a) What volume of air is required by 1.00m3 of ammonia? (Take air to be 20% oxygen and 80% nitrogen)
b) Assuming the reaction is complete, what volumes of what gases will be preset in the mixture leaving the catalyst for an input of 1.00m3 of ammonia? (Assume that the gas volumes are all measured at the temperature of the catalyst)
10cm3 of unknown hydrocarbon was sparked with 100cm3 of oxygen (an excess). When the resulting gases were cooled back to the original room temperature, they had a volume of 75cm3. Exposure of the gases to sodium hydroxide solution reduced the volume to 35cm3. Find the formula of the hydrocarbon.
Any help would be much appreciated
If these are all at RTP, remember that 1 mole of a gas occupies 24dm3 (24000cm3). So convert the volumes to moles.
Remember that with these kinds of questions you need to take into account any remaining oxygen. The sodium hydroxide bit probably refers to water vapour being absorbed (not 100% sure of this).
