A miniature volcano can be made in the laboratory with ammonium dichromate. When ignited, it decomposes in a fiery display.
(NH4)2Cr2O7(s) → N2(g) + 4 H2O(g) + Cr2O3(s)
If 0.95 g of ammonium dichromate is used and the gases from this reaction are trapped in a 15.0-L flask at 23 °C, what is the total pressure of the gas in the flask? What are the partial pressures of N2 and H2O?

- 59 During a collision, automobile air bags are inflated by the N2 gas formed by the explosive decomposition of sodium azide, NaN3: 2NaN32Na+3N2 What mass of sodium azide would be needed to inflate a 30.0-L bag to a pressure of 1.40 atm at 25 C?arrow_forwardRaoul Pictet, the Swiss physicist who first liquefied oxygen, attempted to liquefy hydrogen. He heated potassium formate, KCHO2, with KOH in a closed 2.50-Lvessel. KCHO2(s)+KOH(s)K2CO3(s)+H2(g) If 75.0 g of potassium formate reacts in a 2.50-L vessel, which was initially evacuated, what pressure of hydrogen will be attained when the temperature is finally cooled to 25C? Use the preceding chemical equation and ignore the volume of solid product.arrow_forwardOne 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_forward
- You have an equimolar mixture of the gases SO2 and O2, along with some He, in a container fitted with a piston. The density of this mixture at STP is 1.924 g/L. Assume ideal behavior and constant temperature and pressure. a. What is the mole fraction of He in the original mixture? b. The SO2 and O2 react to completion to form SO3. What is the density of the gas mixture after the reaction is complete?arrow_forward99 Pure gaseous nitrogen dioxide (NO2) cannot be obtained, because NO2dimerizes, or combines with itself, to produce a mixture of NO2 and N2O4. A particular mixture of NO2, and N2O4 has a density of 2.39 g/L at 50°C and 745 torr. What is the partial pressure of NO2 in this mixture?arrow_forwardLiquid oxygen was first prepared by heating potassium chlorate, KClO3, in a closed vessel to obtain oxygen at high pressure. The oxygen was cooled until it liquefied. 2KClO3(s)2KCl(s)+3O2(g) If 171 g of potassium chlorate reacts in a 2.70-L vessel, which was initially evacuated, what pressure of oxygen will be attained when the temperature is finally cooled to 25C? Use the preceding chemical equation and ignore the volume of solid product.arrow_forward
- 61 As one step in its purification, nickel metal reacts with carbon monoxide to form a compound called nickel tetracarbonyl, Ni(CO)4, which is a gas at temperature above about 316 K. A 2.000-L flask is filled with CO gas to a pressure of 748 torr at 350.0 K, and then 5.00 g of Ni is added. If the reaction describe occurs and goes to completion at constant temperature, what will the final pressure in the falsk be?arrow_forwardA chemist weighed out 5.14 g of a mixture containing unknown amounts of BaO(s) and CaO(s) and placed the sample in a 1.50-L flask containing CO2(g) at 30.0C and 750. torr. After the reaction to form BaCO3(s) and CaCO3(s) was completed, the pressure of CO2(g) remaining was 230. torr. Calculate the mass percentages of CaO(s) and BaO(s) in the mixture.arrow_forwardMany nitrate salts can be decomposed by heating. For example, blue, anhydrous copper(II) nitrate produces the gases nitrogen dioxide and oxygen when heated. In the laboratory, you find that a sample of this salt produced a 0.195-g mixture of gaseous NO2 and O2 with a total pressure of 725 mm Hg at 35 C in a 125-mL flask (and black, solid CuO was left as a residue). What is the average molar mass of the gas mixture? What are the mole fractions of NO2 and O2 in the mixture? What amount of each gas b in the mixture? Do these amounts reflect the relative amounts of NO2 and O2 expected based on the balanced equation? Is it possible that the fact that some NO2 molecules combine to give N2O4 plays a role? Heating copper(II) nitrate produces nitrogen dioxide and oxygen gas and leaves a residue of copper(ll) oxide.arrow_forward
