Answer:

Transfer of electrons between atoms

Explanation:

Just because it has the prefix "oxi" it doesn't necessarily mean that oxygen exists as a reactant.

Making and breaking ionic compounds happen right before or after redox reactions after the atoms or ions are modified into one another.

precipitation occurs during the redox rxns involved in electrolysis & daniel cells. but it is not a key factor.

What volume of o2 is needed to react fully with 720. Ml of nh3

Galina-37 [17]

Ammonia undergoes combustion with oxygen to produce nitric oxide and water. The volume of the oxygen required to react with 720 ml of ammonia is 900 ml.

<h3>What is volume?</h3>

Volume is the area occupied by the substance and is the ratio of the mass to the density.

At STP, 1 mole of gas occupies 22.4 L of volume

Given,

Volume of ammonia reacted = 0.720 L

The combustion reaction is shown as,

$\rm 4NH_{3} + 5O_{2} \rightarrow 4NO +6H_{2}O$

From the stoichiometry of the reaction, it can be said that,

$(4 \times 22.4)$ L of ammonia reacts with $(5 \times 22.4)$ L of oxygen gas.

So, 0.720 L of ammonia will react with:

$\dfrac{ (5 \times 22.4)}{(4 \times 22.4)} \times 0.720 = 0.9 \;\rm L$

Therefore, the volume of oxygen required is 900 mL.

Answer:

Explanation:

You should NEVER eat or drink anything in a lab area. You never know what chemicals or gases are in the lab, and they can harm you.

Wearing a drawstring hoodie won't protect you from chemicals.

Don't wait to clean up chemicals, immediately get a teacher and clean it up (follow the teachers instructions). You never know what has spilled, and if it is harmful or not, or if there is a certain procedure to clean it up.

Don't change the equipment in the middle of an experiment. This can tamper with your results, and depending on what you are working with, this can be dangerous.

Determine ΔH for the reaction CaCO3 → CaO + CO2 given these data: 2 Ca + 2 C + 3 O2 → 2 CaCO3 ΔH = −2,414 kJ C + O2 → CO2 ΔH = −

kicyunya [14]

Answer:

The ΔH for the reaction is -456.5 KJ

Explanation:

Here we want to determine ΔH for the reaction;

Mathematically;

ΔH = ΔH(product) - ΔH(reactant)

In the case of the first reaction;

ΔH = ΔH(CaO) + ΔH(CO2) - ΔH(CaCO3) ...........................(*)

From the other reactions, we can get the respective ΔH for the individual molecule in the reaction

In second reaction;

Kindly note that for elements, molecule of gases, ΔH = 0

What this means is that throughout the solution;

ΔH(Ca) = 0 KJ

ΔH(O2) = 0 KJ

ΔH(C) = 0 KJ

Thus, in writing the equation for the subsequent chemical reactions, we shall need to write and equate the overall ΔH for the reaction to that of the product alone

So in the second reaction

ΔH = 2ΔH(CaCO3)

Thus;

-2414/2 = ΔH(CaCO3)

ΔH(CaCO3) = -1,207 KJ

Moving to the third reaction, we have;

ΔH = ΔH(CO2)

Hence ΔH(CO2) = -393.5 KJ

For the last reaction;

ΔH = ΔH(CaO)

Hence ΔH(CaO) = -1270 KJ

Going back to equation *

ΔH = ΔH(CaO) + ΔH(CO2) - ΔH(CaCO3)

Using the values of the ΔH of the respective molecules given above,

ΔH = -1270 + (-393.5) - (-1207)

ΔH = -456.5 KJ
