- The final step in the manufacture of platinum metal (for use in automotive catalytic converters and other products) is the reaction 3 (NH4)2PtCl6(s) 3 Pt(s) + 2 NH4Cl(s) + 2 N2(g) + 16 HCl(g) Complete this table of reaction quantities for the reaction of 12.35 g (NH4)2PtCl6.arrow_forwardThe catalytic converter that is standard equipment on American automobiles converts carbon monoxide (CO)to carbon dioxide (CO2) by the reaction 2CO + O2 2CO2 What mass of O2, in grams, is needed to react completely with 25.0 g of CO?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_forward
- 4.106 An ore sample with a mass of 670 kg contains 27.7% magnesium carbonate, MgCO3. If all of the magnesium carbonate in this ore sample is decomposed to form carbon dioxide, describe how to determine what mass of CO2 is evolved during the process.arrow_forwardlist at least three quantities that must be conserved in chemical reactions.arrow_forwardAmmonia can be formed by a direct reaction of nitrogen and hydrogen. N2(g) + 3 H2(g) 2 NH3(g) A tiny portion of the starting mixture is represented by the diagram, where the blue circles represent N and the white circles represent H. Which of these represents the product mixture? For the reaction of the given sample, which of these statements is true? (a) N2 is the limiting reactant. (b) H2 is the limiting reactant. (c) NH, is the limiting reactant. (d) No reactant is limiting: they are present in the correct stoichiometric ratio.arrow_forward
- (a) Butane gas, C4H10, can burn completely in air [use O2(g) as the other reactant] to give carbon dioxide gas and water vapor. Write a balanced equation for this combustion reaction. (b) Write a balanced chemical equation for the complete combustion of C3H7BO3, a gasoline additive. The products of combustion are CO2(g), H2O(g), and B2O3(s).arrow_forward4.9 Sulfur, S8, combines with oxygen at elevated temperatures to form sulfur dioxide. (a) Write a balanced chemical equation for this reaction. (b) If 200 oxygen molecules are used up in this reaction, how many sulfur molecules react? (c) How many sulfur dioxide molecules are formed in part (b)?arrow_forward4.111 Aluminum metal reacts with sulfuric acid to form hydrogen gas and aluminum sulfate (a) Write a balanced chemical equation for this reaction. (b) Suppose that a 0.792-g sample of aluminum that contains impurities is reacted with excess sulfuric acid and 0.0813 g of H2 is collected.

- Determine the volume of sodium hydroxide solution needed to prepare 26.2 g sodium phosphate, Na3PO4, by the reaction 3NaOH(aq)+H3PO4(aq)Na3PO4(aq)+3H2O(l) The sodium hydroxide solution, whose density is 1.133 g/mL, contains 12.0% NaOH by mass.arrow_forwardEthanol, 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_forwardMany cereals are made with high moisture content so that the cereal can be formed into various shapes before it is dried.
