The tarnish that forms on objects made of silver is solid silver sulfide; it can be removed by reacting it with aluminum metal to produce silver metal and solid aluminum sulfide. How many moles of silver are made if you react 8 moles of aluminum with 6 moles of silver sulfide? Hint: Write a balanced chemical equation first.

A possible practical way to eliminate oxides of nitrogen(such as NO2 ) from automobile exhaust gases uses cyanuricacid, C3N3(OH)3 . When heated to the relatively lowtemperature of 625°F, cyanuric acid converts to gaseousisocyanic acid (HNCO). Isocyanic acid reacts with NO2 inthe exhaust to form nitrogen, carbon dioxide, and water,all of which are normal constituents of the air. (a) Write balanced equations for these two reactions. (b) If the process described earlier became practical, howmuch cyanuric acid (in kilograms) would be requiredto absorb the 1.71010kgNO2 generated annuallyin auto exhaust in the United States?
