4 NH₃ + 3O₂ --> 2N₂ + 6H₂O
First, make sure that this is a balanced equation.
There are 4 moles of nitrogen on the left side, and 4 moles of nitrogen on the right side.
There are 12 moles of hydrogen on the left side, and 12 moles of hydrogen on the right side.
There are 6 moles of oxygen on the left side, and 6 moles of oxygen on the right side.
The equation is therefore balanced, and we may proceed.
a) the mole ratio for NH₃ to N₂ is 4 to 2, which can be simplified to 2:1 or 2/1.
b) the mole ratio for H₂O to O₂ is 6 to 3, which can be simplified to 2:1 or 2/1.
First, we use avogadro's number to convert atoms into moles. Then, relate the number of moles from elemental to the compound. Lastly, we use conditions at STP to calculate the volume. We do as follows:
<span>9.86 x 10²⁸ O-atoms ( 1 mol / 6.022x10^23 atoms O) ( 1 mol N2O2 / 2 mol O ) ( 22.4 L / 1 mol ) = 1833809.37 L needed</span>
Answer: option D. the ability of a base to react with a soluble metal salt.
Justification:
NaOH is a strong base, which means that in water it will dissociate according to this reaction:
- NaOH(aq) → Na⁺ (aq) + OH⁻ (aq)
On the other hand, CuSO₄ is a soluble ionic salt which in water will dissociate into its ions according to this other reaction:
Hence, in solution, the sodium ion (Na⁺) will react with the metal salt in a double replacement reaction, where the highly reactive sodium ion (Na⁺) will substitute the Cu²⁺ in the CuSO₄ to form the sodium sulfate salt, Na₂SO₄ (water soluble), and the copper(II) hydroxide, Cu(OH)₂ (insoluble).
That is what the given reaction represents:
CuSO₄ (aq) + 2NaOH(aq) → Cu(OH)₂(s) + Na₂SO₄(aq)
