Chapter 12, Problem 30E

The annual production of HNO3 in 2013 was 60 million metric tons Most of that was prepared by the following sequence of reactions, each run in a separate reaction vessel.

(a) 4 NH 3 ( g ) + 5 O 2 ( g ) 4 NO ( g ) + 6 H 2 O ( g )

(b) 2 NO ( g ) + O 2 ( g ) 2 NO 2 ( g )

(C) 3 NO 2 ( g ) + H 2 O ( l ) 2 HNO 3 ( a q ) + NO ( g )

The first reaction is run by burning ammonia in air over a platinum catalyst. This reaction is fast. The reaction in equation (c) is also fast. The second reaction limits the rate at which nitric acid can be prepared from ammonia. If equation (b) is second order in NO and first order in O2, what is the rate of formation of NO2 when the oxygen concentration is 0.50 M and the nitric oxide concentration is 0.75 M? The rate constant for the reaction is 5.8 × 10 6 L2/mol2/s.

Hydrogen cyanide, HCN, is prepared from ammonia, air, and natural gas ( CH4) by the following process: Pt 2NH3 (g) + 30, (9) + 2CH, (9) → 2HCN(g) + 6H,0(g) Hydrogen cyanide is used to prepare sodium cyanide, which is used in part to obtain gold from gold-containing rock. If a reaction vessel contains 5.40 g NH3, 11.0 g 02, and 5.17 g CH4, what is the maximum mass in grams of hydrogen cyanide that could be made, assuming the reaction goes to completion as written? Mass = g HCN
For each of the following reactions, suggest two soluble ionic compounds that, when mixed together in water, result in the net ionic equation given: (a) 2 Ag+ (aq) + CO3²¯ (aq) → Ag₂CO3(s) (b) Mg²+ (aq) + 2 OH¯(aq) → Mg(OH)₂(s), the suspension present in milk of magnesia 3+ (c) 3 Ca³+ (aq) + 2 PO2 (aq) → Ca3(PO4)2(s), gypsum, a component of concrete
(1) One of the steps in the commercial process for converting ammonia to nitric acid involves the conversion of ammonia, NH3(g) to nitrous oxide, NO(g). 4 NH3(g )  +  5 O2(g)  → 4  NO(g)  +  6 H2O(l) Atomic weights (g/mol): N=14, H=1, O=16 a. Balance the above chemical equation that represents the conversion. b. How many moles of oxygen are needed to convert 2.5 moles of ammonia? c. How many grams of water will be produced from 2.5 moles of ammonia? d. If 150 grams of oxygen reacted 2.5 moles of ammonia, identify the limiting and excess reagents. e. How much of the excess reagent remains unreacted? f. If the reaction in (d) produces 10.0 grams of nitrous oxide, calculate the percent yield.
