One of the intermediates in the synthesis of glycine from ammonia, carbon dioxide, and methane is aminoacetonitrile, C2H4N2. The

balanced chemical equation is as follows:
3CH4 (g) + 5CO2 (g) + 8NH3 (g) → 4C2H4N2 (g) + 10H2O (g)
How much C2H4N2 could be expected from the reaction of 13.5 grams of CO2, 2.21 grams of NH3, and 1.65 grams of CH4?

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

Answer:

Nuclear fusion is a reaction in which two or more atomic nuclei are combined to form one or more different atomic nuclei and subatomic particles. The difference in mass between the reactants and products is manifested as either the release or the absorption of energy. 

Explanation: Read this and you might be able to figure it out for yourself ☺️☺️☺️

Which electrophiles can react with an enol?
dlinn [17]

THE MOLECULE HAS A C=C AND AN -OH GROUP, SO IT IS CALLED AN ENE/OL, I.E., AN ENOL. ENOLS CAN BE FORMED ONLY FROM CARBONYL COMPOUNDS WHICH HAVE ALPHA HYDROGENS. THEY CAN BE FORMED BY ACID OR BASE CATALYSIS, AND ONCE FORMED ARE HIGHLY REACTIVE TOWARD ELECTROPHILES, LIKE BROMINE.

Why are cells the building blocks of an organism.​
ladessa [460]

Answer:A cell is the smallest unit of life, also called the 'building blocks of life' because cells multiply and differentiate to form a multicellular organism as well as give rise to new organism by forming gametes or reproductive spores.
