Interpretation:
To write the balanced chemical equation between nitrogen monoxide and propane that results in the production of N2, CO2 and H2 O gases.
Concept Introduction:
According to Dalton’s atomic theory matter cannot be destroyed or created; in order to be consistent with this, one must make sure that the number of atoms for each distinct type of an element must be equal on both sides of a chemical reaction.
Answer to Problem 98QAP
The balanced chemical equation between nitrogen monoxide and propane that results in the production of N2, CO2 and H2 O gases is:
Explanation of Solution
Nitrogen monoxide and propane are the two reactants while N2, CO2 and H2 O are the products. The chemical equation with their phases is:
The above reaction is not balanced as the number of atoms of oxygen, carbon, and hydrogen is not same on both the sides of the reaction.
So, in order to balance the reaction, the
Thus, the balanced reaction is:
(b)
Interpretation:
The partial pressure of CO2 after the reaction undergoes completion should be determined.
Concept Introduction:
If there is a mixture of gasses in a container the total pressure exerted is the sum of partial pressure of the gasses present in the container. Partial pressure is defined as the pressure exerted by the gas if the gas was alone in the container.
Partial pressure can be derived as follows
Answer to Problem 98QAP
0.21 atm.
Explanation of Solution
The balanced chemical equation can be written as follows,
It is clearly specified in the question that all three main products are in gas state,
If
(c)
Interpretation:
The partial pressure of CO2 after the reaction undergoes completion should be calculated.

- 109 An ore sample with a mass of 670 kg contains 27.7% magnesium carbonate, MgCO3. If all of the magnesium carbonate in this ore sample is decomposed to form carbon dioxide, describe how to determine what volume of CO2 is evolved during the process. What would have to be measured to predict the needed volume in advance?arrow_forwardPyruvic acid, HC3H3O3, is involved in cell metabolism. It can be assayed for (that is, the amount of it determined) by using a yeast enzyme. The enzyme makes the following reaction go to completion: HC3H3O3(aq)C2H4O(aq)+CO2(g) If a sample containing pyruvic acid gives 21.2 mL of carbon dioxide gas, CO2, at 349 mmHg and 30C, how many grams of pyruvic acid are there in the sample?arrow_forwardAmmonia gas is synthesized by combining hydrogen and nitrogen: 3 H2(g) + N2(g) 2 NH3(g) (a) If you want to produce 562 g of NH3, what volume of H2 gas, at 56 C and 745 mm Hg, is required? (b) Nitrogen for this reaction will be obtained from air. What volume of air, measured at 29 C and 745 mm Hg pressure, will be required to provide the nitrogen needed to produce 562 g of NH3? Assume the sample of air contains 78.1 mole % N2.arrow_forward
- How does hydraulic fracturing differ from previously used techniques for the recovery of natural gas from the earth?arrow_forwardA mixture contained calcium carbonate, CaCO3, and magnesium carbonate, MgCO3. A sample of this mixture weighing 7.85 g was reacted with excess hydrochloric acid. The reactions are CaCO3(g)+2HCL(aq)CaCl2(aq)+H2O(I)+CO2(g)MgCO3(s)+2HCL(aq)MgCl2(aq)+H2O(I)+CO2(g) If the sample reacted completely and produced 1.94 L of carbon dioxide, CO2, at 25C and 785 mmHg, what were the percentages of CaCO3 and MgCO3 in the mixture?arrow_forward93 The complete combustion of octane can be used as a model for the burning of gasoline: 2C8H18+25O216CO2+18H2O Assuming that this equation provides a reasonable model of the actual combustion process, what volume of air at 1.0 atm and 25°C must be taken into an engine to burn 1 gallon of gasoline? (The partial pressure of oxygen in air is 0.21 atm and the density of liquid octane is 0.70 g/mL.)arrow_forward
