(a)
Interpretation:
The mass of sulfur trioxide
Concept introduction:
Reactions can occur in multiple steps. Multiple stoichiometry reactions technique is used to calculate the amount of products formed. A relationship between the reactant and final product is found by including the products formed in each step. From the relation, stoichiometry and mole concept is used.

- Calcium carbide, CaC2, is manufactured by reducing lime with carbon at high temperature. (The carbide is used in turn to make acetylene, an industrially important organic chemical.) Is the reaction endothermic or exothermic?arrow_forwardHow does hydraulic fracturing differ from previously used techniques for the recovery of natural gas from the earth?arrow_forward62 Ammonium dinitramide (ADN), NH4N(NO2)2, was considered as a possible replacement for aluminium chloride as the oxidizer in the solid fuel booster rockets used to launch the space shuttle. When detonated by a spark, AND rapidly decomposes to produce a gaseous mixture of N2,O2, and H2O. (This is not a combustion reaction. The ADN is the only reactant.) The reaction releases a lot of heat, so the gases are initially formed at high temperature and pressure. The thrust of the rocket results mainly from the expansion of this gas mixture. Suppose a 2.3-kg sample of ADN is denoted and decomposes completely to give N2,O2, and H2O. If the resulting gas mixture expands until it reaches a temperature of 100°C and a pressure of 1.00 atm, what volume will it occupy? Is your answer consistent with the proposed use of ADN as a rocket fuel?arrow_forward
- One of the components of polluted air is NO. It is formed in the high-temperature environment of internal combustion engines by the following reaction: N2(g)+O2(g)2NO(g)H=180KJ Why are high temperatures needed to convert N2 and O2 to NO?arrow_forwardUse the appropriate tables to calculate H for (a) the reaction between copper(II) oxide and carbon monoxide to give copper metal and carbon dioxide. (b) the decomposition of one mole of methyl alcohol (CH3OH) to methane and oxygen gases.arrow_forwardYou heat 1.000 quart of water from 25.0C to its normal boiling point by burning a quantity of methane gas, CH4. What volume of methane at 23.0C and 745 mmHg would you require to heat this quantity of water, assuming that the methane is completely burned? The products are liquid water and gaseous carbon dioxide.arrow_forward
- You are heating potassium perchlorate and collecting the oxygen gas from the decomposition over water. Write the equation here! 2 KClO3(s) ----------> 2KCl (s) + 3O2 (g) 2. Mass of sample: 0.398 g Ambient pressure: 752.3 mmHg Volume of gas: 81.4 mL Room temperature: 18.9 degrees Celsius 3. Using the mass of your KClO4 sample, and the balanced equation, calculate the theoretical yield of O2 gas in grams. 4. With vapor pressure of water versus temperature, find the vapor pressure of water at your temperature: Vapor pressure of water at given temperature:arrow_forwardWhich of the following statement about coal gasification is INCORRECT?A. The synthesis gas is CH4.B. It produces liquid coal under high pressure and temperature.C. It relieves the stress from oil and gas supply.D. It is a type of non-renewable energy.E. The first step is called steam reforming.arrow_forwardWhen limestone (solid CaCO3) is heated, it decomposes into lime (solid CaO) and carbon dioxide gas. This is an extremely useful industrial process of great antiquity, because powdered lime mixed with water is the basis for mortar and concrete — the lime absorbs CO2 from the air and turns back into hard, durable limestone. Suppose some calcium carbonate is sealed into a limekiln of volume 550.L and heated to 700.0°C. When the amount of CaCO3 has stopped changing, it is found that 4.14kg have disappeared. Calculate the pressure equilibrium constant Kp this experiment suggests for the equilibrium between CaCO3 and CaO at 700.0°C. Round your answer to 2 significant digits. Note for advanced students: it's possible there was some error in this experiment, and the value it suggests for Kp does not match the accepted value.arrow_forward
- In identical 1.0 containers, we can put the gases HE, Cl2, CH4, and NH3, each at 32 degrees Celsius and 1.05 atm pressure. Which gas will have the greatest kinetic energy? If the flasks are opened simultaneously, which has will travel the farthest?arrow_forwardWhat volume of oxygen will be required for the complete combustion of 54 L of hydrogen if both gases are measured at the same temperature and pressure. 4 H2 (g) + 2 O2 (g) → 4 H2O (l)arrow_forwardCarbon dioxide, which is recognized as the major contributorto global warming as a “greenhouse gas,” is formedwhen fossil fuels are combusted, as in electrical powerplants fueled by coal, oil, or natural gas. One potential wayto reduce the amount of CO2 added to the atmosphere isto store it as a compressed gas in underground formations.Consider a 1000-megawatt coal-fired power plant that producesabout 6 * 106 tons of CO2 per year. (a) Assumingideal-gas behavior, 1.00 atm, and 27 °C, calculate the volumeof CO2 produced by this power plant. (b) If the CO2 isstored underground as a liquid at 10 °C and 120 atm and adensity of 1.2 g>cm3, what volume does it possess?
