The annual production of HNO3 in 2013 was 60 million metric tons Most of that was prepared by the following sequence of reactions, each run in a separate reaction vessel.
(a)
(b)
(C)
The first reaction is run by burning ammonia in air over a platinum catalyst. This reaction is fast. The reaction in equation (c) is also fast. The second reaction limits the rate at which nitric acid can be prepared from ammonia. If equation (b) is second order in NO and first order in O2, what is the rate of formation of NO2 when the oxygen concentration is 0.50 M and the nitric oxide concentration is 0.75 M? The rate constant for the reaction is

- 62 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_forwardHow does hydraulic fracturing differ from previously used techniques for the recovery of natural gas from the earth?arrow_forwardWhen calcium carbonate is heated strongly, it evolves carbon dioxide gas.

- Sua is producing margarine from natural oils such as coconut oil by hydrogenation according to the following equation C57H104O6 + 3H2 ---->C57H110O6 at 200°c and 7atm. If an industrial hydrogenator with a volume of 500 litre is charged with 24 kilograms of oil and the reaction goes to completion, how many kilograms of margarine will be produced under these conditions?arrow_forwardOne of the sources of iron is magnetite, Fe3O4 (FeO and Fe2O3 mixed), which reacts with coke (carbon) to produce iron in the liquid state and carbon monoxide. If we assume that coke is pure carbon, how much is supplied to produce 10,000 metric tons of iron?arrow_forwardA typical formulation for window glass is 75% SiO₂, 15% Na₂O, and 10.% CaO by mass. What masses of sand (SiO₂),sodium carbonate, and calcium carbonate must be combined toproduce 1.00 kg of glass after carbon dioxide is driven off bythermal decomposition of the carbonates?arrow_forward
- The citizens of the world burn the fossil fuel equivalent of 7 * 1012 kg of petroleum per year. Assume that all of this petroleum is in the form of octane (C8H18) and calculate how much CO2 (in kg) the world produces from fossil fuel combustion per year. (Hint: Begin by writing a balanced equation for the combustion of octane.) If the atmosphere currently contains approximately3 * 1015 kg of CO2, how long will it take for the world’s fossil fuel combustion to double the amount of atmospheric carbon dioxide?arrow_forwardA student reacts a sample of Alka-Seltzer (the reactive ingredient is NaHCO3)with hydrochloric acid and obtains the following data (note that the carbondioxide product that was evolved during the reaction was collected andmeasured):PCO2 = 656.7 torr VCO2 = 16.75 mL TCO2 = 27.0 CWhat was the mass (in grams) of the NaHCO3 present in the original Alka-Seltzersample?

Apparently since 2004, Russian athletes had been inhaling xenon while training, with the physiological effect being to boost the capacity of blood to carry oxygen needs for aerobically demanding sports. If an athlete inhaled an average of 1.75 x 10-4 moles of Xe per breath while sleeping, with an average rate of 13.0 breaths per minute for 8.50 hours how many total GRAMS of Xe(g) were inhaled while sleeping? please show all calculationsarrow_forward
