Concept explainers
Interpretation:
The given equations that best describe the reaction isto be determined.
Concept Introduction:
The combined gas law is the combination of three
Boyle’s states that at constant temperature, pressure of an ideal gas is inversely proportional to the volume of gas. Charles’ law states that at constant pressure, volume of an ideal gas is directly proportional to the temperature. Avagadro’s law states that at constant temperature and pressure, volume of an ideal gas is directly proportional to the number of moles of gas.
The combined gas law forms the relationship between pressure, volume, temperature, and number of moles. This can be shown by

- Nitrogen trifluoride is prepared by the reaction of ammonia and fluorine. 4 NH3(g) + 3 F2(g) 3 NH4F(s) + NF3(g) If you mix NH3 with F2 in the correct stoichiometric ratio, and if the total pressure of the mixture is 120 mm Hg, what are the partial pressures of NH3 and F2? When the reactants have been completely consumed, what is the total pressure in the flask? (Assume T is constant.)arrow_forwardWhen acetylene, C2H2, is burned in oxygen, carbon dioxide and steam are formed. A sample of acetylene with a volume of 7.50 L and a pressure of 1.00 atm is burned in excess oxygen at 225C. The products are transferred without loss to a 10.0-L. flask at the same temperature. (a) Write a balanced equation for the reaction. (b) What is the total pressure of the products in the 10.0-L flask? (c) What is the partial pressure of each of the products in the flask?arrow_forwardThe hydrocarbon octane (C8H18) bums to give CO2 and water vapor: 2 C8H18(g) + 25 O2(g) 16 CO2(g) + 18 H2O(g) If a 0.048-g sample of octane burns completely in O2, what will be the pressure of water vapor in a 4.75-L flask at 30.0 C? If the O2 gas needed for complete combustion was contained in a 4.75-L flask at 22 C, what would its pressure be?arrow_forward
- One way to synthesize diborane, B2H6, is the reaction 2 NaBH4(s) + 2 H3PO4() B2H6(g) + 2 NaH2PO4(s) + 2 H2(g) (a) If you have 0.136 g of NaBH4 and excess H3PO4, and you collect the resulting B2H6 in a 2.75-L flask at 25 C, what is the pressure of the B2H6 in the flask? (b) A by-product of the reaction is H2 gas. If both B2H6 and H2 gas come from this reaction, what is the total pressure in the 2.75-L flask (after reaction of 0.136 g of NaBH4 with excess H3PO4) at 25 C?arrow_forwardHydrogen azide, HN3, decomposes on heating by the following unbalanced equation: HN3O(g)N2(g)+H2(g) If 3.0 atm of pure HN3(g) is decomposed initially, what is the final total pressure in the reaction container? What are the partial pressures of nitrogen and hydrogen gas? Assume the volume and temperature of the reaction container are constant.arrow_forwardIn a typical automobile engine, a gasoline vapor-air mixture is compressed and ignited in the cylinders of the engine. This results in a combustion reaction that produces mainly carbon dioxide and water vapor. For simplicity, assume that the fuel is C8H18 and has a density of 0.760 g/mL. (a) Calculate the partial pressures of N2 and 02 in the air before it goes into the cylinder; assume the atmospheric pressure is 734 mmHg. (b) Consider the case where the air, without any fuel added, is compressed in the cylinder to seven times atmospheric pressure, the compression ratio of many modem automobile engines. Calculate the partial pressures of N2 and O2 at this pressure. (c) Now consider the case where 0.050 mL gasoline is added to the air in the cylinder just before compression and completely vaporized. Assume that the volume of the cylinder is 485 mL and the temperature is 150C. Calculate the partial pressure of the gasoline vapor. (d) Calculate the amount (mol) of oxygen required to bum the gasoline in part (c) completely to CO2 and H2O. (e) The combustion reaction in the cylinder creates temperatures in excess of 1200K. Due to the high temperature, some of the nitrogen and oxygen in the air reacts to form nitrogen monoxide. If 10% of the nitrogen is converted to NO, calculate the mass (g) of NO produced by this combustion. (f) Hot-rod cars use another oxide of nitrogen, dinitrogen monoxide, to create an extra burst in power. When such a power boost is needed, dinitrogen monoxide gas is injected into the cylinders where it reacts with oxygen to form NO. Calculate the mass of dinitrogen monoxide that would have to be injected to form the same quantity of NO as produced in part (e). Assume that sufficient oxygen is present to do so.arrow_forward
