Chapter 4, Problem 81GQ
Your body deals with excess nitrogen by excreting it in the form of urea, NH2CONH2. The reaction producing it is the combination of arginine (C6H14N4O2) with water to give urea and ornithine (C5H12N2O2).
If you excrete 95 mg of urea, what mass of arginine must have been used? What mass of ornithine must have been produced?

Suppose you are hired by the Environmental Protection Agency as an engineer to measure sulfur dioxide (SO2) emissions in a small industrial power plant. And suppose you analyze a gas sample and get the following composition: 75.66% N2, 10.24% CO2, 8.27% H2O, 5.75% O2, and 0.0825% SO2. You show these figures to the factory clerk the next day, and he insists that this analysis is erroneous and states that the fuel is natural gas, contains methane and ethane and does not contain sulfur. You ask if another fuel is used, and sometimes they say they use fuel as fuel, but at the time of analysis they say that this fuel is not used. However, your measurements show that the enterprise is using fuel at the time of measurement, and the responsible person accepts this later and accepts that they have made mistakes.a) Calculate the molar ratio of carbon / hydrogen in the fuel and use the result to prove that the fuel cannot be natural gas.b) Assuming that C, H and S are the elements present in the…
Hydrazine, N2H4, is produced commercially by the reaction of ammonia, NH3, with sodium hypochlorite (the Raschig synthesis). Assuming that all of the nitrogen in ammonia ends up in hydrazine, calculate how many metric tons of hydrazine can be produced from 80.5 metric tons of NH3.
A metric ton is equal to 1000 kg.
In the synthesis of hexaaminenickel (II) chloride as in the equation below, a student weighed 3.893 g of Nickel(II) Chloride Hexahydrate, dissolved it in water and reacted it with an excess of concentrated ammonia solution. She isolated 2.468 g of the desired product.
Nickel(II) Chloride Hexahydrate + 6 NH3 → hexaaminenickel (II) chloride + 6 H2O
(Note: The molar mass of Nickel(II) Chloride Hexahydrate is 237.7 g/mol and the molar mass of the hexaaminenickel (II) chloride is 231.7 g/mol.)
Calculate the percent yield of the reaction.

- The present average concentration (mass percent) of magnesium ions in seawater is 0.13%.
