Concept explainers
(a)
Interpretation:Whether the element left, right or neither has higher molar mass should be identified.
Concept introduction:Atomic mass expressed in
Chemists use molecular weight and molar masses of compounds to determine the stoichiometric quantities such as moles, molarity, molality that are useful to determine the number of reactant or products involved in a certain reaction.
(b)
Interpretation: Whether the element left, right or neither has more atoms per gram should be identified.

Principles of General Chemistry
- Billions of pounds of urea, CO(NH2)2, are produced annually for use as a fertilizer. The principal reaction employed is: 2NH3+CO2CO(NH2)2+H2O By assuming unlimited amounts of CO2, how many moles of urea can be produced from each of the following amounts of NH3? a.2molNH3b.0.45molNH3c.10gNH3d.2.0kgNH3arrow_forwardWrite the balanced chemical equation for the complete combustion of adipic acid, an organic acid containing 49.31% C, 6.90% H, and the remainder O, by mass.arrow_forwardSolid calcium carbide (CaC2)reacts with liquid water to produce acetylene gas (C2H2)and aqueous calcium hydroxide. l type='a'> Write the balanced equation for the reaction that is (occurring. including all phases. If a 100.0-g sample of calcium carbide (CaC2)is initially reacted with 50.0 g of water, which reactant is limiting? Prove that mass is conserved for the reactant amounts used in pan b.arrow_forward
- When potassium chlorate is subjected to high temperatures, it decomposes into potassium chloride and oxygen. (a) Write a balanced equation for the decomposition. (b) In this decomposition, the actual yield is 83.2%. If 198.5 g of oxygen are produced, how much potassium chlorate decomposed?arrow_forwardWrite an equation from the following description: reactants are gaseous NH3 and O2, products are gaseous NO2 and liquid H2O, and the stoichiometric coefficients are 4, 7, 4, and 6, respectively.arrow_forwardThe pictures below show a molecular-scale view of a chemical reaction between H2 and CO to produce methanol, CH3OH The box on the left represents the reactants at the instant of mixing, and the box on the right shows what is left once the reaction has gone to completion. D Was there a limiting reactant in this reaction? If so, what was it? Write a balanced chemical equation for this reaction. As usual, your equation should use the smallest possible whole number coefficients for all substances.arrow_forward
- Consider a reaction represented by the following balanced equation :math>2A+3BC+4D u find that it requires equal masses of A and B so that there are no reactants left over. Which of the following is true? Justify your choice. l type='a'> The molar mass of A must be greater than the molar mass of B. i>The molar mass of A must be less than the molar mass of B. i>The molar mass of A must be the same as the molar mass of B.arrow_forwardA possible practical way to eliminate oxides of nitrogen(such as NO2 ) from automobile exhaust gases uses cyanuricacid, C3N3(OH)3 . When heated to the relatively lowtemperature of 625°F, cyanuric acid converts to gaseousisocyanic acid (HNCO). Isocyanic acid reacts with NO2 inthe exhaust to form nitrogen, carbon dioxide, and water,all of which are normal constituents of the air. (a) Write balanced equations for these two reactions. (b) If the process described earlier became practical, howmuch cyanuric acid (in kilograms) would be requiredto absorb the 1.71010kgNO2 generated annuallyin auto exhaust in the United States?arrow_forward
