Dinitrogen tetraoxide, a colorless gas, exists in equilibrium with nitrogen dioxide, a reddish brown gas.
One way to represent this equilibrium is:
N2O4(g)----------> 2NO2(g)
<----------
Indicate whether each of the following statements is true or false
At equilibrium at a fixed temperature, we can say that:
1. The concentration of NO2 is equal to the concentration of N2O4.
2. The rate of dissociation of N2O4 is equal to the rate of formation of N2O4.
3. The rate constant for the forward reaction is equal to the rate constant of the reverse reaction.
4. The concentration of NO2 divided by the concentration of N2O4 is equal to the same constant (regardless of initial concentrations)
Explanation:
N2O4(g) <----------> 2NO2(g)
Before proceeding,
A chemical equilibrium can be defined as a condition in the course of a reversible chemical reaction in which no net change in the amounts of reactants and products occurs.
Statement 1.
This statement is false. Equilibrium is not about equal concentrations but rather zero change in concentration of the reactants and products.
Statement 2.
This statement is True in chemical equilibrium; the forward and reverse reactions occur at equal rates.
Statement 3.
This statement is False. The rate constant for the forward reaction is not equal to the rate constant of the reverse reaction.
Statement 4.
The concentration of NO2 divided by the concentration of N2O4 is NOT equal to a constant. To obtain a constant value irregardless of the concentrations, the concentration of NO2 must be squared. This comes from the stoichiometry of the reaction
Kc= [NO2]2 / [N2O4]
This statement is false.

When hydrocarbons are burned in a limited amount of air, both CO and CO2 form. When 0.430 g of a particular hydrocarbon was burned in air, 0.446 g of CO, 0.700 g of CO2, and 0.430 g of H2O were formed.
Required:
a. What is the empirical formula of the compound?
b. How many grams of O2 were used in the reaction?
c. How many grams would have been required for complete combustion?
Answer:
(a) The empirical formula of the compound is
m(CxHy) + m(O2) = m(CO) + m(CO2) + m(H2O).
(b) The grams of O2 that were used in the reaction is 1.146 g
(c) The amount of O2 that would have been required for complete combustion is 1.401 g.
Explanation:
a. m(CxHy) + m(O2) = m(CO) + m(CO2) + m(H2O)
(b) Using law of conservation of mass from above
m(O2) = m(CO) + m(CO2) + m(H2O) - m(CxHy)
m(O2) = 0.446 + 0.700 + 0.430 - 0.430
m(O2) = 1.146 g
The grams of O2 that were used in the reaction is 1.146 g
(c) for complete combustion, we need to oxidized CO to CO2
Then, 2CO +O2 = 2CO2
m(add)(O2) = M(O2)*¢(O2)/2 = M(O2) * {(m(CO))/(2M(CO))}
m(add)(O2) = 32 * {(0.446)/(2*28)} = 0.255 g
Note; Molar mass of O2 = 32, CO = 28
m(total)(O2) = m(O2) + m(add)(O2)
m(total)(O2) = 1.146 + 0.255 = 1.401 g
The amount of that grams would have been required for complete combustion is 1.401 g.
Note (add) and (total) were used subscript to "m"
Can a catalyst change an exothermic reaction into an endothermic reaction or vice versa? Please explain your answer.
Answer:
A catalyst cannot change an exothermic reaction into an endothermic reaction or vice versa.
Explanation:
Catalyst is basically a substance that enables a chemical reaction to occur at a faster rate as compared to the reaction without catalysis. It lowers the activation energy and temperature for a chemical reaction and a catalyst itself does not goes through any permanent chemical change. This means it does not get used in the process.
Exothermic and endothermic are the chemical reaction. Exothermic reactions absorb energy. This energy is absorbed in the form of heat. When the energy is released in the form of heat then this reaction is called endothermic. So one absorbs the heat and the other releases it.
As we know that the catalyst does not undergo change at the end of the reaction so the energy or heat whether is absorbed or emitted or you can say whether the reaction is exothermic or endothermic, the total energy stays unchanged during the reaction. So with and without a catalyst, if both have same reactants and products and the difference in enthalpy between products and reactants will be the same.

