Concept explainers
A sample of zinc metal reacts completely with an excess of hydrochloric acid:
The hydrogen gas produced is collected over water at 25.0°C using an arrangement similar to that shown in Figure 5.15. The volume of the gas is 7.80 L, and the pressure is 0.980 atm. Calculate the amount of zinc metal in grams consumed in the reaction. (Vapor pressure of water at 25°C = 23.8 mmHg.)

Chemistry
- Nitrogen 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_forwardA 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_forwardNitroglycerin decomposes into four different gases when detonated: 4 C3H5(NO3)3() 6 N2(g) + O2(g) + 12 CO2(g) + 10 H2O(g) The detonation of a small quantity of nitroglycerin produces a total pressure of 4.2 atm at a temperature of 450 C. (a) What is the partial pressure of N2? (b) If the gases occupy a volume of 1.5 L, what mass of nitroglycerin was detonated?arrow_forward
- A mixture contained calcium carbonate, CaCO3, and magnesium carbonate, MgCO3. A sample of this mixture weighing 7.85 g was reacted with excess hydrochloric acid. The reactions are CaCO3(g)+2HCL(aq)CaCl2(aq)+H2O(I)+CO2(g)MgCO3(s)+2HCL(aq)MgCl2(aq)+H2O(I)+CO2(g) If the sample reacted completely and produced 1.94 L of carbon dioxide, CO2, at 25C and 785 mmHg, what were the percentages of CaCO3 and MgCO3 in the mixture?arrow_forward52 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_forward
