Concept explainers
(a)
Interpretation : The Lewis structure of methane needs to be drawn.
Concept Introduction : The Lewis structure of any molecule indicates the bonding of atoms present in the molecule. It can be drawn with the help of number of valence electrons in the constituent atoms. The combustion reaction is an exothermic reaction which is the reaction of molecule with oxygen to form carbon dioxide and water. The energy released during the combustion is called as enthalpy of combustion.
(b)
Interpretation : The mass of transported LNG in the one tank needs to be determined.
Concept Introduction : The relation between density and mass of any object is defined as follows:
Here, m is mass and V is volume.
(c)
Interpretation : The volume of LNG obtained from one tank according to the given information needs to be calculated.
Concept Introduction : The following conversion factor is used to calculate the volume in L.
1 million gallon = 3785411.8 L
(d)
Interpretation : The balanced
Concept Introduction : The combustion of hydrocarbon takes place in the presence of oxygen and results in the formation of carbon dioxide and water. If the reaction is endothermic, the heat is required and if it is endothermic the heat is released.
(e)
Interpretation : The mass of oxygen required for reaction with methane in one tank of LNG needs to be determined.
Concept Introduction : The combustion reaction is an exothermic reaction which is the reaction of molecule with oxygen to form carbon dioxide and water. The energy released during the combustion is called as enthalpy of combustion.
(f)
Interpretation : The amount of heat released when methane from one tank of LNG is burned needs to be calculated.
Concept Introduction : The combustion reaction is an exothermic reaction which is the reaction of molecule with oxygen to form carbon dioxide and water. The energy released during the combustion is called as enthalpy of combustion.

- Consider the Haber process: N2(g)+3H2(g)2NH3(g);H=91.8kJ The density of ammonia at 25C and 1.00 atm is 0.696 g/L. The density of nitrogen, N2, is 1.145 g/L, and the molar heat capacity is 29.12 J/(mol C). (a) How much heat is evolved in the production of 1.00 L of ammonia at 25C and 1.00 atm? (b) What percentage of this heat is required to heat the nitrogen required for this reaction (0.500 L) from 25C to 400C, the temperature at which the Haber process is run?arrow_forwardUse the appropriate tables to calculate H for (a) the reaction between copper(II) oxide and carbon monoxide to give copper metal and carbon dioxide.

- 9.68 What are some features of petroleum that make it such an attractive fuel?arrow_forwardAn industrial process for manufacturing sulfuric acid, H2SO4, uses hydrogen sulfide, H2S, from the purification of natural gas. In the first step of this process, the hydrogen sulfide is burned to obtain sulfur dioxide, SO2. 2H2S(g)+3O2(g)2H2O(l)+2SO2(g);H=1124kJ The density of sulfur dioxide at 25C and 1.00 atm is 2.62 g/L, and the molar heat capacity is 30.2 J/(mol C). (a) How much heat would be evolved in producing 1.00 L of SO2 at 25C and 1.00 atm? (b) Suppose heat from this reaction is used to heat 1.00 L of the SO2 from 25C to 500C for its use in the next step of the process. What percentage of the heat evolved is required for this?arrow_forwardWhich molecule, F2, Cl2, Br2, or I2, has the weakest chemical bond?arrow_forward
- Which molecule, HF, HCl, HBr, or HI, has the strongest chemical bond?arrow_forward62 Ammonium dinitramide (ADN), NH4N(NO2)2, was considered as a possible replacement for aluminium chloride as the oxidizer in the solid fuel booster rockets used to launch the space shuttle. When detonated by a spark, AND rapidly decomposes to produce a gaseous mixture of N2,O2, and H2O. (This is not a combustion reaction. The ADN is the only reactant.) The reaction releases a lot of heat, so the gases are initially formed at high temperature and pressure. The thrust of the rocket results mainly from the expansion of this gas mixture. Suppose a 2.3-kg sample of ADN is denoted and decomposes completely to give N2,O2, and H2O. If the resulting gas mixture expands until it reaches a temperature of 100°C and a pressure of 1.00 atm, what volume will it occupy? Is your answer consistent with the proposed use of ADN as a rocket fuel?arrow_forward9.65 When 0.0157 g of a compound with a heat of combustion of —37.6 kJ/mol is burned in a calorimeter, 18.5 j of heat is released.
