Which statement describes an important role of carbon dioxide in Earth’s atmosphere? *

How would the electron configuration of nitrogen change to make a stable configuration?

lesantik [10]

Answer: The electronic configuration of nitrogen is 1s2 2s2 2p3. Thus nitrogen has a half-filled p orbital, which is comparatively more stable. Thus the p orbital is the outermost orbital. To achieve a stable gas configuration, nitrogen needs to have a fulfilled p orbital.

When nitrogen dioxide (NO2) from car exhaust combines with water in the air, it forms nitric acid (HNO3), which causes acid rain

yKpoI14uk [10]

Answer:

For a: The number of molecules of nitrogen dioxide is $4.52\times 10^{23}$

For b: The mass of nitric acid formed is 54.81 grams

For c: The mass of nitric acid formed is 206 grams

Explanation:

The given chemical reaction follows:

$3NO_2(g)+H_2O(l)\rightarrow 2HNO_3(aq.)+NO(g)$

For a:

By Stoichiometry of the reaction:

1 mole of water reacts with 3 moles of nitrogen dioxide

So, 0.250 moles of water will react with $\frac{3}{1}\times 0.250=0.75mol$ of nitrogen dioxide

According to mole concept:

1 mole of a compound contains $6.022\times 10^{23}$ number of molecules.

So, 0.75 moles of nitrogen dioxide will contain $0.75\times 6.022\times 10^{23}=4.52\times 10^{23}$ number of molecules

Hence, the number of molecules of nitrogen dioxide is $4.52\times 10^{23}$

For b:

To calculate the number of moles, we use the equation:

$\text{Number of moles}=\frac{\text{Given mass}}{\text{Molar mass}}$ .....(1)

Given mass of nitrogen dioxide = 60.0 g

Molar mass of nitrogen dioxide = 46 g/mol

Putting values in equation 1, we get:

$\text{Moles of nitrogen dioxide}=\frac{60.0g}{46g/mol}=1.304mol$

By Stoichiometry of the reaction:

3 moles of nitrogen dioxide produces 2 mole of nitric acid

So, 1.304 moles of nitrogen dioxide will produce = $\frac{2}{3}\times 1.304=0.870$ moles of nitric acid

Now, calculating the mass of nitric acid from equation 1, we get:

Molar mass of nitric acid = 63 g/mol

Moles of nitric acid = 0.870 moles

Putting values in equation 1, we get:

$0.870mol=\frac{\text{Mass of nitric acid}}{63g/mol}\\\\\text{Mass of nitric acid}=(0.870mol\times 63g/mol)=54.81g$

Hence, the mass of nitric acid formed is 54.81 grams

For c:

For nitrogen dioxide:

Given mass of nitrogen dioxide = 225 g

Molar mass of nitrogen dioxide = 46 g/mol

Putting values in equation 1, we get:

$\text{Moles of nitrogen dioxide}=\frac{225g}{46g/mol}=4.90mol$

For water:

Given mass of water = 55.2 g

Molar mass of water = 18 g/mol

Putting values in equation 1, we get:

$\text{Moles of water}=\frac{55.2g}{18g/mol}=3.06mol$

By Stoichiometry of the reaction:

3 moles of nitrogen dioxide reacts with 1 mole of water

So, 4.90 moles of nitrogen dioxide will react with = $\frac{1}{3}\times 4.90=1.63mol$ of water

As, given amount of water is more than the required amount. So, it is considered as an excess reagent.

Thus, nitrogen dioxide is considered as a limiting reagent because it limits the formation of product.

By Stoichiometry of the reaction:

3 mole of nitrogen dioxide produces 2 moles of nitric acid

So, 4.90 moles of nitrogen dioxide will produce $\frac{2}{3}\times 4.90=3.27mol$ of nitric acid

Now, calculating the mass of nitric acid from equation 1, we get:

Molar mass of nitric acid = 63 g/mol

Moles of nitric acid = 3.27 moles

Putting values in equation 1, we get:

$3.27mol=\frac{\text{Mass of nitric acid}}{63g/mol}\\\\\text{Mass of nitric acid}=(3.27mol\times 63g/mol)=206g$

Hence, the mass of nitric acid formed is 206 grams

Predict whether the changes in enthalpy, entropy, and free energy will be positive or negative for the boiling of water, and exp

Sedbober [7]

Answer:

ΔH > 0; ΔS >0; ΔG = 0

Not spontaneous when T < 100 °C;

Equilibrium when T = 100 °C

Spontaneous when T > 100 °C

Step-by-step explanation:

The process is

H₂O(ℓ) ⇌ H₂O(g)

ΔH > 0 (positive), because we must add heat to boil water

ΔS > 0 (positive), because changing from a liquid to a gas increases the disorder

ΔG = 0, because the liquid-vapour equilibrium process is at equilibrium at 100 °C

ΔG = ΔH – TΔS

Both ΔH and ΔS are positive.

If T = 100 °C, ΔG =0. ΔH = TΔS, and the system is at equilibrium.

If T < 100 °C, the ΔH term will predominate, because T has decreased below the equilibrium value.

ΔG > 0. The process is not spontaneous below 100 °C.

If T > 100 °C, the TΔS term will predominate, because T has increased above the equilibrium value.

ΔG < 0. The process is spontaneous above 100 °C.

Is carbon dioxide a reactant

Harman [31]

Answer: No

Explanation: Reactants are the substances present at the beginning of a chemical reaction. In the burning of natural gas, for example, methane (CH4) and oxygen (O2) are the reactants in the chemical reaction. Products are the substances formed by a chemical reaction. In the burning of natural gas, carbon dioxide (CO2) and water (H2O) are the products formed by the reaction.
