- Consider the following reaction. How many moles of oxygen are required to produce 10.0 moles of water? Assume that there is excess C3H7SH present.C3H7SH(l) + 6 O2(g) →→ 3 CO2(g) + SO2(g) + 4 H2O(g)arrow_forwardGive the reaction type: CaCl2•3H2O (s) + ∆ ⟶ CaCl2 (s) + 3H2O (g)arrow_forward12arrow_forward
- Part 1 A student carried out an investigation to observe the effect of changing concentration of sulfuric acid on the breakdown of calcium carbonate (marble) chips. They changed the concentration of the acid between each test but kept the size of the marble chips constant. The full equation for the reaction and a graph of the overall results can be seen below. CaCO3(s) + H₂SO4(aq) → CaSO4(aq) + CO2(g) + H₂O (1) a) b) Rate of Reaction * Concentration of Acid (mol dm³) Explain, using collision theory, why the student obtained these results, and state what they could conclude about the effect of changing concentration of acid on the rate of reaction between calcium carbonate and sulfuric acid. If the student had ground up the calcium carbonate chips into a powder and run the tests again, what would you expect to happen to the rate of reaction? Briefly explain why by applying collision theory. Part 2 The student ran the same experiment, but this time changed the temperature, increasing it…arrow_forwardThe Haber-Bosch process is a very important industrial process. In the Haber-Bosch process, hydrogen gas reacts with nitrogen gas to produce ammonia according to the equation 3H₂(g) + N₂ (g)→2NH3(g) The ammonia produced in the Haber-Bosch process has a wide range of uses, from fertilizer to pharmaceuticals. However, the production of ammonia is difficult, resulting in lower yields than those predicted from the chemical equation. 1.04 g H₂ is allowed to react with 10.4 g N₂, producing 2.68 g NH3. Part A What is the theoretical yield in grams for this reaction under the given conditions? Express your answer to three significant figures and include the appropriate units. ► View Available Hint(s) μÅ Value Units ?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_forward

Sodium fluoride can be prepared from the reaction between sodium metal and fluorine gas. Which properly represents the balanced chemical equation for this reaction? Please explain the steps. Na(s) + F2(g) → NaF2(s) Na(s) + F(g) → NaF(s) 7Na(s) + F(g) → Na7F(s) 2Na(s) + F2(g) → 2Na2F(s) 2Na(s) + F2(g) → 2NaF(s) Why is it important to understand this equation? What do you think could happen if this is incorrect?arrow_forwardConsider the mixture of Cl2 and F2 in a closed container as illustrated below. What will the contents of the container look like if the molecules undergo the reaction:Cl2(g) + 3 F2(g) → 2 ClF3(g)?arrow_forward
- When heated, metal hydroxides decompose to produce a metal oxide and water. Selected the correct balanced equation for the decomposition of calcium hydroxide. CaOH (s) → CaO2 (s) + H2O (g) Ca(OH)2 (s) → CaO (s) + H2O (g) 2 CaOH (s) → 2 CaO (s) + H2O (g) 3 Ca(OH)2 (s) → 3 CaO2 (s) + H2O (g)arrow_forwardWhat mass, in grams, of C2H2 is needed to form 152.9 g of CO2?
