In the 1860's the Central Pacific Railroad company employed the chemist James Howden to make an explosive capable of blasting th

rough the granite mountains of the Sierras. The railroad needed tunnels for their train to pass through. James Howden built a nitroglycerin producing lab on Donner Pass where he would make the explosive compound on command. Nitroglycerin has the chemical formula C3H5N3O9. When it is detonated, it decomposes into carbon dioxide, water, oxygen and nitrogen. What is the theoretical yield for moles of nitrogen gas produced upon detonation of 1.320 tons of nitroglycerin? There are 907185 grams in 1 ton and nitroglycerin has a molar mass of 227 g/mol. Do not include decimals in your answer.

Answer:

8 × 10³ mol N₂

Explanation:

Step 1: Write the balanced equation

2 C₃H₅N₃O₉ ⇒ 6 CO₂ + 5 H₂O + 0.5 O₂ + 3 N₂

Step 2: Convert the mass of C₃H₅N₃O₉ from tons to grams

We will use the conversion factor 1 t = 907185 g.

1.320 t × 907185 g/1 t = 1.197 × 10⁶ g

Step 3: Calculate the moles corresponding to 1.197 × 10⁶ g of C₃H₅N₃O₉

The molar mass of C₃H₅N₃O₉ is 227 g/mol.

1.197 × 10⁶ g × 1 mol/227 g = 5.27 × 10³ mol

Step 4: Calculate the moles of N₂ formed from 5.27 × 10³ moles of C₃H₅N₃O₉

The molar ratio of C₃H₅N₃O₉ to N₂ is 2:3.

5.27 × 10³ mol C₃H₅N₃O₉ × 3 mol N₂/2 mol C₃H₅N₃O₉ = 7.91 × 10³ mol N₂ ≈ 8 × 10³ mol N₂

Amoxicillin Suspension 125 mg/ 5 ml is 125 mg of Amoxicillin per 5 ml of suspension is an example of weight to ________.
kkurt [141]

Answer : Amoxicillin Suspension 125 mg/ 5 ml is 125 mg of Amoxicillin per 5 ml of suspension is an example of weight to volume.

Explanation :

Weight by volume (w/v) means that the mass of solute present in 100 mL volume of solution.

Weight by weight (w/w) means that the mass of solute present in 100 gram of solution.

Volume by volume (v/v) means that the volume of solute present in 100 mL volume of solution.

As per question, amoxicillin suspension is, 125 mg/ 5 ml that means 125 mg of Amoxicillin present in 5 mL of suspension. So, it is an example of weight to volume.

Hence, it is an example of weight to volume.

In a 1.0-liter container there are, at equilibrium, 0.10 mole h2, 0.20 mole n2, and 0.40 mole nh3. what is the value of kc for t
bogdanovich [222]
The reaction involved here would be written as:

2N2 + 3H2 = 2NH3

The equilibrium constant of a reaction is the ratio of the concentrations of the products and the reactants when in equilibrium. The expression for the equilibrium constant of this reaction would be as follows:

Kc = [NH3]^2 / [N2]^2[H2]^3
Kc = 0.40^2 / (0.20)^2 (0.10)^3 
Kc = 4000

40 g of CaCO3 is how many moles of CaCO3?<br> 10 moles<br> 0.4 moles<br> 40 moles<br> 100 moles
AleksandrR [38]

Answer:

0.4 moles

Explanation:

To convert between moles and grams you need the molar mass of the compound. The molar mass of of CaCO3 is 100.09g/mol. You use that as the unit converter.

40gCaCO3* 1mol CaCO3/100.09gCaCO3 = 0.399640 mol CaCO3

This rounds to 0.4 moles CaCO3

Calculate the atomic mass for copper using the weighted average mass method. Express your answer using two decimal places and in
tatuchka [14]

Answer:

63. 55 amu

Explanation:

Copper is known to exist in two different isotopes which are Cu-63 and Cu-65.

Cu-63 has an atomic mass of 62.93 amu and it has an abundance of 69.15%.

Similarly,

Cu-65 has an atomic mass of 64.93 amu and it has an abundance of 30.85%

Therefore, using the weighted average mass method, the atomic mass of copper is:

Atomic mass of copper = (0.6915*62.93) amu + (0.3085*64.93) amu = 43.52 amu + 20.03 amu = 63.55 amu

Thus, the atomic mass of copper (express in two decimal places) is 63.55 amu
