EBK CHEMICAL PRINCIPLES
- Phosphoric acid, H3PO4, can be prepared by the reaction of phosphorus(V) oxide, P4O10, with water. 14P4O10(s)+32H2O(l)H3PO4(aq);H=96.2kJ What is H for the reaction involving 1 mol of P4O10? P4O10(s)+6H2O(l)4H3PO4(aq)arrow_forwardWrite a balanced equation for (a) the combustion (reaction with oxygen gas) of glucose, C6H12O6, to give carbon dioxide and water. (b) the reaction between xenon tetrafluoride gas and water to give xenon, oxygen, and hydrogen fluoride gases. (c) the reaction between aluminum and iron(III) oxide to give aluminum oxide and iron. (d) the formation of ammonia gas from its elements. (e) the reaction between sodium chloride, sulfur dioxide gas, steam, and oxygen to give sodium sulfate and hydrogen chloride gas.arrow_forwardYou take 1.00 g of an aspirin tablet (a compound consisting solely of carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen), burn it in air, and collect 2.20 g CO2 and 0.400 g H2O. You know that the molar mass of aspirin is between 170 and 190 g/mol. Reacting 1 mole of salicylic acid with I mole of acetic anhydride (C4H6O3) gives you 1 mole of aspirin and 1 mole of acetic acid (C2H4O2). Use this information to determine the molecular formula of salicylic acid.arrow_forward
- Chlorine exists mainly as two isotopes, 37Cl and 33Cl. Which is more abundant? How do you know?arrow_forwardA sample of sandstone consists of silica, SiO2, and calcite, CaCO3. When the sandstone is heated, calcium carbonate, CaCO3, decomposes into calcium oxide, CaO, and carbon dioxide CaCO3(s)CaO(s)+CO2(g) What is the percentage of silica in the sandstone if 18.7 mg of the rock yields 3.95 mg of carbon dioxide?arrow_forwardNitrogen fixation in the root nodules of peas and other legumes occurs with a reaction involving a molybdenum-containing enzyme named nitrogenase. This enzyme contains two Mo atoms per molecule and is 0.0872% Mo by mass. Calculate the molar mass of the enzyme.arrow_forward
- Tungsten (W) metal, which is used to make incandescent bulb filaments, is produced by the reaction WO3+3H23H2O+W How many grams of H2 are needed to produce 1.00 g of W?arrow_forwardWhat is the mass of fish, in kilograms, that one would have to consume to obtain a fatal dose of mercury, if the fish contains 30 parts per million of mercury by weight? (Assume that all the mercury from the fish ends up as mercury (II) chloride in the body and that a fatal dose is 0.20 g of HgCl2.) How many pounds of fish is this?arrow_forwardHydrogen cyanide is produced industrially from the reaction of gaseous ammonia, oxygen, and methane: 2NH3(g)+3O2(g)+2CH4(g)2HCN(g)+6H2O(g) If 5.00 103 kg each of NH3, O2, and CH4 are reacted, what mass of HCN and of H2O will be produced, assuming 100% yield?arrow_forward
