- Consider the Haber process shown below. N2 (g) + 3 H2 (g) → 2 NH3 (g) Which of the following statements IS NOT TRUE? Assume 100% yield. 28 grams of nitrogen gas reacts with 6 grams of hydrogen gas to form 34 grams of ammonia gas. 5 molecules of nitrogen gas reacts with 15 molecules of hydrogen gas to form 10 molecules of ammonia gas. 15 moles of nitrogen gas reacts with 45 moles of hydrogen gas to form 30 moles of ammonia gas. 25 grams of nitrogen gas reacts with 75 grams of hydrogen gas to form 50 grams of ammonia gas.arrow_forwardPart 1 A student carried out an investigation to observe the effect of changing concentration of sulfuric acid on the breakdown of calcium carbonate (marble) chips. They changed the concentration of the acid between each test but kept the size of the marble chips constant. The full equation for the reaction and a graph of the overall results can be seen below. CaCO3(s) + H₂SO4(aq) → CaSO4(aq) + CO2(g) + H₂O (1) a) b) Rate of Reaction * Concentration of Acid (mol dm³) Explain, using collision theory, why the student obtained these results, and state what they could conclude about the effect of changing concentration of acid on the rate of reaction between calcium carbonate and sulfuric acid. If the student had ground up the calcium carbonate chips into a powder and run the tests again, what would you expect to happen to the rate of reaction? Briefly explain why by applying collision theory. Part 2 The student ran the same experiment, but this time changed the temperature, increasing it…arrow_forwardIn the early days of automobiles, illumination at night was provided by burning acetylene, C2H2. Though no longer used as auto headlamps, acetylene is still used as a source of light by some cave explorers. The acetylene is (was) prepared in the lamp by the reaction of water with calcium carbide, CaC2:CaC2(s) + 2H2 O(l) ⟶ Ca(OH)2(s) + C2 H2(g).Calculate the standard enthalpy of the reaction. The ΔH°f of CaC2 is −15.14 kcal/mol.arrow_forward
- The fluoride rinse in dental offices usually contains sodium fluoride. Sodium fluoride can be prepared from the reaction between sodium metal and fluorine gas. Which properly represents the balanced chemical equation for this reaction? Please explain the steps. Na(s) + F2(g) → NaF2(s) Na(s) + F(g) → NaF(s) 7Na(s) + F(g) → Na7F(s) 2Na(s) + F2(g) → 2Na2F(s) 2Na(s) + F2(g) → 2NaF(s) Why is it important to understand this equation? What do you think could happen if this is incorrect?arrow_forwardConsider the mixture of Cl2 and F2 in a closed container as illustrated below. What will the contents of the container look like if the molecules undergo the reaction:Cl2(g) + 3 F2(g) → 2 ClF3(g)?arrow_forwardApproximately 12 billion kilograms of phosphoric acid (H3PO4) are produced annually for fertilizers, detergents, and agents for water treatment. Phosphoric acid can be prepared by heating the mineral fluoroapatite (Ca5(PO4)3F) with sulphuric acid in the presence of water. Ca5(PO4)3F + 5H2SO4 + 10H20 → 3H3PO4 + 5CaSO4 2H20 + HF If every kilogram of fluoroapatite yields 390 g of phosphoric acid, what is the percent yield? percentarrow_forward
- When heated, metal hydroxides decompose to produce a metal oxide and water. Selected the correct balanced equation for the decomposition of calcium hydroxide. CaOH (s) → CaO2 (s) + H2O (g) Ca(OH)2 (s) → CaO (s) + H2O (g) 2 CaOH (s) → 2 CaO (s) + H2O (g) 3 Ca(OH)2 (s) → 3 CaO2 (s) + H2O (g)arrow_forwardThe reaction between ammonia and oxygen is given below: 2 NH3(g) +2 O2(g) → N2O(g) +3 H₂O(1) We therefore know that which of the following reactions can also occur?