if 2.22 moles of ammonia (NH3) decomposes according to the reaction shown how many moles of hydrogen (H2) are formed?
Answer:
five(5) hydrogen are formed
A chemist measures the energy change Delta H during the following
2Fe2O3(s)->4FeO(s)+O2(g).
1) this reactions is: Endothermic or exothermic.
2) suppose 94.2g of Fe2O3 react. will any heat be relased or absorbed. yes absorbed. yes releases. no.
3) If you said heat will be released or absorbed in the second part of the question. calculate how much heat will be absored or released. be sure your answer has correct number of significant digits.
Answer: 1) Endothermic
2) Yes, absorbed.
3) 166.86 kJ will be absorbed.
Explanation:
1) To determine if a reaction is endothermic (heat is absorbed by the system) or exothermic (heat is released by the system), first calculate its change in Enthalpy, which is given by:
ΔH = [tex]H_{products} - H_{reagents}[/tex]
For the reaction 2Fe₂O₃(s) ⇒ 4FeO(s) + O₂(g):
Enthalpy of Reagent (Fe₂O₃(s))
Enthalpy of formation for Fe₂O₃(s) is - 822.2 kJ/mol
The reaction needs 2 mols of the molecule, so:
H = 2(-822.2)
H = - 1644.4
Enthalpy of Products (4FeO(s) + O₂(g))
Enthalpy of formation of O₂ is 0, because it is in its standard state.
Enthalpy of formation of FeO is - 272.04 kJ/mol
The reaction produces 4 mols of iron oxide, so:
H = 4(-272.04)
H = -1088.16
Change in Enthalpy:
ΔH = [tex]H_{products} - H_{reagents}[/tex]
ΔH = - 1088.16 - (-1644.4)
ΔH = + 556.2 kJ/mol
The change in enthalpy is positive, which means that the reaction is absorving heat. Then, the chemical reaction is Endothermic.
2) When Fe₂O₃(s) reacts, heat is absorbed because it is an endothermic reaction.
3) Calculate how many mols there is in 94.2 g of Fe₂O₃(s):
n = [tex]\frac{mass}{molar mass}[/tex]
n = [tex]\frac{94.2}{160}[/tex]
n = 0.6 mols
In the reaction, for 2 mols of Fe₂O₃(s), 556.2 kJ are absorbed. Then:
2 mols --------------- 556.2 kJ
0.6 mols ------------- x
x = [tex]\frac{0.6*556.2}{2}[/tex]
x = 167 kJ
It will be absorbed 167 kJ of energy, when 94.2 g of Fe₂O₃(s) reacts.
What is the specific heat of a 85.01 g piece of an unknown metal that exhibits a 45.2°C temperature change upon absorbing 1870 J of heat?
Answer:
[tex]0.48~\frac{J}{g~^{\circ}C}[/tex]
Explanation:
In this question, we have to remember the relationship between Q (heat) and the specific heat (Cp) the change in temperature (ΔT), and the mass (m).
[tex]Q=m*Cp*ΔT[/tex]
The next step is to identify what values we have:
[tex]Q~=~1870~J[/tex]
[tex]m~=~85.01~g[/tex]
[tex]ΔT~=~45.2~^{\circ}C[/tex]
[tex]Cp~=~X[/tex]
Now, we can plug the values and solve for "Cp":
[tex]1870~J=~85.01~g~*Cp*45.2~^{\circ}C[/tex]
[tex]Cp=\frac{1870~J}{85.01~g~*45.2~^{\circ}C}[/tex]
[tex]Cp=0.48~\frac{J}{g~^{\circ}C}[/tex]
The unknow metal it has a specific value of [tex]0.48~\frac{J}{g~^{\circ}C}[/tex]

Based on the type or types of intermolecular forces, predict the substance in each pair that has the higher boiling point Given the molecules propane (C3H8) and n-butane (C4H10)_________ has the higher boiling point mainly due to_______ Given the molecules diethyl ether (CH3 CH2OCH2 CH3) and 1-butanol (CH3 CH2CH2 CH2OH) higher boiling point mainly due to______________ .
Answer:
See explanation
Explanation:
-) Given the molecules propane (C3H8) and n-butane (C4H10) n-butane has the higher boiling point mainly due to a larger chain of carbons.
In this question, in propane, we have a chain of three carbons. In butane, we have fourth carbons. If we have more carbons we will have more interactions. If we have more interactions we have to give more energy to go from liquid to gas, therefore we will have a higher boiling point.
-) Given the molecules diethyl ether (CH3 CH2OCH2 CH3) and 1-butanol (CH3 CH2CH2 CH2OH) 1-butanol has a higher boiling point mainly due to hydrogen bonding.
In the case of butanol, we have the "OH" group. If we have a hydrogen bond to a heteroatom (O, S, P, or N) we will have the presence of this type of interaction between molecules. If we have more interactions we have to give more energy to go from liquid to gas, therefore we will have a higher boiling point.

