An experiment is conducted in which varying amounts of solid iron are added to a fixed volume of liquid bromine. The product of the reaction is a single compound, which can be separated from the product mixture and weighed. The graph shows the relationship between the mass of iron in each trail versus the mass of the product compound. Explain why the group has a positive slope for low masses of iron and a zero slope when the mass of iron added becomes larger.
About 5 billion kilograms of benzene, C6H6, are made each year. Benzene is used as a starting material for many other compounds and as a solvent (although it is also a carcinogen, and its use is restricted). One compound that can be made from benzene is cyclohexane, C6H12. C6H6() + 3 H2(g) C6H12() rH = 206.7 kJ/mol-rxn; rS = 361.5 J/K mol-rxn Is this reaction predicted to be product-favored at equilibrium at 25 C? Is the reaction enthalpy- or entropy-driven?
The meat from one hazelnut has a mass of 0.985 g. (a) What is the mass of a millionth of a mole (106) of hazelnut meats? (A millionth of a mole is also called a micromole.) (b) How many moles are in a pound of hazelnut meats?
3.81 The particulate scale drawing shown depicts the products of a reaction between H2 and O2 molecules. (a) Draw a similar representation for the reactants that must have been present before the reaction took place. (b) Write a balanced chemical equation for the reaction, using the smallest possible whole number coefficients.
4.36 Sometimes students in chemistry labs determine percentage yields greater than 100%. Assuming there is no calculation error, how could this happen?
Consider the unbalanced equation for the combustion of propane: :math>C3H8(g)+O2(g)CO2(g)+H2O(g) rst, balance the equation. Then, for a given amount of propane, write the mole ratios that would enable you to calculate the number of moles of each product as well as the number of moles of O2that would be involved in a complete reaction. Finally, show how these mole ratios would be applied if 0.55 mole of propane is combusted.
4.72 The picture shown depicts the species present at the start of a combustion reaction between methane, CH4 and oxygen, O2 (a) What is the limiting reactant? (b) Draw the resulting state after this set of reactants has reacted as far as possible.
Consider the following reaction: 4NH3(g)4NO(g)+6H2O(g) If a container were to have 10 molecules of O2 and 10 molecules of NH3 initially, how many total molecules (reactants plus products) would be present in the container after this reaction goes to completion?
You have seven closed containers, each with equal masses of chlorine gas (Cl2) . You add 10.0 g of sodium to the first sample, 20.0 g of sodium to the second sample, and so on (adding 70.0 g of sodium to the seventh sample). Sodium and chlorine react to form sodium chloride according to the equation 2Na(s)+Cl22NaCl(s) After each reaction is complete, you collect and measure the amount of sodium chloride formed. A graph of your results is shown below. Answer the following questions: a. Explain the shape of the graph. b. Calculate the mass of NaCl formed when 20.0 g of sodium is used. c. Calculate the mass of Cl2 in each container. d. Calculate the mass of NaCl formed when 50.0 g of sodium is used. e. Identify the leftover reactant, and determine its mass for parts b and d above.
4.6 Use the web to research prices of gasoline at the pump for consumers in your area during the past year. Also find information about the price of crude oil for the same period. Discuss any correlations you observe between the two prices.
Ethanol, C2H5OH, is a gasoline additive that can be produced by fermentation of glucose. C6H12O62C2H5OH+2CO2 (a) Calculate the mass (g) of ethanol produced by the fermentation of 1.000 lb glucose. (b) Gasohol is a mixture of 10.00 mL ethanol per 90.00 mL gasoline. Calculate the mass (in g) of glucose required to produce the ethanol in 1.00 gal gasohol. Density of ethanol = 0.785 g/mL. (c) By 2022, the U. S. Energy Independence and Security Act calls for annual production of 3.6 1010 gal of ethanol, no more than 40% of it produced by fermentation of corn. Fermentation of 1 ton (2.2 103 lb) of corn yields approximately 106 gal of ethanol. The average corn yield in the United States is about 2.1 105 lb per 1.0 105 m2. Calculate the acreage (in m2) required to raise corn solely for ethanol production in 2022 in the United States.
