(a)
Interpretation:
Balanced chemical equation to be identified.
Concept Introduction:
For balancing the reaction number of mole of reactant need to be equivalent to number of mol of product.
(b)
Interpretation:
More energy liberated by the reaction per mol of reactant to be identified.
Concept Introduction:
Endothermic reaction involves the absorption of energy which helps in further proceeding of the reaction to produce good yield of product.
Exothermic reaction involves the liberation of energy which helps in further proceeding of the reaction to produce good yield of product.
(c)
Interpretation:
More energy liberated by the reaction per gram of reactant to be identified.
Concept Introduction:
Endothermic reaction involves the absorption of energy which helps in further proceeding of the reaction to produce good yield of product.
Exothermic reaction involves the liberation of energy which helps in further proceeding of the reaction to produce good yield of product.

- 4-77 To convert 1 mol of iron(III) oxide to its elements requires 196.5 kcal: How many grams of iron can be produced if 156.0 kcal of heat is absorbed by a large-enough sample of iron(III) oxide?arrow_forwardThe carbon dioxide exhaled in the breath of astronauts is often removed from the spacecraft by reaction with lithium hydroxide 2LiOH(s)+CO2(g)Li2CO3(s)+H2O(l) Estimate the grams of lithium hydroxide required per astronaut per day. Assume that each astronaut requires 2.50 103 kcal of energy per day. Further assume that this energy can be equated to the heat of combustion of a quantity of glucose, C6H12O6, to CO2(g) and H2O(l). From the amount of glucose required to give 2.50 103 kcal of heat, calculate the amount of CO2 produced and hence the amount of LiOH required. The H for glucose(s) is 1273 kJ/mol.arrow_forward4-20 Calcium oxide is prepared by heating limestone (calcium carbonate, CaCO3) to a high temperature, at which point it decomposes to calcium oxide and carbon dioxide. Write a balanced equation for this preparation of calcium oxide.arrow_forward
- Ethanol, C2H5OH, is a gasoline additive that can be produced by fermentation of glucose. C6H12O62C2H5OH+2CO2 (a) Calculate the mass (g) of ethanol produced by the fermentation of 1.000 lb glucose. (b) Gasohol is a mixture of 10.00 mL ethanol per 90.00 mL gasoline. Calculate the mass (in g) of glucose required to produce the ethanol in 1.00 gal gasohol. Density of ethanol = 0.785 g/mL. (c) By 2022, the U. S. Energy Independence and Security Act calls for annual production of 3.6 1010 gal of ethanol, no more than 40% of it produced by fermentation of corn. Fermentation of 1 ton (2.2 103 lb) of corn yields approximately 106 gal of ethanol. The average corn yield in the United States is about 2.1 105 lb per 1.0 105 m2. Calculate the acreage (in m2) required to raise corn solely for ethanol production in 2022 in the United States.arrow_forward4-61 In photosynthesis, green plants convert CO2 and H2O to glucose, C6H12O6. How many grams of CO2are required to produce 5.1 g of glucose?arrow_forward4-82 When gaseous dinitrogen pentoxide, N2O5, is bubbled into water, nitric acid, HNO3, forms. Write a balanced equation for this reaction.arrow_forward
- 4-62 Iron ore is converted to iron by heating it with coal (carbon), and oxygen according to the following equation: If the process is run until 3940. g of Fe is produced, how many grams of CO2 will also be produced?arrow_forward4-88 Chlorophyll, the compound responsible for the green color of leaves and grasses, contains one atom of magnesium in each molecule. If the percentage by weight of magnesium in chlorophyll is 2.72%, what is the molecular weight of chlorophyll?arrow_forward4-52 The molecular weight of hemoglobin is about 68,000 amu. What is the mass in grams of a single molecule of hemoglobin?arrow_forward
- 4-23 When solid carbon burns in a limited supply of oxygen gas, the gas carbon monoxide, CO, forms. This gas is deadly to humans because it combines with hemoglobin in the blood, making it impossible for the blood to transport oxygen. Write a balanced equation for the formation of carbon monoxide.arrow_forward4.8 In an experiment carried out at very low pressure, 13x1015 molecules of H2 are reacted with acetylene, C2H2, to form ethane, C2H6, on the surface of a catalyst. Write a balanced chemical equation for this reaction. How many molecules of acetylene are consumed?arrow_forward4-59 Chlorine dioxide, ClO2, is used for bleaching paper. It is also the gas used to kill the anthrax spores that contaminated the Hart Senate Office Building in the fall of 2001. Chlorine dioxide is prepared by treating sodium chlorite with chlorine gas. (a) Balance the equation for the preparation of chlorine dioxide. (b) Calculate the weight of chlorine dioxide that can be prepared from 5.50 kg of sodium chlorite.arrow_forward
