(b) the decomposition of one mole of methyl alcohol (CH3OH) to methane and oxygen gases.arrow_forward3. Hydrochloric acid is a strong acid that can be used to make sodium chloride and a weak acid, nitrous acid. Write the balanced chemical equation of this reaction. (You can use the information in part b to help you determine states), b. Using the information below determine the AºHrn of the gencration of nitrous acid and sodium chloride. 2NACI (s) + H;O (1) → 2HCI (aq) + Na;O (aq) AH, = 507.1 kJ/mol NO (g) + NO2 (g) → Na;O (aq) + 2NaNO; (aq) AH,n = -427.4 kJ/mol NO (g) + NO2 (g) →N20 (g) + AHrxn = -42.8 kJ/mol (8) 2HNO2 (aq) → N20 (g) + O2 (g) + H2O (I) AHrn = 34.2 kJ/molarrow_forward
- Ammonification is the process by which A B C ammonia is released during the decomposition of nitrogen-containing organic compounds ammonium is converted to nitrite and nitrate in soils nitrate from soil is transformed to gaseous nitrogen compounds such as NO, N₂O, and N₂ D gaseous nitrogen is fixed to yield ammonia 4arrow_forwardCryolite (Na3AlF6) is used in the commercial production of aluminum from ore. Cryolite itself is produced by the following reaction: 6 NaOH + Al₂O3 + 12 HF → 2 Na3AlF6 + 9 H₂O A mixture containing 420.0 kg of NaOH, 228.4 kg of Al2O3, and 600.0 kg of HF is heated to 950 °C until it reacts to completion. What is the maximum mass of Na3AlF6 formed? kg Na3AlF6arrow_forwardGive the reaction type: CaCl2•3H2O (s) + ∆ ⟶ CaCl2 (s) + 3H2O (g)arrow_forward
- The Haber Process, developed by Fritz Haber in 1909, was a revolutionary method for producing ammonia from elemental hydrogen and nitrogen on an industrial scale. Write a balanced equation showing the conversion from elemental nitrogen (N2) and hydrogen (H2) to ammonia (NH3). (Omit states-of-matter from your answer.)arrow_forwardThe universal gas constant, R, is defined as the following: kg · m² s2 · K• mol R = 8.314 What would be its value in the following unit? lb· cm? day2 · K• molarrow_forwardApproximately 12 billion kilograms of phosphoric acid (H3PO4) are produced annually for fertilizers, detergents, and agents for water treatment. Phosphoric acid can be prepared by heating the mineral fluoroapatite (Ca5(PO4)3F) with sulphuric acid in the presence of water. Ca5(PO4)3F + 5H2SO4 + 10H20 → 3H3PO4 + 5CaSO4 2H20 + HF If every kilogram of fluoroapatite yields 390 g of phosphoric acid, what is the percent yield? percentarrow_forward
- Some indoor air-purification systems work by converting a little of the oxygen in the air to ozone, which oxidizes mold and mildew spores and other biological air pollutants. The chemical equation for the ozone generation reaction is: It is claimed that one such system generates 4.00 g O3 per hour from dry air passing through the purifier at a flow of 5.00 L/min. If one liter of indoor air contains 0.280 g of O2, what mole fraction of O2 is converted to O3 by the air purifier? What is the percent yield of the ozone generation reaction?arrow_forwardPart 1 A student carried out an investigation to observe the effect of changing concentration of sulfuric acid on the breakdown of calcium carbonate (marble) chips. They changed the concentration of the acid between each test but kept the size of the marble chips constant. The full equation for the reaction and a graph of the overall results can be seen below. CaCO3(s) + H₂SO4(aq) → CaSO4(aq) + CO2(g) + H₂O (1) a) b) Rate of Reaction * Concentration of Acid (mol dm³) Explain, using collision theory, why the student obtained these results, and state what they could conclude about the effect of changing concentration of acid on the rate of reaction between calcium carbonate and sulfuric acid. If the student had ground up the calcium carbonate chips into a powder and run the tests again, what would you expect to happen to the rate of reaction? Briefly explain why by applying collision theory. Part 2 The student ran the same experiment, but this time changed the temperature, increasing it…arrow_forwardHematite, Fe₂O3, is an important ore of iron. (An ore is a natural substance from which the metal can be profitably obtained.) The free metal is obtained by reacting hematite with carbon monoxide, CO, in a blast furnace. Carbon monoxide is formed in the furnace by partial combustion of carbon. The reaction is Fe₂O3(s) + 3CO(g) → 2Fe(s) + 3CO₂(g) How many grams of iron can be produced from 1.34 kg Fe₂03? g Fearrow_forward
