Most of the sulfur used in the United States is chemically synthesized from hydrogen sulfide gas recovered from natural gas wells. In the first sterl of this synthesis, called the Claus process, hydrogen sulfide gas is reacted with dioxygen gas to produce gaseous sulfur dioxide and water. Suppose a chemical engineer studying a new catalyst for the Claus reaction finds that 772. liters per second of diaxygen are consumed when the reaction is run at 187. "C and the diaxygen is supplied at 0.83 atm. Calculate the rate at which sulfur dioxide is being produced. Give your answer in kilograms per second. Round your answer to 2 significant digits. OP

1.) This reaction occurs in large test tube at 32.0oC: 2 Al (s) + 3 H2SO4(aq) ---> 6 H2 (g) + Al2(SO4)3 (aq) A tube going through the stopper of the test tube feeds into a graduated cylinder that has been inverted in a tub of water. At the end of the reaction, the total pressure of gas in the inverted cylinder is 435. torr, and the volume of gas collected is 455. mL. What mass of aluminum must have reacted? P.s- please show how you got it. I get confused with it
The reform reaction between steam and gaseous methane (CH4) produces "synthesis gas," a mixture of carbon monoxide gas and dihydrogen gas. Synthesis gas is one of the most widely used industrial chemicals, and is the major industrial source of hydrogen. Suppose a chemical engineer studying a new catalyst for the reform reaction finds that 349. liters per second of methane are consumed when the reaction is run at 219. °℃ and the methane is supplied at 0.43 atm. Calculate the rate at which dihydrogen is being produced. Give your answer in kilograms per second. Be sure your answer has the correct number of significant digits. kg S x10 X Ś

A leak occurs in a chemical reactor with an equimolar mixture of O2, CH4, C3H9, CO, CO2 gases. After a few minutes, a CO detector located on the other side of that room, triggers an alarm. At that exact moment, select among the following sentences, THE ONE THAT APPLIES. O a The fraction of all these 5 gases left inside the container after the leak will remain equimolar. Ob. The CO was the first gas that made it to the detector because it is the lightest of them all Oc Methane was detected first because its lower molar mass makes its average kinetic energy lower. Od The concentration of CO2 is higher than that of the other gases because it is the heaviest molecule. Isure O e. Among the gases left inside the container, CH4 will be the one in smaller proportion.
The contents of the N2 piston are then transferred to the O2 piston, while maintaining the O2 piston at constant volume and constant temperature. Determine the final pressure of the gas mixture.
Solid ammonium chloride, NH,CI, is formed by the reaction of gaseous ammonia, NH,, and hydrogen chloride, HCI. NH, (g) + HCI(g) – NH,CI(s) A 3.43 g sample of NH, gas and a 3.43 g sample of HCI gas are mixed in a 1.50 L flask at 25 "C. Identify the limiting reagent. ONH,CI HCI NH, How many grams of NH, CI will be formed by this reaction? mass: What is the pressure in atmospheres of the gas remaining in the flask? Ignore the volume of solid NH Cl produced by the reaction.
If pressure is expressed in atmospheres and volume is expressed in liters, PAV has units of L atm (liters x atmospheres). Remember that 1 atm 101,325 Pa, and that 1 L = 1 dm³. Use this information to determine the number of joules corresponding to 2L atm. eTextbook and Media Savo for Lotor
