Chapter 2, Problem 97QRT

Chalky, white crystals in mineral collections are often labeled borax, which has the molecular formula Na2B4O7 · 10H2O, when actually they are partially dehydrated samples with the molecular formula Na2B4O7 · 5H2O, which is more stable under the storage conditions. Real crystals of borax are colorless and transparent.

  1. (a) Calculate the percent mass that the mineral has lost when it partially dehydrates.
  2. (b) Is the percent boron by mass the same in both compounds?

(1) One of the steps in the commercial process for converting ammonia to nitric acid involves the conversion of ammonia, NH3(g) to nitrous oxide, NO(g). 4 NH3(g )  +  5 O2(g)  → 4  NO(g)  +  6 H2O(l) Atomic weights (g/mol): N=14, H=1, O=16 a. Balance the above chemical equation that represents the conversion. b. How many moles of oxygen are needed to convert 2.5 moles of ammonia? c. How many grams of water will be produced from 2.5 moles of ammonia? d. If 150 grams of oxygen reacted 2.5 moles of ammonia, identify the limiting and excess reagents. e. How much of the excess reagent remains unreacted? f. If the reaction in (d) produces 10.0 grams of nitrous oxide, calculate the percent yield.
b. (i) (ii) A green solid has the empirical formula FeBr3·5NH3 H₂O. Upon reaction with an excess of aqueous AgNO3 it is found that 1 mole of the solid precipitates 3 moles of AgBr. Heating the green solid leads to loss of 1 mole of H₂O to yield a blue solid with the same ratio of Fe:Br:NH3 as found in the green solid. The reaction of 1 mole of the blue solid with excess of aqueous AgNO3 produces 2 moles of AgBr. Draw and name the octahedral green and blue complexes. An octahedral complex having the formula [M(dien)(NH3)(OH₂)F] has a total of 15 isomers. In the sum formula "dien" represents the tridentate diethylenetriamine ligand, which can adopt meridional or facial coordination modes. Draw structures of 8 possible isomers, clearly showing any pairs of enantiomers. The tridentante ligand may be abbreviated as below for simplicity. H₂N : = ΝΗ NH :NH2 N diethylenetriamine (dien) N N
Hematite, 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 Fe
