- [References] nelling salts," which are used to revive someone who has fainted, typically contain ammonium carbonate, (NH4)2 CO3 . Ammon. ponate decomposes readily to form ammonia, carbon dioxide, and water. The strong odor of the ammonia usually restores conscio person who has fainted.

Prior to the environmental movement much of it was produced by the following reaction. CaCO3 + 2 NaCl → Na2CO3 + CaCl2 Unfortunately, the byproduct calcium chloride is of little use and was dumped into rivers, creating a pollution problem. As a result of the environmental movement, all of these plants closed. Assume that 125g of calcium carbonate (100.09 g/mol) and 125 g of sodium chloride (58.44 g/mol) are allowed to react. Determine how many grams of useful sodium carbonate (105.99 g/mol) will be produced. How many grams of useless calcium chloride (110.98 g/mol) will be produced? You should also determine how many grams of excess reactants are left (indicate which one is the limiting reactant)arrow_forward
- Aspirin can be prepared from salicylic acid (C7H6O3), which has a molar mass of 138.12 g/mol, and acetic anhydride (C4H6O3), which has a molar mass of 102.04 g/mol. The density of acetic anhydride is 1.082 g/mL. C7H6O3+C4H6O3⟶C9H8O4+C2H4O2 What is the yield, in grams, of aspirin (C9H8O4), which has a molar mass of 180.15 g/mol, possible when reacting 2.18 g of salicylic acid with 1.05 mL of acetic anhydride?arrow_forward10 Ethylene (CH,CH,) is the starting point for a wide array of industrial chemical syntheses. For example, worldwide about 8.0 × 10º kg of polyethylene are made from ethylene each year, for use in everything from household plumbing to artificial joints. Natural sources of ethylene are entirely inadequate to meet world demand, so ethane (CH,CH,) from natural gas is "cracked" in refineries at high temperature in a kinetically complex reaction that produces ethylene gas and hydrogen gas. Suppose an engineer studying ethane cracking fills a 60.0 L reaction tank with 22.0 atm of ethane gas and raises the temperature to 500. °C. She believes K =0.050 at this temperature. Calculate the percent by mass of ethylene the engineer expects to find in the equilibrium gas mixture. Round your answer to 2 significant digits. Note for advanced students: the engineer may be mistaken about the correct value of K , and the mass percent of ethylene you calculate may not be what she actually observes. %arrow_forwardA 19.51 g sample of impure methylamine, which contains 72.58% (by mass) of CH;NH: , is reacted with 30.81 g of pure oxygen gas: 2.1 4CH, NH,(2) + 90,(8) - 4C0,(8) + 10H,0(?) + 2N;(8) 2.1.1 What is the percentage yield of this reaction if 5.54 g of nitrogen gas is collected? 2.1.2 In another experiment, this impure methylamine was used as follows: • An unknown mass of the impure compound is dissolved in enough water to make 500.0 m of solution. • 20 ml of this solution was transferred by pipette to a clean 250 ml volumetric flask and made up to the mark. • The molarity of the CH;NH; in the final solution was determined to be 0.103 M.

- A chemist invents a new combustion analysis instrument that uses less O2(g) which saves money on each analysis. The improvement is that instead of CO2(g) being formed and trapped, CO(g) is formed and trapped. H2O (g) is also formed and trapped when substances that contain hydrogen are analyzed.(a) The chemist places 2.184 g of an unknown compound of carbon and hydrogen in the new analyzer. 4.627 g of CO (g) and 1.795 g of H2O (g) are produced. Find the empirical formula for the compound.(Molar masses (g/mol): CO = 28.0104, H2O = 18.015) (b) Despite the best efforts of the chemist, the molar mass of the compound cannot be determined (using this method). Clearly explain why this prevents the determination of the molecular formulaarrow_forwardIn a car airbag, sodium azide (NaN3) decomposes to form sodium metal and nitrogen gas (reaction1). The sodium metal then reacts with potassium nitrate to produce more nitrogen gas (reaction 2) according to the following equation: Na(s) + KNO3(s) → N2(g) + Na2O(s) + K2O(s) a) Write the balanced chemical equation for the reaction (1) that happened in the airbag. b) Balance the equation of reaction 2 c) In a table classify and compounds in ion 1 and reaction 2 into ionic or covalent. If 2.00 mol of sodium azide react in this way, what is the total number of molecules of N2 will be formed?
