Chapter 5, Problem 92RQ

Methylbromide, CH 3 Br , is used in agriculture to fumigate soil to rid it of pests such as nematodes. It is injected directly into the soil, but over time it has a tendency to escape before it can undergo natural degradation to innocuous products. Soil chemists have found that ammonium thiosulfate, ( NH 4 ) 2 S 2 O 3 , a nitrogen and sulfur fertilizer, drastically reduces methylbromide emissions by causing it to degrade. In a chemical analysis to determine the purity of a batch of commercial ammonium thiosulfate, a chemist first prepared a standard solution of iodine following the procedure in Problem 5.91. First, 0.462 g KlO 3 was dissolved in water to make 125 mL of solution. The solution was made acidic and treated with excess potassium iodide, which caused the following reaction to take place:

IO 3 - +8I - +6H + 3I 3 - +3H 2 O

The solution containing the I 3 - ion was then diluted to exactly 250.0 mL in a volumetric flask. Next, the chemist dissolved 0.2180 g of the fertilizer in water, added starch indicator, and titrated it with the standard I 3 - solution. The reaction was

2 S 2 O 3 2 + I - 3 S 4 O 6 2 + 3 I -

The titration required 27.99 mL of the I 3 - solution.

(a) What was the molarity of the I 3 - solution used in the titration?

(b) How many grams of ( NH 4 ) 2 S 2 O 3 were in the fertilizer sample?

(c) What was the percentage by mass of ( NH 4 ) 2 S 2 O 3 in the fertilizer?

2 NaN3(5) 2 Na(s) + 3 N2(g) --> One of the products of this reaction is nitrogen gas (N2). Look closely: For every one molecule of sodium azide that ignites, how many molecules of gas are formed?
The Haber-Bosch process is a very important industrial process. In the Haber-Bosch process, hydrogen gas reacts with nitrogen gas to produce ammonia according to the equation 3H₂(g) + N₂ (g)→2NH3(g) The ammonia produced in the Haber-Bosch process has a wide range of uses, from fertilizer to pharmaceuticals. However, the production of ammonia is difficult, resulting in lower yields than those predicted from the chemical equation. 1.04 g H₂ is allowed to react with 10.4 g N₂, producing 2.68 g NH3. Part A What is the theoretical yield in grams for this reaction under the given conditions?