Description (with words) of water just above melting temperature. What intermolecular forces do you expect to find in water in liquid state
Answer:
intermolecular dipole-dipole hydrogen bonds
Explanation:
Water is a polar molecule. Recall that the central atom in water is oxygen. The molecule is bent, hence it has an overall dipole moment directed towards the oxygen atom. Since it has a permanent dipole moment, we expect that it will show dipole-dipole interactions in the liquid state.
Similarly, water contains hydrogen and oxygen. Recall that hydrogen bonds are formed when hydrogen is covalently bonded to highly electronegative elements. Hence, water in the liquid state exhibits strong hydrogen bonding. The unique type of dipole-dipole interaction in liquid water is actually hydrogen bonding, hence the answer.
which factor is most responsible for the fact that water is a liquid rather than a gas at room temperature
The answer is Hydrogyn bonding. It keeps the water molocules bonded together and in a liquid state, without it it'd be in a gashious state.

Choose the situation below that would result in an endothermic ΔHsolution.
a) When |ΔHsolute| > |ΔHhydration|
b) When |ΔHsolute| is close to |ΔHhydration|
c) When |ΔHsolute| < |ΔHhydration|
d) When |ΔHsolvent| >> |ΔHsolute|
e) There isn't enough information to determine.
Answer:
Option A - When |ΔHsolute| > |ΔHhydration|
Explanation:
A solution is defined as a homogeneous mixture of 2 or more substances that can either be in the gas phase, liquid phase, solid phase.
The enthalpy of solution can either be positive (endothermic) or negative (exothermic).
Now, we know that enthalpy is amount of heat released or absorbed during the dissolving process at constant pressure.
Now, the first step in thus process involves breaking up of the solute. This involves breaking up all the intermolecular forces holding the solute together. This means that the solute molecules are separate from each other and the process is always endothermic because it requires energy to break interaction. Thus;
The enthalpy ΔH1 > 0.
Thus, the enthalpy of the solute has to be greater than the enthalpy of hydration.
An endothermic ΔHsolution occurs when |ΔH solute| < |ΔH hydration|.
A substance dissolves in water when the solute - solvent interaction exceeds the solute - solute solute interaction. The energy required to break the bonds between solutes is the ΔHsolute and the energy released when solute - solvent interaction take place is called the ΔHhydration.
We know that when |ΔH solute| < |ΔH hydration|, energy is required to break up the solute - solute interaction and ΔHsolution is endothermic.

A package contains 1.33 lb of ground round. If it contains 29% fat, how many grams of fat are in the ground round? The book is saying 91g I keep getting 175g. Can someone please explain?
Answer:
To obtain the grams of fat that the ground round has, knowing that it weighs 1.33 pounds we must pass this value to grams. Since 1 pound equals 453.59 grams, 1.33 pounds equals 603.27 (453.59 x 1.33).
Now, to obtain 29 percent of 603.27, we must make the following calculation: 603.27 / 100 x 29, which gives a total of 174.94 grams.
In this way, your reasoning is correct and it is probably a mistake in the book.
when dissolved in water, an acid or a base breaks down into a. a proton and an electron b. two negative ions c. a positive and a negative ion d. a positive ion and a proton
Answer:
C. A positive and a negative ion
Explanation:
Acids and bases are made up of charged particles known as ions. The ions present in acids are oppositely charged and are held together by strong electrostatic forces. When acids or bases are dissolved in water, the electrostatic forces holding their individual molecules together are weakened and these ions are free to move apart in a process known as dissociation. Dissociation occurs because of the attraction between the positive and negative ions in the acid and bases and the negative and positive polarity of water.
For example, when an acid like hydrochloric acid is dissolved in water it dissociates into positive and negative ions as follows:
HCl(aq) -----> H+ + Cl-
When a base like sodium hydroxide is dissolved in water, it dissociates into positive and negative ions as follows:
NaOH(aq) ----> Na+ + OH-

