Answer:

mass of magnesium oxide is 4.2 grams.

Explanation:

Balanced equation: 2Mg + O2 → 2MgO.

Given that 2.5 g Mg reacts with 3.0 g O2

mass = moles * Mr
moles = mass/Mr
Mr = mass/moles

First find the moles of Mg:

moles = mass/Mr

moles = 2.5/ 24

moles = 0.104 moles

Using molar ratio, magnesium oxide will have same moles as Mg as they both have "2" molar ratio. So moles of Mg is 0.104 moles.

mass = moles * Mr

mass = 0.104 * 40

mass - 4.1667 g

mass = 4.2 g ___________this is the mass of MgO

For the reactions below, describe the reactor system and conditions you suggest to maximize the selectivity to make the desired

alexandr1967 [171]

Answer:

hello your question lacks the required reaction pairs below are the missing pairs

Reaction system 1 :

A + B ⇒ D $-r_{1A} = 10exp[-8000K/T]C_{A}C_{B}$

A + B ⇒ U $-r_{2a} = 100exp(-1000K/T)C_{A} ^\frac{1}{2}C_{B} ^\frac{3}{2}$

Reaction system 2

A + B ⇒ D $-r_{1A} = 10exp( -1000K/T)C_{A}C_{B}$

B + D ⇒ U $-r_{2B} = 10^9exp(-10000 K/T) C_{B}C_{D}$

Answer : reaction 1 : description of the reactor system : The desired reaction which is the first reaction possess a higher activation energy and higher temperature is required to kickstart reaction 1

condition to maximize selectivity : To maximize selectivity the concentration of reaction 1 should be higher than that of reaction 2

reaction 2 :

description of reactor system : The desired reaction i.e. reaction 1 has a lower activation energy and lower temperatures is required to kickstart reaction 1

condition to maximize selectivity:

to increase selectivity the concentration of D should be minimal

Explanation:

Reaction system 1 :

A + B ⇒ D $-r_{1A} = 10exp[-8000K/T]C_{A}C_{B}$

A + B ⇒ U $-r_{2a} = 100exp(-1000K/T)C_{A} ^\frac{1}{2}C_{B} ^\frac{3}{2}$

the selectivity of D is represented using the relationship below

$S_{DU} = \frac{-r1A}{-r2A}$

hence SDu = 1/10 * $\frac{exp(-800K/T)}{exp(-1000K/T)} * C_{A} ^{0.5} C_{B} ^{-0.5}$

description of the reactor system : The desired reaction which is the first reaction possess a higher activation energy and higher temperature is required to kickstart reaction 1

condition to maximize selectivity : To maximize selectivity the concentration of reaction 1 should be higher than that of reaction 2

Reaction system 2

A + B ⇒ D $-r_{1A} = 10exp( -1000K/T)C_{A}C_{B}$

B + D ⇒ U $-r_{2B} = 10^9exp(-10000 K/T) C_{B}C_{D}$

selectivity of D

$S_{DU} = \frac{-r1A}{-r2A}$

hence Sdu = $1/10^7 * \frac{exp(-1000K/T)}{exp(-10000K/T)} *\frac{C_{A} }{C_{D} }$

description of reactor system : The desired reaction i.e. reaction 1 has a lower activation energy and lower temperatures is required to kickstart reaction 1

condition to maximize selectivity:

to increase selectivity the concentration of D should be minimal

Which of the following addresses the economic question of how to produce?

Alexxandr [17]

Answer:

Explanation:

The correct answer would be requiring individuals to complete specific types of work.

A question of how to produce deals with the processes of production itself. There are several small processes that eventually aggregate together to lead to the production of goods or services. Some of these small processes will definitely require that individuals within the production unit complete specific types of work.

The option of growing corn instead of potatoes and producing more capital goods and fewer consumer products address what to produce while the option of selling natural resources to other countries has to do with for whom to produce.

Correct option: b

What is the volume of stank of nitrogen that contains 17 moles of nitrogen at 34 C under 12,000Pa?

Otrada [13]

Answer:

3626.76dm³

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Number of moles of Nitrogen in tank = 17moles

Temperature of the gas = 34°C

Pressure on the gas = 12000Pa

Unkown:

Volume of the tank, V =?

Converting the parameters to workable units:

We take the temperature from °C to Kelvin

K = 273 + °C = 273 + 34 = 307k

Taking the pressure in Pa to atm:

101325Pa = 1atm

12000Pa = 0.118atm

Solution:

To solve this problem, we employ the use of the ideal gas equation. The ideal gas law combines three gas laws which are the Boyle's law, Charles's law and the Avogadro's law.

It is expressed as PV = nRT

The unknown is the Volume and we make it the subject of the formula

V = $\frac{nRT}{P}$

Where R is called the gas constant and it is given as 0.082atmdm³mol⁻¹K⁻¹

Therefore V = $\frac{17 x 0.082 x 307 }{0.118}$ = 3626.76dm³
