- What possible uses exist for the natural gas liquids that are removed from natural gas during its processing?arrow_forwardYou have two pressure-proof steel cylinders of equal volume, one containing 1.0 kg of CO and the other containing 1.0 kg of acetylene, C2H2. (a) In which cylinder is the pressure greater at 25 C? (b) Which cylinder contains the greater number of molecules?arrow_forwardEnter your answer in the provided box. A piece of sodium metal reacts completely with water as follows: 2 Na(s)+2H2O(l)->2NaOH(aq)+H2(g)The hydrogen gas generated is collected over water at 23.0\ deg C. The volume of the gas is 291 mL measured at 0.965 atm. Calculate the number of grams of sodium used in the reaction. (The vapor pressure of water at 23.0\deg C=0.027 atm.)arrow_forward
- 73. A 500.-mL sample of O2 gas at 24 °C was prepared by decomposing a 3% aqueous solution of hydrogen peroxide, H2 O2, in the presence of a small amount of manganese catalyst by the reaction 2H2 O2 (aq) → 2H2O (g) + The oxygen thus prepared was collected by displacement of water. The total pressure of gas collected was 755 mm Hg. What is the partial pressure of O2 in the mixture? How many moles of O2 are in the mixture? (The vapor pressure of water at 24 °C is 23 mm Hg.)arrow_forwardOxygen gas can be prepared by heating potassium chlorate according to the following equation:2KClO3(s)2KCl(s) + 3O2(g)The product gas, O2, is collected over water at a temperature of 25 °C and a pressure of 757 mm Hg. If the wet O2 gas formed occupies a volume of 8.90 L, the number of moles of KClO3 reacted was mol. The vapor pressure of water is 23.8 mm Hg at 25 °C.arrow_forwardIf helium is released into one end of a glass tube of 2.00 meters at the same time krypton is released into the other end of the tube, how far from the helium end will the two gasses meet?arrow_forward
- A gaseous mixture of O2 and N2 contains 35.8 % nitrogen by mass. What is the partial pressure of oxygen (in atm) in the mixture if the total pressure is 1 atm? Assume ideal behavior.arrow_forwardWhen solid calcium carbonate is reacted with aqueous hydrochloric acid, the products of the reaction include aqueous calcium chloride, liquid water, and gaseous carbon dioxide. Calculate the volume of CO₂ gas collected over water at 25.0 °C when 39.5 g of calcium carbonate is added to excess hydrochloric acid if the total pressure is 911 mm Hg. The vapor pressure of water at 25.0 °C is 23.8 mm Hg.arrow_forwardA 6.53-g sample of a mixture of magnesium carbonateand calcium carbonate is treated with excesshydrochloric acid. The resulting reaction produces 1.72 Lof carbon dioxide gas at 28 °C and 743 torr pressure.(a) Write balanced chemical equations for the reactionsthat occur between hydrochloric acid and each componentof the mixture. (b) Calculate the total number ofmoles of carbon dioxide that forms from these reactions.(c) Assuming that the reactions are complete, calculatethe percentage by mass of magnesium carbonate in themixture.arrow_forward
- Given the following reaction, CaH2 (s) + H20 (1) ---> Ca(OH)2 (aq) + H2 (g) a) Balance the equation; b) How many moles of CaH2 are needed to generate 10.0L of H2 gas if the pressure of H2 is 740.0 mm Hg at 23.0 °C?arrow_forwardIf 1.5234 grams of H2C2O4·2H2Ois dissolved in water to prepare a0.250 L solution, identify the equipment needed for this preparation.arrow_forwarda sample of KClO3 (Mw = 122.55 g/mol) allowed to decompose in presence of MnO2. The resulting oxygen gas that is produced displaces 68.9 mL of water. The temperature of the water is 22.7oC and the barometric pressure is 745.9 mmHg. The vapor pressure of water at 22.7oC is 22.6 mmHg. Calculate the mass of KClO3 that decomposed. 2 KClO3(s) => 2 KCl(s) + 3 O2(g)arrow_forward
