- How does hydraulic fracturing differ from previously used techniques for the recovery of natural gas from the earth?arrow_forwardIf you place 2.25 g of solid silicon in a 6.56-L flask that contains CH3Cl with a pressure of 585 mm Hg at 25 C, what mass of dimethyldichlorosilane, (CH3)2SiCl2, can be formed? Si(s) + 2 CH3Cl(g) (CH3)2SiCl2(g) What pressure of (CH3)2SiCl2(g) would you expect in this same flask at 95 C on completion of the reaction? (Dimethyldichlorosilane is one starting material used to make silicones, polymeric substances used as lubricants, antistick agents, and water-proofing caulk.)arrow_forwardPyruvic 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_forward
- Chlorine can be prepared in the laboratory by the reaction of manganese dioxide with hydrochloric acid, HCl(aq), as described by the chemical equation MnO2(s)+4HCl(aq)⟶MnCl2(aq)+2H2O(l)+Cl2(g) How much MnO2(s) should be added to excess HCl(aq) to obtain 335 mL Cl2(g) at 25 °C and 1.00×102 kPa ? mass: ______g MnO2arrow_forwardA 2.50 L sample of butane gas (C4H10), measured at 22.0 ºC and 1.20 atm pressure, is combusted completely and the carbon dioxide gas collected at the same pressure and temperature. What volume of CO2 is produced?arrow_forwardYou are heating potassium perchlorate and collecting the oxygen gas from the decomposition over water. Write the equation here! 2 KClO3(s) ----------> 2KCl (s) + 3O2 (g) 2. Mass of sample: 0.398 g Ambient pressure: 752.3 mmHg Volume of gas: 81.4 mL Room temperature: 18.9 degrees Celsius 3. Using the mass of your KClO4 sample, and the balanced equation, calculate the theoretical yield of O2 gas in grams. 4. With vapor pressure of water versus temperature, find the vapor pressure of water at your temperature: Vapor pressure of water at given temperature:arrow_forward
- Hh.125.arrow_forwardWhat volume of oxygen will be required for the complete combustion of 54 L of hydrogen if both gases are measured at the same temperature and pressure. 4 H2 (g) + 2 O2 (g) → 4 H2O (l)arrow_forwardDescribe in your own words the Kinetic Molecular Theory of gases. The Kinetic Molecular Theory of gases tells us that the energy content of any gas is related only to its temperature. It also tells us that it is possible to compute the "RMS" (root mean squared) velocity of any gas molecule if you know its formula weight and its temperature. Using this information describe how you might compute the RMS velocity of sulfur dioxide (SO2) in the atmosphere of the planet Venus (T = 820 F), the RMS velocity of oxygen (O2) in the atmosphere of Earth (T = 50 F), or the RMS velocity of carbon dioxide (CO2) in the atmosphere of Mars (T = - 80 F).arrow_forward
- Concrete is prepared by roasting the mineral calcium carbonate, CaCO3, to drive off CO2 and produce calcium oxide, CaO. The chemical equation for this reaction is: CaCO3 ==> CaO + CO2 The Grand Coulee Dam on the Columbia River in Washington State was built using a volume of concrete of approximately 1.0 x 107 m3. If concrete has a density of 2.4 x 103 kg/m3, and assuming concrete is 100% by volume CaO, how much CO2 was released producing the concrete used to build the dam?arrow_forwardConsider the following reaction: 4 Al(s) + 3 O2(g) → 2 Al2O3(s) It takes 2.00 L of pure oxygen at STP (0 oC, 1 atm) to react completely with a certain sample of aluminum. What is the mass (in g) of the aluminum reacted? (PV = nRT)arrow_forwardWhat mass of water can be produced from 3.5 x 102 g H2 gas and an excess of O2 gas?arrow_forward
