- Copper reacts with nitric acid according to the following reaction. 3Cu(s)+8HNO3(aq)3Cu(NO3)2(aq)+2NO(g)+4H2O(l) If 2.40 g of Cu is added to a container with 2.00 mL of concentrated nitric acid (70% by mass HNO3; density = 1.42 g/cm3), what mass of nitrogen monoxide gas will be produced?arrow_forward4-77 To convert 1 mol of iron(III) oxide to its elements requires 196.5 kcal: How many grams of iron can be produced if 156.0 kcal of heat is absorbed by a large-enough sample of iron(III) oxide?arrow_forward4.69 The pictures below show a molecular-scale view of a chemical reaction between H2 and CO to produce methanol, CH3OH. The box on the left represents the reactants at the instant of mixing, and the box on the right shows what is left once the reaction has gone to completion. Was there a limiting reactant in this reaction? If so, what was it? Write a balanced chemical equation for this reaction. As usual, your equation should use the smallest possible whole number coefficients for all substances.arrow_forward
- Emissions from the burning of fossil fuels are often reported as gigatons ( Gt ) of carbon. In a calendar year, China emitted 2.9 Gt of carbon while the Unites States released 1.5 Gt of carbon. To what mass in gigatons of CO2CO2 do these amounts of carbon correspond?arrow_forwardWhen in danger, bombardier beetles can fire a hot, toxic mixture of chemicals at their attacker. This mixture contains quinone, C6H4O2, a compound that is formed by the reaction of hydroquinone, CH4(OH)2, with hydrogen peroxide, H2O2. The equation for the overall reaction is: CH4(OH)2(aq) + H2O2(aq) → C6H4O2(aq) + 2H2O(ℓ) Use the following data to calculate the enthalpy change, in kJ mol-1 , for the above reaction. CH4(OH)2(aq) → C6H4O2 (aq) + H2(g) ΔH = +177.4 kJ mol−1 H2(g) + O2(g) → H2O2(aq) ΔH = −191.2 kJ mol−1 H2(g) + ½O2(g) → H2O(g) ΔH = −241.8 kJ mol−1 H2O(g) → H2O(ℓ) ΔH = −43.8 kJ mol−1arrow_forwardAn industrial-scale process for making acetylene consists of the following sequence of operations: CaCO3 → CaO + CO2limestone lime carbon dioxideCaO + 3 C → CaC2 + CO calcium carbide carbon monoxideCaC2 + 2 H2O → Ca(OH)2 + C2H2 calcium acetylene hydroxide What is the percentage yield of the overall process if 2.32 metric tons C2H2 is produced from 10.0 metric tons limestone (1 metric ton 5 1000 kg)?arrow_forward
- On January 28, 2014, in Germany, a barn containing 90 cows exploded when a stray spark caught the methane trapped in the building on fire. The building was damaged and one cow was slightly injured with minor burns. Assume that the 90 cows were producing 250L of methane per day and that there was a 15 hour collection in the barn when it ignited. __CH4 + __O2 → __ CO2 + __H2O a) How many liters of methane was in the barn when it exploded? b) What mass of water was generated in the explosion? (SET WORK INTO TRAIN TRACKS)arrow_forwardPotassium chromate, a bright yellow solid, is produced by the reaction of solid chromium ore (FeCr2O4) with solid potassium carbonate and gaseous oxygen at high temperatures. The other products of the reaction are solid iron (III) oxide and gaseous carbon dioxide. If you use 169.0g of chromium ore, 298.0g of potassium carbonate and 75.00g of oxygen in a sealed reaction vessel, what is the limiting reagent? Give the theoretical yield of potassium chromate, in grams, for each one.arrow_forwardImagine that you are given 0.2500 g of a sample of copper(II) sulfate pentahydrate (CuSO4 • 5 H2O). You very carefully heat the compound for an extended period of time to drive off water, after which you determine the mass of the remaining solid to be 0.1598 g. Determine whether the data given confirm the formula of the hydrate. You must show any relevant calculationarrow_forward
- You are given a crushed sample that is a mixture of limestone (calcium carbonate), lime (calcium oxide), and sand. The calcium carbonate, or limestone, is the only material present in the mixture that will decompose when heated. You subject a 6.0685 g sample of the mixture to strong heating and after the sample reaches constant mass (no more mass is lost with additional heating), the sample has a final weight of 3.9247 g. What is the percentage of calcium carbonate present in the original mixture? (MW of calcium carbonate = 100.1 g/mol) Equation for reaction = CaCO3(s) -> CaO(s) + CO2(g).arrow_forwardDuring photosynthesis plants use light energy from the sun to convert carbon dioxide and water into glucose and oxygen. This process is the reverse of the combustion of glucose (C6H12O6). In a photosynthesis experiment you determine that a particular plant consumes 107.2 g of CO2 in one week. Assuming that the reaction is not limited by the amount of water available to the plant, how many grams of glucose can the plant synthesize from the amount of carbon dioxide consumed? Express your answer to 2 decimal places.arrow_forwardYour lab partner accidentally mixed some sodium chloride with your sample of Epsom salts (MgSO₄・7H₂O). You want to make a standard solution of magnesium ion, and this is the only sample of a magnesium salt you have. To determine the amount of magnesium salt in the mixture, you heat 100.00 g to drive off the water of hydration and find that the anhydrous mixture has a mass of 57.75 g. How many grams of the original salt mixture must you add to 1.000 L of water to make a 0.100 M solution of Mg²⁺ ion?arrow_forward
