(a) Concentrated nitric acid oxidises phosphorus to phosphhoric acid according to the following equation;
P+5HNO3(conc.)→H3PO4+H2O+5NO2
If 9.3 g of phosphorus was used in the reaction, calculate;
(i) Number of mles of phosphorus take.
(ii) The mass of phosphoric acid formed.
(iii) The volume of nitrogen dioxide produced at STP.
(b) (i) 67.2 Litres of hydrogen combines with 44.8 letres of nitrogen to form ammonia under specific conditions as:
N_2(g) +3H_2(g) \rightarrow 2NH_3(g)
Calculate the volume of ammonia produced.
What is the other substance, if any that remains in the resultant mixture?
(ii) The mass of 5.6dm3 of a certain gas at STP is 12.0 g. Calculate the relative molecular mass of the gas.
(iii) Find the total percentage of Magnesium in magnisum nitrate crystals, Mg(NO3)2.6H2O.
[Mg=24,N=14,O=16andH=1]
a)
b) N2(g)+3H2(g)→2NH3(g)
1:3→2
if1volofN2gives2volofNH3
then, 44.8lofN2gives=2÷1x44.8=89.6l
ii)volumeofthegasatSTP=5.6dm3=5.6l
mass of the gas = 12.0gm
volofSTP=mass÷molecularmass×22.4
5.6l=12÷mol.mass×22.4
molecularmass=12×22.4÷5.6=48gm
iii) Mg(NO3)2.6H2O.
[Mg=24,N=14,O=16andH=1]
percentageofMg=24÷256×100=9.37%
