The development of the Haber-Bosch process for manufacturing ammonia from elemental hydrogen and nitrogen was a major industrial revolution that had a significant effect during World War I. To maximize the percent yield, the reaction is carried out at 20.0 MPa and 450 °C. Calculate the percent yield if 750 L of ammonia gas is collected when 25.2 kg of hydrogen gas is reacted with excess nitrogen gas. Hint: Write a balanced chemical equation first. Do not show your work in the space provided. Record only your final answer with the correct number of significant digits and the proper units. Answer:

97 Homes in rural areas where natural gas service is not available often rely on propane to fuel kitchen ranges. The propane is stored as a liquid, and the gas to be burned is produced as the liquid evaporates. Suppose an architect has hired you to consult on the choice of a propane tank for such a new home. The propane gas consumed in 1.0 hour by a typical range burner at high power would occupy roughly 165 L at 25°C and 1.0 atm, and the range chosen by the client will have six burners. If the tank under consideration holds 500.0 gallons of liquid propane, what is the minimum number of hours it would take for the range to consume an entire tankful of propane? The density of liquid propane is 0.5077 kg/L.
60 Automakers are always investigating reactions for the generation of gas to inflate air bags, in part the because the sodium produced in the decomposition of NaN3 (see Problem 5.59) presents safety concerns. One system that has been considering is the oxidation of graphite by Strontium nitrate, as Sr(NO3)2as shown in the equation below: 5C(s)+2Sr(NO3)2(s)2SrO(s)+2N2(g)+5CO2(g) . Suppose that a System is being designed using this reaction and the goal is to generate enough gas to inflate a bag 61 L and 1.3 atm at 23 C. What is the minimum mass of graphite that should be used in the design of this system?
The compression ratio in an automobile engine is the ratio of the gas pressure at the end of the compression stroke to the pressure in the beginning. Assume that compression occurs at constant temperature. The total volume of the cylinder in an automobile is 350 cm3, and the displacement the reduction in volume during the compression stroke is 309 cm3. What is the compression ratio in that engine?
5-118 Isooctane, which has a chemical formula C8H18 is the component of gasoline from which the term octane rating derives. (a) Write the balanced chemical equation for the combustion of isooctane. (b) The density of isooctane is 0.792 g/mL. How many kg of C02 are produced each year by the annual U.S. gasoline consumption of L? (c) What is the volume in liters of this CO2 at STP? (d) The chemical formula for isooctane can be represented by (CH3)3CCH2CH(CH3)2. Draw a Lewis structure of isooctane. (e) Another molecule with the same molecular formula is octane, which can be represented by: When comparing isooctane and octane, one structure is observed to have a boiling point of 99°C, while another is known to have a boiling point Of 125°C. Which substance, isooctane or octane, is expected to have the higher boiling point? (f) Determine whether isooctane or octane is expected to have the greater vapor pressure.
