Metallic molybdenum can be produced from the mineral molybednite, MoS2. The mineral is first oxidized Im air to molybdenum trioxide and sulfur dioxide. Molybdenum trioxide is then reduced to metallic molybdenum using hydrogen gas and yielding water as the other product. Calculate the volumes of air and H2 at 17°C and 1.00 atm that are necessary to produce 1.00 x 10’ kg of pure Mo from MOS2. Assume that air contains 21% oxygen by volume and also assume that both the oxidation and reduction reactions are quantitative.

An empty flask weighs 130.084 g. After vaporization of a sample of volatile liquid at a temperature of 100.0 °C, the flask was sealed, cooled to room temperature, and found to have a mass of 130.316 g. The atmospheric pressure was 759.7 mm Hg. The flask was rinsed and completely filled with water at 18.0 °C. The mass of the water-filled flask was determined to be 379.551 g. What is the pressure of the gas that fills the flask in atmospheres? (Enter your answer as a number without units.)
The Haber Process synthesizes ammonia at elevated temperatures and pressures.

Sulfuric acid is essential to dozens of important industries from steelmaking to plastics and pharmaceuticals. More sulfuric acid is made than any other industrial chemical, and world production exceeds 2.0 × 10¹¹ kg per year. The first step in the synthesis of sulfuric acid is usually burning solid sulfur to make sulfur dioxide gas. Suppose an engineer studying this reaction introduces 3.1 kg of solid sulfur and 10.0 atm of oxygen gas at 800. °C into an evacuated 70.0 L tank. The engineer believes K = 0.98 for the reaction at this temperature. Calculate the mass of solid sulfur he expects to be consumed when the reaction reaches equilibrium. Round your answer to 2 significant digits. Note for advanced students: the engineer may be mistaken in his belief about the value of K, and the consumption of sulfur you calculate may not be what he actually observes. p' kg ☐ x10 ×
