I believe the answer is D.
Scientists are biased, and want to prove their specific hypothesis is right.
Full Question:
Ammonia chemically reacts with oxygen gas to produce nitric oxide and water. What mass of water is produced by the reaction of 7.7g of ammonia?
Be sure your answer has the correct number of significant digits.
Answer:
12.23g ≈ 12g (2 s.f)
Explanation:
Ammonia chemically reacts with oxygen gas to produce nitric oxide and water. The balanced chemical reaction is given as:
4 NH3 + 5 O2 -------> 4 NO + 6 H2O
From the reaction;
4 mole of ammonia reacts to produce 6 moles of water
From the question;
Moles = mass / molar mass
From the question;
moles of ammonia = mass / molar mass = 7.7 / 17 = 0.4529moles
Number of moles of water produced;
4 = 6
0.4529 = x
x = (0.4529 * 6 ) / 4
x = 0.67935moles
Mass of water = moles * molar mass = 0.67935 * 18 = 12.23g ≈ 12g (2 s.f)
Hey there!
A mole is measured in atoms, molecules, particles. It's kind of a loose sort of measurement, just unit of the substance.
Since there is a ratio of 1 to 1 nitrogen to oxygen, there will be the same amount of molecules as atoms of nitrogen.
2.25 moles of NO gas are formed from 2.25 moles of nitrogen.
Hope this helps!
Answer: The standard enthalpy change for this reaction is -116 kJ
Explanation:
According to Hess’s law of constant heat summation, the heat absorbed or evolved in a given chemical equation is the same whether the process occurs in one step or several steps.
According to this law, the chemical equation can be treated as ordinary algebraic expression and can be added or subtracted to yield the required equation. That means the enthalpy change of the overall reaction is the sum of the enthalpy changes of the intermediate reactions.
The given chemical reaction is,


Now we have to determine the value of
for the following reaction i.e,

According to the Hess’s law, if we reverse the reaction then the
will change its sign and if we half the reaction, then the
So, the value
for the reaction will be:

Hence, the standard enthalpy change for this reaction is -116 kJ
