Chapter 13, Problem 45E
Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

A chemical reaction, showing the formation of sulfuric acid in the atmosphere is to be written.

Concept Introduction:

Acid rain is the result of air pollution. The harmful gases released from factories, vehicles, and power stations react with the moisture present in the atmosphere, in the presence of oxygen, and forms acid rain.

Gases, especially sulfur dioxide and nitrogen oxide, contribute to the formation of acid rain.

Usually the pH of acid rain varies from 4.0 to 4.6.

3. Titanium(III) chloride can be used to catalyze the polymerization of ethylene. It is prepared by hydrogen reduction of Titanium(IV) chloride. Reaction of hydrogen gas with titanium(IV) chloride gas produces solid titanium(III) chloride and hydrogen chloride gas. (a) Write a BALANCED chemical reaction for the preparation of titanium(III) chloride (b) A 250 L reaction vessel at 325°C is filled with hydrogen gas to a pressure of 1.3 atm. Titanium(IV) chloride is then added to bring the total pressure to 3.00 atm. How many grams of titanium(III) chloride will be produced after completion of the reaction? (c) What will be the pressure of the resulting hydrogen chloride gas that is also produced?
1. Sodium azide (NaN3) is the primary chemical substance used in automobile air bags. Upon impact, the decomposition of sodium azide is initiated to produce sodium metal and nitrogen gas which then inflates the bag. How many liters of nitrogen gas are produced at 1.15 atm and 30.0°C when 145.0 grams of sodium azide decomposes? 2. Calcium carbonate (such as that in limestone) reacts with aqueous hydrochloric acid to produce carbon dioxide, aqueous calcium chloride and water. How many liters of carbon dioxide are produced at 20°C and 745 torr when 3.583 grams of calcium carbonate is dissolved in solution containing 1.550 grams of hydrochloric acid?
Show all work (where appropriate) for full credit. 1. Describe (steps, equipment and quantities) how to accurately prepare 250.0 mL of a 0.0075 M solution of NaCl (aq) from a 500 mL, 0.0500 M stock solution. 2. Describe (steps, equipment and quantities) how to accurately prepare 250.0 mL of a 0.0075 M solution of NaCl (aq) from 100 g of solid NaCl.
