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

Is the electrochemical cell spontaneous or not spontaneous as written at 25 ∘C ? spontaneous not spontaneous Calculate the poten
givi [52]

Answer:

The cell potential is 0.609 V. Given E > 0 the electrochemical cell is spontaneous as written.

Explanation:

Let's consider the oxidation and reduction half-reactions and the global reaction.

Anode (oxidation): Sn²⁺(0.0023 M) ⇒ Sn⁴⁺(0.13 M) + 2 e⁻

Cathode (reduction): 2 Fe³⁺(0.11 M) + 2 e⁻ ⇒ 2 Fe²⁺(0.0037 M)

Global reaction: Sn²⁺(0.0023 M) + 2 Fe³⁺(0.11 M) ⇒ Sn⁴⁺(0.13 M) + 2 Fe²⁺(0.0037 M)

The standard cell potential (E°) is the difference between the standard reduction potential of the cathode and the standard reduction potential of the anode.

E° = E°red,cat - E°red,an

E° = 0.771 V - 0.154 V = 0.617 V

The Nernst equation allows us to calculate the cell potential (E) under the given conditions.

E=E\° -\frac{0.05916}{n} logQ\\E=E\° -\frac{0.05916}{n} log\frac{[Sn^{+4}].[Fe^{2+}]}{[Sn^{2+}].[Fe^{3+} ]} \\E=0.617V-\frac{0.05916}{2} log\frac{(0.13).(0.0037)}{(0.0023).(0.11)} \\E=0.609V

The cell potential is 0.609 V. Given E > 0 the electrochemical cell is spontaneous as written.

RUDIKE [14]

We are using vinegar ( a polar compound) and oil (non polar compound) in the making of mayonnaise. The two will form emulsion when mixed together and will be separated as two distinct layers

Here chef uses egg to hold or homogenize the two immiscible substances together.

Thus egg is stabilizing the colloid formed between vinegar and oil.

What combination of substances will give a buffered solution that has a pH of 5.05? (Assume each pair of substances is dissolved
lilavasa [31]

Answer:

C

Explanation:

When the Kb is given, the Henderson-Hasselbalch equation can be used to calculate the pOH of a buffer solution:

pOH = pKb + log ([A⁻] / [HA]) = -log(Kb) + log ([BH+] / [B])

Here, moles can be used in place of the concentration since the pairs listed are both dissolved in 5L, which cancel due to the fraction in the logarithm.

a) pOH = -log(1.8 x 10⁻⁵) + log(1.5/1.0) = 4.92

pH = 14 - pOH = 14 - 4.92 = 9.08

b) pOH = -log(1.8 x 10⁻⁵) + log(1.0/1.5) = 4.57

pH = 14 - pOH = 14 - 4.57 = 9.43

c) pOH = -log(1.7 x 10⁻⁹) + log(1.5/1.0) =  8.95

pH = 14 - pOH = 14 - 8.95 = 5.05

d) pOH = -log(1.7 x 10⁻⁹) + log(1.0/1.5) =  8.59

pH = 14 - pOH = 14 -  = 5.41
