Urea (H2NCONH2) is used extensively as a nitrogen source in fertilizers. It is produced commercially from the reaction of ammonia and carbon dioxide:
Ammonia gas at 223°C and 90. atm flows into a reactor at a rate of 500. L/min. Carbon dioxide at 223°C and 45 atm flows into the reactor at a rate of 600. L/min. What mass of urea is produced per minute by this reaction assuming 100% yield?

- 97 Homes in rural areas where natural gas service is not available often rely on propane to fuel kitchen ranges. The propane is stored as a liquid, and the gas to be burned is produced as the liquid evaporates. Suppose an architect has hired you to consult on the choice of a propane tank for such a new home. The propane gas consumed in 1.0 hour by a typical range burner at high power would occupy roughly 165 L at 25°C and 1.0 atm, and the range chosen by the client will have six burners. If the tank under consideration holds 500.0 gallons of liquid propane, what is the minimum number of hours it would take for the range to consume an entire tankful of propane? The density of liquid propane is 0.5077 kg/L.arrow_forwardHelium gas, He, at 22C and 1.00 atm occupied a vessel whose volume was 2.54 L. What volume would this gas occupy if it were cooled to liquid-nitrogen temperature (197C)?arrow_forwardA cylinder of compressed gas is labeled Composition (mole %): 4.5% H2S, 3.0% CO2, balance N2. The pressure gauge attached to the cylinder reads 46 atm. Calculate the partial pressure of each gas, in atmospheres, in the cylinder.arrow_forward

(a) Write the balanced chemical equation for the combustion of isooctane. (b) The density of isooctane is 0.792 g/mL. How many kg of C02 are produced each year by the annual U.S. gasoline consumption of L? (c) What is the volume in liters of this CO2 at STP? (d) The chemical formula for isooctane can be represented by (CH3)3CCH2CH(CH3)2. Draw a Lewis structure of isooctane. (e) Another molecule with the same molecular formula is octane, which can be represented by: When comparing isooctane and octane, one structure is observed to have a boiling point of 99°C, while another is known to have a boiling point Of 125°C. Which substance, isooctane or octane, is expected to have the higher boiling point? (f) Determine whether isooctane or octane is expected to have the greater vapor pressure.arrow_forwardAcetone peroxide, C9H18O6(s), is a powerful but highly unstable explosive that does not contain nitrogen. It can pass undetected through scanners designed to detect the presence of nitrogen in explosives like TNT (trinitrotoluene, C7H5N3O6), or ammonium nitrate. (a) Write a balanced equation for the combustion (burning in oxygen) of acetone peroxide producing steam and carbon dioxide. (b) What pressure is generated in a 2.00-L bottle when 5.00 g of acetone peroxide is ignited to 555C and burned in air? Assume 100% combustion.arrow_forward
- Raoul Pictet, the Swiss physicist who first liquefied oxygen, attempted to liquefy hydrogen. He heated potassium formate, KCHO2, with KOH in a closed 2.50-Lvessel. KCHO2(s)+KOH(s)K2CO3(s)+H2(g) If 75.0 g of potassium formate reacts in a 2.50-L vessel, which was initially evacuated, what pressure of hydrogen will be attained when the temperature is finally cooled to 25C? Use the preceding chemical equation and ignore the volume of solid product.arrow_forwardEthanol, the alcohol used in automobile fuels, is produced by the fermentation of sugars present in plants. Corn is often used as the sugar source. The following equation represents the fermentation of glucose, the sugar in corn, by yeast to produce ethanol and carbon dioxide. C6H12O6(aq)2C2H5OH(aq)+2CO2(g) Ethanol is combusted in an automobile engine according to the equation C2H5OH(l)+3O2(g)2CO2(g)+3H2O(g) What would be the total volume of CO2 gas formed at STP when 3.00 kg of sugar is fermented and the ethanol is then combusted in an automobile engine?arrow_forward
