<u>Answer:</u> The reaction proceeds in the backward direction.

<u>Explanation:</u>

A buffer is a solution that maintains the pH of the solution and resists any significant changes of pH on the addition of acid or alkali.

A buffer solution of NH_4Cl\text{ and }NH_3 is prepared. It is a basic buffer as it is formed by the combination of a weak base (NH_3) and its conjugate acid (NH_4Cl)

When a strong base (NaOH) is added to this buffer solution, the ammonium ions releases hydrogen ion to the solution which then combines with the hydroxide ions to form water and ammonia in a solution. Thus, maintaining the pH of the buffer.

The given chemical equation follows:

NH_3(aq)+H_2O(l)\rightleftharpoons NH_4^+(aq)+OH^-(aq)

Hence, the reaction will proceed in the backward direction.

Darin skateboarded to the north at 4 m/s. In 5 seconds, he sped up to 7 m/s. What was his acceleration?
Julli [10]
To solve this problem we can use following equation.

v =u + at

Where v is the final velocity (m/s), u is the initial velocity (m/s), a is the acceleration (m/s²) and t is the time taken (s).

v = 7 m/s
u = 4 m/s
a = ?
t = 5 s

By applying the equation, we can get
    7 m/s = 4 m/s + a x 5 s
    3 m/s = a x 5 s
          a = 0.6 m/s²

Hence, the acceleration is 0.6 m/s² towards north.

Answer is "C".

Answer:

Mass of C₂H₄N₂ produced = 3.64 g

Explanation:

The balanced chemical equation for the reaction is given below:

3CH₄ (g) + 5CO₂ (g) + 8NH₃ (g) → 4C₂H₄N₂ (g) + 10H₂O (g)

From the equation, 3 moles of CH₄ reacts with 5 moles of CO₂ and 8 moles of NH₃ to produce 4 moles of C₂H₄N₂ and 10 moles of H₂O

Molar masses of the compounds are given below below:

CH₄ = 16 g/mol; CO₂ = 44 g/mol; NH3 = 17 g/mol; C₂H₄N₂ = 56 g/mol; H₂O g/mol

Comparing the mole ratios of the reacting masses;

CH₄ = 1.65/16 = 0.103

CO₂ = 13.5/44 = 0.307

NH₃ = 2.21/17 = 0.130

converting to whole number ratios by dividing with the smallest ratio

CH₄ = 0.103/0.103 = 1

CO₂ = 0.307/0.103 = 3

NH₃ = 0.130/0.103 = 1.3

Multiplying through with 5

CH₄ = 1 × 5 = 5

CO₂ = 3 × 5 = 15

NH₃ = 1.3 × 5 = 6.5

Therefore, the limiting reactant is NH₃

8 × 17 g (136 g) of NH₃ reacts to produce 4 × 56 g (224 g) of C₂H₄N₂

Therefore, 2.21 g of NH₃ will produce (2.21 × 224)/136 g of C₂H₄N₂ = 3.64 g of C₂H₄N₂

Mass of C₂H₄N₂ produced = 3.64 g