What is the half-life for the first order decay of 14C according to the reaction, 146C — 147N +e- ?
The rate constant for the decay is 1.21 x10-4 year-1
Answer:
5727 years or 5730 (rounded to match 3 sig figs) whichever one your teacher prefers
Explanation:
First Order decay has a half life formula of Half Life = Ln (2) / k = 0.693/K
Half-life = 0.693/k = 0.693/1.21 x10-4 = 5727 years or 5730 (rounded to match 3 sig figs)
This should be correct because if you google the half-life of 14 C it is ~ 5700 years

Determine the limiting reactant (LR) and the mass (in g) of nitrogen that can be formed from 50.0 g N 2O 4 and 45.0 g N 2H 4. Some possibly useful molar masses are as follows: N 2O 4 = 92.02 g/mol, N 2H 4 = 32.05 g/mol.
N 2O 4( l) + 2 N 2H 4( l) → 3 N 2( g) + 4 H 2O( g)
a) LR = N2O4, 45.7 g N2 formed
b) LR = N2O4, 105 g N2 formed
c) LR = N2H4, 13.3 g N2 formed
d) LR = N2H4, 59.0 g N2 formed
e) No LR, 45.0 g N2 formed
Answer:
Option A. LR = N2O4, 45.7g N2 formed
Explanation:
The balanced equation for the reaction is given below:
N2O4(l) + 2N2H4(l) → 3N2(g) + 4H2O(g)
Next, we shall determine the masses of N2O4 and N2H4 that reacted and mass of N2 produced from the balanced equation. This is illustrated below:
Molar mass of N2O4 = 92.02 g/mol
Mass of N2O4 from the balanced equation = 1 x 92.02 = 92.02 g
Molar mass of N2H4 = 32.05 g/mol
Mass of N2H4 from the balanced equation = 2 x 32.05 = 64.1g
Molar mass of N2 = 2x14.01 = 28.02g/mol
Mass of N2 from the balanced equation = 3 x 28.02 = 84.06g
Summary:
From the balanced equation above,
92.02g of N2O4 reacted with 64.1g of N2H4 to produce 84.06g of N2.
Next, we shall determine the limiting reactant. This can be obtained as follow:
From the balanced equation above,
92.02g of N2O4 reacted with 64.1g of N2H4.
Therefore, 50g of N2O4 will react with = (50 x 64.1)/92.02 = 34.83g of N2H4.
From the calculations made above, we can see that only 34.83g out 45g of N2H4 is required to react completely with 50g of N2O4.
Therefore, N2O4 is the limiting reactant and N2H4 is the excess reactant.
Finally, we shall determine the mass of N2 produced from the reaction.
In this case the limiting reactant will be used as it will produce the maximum yield of N2 since all of it is used up in the reaction.
The limiting reactant is N2O4 and the mass N2 produced can be obtained as illustrated below:
From the balanced equation above,
92.02g of N2O4 reacted to produce 84.06g of N2.
Therefore 50g of N2O4 will react to produce = (50 x 84.06)/92.02 = 45.7g of N2.
Therefore, 45.7g of N2 were produced from the reaction.
At the end of the day,
The limiting reactant is N2O4 and 45.7g of N2 were produced from the reaction.

(-)-Cholesterol has a specific rotation of -32o. A mixture of ( )- and (-)-cholesterol was analyzed by polarimetry, and the observed rotation was 14o. What is the percent composition of the ( ) isomer in this mixture
Answer:
(+)-cholesterol = 71.88%
(-)-cholesterol = 28.12%
Explanation:
Asuming 1 gram of sample is dissolved in 1mL of water and the sample cell was 1dm long.
Enantiomeric excess is defined as the amount of pure enantiomer in a sample. The formula is:
ee = [α]mixture / [α]pure enantiomer.
Replacing:
ee = 14° / 32°×100 = 43.75%
As the sample is 14°, There is an excess of (+)-cholesterol and 56.25% is a 1:1 mixture of enantiomers.
That means percent composition of enantiomers is:
(+)-cholesterol = 43.75% + 56.25%/2 = 71.88%(-)-cholesterol = 56.25%/2 = 28.12%
