10 Ethylene (CH, CH,) is the starting point for a wide array of industrial chemical syntheses. For example, worldwide about 8.0 x 10° kg of polyethylene are made from ethylene each year, for use in everything from household plumbing to artificial joints. Natural sources of ethylene are entirely inadequate to meet world demand, so ethane (CH,CH,) from natural gas is "cracked" in refineries at high temperature in a kinetically complex reaction that produces ethylene gas and hydrogen gas. Suppose an engineer studying ethane cracking fills a 60.0 L reaction tank with 22.0 atm of ethane gas and raises the temperature to 500. °C. She believes K =0.050 at this temperature. Calculate the percent by mass of ethylene the engineer expects to find in the equilibrium gas mixture. Round your answer to 2 significant digits. Note for advanced students: the engineer may be mistaken about the correct value of K, and the mass percent of ethylene you calculate may not be what she actually observes.

Suppose that you are closing a cabin in the north woods for the winter and you do not want the water in the toilet tank to freeze. You know that the temperature might get as low as 30. C, and you want to protect about 4.0 L water in the toilet tank from freezing. Calculate the volume of ethylene glycol (density = 1.113 g/mL; molar mass = 62.1 g/mol) you should add to the 4.0 L water.

Since the pandemic has hit, more people are growing their own gardens and processing the fruits of their work. One thing that is flying off the shelves are spices for canning, such as alum. From this lab, you have seen how easy it is to prepare an alum, and the ingredients to make this are not difficult to obtain. You are going to make a batch of pickles and the recipe requires 6.05g of alum for each quart jar of pickles and you plan on making 50 jar of pickles. The % yield of making alum is only 84.4%. a. What is the actual yield of alum that you need to prepare to make your pickles? b. What is the theoretical yield of alum required to prepare the pickles? c. What mass of aluminum do you need to start with to make the required amount of alum for the preparation of the pickles?
The manufacture of nitrogen trifluoride is a growing industry, due to its use as a plasma etchant in the semiconductor industry. Nitrogen trifluoride can be synthesized by passing a currentthrough a high-temperature mixture of ammonium fluoride and hydrogen fluoride, withhydrogen gas as a byproduct. In one synthesis, 1.20x103g ammonium fluoride is reacted with1.20x103g hydrogen fluoride to produce 5.00x102g nitrogen trifluoride. What is the limitingeactant, excess reactant, theoretical yield of nitrogen trifluoride, percent yield, and mass ofxcess reactant remaining after the reaction?
A Boeing 767-400ER traveling from Atalanta, Georgia (ATL) to Paris, France travels an average distance of 4394 miles. When carrying 283 passengers on this route, the efficiency recorded by the aircraft approaches 64.2 miles/gallon per passenger. What is the minimum quantity of fuel that 1.00gal = 3.78L?
Nitroglycerin is a dangerous powerful explosive that violently decomposes when it is shaken or dropped. The Swedish chemist Alfred Nobel (1833-1896) founded the Nobel Prizes with a fortune he made by inventing dynamite, a mixture of nitroglycerin and inert ingredients that was safe to handle. 1. Write a balanced chemical equation, including physical state symbols, for the decomposition of liquid nitroglycerin ( C3H5NO33 ) into gaseous dinitrogen, gaseous dioxygen, gaseous water and gaseous carbon dioxide. 2. Suppose 10.0L of carbon dioxide gas are produced by this reaction, at a temperature of −11.0°C and pressure of exactly 1atm . Calculate the mass of nitroglycerin that must have reacted. Be sure your answer has the correct number of significant digits.
Automobiles are often implicated as contributors to global warming because they are a source of the greenhouse gas CO2. How many pounds of CO2 would your car release in a year if it was driven 110. miles per week? Gasoline is a complex mixture of hydrocarbons. In your calculations, assume that gasoline is octane (molecular formula C8H18) and that it is burned completely to CO2 and H2O in the engine of your car. Also assume that the car averages 27.3 miles per gallon and that the density of octane is 0.703 g cm-3.
Electrical energy is measured in kilowatt hours, kWH. A watt is 1 joule per second, a kilowatt is 1000 joules per second. An hour has 3600 seconds, therefore 1kWh=3.6x10^6 joules. How many kWh are there in a meal that is 437 Cal?
High fructose corn syrup is a sweetener found in everyday food items especially carbonated beverages. It is derived from the "fruit" of corn using a bioprocess that degrades corn starch into its constituent sugars. Given the quantity of corn syrup (d = 1.4 kg L^-1) needed for many industries. It should be no surprise that this product is often transported from place to place in tank cars (via railway) where the typical transport mass is 2.290 x 10^5lbs. In the space provided below, calculated the diameter in (meters) of such a tank car's 11.12m long-cylindrical transport container. Recall that 1 gal =3.785 L, kg= 2.205lbs, and 1cm^3 =exactly 1mL
