- Addition of which of the following reactants would lead to the formation of more hydrogen gas? magnesium water hydrochloric acid magnesium chloride.arrow_forwardWrite a balanced chemical equation for the acid-base reaction of oxalic acid, H2C2O4, with sodium hydroxide.arrow_forwardThe Haber process is used to manufacture ammonia from nitrogen and hydrogen in the presence of an iron catalyst. The reaction, shown in this equation, is exothermic: N 2 (g)+3H 2 (g) rightleftharpoons 2N*H_{3}(g) + Heat Which statement correctly describes the chemical reaction? The energy needed to break the chemical bonds of 1 mole of nitrogen and 3 moles of hydrogen is greater than the energy released by the formation of 3 moles of ammonia. The energy needed to break the chemical bonds of 1 mole of nitrogen and 3 moles of hydrogen is less than the energy released by the formation of 3 moles of ammonia. The energy released by breaking the chemical bonds of 1 mole of nitrogen and 3 moles of hydrogen is greater than the energy needed to form 3 moles of ammonia. The energy released by breaking the chemical bonds of 1 mole of nitrogen and 3 moles of hydrogen is less than the energy needed to form 3 moles of ammonia.arrow_forward
