- A rebreathing gas mask contains potassium superoxide, KO2, which reacts with moisture in the breath to give oxygen. 4KO2(s)+2H2O(l)4KOH(s)+3O2(g) Estimate the grams of potassium superoxide required to supply a persons oxygen needs for one hour. Assume a person requires 1.00 102 kcal of energy for this time period. Further assume that this energy can be equated to the heat of combustion of a quantity of glucose, C6H12O6, to CO2(g) and H2O(l). From the amount of glucose required to give 1.00 102 kcal of heat, calculate the amount of oxygen consumed and hence the amount of KO2 required. The ff0 for glucose(s) is 1273 kJ/mol.arrow_forwardWhen one mole of ethylene gas, C2H4, reacts with fluorine gas, hydrogen fluoride and carbon tetrafluoride gases are formed and 2496.7 kJ of heat are given off. What is Hf for CF4(g)?arrow_forwardThe carbon dioxide exhaled in the breath of astronauts is often removed from the spacecraft by reaction with lithium hydroxide 2LiOH(s)+CO2(g)Li2CO3(s)+H2O(l) Estimate the grams of lithium hydroxide required per astronaut per day. Assume that each astronaut requires 2.50 103 kcal of energy per day. Further assume that this energy can be equated to the heat of combustion of a quantity of glucose, C6H12O6, to CO2(g) and H2O(l). From the amount of glucose required to give 2.50 103 kcal of heat, calculate the amount of CO2 produced and hence the amount of LiOH required. The H for glucose(s) is 1273 kJ/mol.arrow_forward
- Chlorine dioxide, ClO2, is a reddish yellow gas used in bleaching paper pulp. The average speed of a ClO2 molecule at 25C is 306 m/s. What is the kinetic energy (in joules) of a ClO2 molecule moving at this speed?arrow_forwardGraphite is burned in oxygen to give carbon monoxide and carbon dioxide. If the product mixture is 33% CO and 67% CO2 by mass, what is the heat from the combustion of 1.00 g of graphite?arrow_forward(b) Zn(NO3)2(aq) + 2 N2OH(aq) → Zn(OH)2(s) + 2 NaNO3(aq) Write the complete ionic equation.

- (b) The combustion of octane is represented by the following balanced equation: 2 C3H28(1) + 25 Ozlg) → 16 CO2 (g) + 18 H20 (g) In a brief chemistry or scientific language, describe this reaction:arrow_forwardEnter your answer in the provided box. Some commercial drain cleaners contain a mixture of sodium hydroxide and aluminum powder. When the mixture is poured down a clogged drain, the following reaction occurs: 2N2OH(aq) + 2Al(s) + 6H,O(1) → 2NaAl(OH),(aq) + 3H3(g) The heat generated in this reaction helps melt away obstructions such as grease, and the hydrogen gas released stirs up the solids clogging the drain. Calculate the volume of H, formed at 34.5°C and 1.00 atm if 2.85 g of Al is treated with an excess of NAOH.arrow_forwardConsider the reaction. 2Al(s)+Fe2O3(s)−→−heatAl2O3(s)+2Fe(l)2Al(s)+Fe2O3(s)→heatAl2O3(s)+2Fe(l) If 18.3 kg Al18.3 kg Al reacts with an excess of Fe2O3,Fe2O3, how many kilograms of Al2O3Al2O3 will be produced? mass of Al2O3Al2O3 produced:arrow_forward
- Malachite is a green copper mineral with the formula Cu2CO3(OH)2. It can ber converted into copper metal in a number of ways. One method extracts the metal by reacting the malachite with sulfuric acid to form CuSO4, and then adding iron to the CuSO4 solution which, after they react, forms FeSO4 and copper metal. The balanced chemical reactions are: Cu2CO3(OH)2(s) + 2H2SO4(aq) -> 2CuSO4(aq) + 3H2O(l) + CO2(g) CuSO4(aq) + Fe(s) -> FeSO4(aq) + Cu(s) If the final solution is dried, and 3.28 g of iron sulfate is collected, how many grams of malachite were originally used?arrow_forwardIn the early days of automobiles, illumination at night was provided by burning acetylene, C2H2. Though no longer used as auto headlamps, acetylene is still used as a source of light by some cave explorers. The acetylene is (was) prepared in the lamp by the reaction of water with calcium carbide, CaC2:CaC2(s) + 2H2 O(l) ⟶ Ca(OH)2(s) + C2 H2(g).Calculate the standard enthalpy of the reaction. The ΔH°f of CaC2 is −15.14 kcal/mol.arrow_forwardThe combustion of ethane (C,H¸) produces carbon dioxide and steam. 2 C,H,(g) + 70,(g) → 4 CO,(g) + 6 H,O(g)arrow_forward
