Write a chemical equation of Dr. Jeff’s demonstration using a battery to light steel wool on fire. The battery is used to allow

a current to travel through the steel wool, thus heating it up. Steel wool is made from iron (Fe).

Answer:

2Fe(s) + 3O2(g) --------> 2FeO3(s)

Explanation:

According to the question, a  battery was used  to light the steel wool by bringing the terminals very close together. When  the battery came into contact with the steel wool, current was sent out through the thin wire.  This caused the iron to heat up quite well.

Iron reacts with oxygen under these conditions as follows;

2Fe(s) + 3O2(g) --------> 2FeO3(s)

This is the chemical reaction that occurs when the steel wool is set on fire.

Solve the ideal gas law equation for pressure.
posledela

Answer:

p=\frac{nRT}{V}

Explanation:

The ideal gas law equation is an equation that relates some of the quantities that describe a gas: pressure, volume and temperature.

The equation is:

pV=nRT

where

p is the pressure of the gas

V is the volume of the gas

n is the number of moles of the gas

R is the gas constant

T is the absolute temperature of the gas (must be expressed in Kelvin)

Here we want to solve the equation isolating p, the pressure of the gas.

We can do that simply by dividing both terms by the volume, V. We find:

p=\frac{nRT}{V}

So, we see that:

- The pressure is directly proportional to the temperature of the gas

- The pressure is inversely proportional to the volume of the gas

The depletion of ozone (O3) in the stratosphere has been a matter of great concern among scientists in recent years. It is belie
Deffense [45]

<u>Answer:</u> Nitric oxide is the limiting reagent. The number of moles of excess reagent left is 0.0039 moles. The amount of nitrogen dioxide produced will be 0.7912 g.

<u>Explanation:</u>

To calculate the number of moles, we use the equation

\text{Number of moles}=\frac{\text{Given mass}}{\text{Molar mass}}   ....(1)

  • <u>For ozone:</u>

Given mass of ozone = 0.827 g

Molar mass of ozone = 48 g/mol

Putting values in above equation, we get:

\text{Moles of ozone}=\frac{0.827g}{48g/mol}=0.0172mol

  • <u>For nitric oxide:</u>

Given mass of nitric oxide = 0.635 g

Molar mass of nitric oxide = 30.01 g/mol

Putting values in above equation, we get:

\text{Moles of nitric oxide}=\frac{0.635g}{30.01g/mol}=0.0211mol

For the given chemical equation:

O_3+NO\rightarrow O_2+NO_2

By Stoichiometry of the reaction:

1 mole of ozone reacts with 1 mole of nitric oxide.

So, 0.0172 moles of ozone will react with = \frac{1}{1}\times 0.0172=0.0172moles of nitric oxide

As, given amount of nitric oxide is more than the required amount. So, it is considered as an excess reagent.

Thus, ozone is considered as a limiting reagent because it limits the formation of product.

  • Amount of excess reagent (nitric oxide) left = 0.0211 - 0.0172 = 0.0039 moles

By Stoichiometry of the reaction:

1 mole of ozone produces 1 mole of nitrogen dioxide.

So, 0.0172 moles of ozone will react with = \frac{1}{1}\times 0.0172=0.0172moles of nitrogen dioxide

Now, calculating the mass of nitrogen dioxide from equation 1, we get:

Molar mass of nitrogen dioxide = 46 g/mol

Moles of nitrogen dioxide = 0.0172 moles

Putting values in equation 1, we get:

0.0172mol=\frac{\text{Mass of nitrogen dioxide}}{46g/mol}\\\\\text{Mass of nitrogen dioxide}=0.7912g

Hence, nitric oxide is the limiting reagent. The number of moles of excess reagent left is 0.0039 moles. The amount of nitrogen dioxide produced will be 0.7912 g.

The reaction of nitrogen dioxide with fluorine
andrew-mc [135]

Answer:

Rate = 0.001615 Ms-1

Explanation:

2 NO2 + F2 --> 2 NO2F

The reaction is first order with respect to NO2 and also first order with respect to F2.

The rate law is given as;

Rate = k [NO2] [ F2]

k = 1.58E-4 M-1s-1

[NO2] = 2.84 M

[F2] = 3.60 M

Rate = ?

Inserting the values into the equation, we have;

Rate = 1.58E-4 * 2.84 * 3.60

Rate = 0.001615 Ms-1
