4) Zinc oxide can be produced by the following reaction: 2 Zn (s) + O2(g) 2 ZnO (s) - There are many uses for ZnO, but one is a heat- reflective coating on windows (thus lowering cooling demands in hot climates). This coating requires a thin layer (approximately 40-50 µm thick) of zinc oxide. Assume that this thin film uses 1.9x1020 Zn atoms per cm² of surface. How many grams of ZnO are added to a window that has an area of 5500 cm²? g Zno
The "barking dog" reaction is an exciting combustion reaction that generates a bright blue flame because sulfur is produced during the reaction (sulfur burns blue!). At the end of the reaction, a "woosh" sound is made which sounds like a dogs bark (hence the name of the reaction). Assume the reaction is carried out in a closed container. CS₂2 +4N₂O CO₂ + SO₂ + S + 4N₂ Note: the equation is balanced How many moles of CO₂ can you generate if you were to carry out the reaction with 8.28 g CS₂?
Phosgene, a substance used in poisonous gas warfare during World War I, is so named because it was first prepared by theaction of sunlight on a mixture of carbon monoxide and chlorine gases. Its name comes from the Greek words phos (light) andgenes (born of). Phosgene has the following elemental composition: 12.14% C, 16.17% O, and 71.69% Cl by mass. Its molarmass is 98.9 g>mol. (a) Determine the molecular formula of this compound. (b) Draw three Lewis structures for the moleculethat satisfy the octet rule for each atom. (The Cl and O atoms bond to C.) (c) Using formal charges, determine which Lewisstructure is the dominant one. (d) Using average bond enthalpies, estimate ΔH for the formation of gaseous phosgene fromCO(g) and Cl21g2.
