeneous mixture is a mixture in which the composition is not uniform throughout the mixture.
If it is cooled the motion of the particles decreases as they lose energy.
Acetonitrile refers to the chemical compound exhibiting the formula CH₃CN. It is the basic organic nitrile and a colorless liquid. It is generated primarily as a byproduct of acrylonitrile production. It is used as a polar aprotic solvent in the purification of butadiene and in organic synthesis.
The addition of water to cyanides generates amines and acids. Acetonitrile produces ammonia and acetic acid.
CH₃CN (acetonitrile) → CH₃COOH (acetic acid) + NH₃ (ammonia)
Answer:
30.4 g. NH3
Explanation:
This problem tells us that the hydrogen (H2) is the limiting reactant, as there is "an excess of nitrogen." Using stoichiometry (the relationship between the various species of the equation), we can see that for every 3 moles of H2 consumed, 2 moles of NH3 are produced.
But before we can use that relationship to find the number of grams of ammonia produced, we need to convert the given grams of hydrogen into moles:
5.4 g x [1 mol H2/(1.008x2 g.)] = 2.67857 mol H2 (not using significant figures yet; want to be as accurate as possible)
Now, we can use the relationship between H2 and NH3.
2.67857 mol H2 x (2 mol NH3/3 mol H2) = 1.7857 mol NH3
Now, we have the number of moles of ammonia produced, but the answer asks us for grams. Use the molar mass of ammonia to convert.
1.7857 mol NH3 x 17.034 g. NH3/mol NH3 = 30.4 g. NH3 (used a default # of 3 sig figs)
