Given: cac2 + n2 → cacn2 + c in this chemical reaction, how many grams of n2 must be consumed to produce 265 grams of cacn2? express your answer to three significant figures. the reaction requires grams of n2.

Answer is: 92.638 g grams of nitrogen must be consumed.

Balanced chemical reaction: CaC₂ + N₂ → CaCN₂ + C.

m(CaCN₂) = 265 g; mass of calcium cyanamide.

M(CaCN₂) = 80.1 g/mol; molar mass of calcium cyanamide.

n(CaCN₂) = 265 g ÷ 80.1 g/mol.

n(CaCN₂) = 3.31 mol; amount of calcium cyanamide.

From balanced chemical reaction: n(CaCN₂) : n(N₂) = 1 : 1.

n(N₂) = 3.31 mol; amount of nitrogen.

m(N₂) = n(N₂) · M(N₂).

m(N₂) = 3.31 mol · 28 g/mol.

m(N₂) = 92.638 g; mass of nitrogen.

Answer : The grams of consumed is, 89.6 grams.

Solution : Given,

Mass of = 265 g

Molar mass of = 80 g/mole

Molar mass of = 28 g/mole

First we have to calculate the moles of .

The given balanced reaction is,

from the reaction, we conclude that

As, 1 mole of produces from 1 mole of

So, 3.2 moles of produces from 3.2 moles of

Now we have to calculate the mass of

Therefore, the grams of consumed is, 89.6 grams.

acid rain does not usually kill trees directly. instead, it is more likely to weaken the trees by damaging their leaves, limiting the nutrients available to them, or poisoning them with toxic substances slowly released from the soil. the main atmospheric pollutants that affect trees are nitrates and sulphates.
