Answer:

Fractional distillation

Explanation:

The process of separating petroleum products into its fractions is called fractional distillation.

Fractional distillation is a method of separating a mixture of substances based on the differences in their boiling points.

Petroleum is a mixture of hydrocarbons separated in a large fractionation tower having many trays maintained at different temperatures.

As the vapor containing the petroleum mixture ascends the fractionation tower, the mixture is separated at each tray to yield the various fractions of petroleum.

If 3.5 grams of NaN3 decomposed, how many grams of N2 would be produced?
Wewaii [24]

Answer:

5.25 moles.

Explanation:

The decomposition reaction of NaN₃ is as follows :

2NaN_3(s)\rightarrow 2Na(s)+3N_2(g)

We need to find how many grams of N₂ produced in the process.

From the above balanced chemical reaction, we conclude that the ratio of moles of sodium azide and nitrogen gas are 2 : 3.

2 moles of sodium azide decomposes to give 3 moles of nitrogen gas. So,

3.5 moles of sodium azide decomposes to give \dfrac{3}{2}\times 3.5=5.25 moles of nitrogen gas.

Hence, the number of moles produced is 5.25 moles.
