Nitric acid is often manufactured from the atmospheric gases nitrogen and oxygen, plus hydrogen prepared by reforming of natural gas, in a two-step process. In the first step, nitrogen and hydrogen react to form ammonia: N,(9)+3 H,(g)→2 NH,(g) In the second step, ammonia and oxygen react to form nitric acid and water: NH,(g)+20,(g)→HNO,(g)+H,O(g) Write the net chemical equation for the production of nitric acid from nitrogen, hydrogen and oxygen. Be sure your equation is balanced.

A student decides to find the molar enthalpy for the reaction between phosphoric acid and calcium hydroxide. They have a 0.250 M solution of Ca(OH)2, which they will use; they can only find a 2.9 M stock solution of H3PO4. If they want 200 mL of a 0.31 M solution of H3PO4, how many mL of the stock solution should they use to prepare their solution by diluting the stock? Give your answer to the nearest mL.

Do the follow reactions depict Heat of Formation Reactions? If so, mark the reaction as YES, if it is not a Heat of Formation Reaction, then choose NO. ✓3/2 H₂(g) + P(s) → PH3(g) H₂(g) + 1/2O₂(g) → H₂O(g) Al(s) + 3/2 Br₂(1)→ AlBr3(S) Na(s) + H₂O(1)→ NaOH(aq) + 1/2 H₂(g) ✓2As(s) + 5/2 O₂(g) → As2O5(s) In formation reactions the reactants must be elements in their most common states, and the only product is one mole of the substance of interest.
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.) How do I do this?
Aspirin can be made in the laboratory by reacting acetic anhydride (C4H6O3) with salicylic acid (C7H6O3) to form aspirin (C9H8O4) and acetic acid (C2H4O2). The balanced equation is:C4H6O3+C7H6O3→C9H8O4+C2H4O2.In a laboratory synthesis, a student begins with 5.00 mL of acetic anhydride (density = 1.08 g / mL) and 2.08 g of salicylic acid. Once the reaction is complete, the student collects 2.14 g of aspirin. -Determine the limiting reactant for the reaction.Express your answer as a chemical formula. -Determine the theoretical yield of aspirin for the reaction. -
Both animals and plants rely on stored energy for survivalAnimals can store energy in the form of sugars from the consumption of other matter. Plants the other hand, utilize photosynthesis to produce sugar (glucose). Following storage, the sugars can then be used to provide energy for various functions within the organism. This is referred to as the burning of sugar shown in the chemical reaction below: C 6 H 12 O 6 (s)+O 2 (g) CO 2 (g)+H 2 O(g) 3. Complete the following questions based on the reaction above representing burning sugar: . Balance the chemical equation representing sugar burning (reaction above). b.
