10 Ethylene (CH, CH,) is the starting point for a wide array of industrial chemical syntheses. For example, worldwide about 8.0 x 10° kg of polyethylene are made from ethylene each year, for use in everything from household plumbing to artificial joints. Natural sources of ethylene are entirely inadequate to meet world demand, so ethane (CH,CH,) from natural gas is "cracked" in refineries at high temperature in a kinetically complex reaction that produces ethylene gas and hydrogen gas. Suppose an engineer studying ethane cracking fills a 60.0 L reaction tank with 22.0 atm of ethane gas and raises the temperature to 500. °C. She believes K =0.050 at this temperature. Calculate the percent by mass of ethylene the engineer expects to find in the equilibrium gas mixture. Round your answer to 2 significant digits. Note for advanced students: the engineer may be mistaken about the correct value of K, and the mass percent of ethylene you calculate may not be what she actually observes.

The psychoactive drug methamphetamine ("speed"), which is sold as the prescription medication Desoxyn, C10H15N, under- goes a series of reactions in the body; the net result of these reac- tions is the oxidation of solid methamphetamine by oxygen gas to produce carbon dioxide gas, liquid water, and an aqueous solution of urea, CH4N₂O. Write the balanced equation for this net reaction.
1. More than 2000 years ago human cultures figured out a way to produce iron metal from rocks containing iron ores. This iron could be worked by a blacksmith (repeated heating and hammering) to make iron metal pure enough for creating useful tools (even Samurai swords). This direct heating technique was common up until about 200 years ago when people found a better way to obtain iron metal. When hematite, Fe2O3(s), is strongly heated in a blast furnace in the presence of charcoal (carbon), pure iron metal is obtained. Fe2O3() 2 Fe(s) + 3/2 O2 (g) (1) C(s) + O2 (g) → CO2(g) (2) When reaction 1 is coupled to reaction 2, overall chemical equation is Fe2O3() + 3/2 C() 3/2 CO2(g) + 2 Fee) Use the thermodynamic data given below for the following calculations: AG¡ (kJ/mol) | 4H¡ (kJ/mol) | S (J/mol-K) Fe2O3(s) -742.2 -824.2 87.40 Fes) 27.28 CO2(8) -394.36 -393.51 213.74 C (6) 5.74 O2 (2) 205.14 a) Calculate the standard Gibb's free energy change for reaction 1 b) Calculate the standard Gibb’s…

The great French chemist Antoine Lavoisier discovered the Law of Conservation of Mass in part by doing a famous experiment in 1775. In this experiment Lavoisier found that mercury(II) oxide, when heated, decomposed into liquid mercury and an invisible and previously unknown substance: oxygen gas. 1. Write a balanced chemical equation, including physical state symbols, for the decomposition of solid mercury(II) oxide (HgO) into liquid mercury and gaseous dioxygen. 2. Suppose 53.0mL of dioxygen gas are produced by this reaction, at a temperature of 50.0°C and pressure of exactly 1atm. Calculate the mass of mercury(II) oxide that must have reacted. Be sure your answer has the correct number of significant digits.
Dry ice is solid carbon dioxide. Instead of melting, solid carbondioxide sublimes according to the equation:CO2(s) ------------>CO2(g) When dry ice is added to warm water, heat from the water causesthe dry ice to sublime more quickly. The evaporating carbon dioxide produces a dense fog often used to create special effects. In a simple dry ice fog machine, dry ice is added to warm water in a Styrofoam cooler. The dryice produces fog until it evaporates away, or until the water gets too cold to sublime the dry ice quickly enough. A small Styrofoam cooler holds15.0 L of water heated to 85°C. Use standard enthalpies of formation to calculate the change in enthalpy for dry ice sublimation, and calculate themass of dry ice that should be added to the water so that the dry ice completely sublimes away when the water reaches 25 °C. Assume no heat loss to the surroundings. (The ∆H°f for CO2(s) is -427.4 kJ/mol.)

Mercury is an environmental pollutant because it can be converted by certain bacteria into the very poisonous substance dimethyl mercury, (CH3)2Hg. This compound ends up in the food chain and accumulates in the tissues of aquatic organisms, particularly fish, which renders them unsafe to eat. It is estimated that in the United States, 241 tons of mercury are released into the atmosphere each year. If only 1.9 percent of this mercury is eventually changed to (CH3)2Hg, how many pounds of this compound are formed annually?
