A.) half - life of a radioactive substance is defined as the time during which concentration of the substance becomes half the initial value.
Answer:
44 g oxygen are needed.
Explanation:
Given data:
Mass of oxygen needed = ?
Mass of ammonia = 18.2 g
Solution:
Chemical equation:
4NH₃ + 5O₂ → 4NO + 6H₂O
Now we will calculate the number of moles of ammonia:
Number of moles = mass/molar mass
Number of moles = 18.2 g/ 17 g/mol
Number of moles = 1.1 mol
Now we will compare the moles of ammonia with oxygen from balance chemical equation.
NH₃ : O₂
4 : 5
1.1 : 5/4×1.1 = 1.375 mol
Mass of oxygen needed:
Mass = number of moles × molar mass
Mass = 1.375 mol × 32 g/mol
Mass = 44 g
Answer : The volume of oxygen at STP is 112.0665 L
Solution : Given,
The number of moles of
= 5 moles
At STP, the temperature is 273 K and pressure is 1 atm.
Using ideal gas law equation :

where,
P = pressure of gas
V = volume of gas
n = the number of moles
T = temperature of gas
R = gas constant = 0.0821 L atm/mole K (Given)
By rearranging the above ideal gas law equation, we get

Now put all the given values in this expression, we get the value of volume.

Therefore, the volume of oxygen at STP is 112.0665 L
