Answer: The coefficient of nitrogen in the given equation is 2.
Explanation: The reaction for the oxidation of methamphentamine with oxygen gas in the body is given by:
By Stoichiometry,
4 moles of methamphentamine reacts with 55 moles of oxygen gas to produce 40 moles of carbon dioxide gas, 30 moles of water and 2 moles of nitrogen gas.
Coefficient of
Coefficient of
Coefficient of
Coefficient of
Coefficient of
Hence, the coefficient of nitrogen in the given equation is 2.
Finding percent composition is fairly easy. You only need to divide the mass of an element by the total mass of the compound. We can do this one element at a time.
First, let's find the total mass by using the masses of the elements given on the periodic table.
7 x 12.011 (mass of Carbon) = 84.077
5 x 1.008 (mass of Hydrogen) = 5.04
3 x 14.007 (mass of Nitrogen) = 42.021
6 x 15.999 (mass of Oxygen) = 95.994
Add all of those pieces together.
84.077 + 5.04 + 42.021 + 95.994 = 227.132 g/mol is your total. Since we also just found the mass of each individual element, the next step will be very easy.
Carbon: 84.077 / 227.132 = 0.37016 ≈ 37.01 %
Hydrogen: 5.04 / 227.132 = 0.022189 ≈ 2.22 %
Nitrogen: 42.021 / 227.132 = 0.185 ≈ 18.5 %
Oxygen: 95.994 / 227.132 = 0.42263 ≈ 42.26 %
You can check your work by making sure they add up to 100%. The ones I just found add up to 99.99, which is close enough. A small difference (no more than 0.03 in my experience) is just a matter of where you rounded your numbers.
Answer: 6.162g of Ag2SO4 could be formed
Explanation:
Given;
0.255 moles of AgNO3
0.155 moles of H2SO4
Balanced equation will be given as;
2AgNO3(aq) + H2SO4(aq) -> Ag2SO4(s) + 2HNO3(aq)
Seeing that 2 moles of AgNO3 is required to react with 1 moles of H2SO4 to produce 1 mole of Ag2SO4,
Therefore the number of moles of Ag2SO4 produced is given by,
n(Ag2SO4) = 0.255 mol of AgNO3 ×
[0.155mol H2SO4 ÷ 2 mol AgNO3] x
[ 1 mol Ag2SO4 ÷ 1 mol H2SO4]
= 0.0198 mol of Ag2SO4.
mass = no of moles x molar mass
From literature, molar mass of Ag2SO4 = 311.799g/mol.
Thus,
Mass = 0.0198 x 311.799
= 6.162g
Therefore, 6.162g of Ag2SO4 could be formed
