- Nitric acid can be prepared by bubbling dinitrogen pentoxide into water. N2O5(g)+H2O2H+(aq)+2NO3(aq)(a) How many moles of H+ are obtained when 1.50 L of N2O5 at 25C and 1.00 atm pressure is bubbled into water? (b) The solution obtained in (a) after reaction is complete has a volume of 437 mL. What is the molarity of the nitric acid obtained?arrow_forwardWhat volume (in liters) of O2, measured at standard temperature and pressure, is required to oxidize 0.400 mol of phosphorus (P4)? P4(s) + 5 O2(g) P4O10(s)arrow_forwardIf an electric current is passed through molten sodium chloride, elemental chlorine gas is generated as the sodium chloride is decomposed. :math>2NaCl(1)2Na(s)+Cl2(g) at volume of chlorine gas measured at 767 mm Hg at 25 °C would be generated by complete decomposition of 1.25 g of NaCl?arrow_forward
- Pyruvic acid, HC3H3O3, is involved in cell metabolism. It can be assayed for (that is, the amount of it determined) by using a yeast enzyme. The enzyme makes the following reaction go to completion: HC3H3O3(aq)C2H4O(aq)+CO2(g) If a sample containing pyruvic acid gives 21.2 mL of carbon dioxide gas, CO2, at 349 mmHg and 30C, how many grams of pyruvic acid are there in the sample?arrow_forwardIn the presence of nitric acid, UO2+ undergoes a redox process. It is converted to UO22+ and nitric oxide (NO) gas is produced according to the following unbalanced equation: H+(aq)+NO3(aq)+UO2+(aq)NO(g)+UO22+(aq)+H2O(l) If 2.55 102 mL NO(g) is isolated at 29C and 1.5 atm, what amount (moles) of UO2+ was used in the reaction? (Hint: Balance the reaction by the oxidation states method.)arrow_forwardWhen hydrogen peroxide decomposes, oxygen is produced: 2H2O2(aq)2H2O+O2(g)What volume of oxygen gas at 25C and 1.00 atm is produced from the decomposition of 25.00 mL of a 30.0% (by mass) solution of hydrogen peroxide (d=1.05g/mL)?arrow_forward
- You have a gas, one of the three known phosphorus-fluorine compounds (PF3, PF3, and P2F4). To find out which, you have decided to measure its molar mass. (a) First, yon determine that the density of the gas is 5.60 g/L at a pressure of 0.971 atm and a temperature of 18.2 C. Calculate the molar mass and identify the compound. (b) To check the results from part (a), you decide to measure the molar mass based on the relative rales of effusion of the unknown gas and CO2. You find that CO2 effuses at a rate of 0.050 mol/min, whereas the unknown phosphorus fluoride effuses at a rate of 0.028 mol/min. Calculate the molar mass of the unknown gas based on these results.arrow_forwardPredict the results of passing a direct electrical current through (a) molten NaBr, (b) aqueous NaBr. and (c) aqueous SnCl2.arrow_forwardHow does hydraulic fracturing differ from previously used techniques for the recovery of natural gas from the earth?arrow_forward
