Nitrous oxide (N2O) is used as an anesthetic (laughing gas) and in aerosol cans to produce whipped cream. It is also a potent gr

eenhouse gas. The decomposition of N2O is first order. It decomposes slowly to N2 and O2:
2 N2O(g) --> 2 N2(g) + O2(g)

Answer:

five half lives

Explanation:

Half-life is the time required for a quantity to reduce to half of its initial value.

How many half lives it would take to reach 3.13% form 100% of it's initial concentration:

100% - 50% : First Half life

50% - 25%: Second Half life

25% - 12.5%: Third Half life

12.5% - 6.25%: Fourth Half life

6.25% - 3.125%: Fifth Half life

This means it would take five half lives to get to 3.125% (≈ 3.13%) of it's original concentration.

Can the ratio of hydrogen to oxygen change if a solute is dissolved in the water
coldgirl [10]

Answer:

Water molecules feature the combinations of hydrogen and oxygen atoms in a 2:1 ratio. Since they are present in a fixed ratio of mass, water molecules obey the law of constant proportions. Water is formed when two molecules of the diatomic hydrogen gas, combine with one molecule of the diatomic oxygen gas to produce two molecules of water

A person suffering from hyponatremia has a sodium ion concentration in the blood of 0.116 M and a total blood volume of 4.7 L .
klemol [59]

Explanation:

Normal moles of Na^{+} = volume × normal concentration

                              = 4.7 × 0.139 = 0.6533 mol

Moles of Na^{+} in hyponatremia blood = volume × hyponatremia concentration

                              = 4.7 × 0.116 = 0.5452 mol

Moles of NaCl to be added = moles of extra Na^{+} needed

                            = 0.6533 mol - 0.5452 mol = 0.1081 mol

Mass of NaCl = moles × molar mass of NaCl

                        = 0.1081 mol × 58.443

                        = 6.317g

                        = 6.32 g (approx)

Thus, we can conclude that mass of sodium chloride would need to be added to the blood is 6.32 g.

What is the volume of ammonia produced at 243 K at a pressure of 1.38 atm by the unbalanced reaction on the left if 5740 moles o
Neporo4naja [7]

Answer:

49671 L is the produced volume of ammonia

Explanation:

We think the reaction of ammonia 's production:

N₂(g) + 3H₂(g)  → 2NH₃ (g)

We have the moles of each reactant so let's determine the limiting reactant:

Ratio is 1:3. 1 mol of nitrogen reacts with 3 moles of H₂

Then, 1720 moles of N₂ will react with (1720 .3) /1 = 5160 moles of H₂

We have 5740 moles of hydrogen, so we have enough hydrogen. This is the excess reagent, so the limiting is the N₂

1 mol of N₂ can produce 2 moles of ammonia

Therefore 1720 moles of N₂ will produce (1720 . 2) /1 = 3440 moles of NH₃

We apply now, the Ideal Gases Law → P . V = n . R .T

V = (n . R . T) /P → V = (3440 mol . 0.082 L.atm/mol.K . 243K) / 1.38 atm

V = 49671 L

We confirm that the nitrogen was the limiting reactant

3 moles of H₂ need 1 mol of nitrogen to react

Therefore, 5740 moles of H₂ will react with (5740 . 1) /3 = 1913 moles of N₂

It was ok to say, that N₂ was the limiting reactant because we need 1913 moles in the reaction, and we only have 1720 moles
