- Pyruvic acid, HC3H3O3, is involved in cell metabolism. It can be assayed for (that is, the amount of it determined) by using a yeast enzyme. The enzyme makes the following reaction go to completion: HC3H3O3(aq)C2H4O(aq)+CO2(g) If a sample containing pyruvic acid gives 21.2 mL of carbon dioxide gas, CO2, at 349 mmHg and 30C, how many grams of pyruvic acid are there in the sample?arrow_forward47 HCl(g) reacts with ammonia gas, NH3(g), to form solid ammonium chloride. If a sample of ammonia occupying 250 mL at 21 C and a pressure of 140 torr is allowed to react with excess HCl, what mass of NH4Cl will form?arrow_forwardA mixture contained zinc sulfide, ZnS, and lead sulfide, PbS. A sample of the mixture weighing 6.12 g was reacted with an excess of hydrochloric acid. The reactions are ZnS(s)+2HCL(aq)ZnCl2(aq)+H2S(g)PbS(s)+2HCL(aq)PbCl2(aq)+H2S(g) If the sample reacted completely and produced 1.049 L of hydrogen sulfide, H2S, at 23C and 762 mmHg, what were the percentages of ZnS and PbS in the mixture?arrow_forward
- 52 If tetraborane, B4H10, is treated with pure oxygen, it burns to give B2O3 and H2O: 2B4H10(s)+11O2(g)4B2O3(s)+10H2O(g) If a 0.050-g sample of tetraborane burns completely in O2, what will be the pressure of the gaseous water in a 4.25-L flask at 30.0 C?arrow_forwardAmmonia gas is synthesized by combining hydrogen and nitrogen: 3 H2(g) + N2(g) 2 NH3(g) (a) If you want to produce 562 g of NH3, what volume of H2 gas, at 56 C and 745 mm Hg, is required? (b) Nitrogen for this reaction will be obtained from air. What volume of air, measured at 29 C and 745 mm Hg pressure, will be required to provide the nitrogen needed to produce 562 g of NH3? Assume the sample of air contains 78.1 mole % N2.arrow_forwardNitrogen trifluoride is prepared by the reaction of ammonia and fluorine. 4 NH3(g) + 3 F2(g) 3 NH4F(s) + NF3(g) If you mix NH3 with F2 in the correct stoichiometric ratio, and if the total pressure of the mixture is 120 mm Hg, what are the partial pressures of NH3 and F2? When the reactants have been completely consumed, what is the total pressure in the flask? (Assume T is constant.)arrow_forward
- Methanol (CH3OH) can be produced by the following reaction: CO(g)+2H2(g)CH3OH(g) Hydrogen at STP flows into a reactor at a rate of 16.0 L/min. Carbon monoxide at STP flows into the reactor at a rate of 25.0 L/min. If 5.30 g methanol is produced per minute, what is the percent yield of the reaction?arrow_forward105 The decomposition of mercury(II) thiocyanate produces an odd brown snake-like mass that is so unusual the process was once used in fireworks displays. There are actually several reactions that take place when the solid Hg(SCN)2 is ignited: 2Hg(SCN)2(s)2HgS(s)+CS2(s)+C3N4(s)CS2(s)+3O2(g)CO2(g)+2SO2(g)2C3N4(s)3(CN)2(g)+N2(g)HgS(s)+O2(g)Hg(l)+SO2(g) A 42.4-g sample of Hg(SCN)2 is placed into a 2.4-L vessel at 21°C. The vessel also contains air at a pressure of 758 torr. The container is sealed and the mixture is ignited, causing the reaction sequence above to occur. Once the reaction is complete, the container is cooled back to the original temperature of 21°C. (a) Without doing numerical calculations, predict whether the final pressure in the vessel will be greater than, less than, or equal to the initial pressure. Explain your answer. (b) Calculate the final pressure and compare your result with your prediction. (Assume that the mole fraction of O2 in air is 0.21.)arrow_forwardThe hydrocarbon octane (C8H18) bums to give CO2 and water vapor: 2 C8H18(g) + 25 O2(g) 16 CO2(g) + 18 H2O(g) If a 0.048-g sample of octane burns completely in O2, what will be the pressure of water vapor in a 4.75-L flask at 30.0 C? If the O2 gas needed for complete combustion was contained in a 4.75-L flask at 22 C, what would its pressure be?arrow_forward
- A 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_forwardYou have a gas, one of the three known phosphorus-fluorine compounds (PF3, PF3, and P2F4). To find out which, you have decided to measure its molar mass. (a) First, yon determine that the density of the gas is 5.60 g/L at a pressure of 0.971 atm and a temperature of 18.2 C. Calculate the molar mass and identify the compound. (b) To check the results from part (a), you decide to measure the molar mass based on the relative rales of effusion of the unknown gas and CO2. You find that CO2 effuses at a rate of 0.050 mol/min, whereas the unknown phosphorus fluoride effuses at a rate of 0.028 mol/min. Calculate the molar mass of the unknown gas based on these results.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?
