You are given a solid mixture of NaNO2 and NaCl and are asked to analyze it for the amount of NaNO2 present. To do so, you allow the mixture to react with sulfamic acid, HSO3NH2, in water according to the equation
NaNO2(aq) + HSO3NH2(aq) →
NaHSO4(aq) + H2O(ℓ) + N2(g)
What is the weight percentage of NaNO2 in 1.232 g of the solid mixture if reaction with sulfa-mic acid produces 295 mL of dry N2 gas with a pressure of 713 mm Hg at 21.0 °C?

- 3.100 Some aluminum—lithium alloys display the property of superplasticity, meaning they can undergo tensile deformation by large amounts (1000 times or more) without breaking. If such an alloy has 4 wt% Li, what is its composition in mol%? Explain the relative magnitudes of the mole percentage and weight percentage based on the molar masses of aluminum and lithium.arrow_forward4.69 The pictures below show a molecular-scale view of a chemical reaction between H2 and CO to produce methanol, CH3OH. The box on the left represents the reactants at the instant of mixing, and the box on the right shows what is left once the reaction has gone to completion. Was there a limiting reactant in this reaction? If so, what was it? Write a balanced chemical equation for this reaction. As usual, your equation should use the smallest possible whole number coefficients for all substances.arrow_forwardA titanium ore contains rutile (TiO2) plus some iron oxide and silica. When it is heated with carbon in the presence of chlorine, titanium tetrachloride, TiCl4, is formed. TiO2(s)+C(s)+2Cl2(g)TiCl4(g)+CO2(g) Titanium tetrachloride, a liquid, can be distilled from the mixture. If 35.4 g of titanium tetrachloride is recovered from 18.1 g of crude ore, what is the mass percentage of TiO2 in the ore (assuming all TiO2 reacts)?arrow_forward
- Many cereals are made with high moisture content so that the cereal can be formed into various shapes before it is dried. A cereal product containing 58% H2O by mass is produced at the rate of 1000. kg/h. What mass of water must be evaporated per hour if the final product contains only 20.% water?arrow_forwardPropane, C3H8, is the fuel of choice in a gas barbecue. When burning, the balanced equation is C3H8+5O23CO2+4H2O a What is the limiting reactant in cooking with a gas grill? b If the grill will not light and you know that you have an ample flow of propane to the burner, what is the limiting reactant? c When using a gas grill you can sometimes turn the gas up to the point at which the flame becomes yellow and smokey. In terms of the chemical reaction, what is happening?arrow_forwardThe catalytic converter that is standard equipment on American automobiles converts carbon monoxide (CO)to carbon dioxide (CO2) by the reaction 2CO + O2 2CO2 What mass of O2, in grams, is needed to react completely with 25.0 g of CO?arrow_forward
- 4.111 Aluminum metal reacts with sulfuric acid to form hydrogen gas and aluminum sulfate (a) Write a balanced chemical equation for this reaction. (b) Suppose that a 0.792-g sample of aluminum that contains impurities is reacted with excess sulfuric acid and 0.0813 g of H2 is collected. Assuming that none of the impurities reacts with sulfuric acid to produce hydrogen, what is the percentage of aluminum in the sample?arrow_forwardA soft drink contains an unknown mass of citric acid, C3H5O(COOH)3. It requires 6.42 mL of 9.580 × 10−2-M NaOH to neutralize the citric acid in 10.0 mL of the soft drink. C3H5O(COOH)3(aq) + 3 NaOH(aq) → Na3C3H5O(COO)3(aq) + 3 H2O(ℓ) Determine which step in these calculations for the mass of citric acid in 1 mL soft drink is incorrect? Why? n (NaOH) = (6.42 mL)(1L/1000 mL)(9.580 × 10−2 mol/L) n (citric acid) = (6.15 × 10−4 mol NaOH) × (3 mol citric acid/1 mol NaOH) m (citric acid in sample) = (1.85 × 10−3 mol citric acid) × (192.12 g/mol citric acid) m (citric acid in 1 mL soft drink) = (0.354 g citric acid)/(10 mL soft drink) Determine the correct result.arrow_forwardMany cereals are made with high moisture content so that the cereal can be formed into various shapes before it is dried.

- Boron forms an extensive series of compounds with hydrogen, all with the general formula BxHy. To analyze one of these compounds, you burn it in air and isolate the boron in the form of B2O3 and the hydrogen in the form of water. You find that 0.1482 g BxHy gives 0.4221 g B2O3 when burned in excess O2. Determine the empirical I formula of BxHy.arrow_forward4.19 How many metric tons of carbon are required to react with 7.83 metric tons of Fe2O3 according to the following reaction? 2Fe2O3+3C3CO2+4Fe How many metric tons of iron are produced?arrow_forward4.24 Ammonia gas can be prepared by the reaction CaO(s)+2NH4Cl(s)2NH3(g)+H2O(g)+CaCl2(s) If 112 g of CaO reacts with 224 g of NH4Cl, how many moles of reactants and products are there when the reaction is complete?arrow_forward
