Question
Camels store the fat tristearin (C57H110O6) in their hump. As well as being a source of energy, the fat is a source of water, because of the following respiration reaction:
2 C57H110O6 (s) + 163 O2 (g) à 114 CO2 (g) + 110 H2O (l)
What mass (g) of water can be made from 1.0 kg of fat?

In the first step, nitrogen and hydrogen react to form ammonia: N,(0) + 3 H,(9) → 2 NH,(9) ΔΗ-92. k In the second step, ammonia and oxygen react to form nitric acid and water: NH,(9) + 20,(9) → HNO3(g) + H,O(g) AH=-330. kJ Calculate the net change in enthalpy for the formation of one mole of nitric acid from nitrogen, hydrogen and oxygen from these reactions. Round your answer to the nearest kJ. ?arrow_forwardWhen you have an "upset stomach", most people consume a chemical known as an antacid. Antacids contain the chemical Al(OH)3 which reacts with stomach acid (HCI) in the reaction below. This reaction, between an acid and a base, is commonly called a neutralization. For your convenience, the molar mass of each substance is shown below their formulas (in purple). Use this information to make the requested calculation: (antacid) (stomach acid) Al(OH)3(s) + 3 HCI(aq) --> AICI3(aq) + 3 H20() 78.006 36.461 133.341 18.016 How many moles of stomach acid can be neutralized by 3.60 mol of antacid?arrow_forward

You know that sodium hydroxide can remove carbon dioxide from the spacecraft cabin. The filter which they had been using is fully saturated and no longer works. The astronauts have a 5 kg container of sodium hydroxide on the ship. The reaction to neutralize the air, remove carbon dioxide with sodium hydroxide is shown below CO2(g) + 2NaOH(s) ⟶⟶ Na2CO3(aq) + H2O(l) The astronauts have 2 days left before they land on earth. You know that there are three astronauts, and each astronaut emits roughly 500. g of carbon dioxide each day. Is there enough sodium hydroxide in the cabin to cleanse the cabin air of the carbon dioxide, or are the astronauts doomed? Calculate how much sodium hydroxide is required to remove all the carbon dioxide from the three astronauts. Be sure to show all your work!arrow_forwardBecause of the toxicity of mercury compounds, mercury(I) chloride is used in antibacterial salves.
