Answer:

The Chemistry Explanation

Oil and water don't mix because water molecules are not attracted to oil molecules. When the Alka-Selzer tablet is dropped in the oil and water, it sinks to the bottom because it is more dense than oil and more dense than the water.

What is the potential energy of the reactants from the following energy diagram?

slavikrds [6]

The potential energy of the reactants is 200J.
From the energy diagram, the energy of the product formed is 350J; this means that, this reaction is an endothermic reaction, because it absorbs energy from its environment.

One success of Johann Döbereiner's law of triads was that it organized most of the known elements into three-element groups base

jenyasd209 [6]

That statement is true

it was easy to organize 'all' the elements in a group of threes because back then they only knew about 15 - 20 elements

1. Unas de las formas de producir nitrógeno gaseoso (N2) es mediante la oxidación de metilamina (CH3NH2), tal como se muestra en

Maslowich

Answer:

a) 4CH₃NH₂ + 9O₂ ⇄ 4CO₂ + 10H₂O + 2N₂

b) m = 5,043 g

c) % = 69,4 %

Explanation:

a) La ecuación balanceada es la siguiente:

4CH₃NH₂ + 9O₂ ⇄ 4CO₂ + 10H₂O + 2N₂

En el balanceo, se tiene en la relación estequiométrica que 4 moles de metilamina reacciona con 9 moles de oxígeno para producir 4 moles de dióxido de carbono, 10 moles de agua y 2 moles de nitrógeno.

b) Para determinar la masa de nitrógeno se debe calcular primero el reactivo limitante:

$n_{O_{2}} = \frac{m}{M} = \frac{25,6 g}{31,99 g/mol} = 0,800 moles$

$n_{CH_{3}NH_{2}} = \frac{4}{9}*0,800 moles = 0,356 moles$

De la ecuación anterior se tiene que la cantidad de moles de metilamina necesaria para reaccionar con 0,800 moles de oxígeno es 0,356 moles, y la cantidad de moles iniciales de metilamina es 0,5 moles, por lo tanto el reactivo limitante es el oxígeno.

Ahora, podemos calcular la masa de nitrógeno producida:

$n_{N_{2}} = \frac{2}{9}*n_{O_{2}} = \frac{2}{9}*0,8 moles = 0,18 moles$
