Answer:

Some of the product is a gas that goes to the atmosphere.

Explanation:

Based on the chemical reaction of baking soda (Sodium bicarbonate: NaHCO₃) with vinegar (Acetic acid: CH₃COOH):

NaHCO₃(aq) + CH₃COOH(aq) → H₂O(aq) +  CO₂(g) + CH₃COONa(aq)

When the reaction occurs, one of the products (CO₂) is a gas that will disappear of the mixture to stay in the atmosphere. That is the reason why there are missing 3 grams.

Ammonia and oxygen react to form nitrogen monoxide and water, like this:
olchik [2.2K]

4NH3+5O2 <=>4NO + 6H2O

Using the definition of Kp, we have
Kp=(Pno^4*Ph2o^6)/(Pnh3^4*Po2^5)
where Pno=partial pressure of NO, etc.

The numerical value for a given temperature can be evaluated when the actual partial pressures are known.
