Nitroglycerine ( C, H,N,0,) is a very strong explosive that degrades over time and is too shock sensitive to transport safely. Dynamite is made by combining nitroglycerine with stabilizers and adsorbents, which makes it much safer to use. The explosion of nitroglycerin can be represented by: 4 C,H,N,0,() 6 N;(9) + 12 CO(9) + 10 H,0(g) + 7 0,(9) A stick of 40% dynamite is about 20 cm long and about 3 cm in diameter and weighs 241 grams. It is 40.0% nitroglycerine by mass. What is the total number of moles of gas produced when a stick of 40% dynamite explodes? mol gas

Silicon 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.
Are the following processes examples of homogeneous or heterogeneous catalysis? a Hydrolysis of immiscible ethyl acetate (l) in an aqueous basic solution. b Conversion of NOX gases to N2 and O2 by platinum metal. c Decomposition of atmospheric ozone by NO gas. d Oxidation of ethyl alcohol, C2H5OH, by the enzyme alcohol dehydrogenase, ADH, to acetaldehyde in the body. e Solid-state conversion of C graphite to C diamond by transition metal additives at high pressure.
Monochloroethane (C2H5Cl) can be produced by the direct reaction of ethane gas (C2H6) with chlorine gas or by the reaction of ethylene gas (C2H4) with hydrogen chloride gas. The second reaction gives almost a 100% yield of pure C2H5Cl at a rapid rate without catalysis. The first method requires light as an energy source or the reaction would not occur. Yet G for the first reaction is considerably more negative than G for the second reaction. Explain how this can be so.

The thermal decomposition of ozone in the gas phase is thought to proceed via the reactive intermediate, oxygen atom; overall: 2 O_3 --> 3 O_2. Mechanism: O_3 --> O_2 + O k_1 O + O_2 --> O_3 k_2 O + O_3 --> 2 O_2 k_3 Apply the steady-state approximation and obtain an expression for the rate of loss of ozone, d[O_3]/dt. You may assume that [O_2] is large and unchanging. (show all work)

Differential EQN: Bruce Wayne analyzes a kryptonite in order to prepare if ever Clark Kent becomes rogue. The former studieda kryptonite and found that it decomposes at a rate proportional to the quantity of kryptonite present.Suppose that it is found that in 25 years approximately 1.1% of a certain quantity of kryptonite hasdecomposed. Determine how long it will take until 50% of the original amount of kryptonite dissipates. pls. provide complete solution with explenation. the formula we use is : dx/dt=kx
hello, i sent this question before but the answer you rpovided for both wasnt right and i couldnt undertstand how you got the answer. can you please show me a handwritten solution for better understanding. 1a) The decomposition of ethanol at some constant temperature (above 500°C), over a copper surface, C2H5OH(g) CH3CHO(g) + H2(g) was studied by monitoring the total pressure with time.The following data were obtained: t (s) Ptotal (torr) 0 120 45 131 139 154 233 177 376 212 380 213 What will be the total pressure at t = 462 s? 1b) What is the rate constant (k)?(Include appropriate units.)
A chemist runs a reaction at 25.0 C and determines that the reaction proceeds far too slowly. She decides that the reaction needs to speed up by a factor of 16. At what temperature should she run the reaction?
Ethylene (CH2CH2) is the starting point for a wide array of industrial chemical syntheses. For example, worldwide about 8.0 x 1010kg 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 (CH3CH3) 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 30.0L reaction tank with 24.0atm of ethane gas and raises the temperature to 800.°C. He believes Kp= 0.040 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 Kp, and the mass percent of ethylene you calculate may not be what he actually observes.
