How many grams of O2 are needed to completely react with 2 moles of N2 ? Enter your answer as a number (do not enter the units o
soldi70 [24.7K]

Answer:

64

Explanation:

Nitrogen combines directly with oxygen at very high temperatures to form nitrogen(ii) oxide. This is the reaction that occurs during lightning flashes. Atmospheric nitrogen and oxygen combines during the high temperatures obtained in lightning flashes to form nitrogen (ii) oxide.

Equation of the reaction is given below:

N(g) + O(g) ---> 2NO(g)

From the equation of the reaction, 1 mole of nitrogen gas combines with one mole of oxygen gas to produce 2 moles of nitrogen (ii) oxide.

Therefore, 2 moles of oxygen gas will react with 2 moles of nitrogen gas

Mass of oxygen gas that is 2 moles of the gas is obtained from the formula; mass = number of moles * molar mass

Molar mass of oxygen gas = 32.0 g/mol

Mass of 2 moles of oxygen gas = 2 * 32.0 = 56 g

Therefore, the mass of oxygen required in grams is 64

Which of the following materials is not part of every chemical reaction?
Sladkaya [172]

Answer:

The correct answer is C. gases.

Chemical reaction is the process by which one or more substances are converted into different substance or substances.

The substances which undergo chemical reaction are called as reactants while the substances which are produced by the reaction are called as products. During chemical reaction, chemical bonds of substrates undergo breaking and formation process to form an entire new product which may have same or different physical and chemical properties as compared to substrates.

Energy is either used or released during the chemical reaction. When the energy is used, it is termed as endothermic reaction but when the energy is produced by the reaction, it is termed as exothermic reaction.

Lastly, gases may or may not participate in a chemical reaction.

What two characteristics do fungi lack that forced them to become decomposers?? Please help :) **25 points**
Tamiku [17]
Fungi lacks the ability to produce their own food because they do not have chloroplast which is needed to obtain energy from the sun and convert it into food. Also fungi lack ability to fix nitrogen which has to be incorporated into their food. They also can not fix carbon and utilize it to produce food. Because of these they have to depend on dead organic matters for food.
