Interpretation:
The balanced chemical equations for the two described reactions are to be written.
Concept Introduction: Chemical equations having an equal number of atoms of each type on both sides of the equation is known as a balanced chemical equation. The steps to balance chemical equation are:
If there is an element that occurs in only one compound on both sides of the equation, balance it first.
If there are more than one such element is there, balance metals before non-metals.
If the element is present in a free state on both the sides of the equation, balance it last. These elements are balanced by adjusting the coefficients.
If coefficients are present in a fraction, convert it into whole numbers by multiplying with the appropriate number.

- As weather balloons rise from the earths surface, the pressure of the atmosphere becomes less, tending to cause the volume of the balloons to expand. However, the temperatura is much lower in the upper atmosphere than at sea level. Would this temperatura effect tend to make such a balloon expand or contract? Weather balloons do, in fact, expand as they rise. What does this tell you?arrow_forwardHow does hydraulic fracturing differ from previously used techniques for the recovery of natural gas from the earth?arrow_forwardA gaseous hydrocarbon reacts completely with oxygen gas to form carbon dioxide and water vapour. Given the following data, determine Hf for the hydrocarbon: Hreaction=2044.5KJ/molhydrocarbonHf(CO2)=393.5KJ/molHf(H2O)=242KJ/mol Density of CO2 and H2O product mixture at 1.00 atm, 200.c = 0.751g/L. The density of the hydrocarbon is less than the density of Kr at the same conditions.arrow_forward
- 9.72 Although it can be a nuisance when a laptop computer freezes up and needs to be rebooted, we accept that as somewhat inevitable. But clearly the need to occasionally reboot the control system for the power grid would not be acceptable. Use the web to research ways that engineers ensure the reliability of crucial systems like the control infrastructure of the grid, and write a paragraph summarizing the main strategies employed.arrow_forwardWhat possible uses exist for the natural gas liquids that are removed from natural gas during its processing?arrow_forwardSilicon forms a series of compounds analogous to the al-kanes and having the general formula SinH2n+2. The first of these compounds is silane, SiH4, which is used in the electronics industry to produce thin ultrapure silicon films. SiH4(g) is somewhat difficult to work with because it is py-ropboric at room temperature—meaning that it bursts into flame spontaneously when exposed to air. (a) Write an equation for the combustion of SiH4(g). (The reaction is analogous to hydrocarbon combustion, and SiO2 is a solid under standard conditions. Assume the water produced will be a gas.) (b) Use the data from Appendix E to calculate ? for this reaction. (c) Calculate G and show that the reaction is spontaneous at 25°C. (d) Compare G for this reaction to the combustion of methane. (See the previous problem.) Are the reactions in these two exercises enthalpy or entropy driven? Explain.arrow_forward
- What is the meaning of feedback loop within the context of climate change? Describe how global warming is a positive feedback loop and the participation of greenhouse gases in that looparrow_forwardThe molar heat capacity of a diatomic molecule is 29.1 J/K · mol. Assuming the atmosphere contains only nitrogen gas and there is no heat loss, calculate the total heat intake (in kJ) if the atmosphere warms up by 3.0°C during the next 50 years. Given that there are 2.8 x 10²20 moles of diatomic molecule present, how many kilograms of ice (at the North and South Poles) will this quantity of heat melt at 0° C? (The molar heat of fusion of ice is 6.01 kJ/mol.) Total heat intake: × 10 kJ Ice melted: × 10 |kg (Enter your answer in scientific notation.)arrow_forwardAnna was asked to identify and explain if the equation CO2 (g) → CO2 (I) was an endothermic or exothermic reaction. However she got it wrong. What is her error and what should the answer have been? Anna's statement: The equation is an endothermic reaction because the energy is released from gaseous CO2 to the surroundings to become liquidCO, causing the molecules to speed up.arrow_forward
- Some Chem 16.1 students were tasked to perform the ideal gas experiment with some modifications. Instead of magnesium ribbon, the students were to use 0.029 g of aluminum foil. They prepared the eudiometer by adding 6M HCI and filling it with water to the brim. Once the setup was complete, they performed the experiment. Note that the aluminum was completely consumed in the reaction. From the experiment, it was found that the external pressure was 1.05 atm at 30.0 °C, and the volume of the air inside the eudiometer was 33.5 mL. The water level inside the eudiometer is 4.15 cm below the surface of the water level outside. Given these measurements and the following constants, answer the proceeding questions. At 30.0°C, Pvapor = 31.8 mmHg • R = 0.08206 L-atm/mol-K = 62.36 L-torr/mol-K • MWAI = 26.98 g/mol A. Find the value of the pressure of dry air (PDA) in torr. B.

A mass of 1.103 g of this sample was burned in a bomb calorimeter, producing 1.294 g of liquid water and 2.108 g of gaseous carbon dioxide. The heat produced from the combustion raised the temperate of the calorimeter from 25 °C to 31.94 °C. Assuming there is no heat lost to the calorimeter, calculate the amount of heat (ΔH = J/mol sample) generated by the reaction.arrow_forwardAncient Romans built often out of bricks and mortar. A key ingredient in their mortar was quicklime (calcium oxide), which they produced by roasting limestone (calcium carbonate). 1. Write a balanced chemical equation, including physical state symbols, for the decomposition of solid calcium carbonate (CaCO3) into solid calcium oxide and gaseous carbon dioxide. Ď 2. Suppose 20.0 L of carbon dioxide gas are produced by this reaction, at a temperature of 340.0 °C and pressure of exactly 1 atm. Calculate the mass of calcium carbonate that must have reacted.
