Nitrogen dioxide is used industrially to produce nitric acid, but it contributes to acid rain and photochemical smog. What volume (in L) of nitrogen dioxide is formed at 735 torr and 28.2°C by reacting 4.95 cm3 of copper (d = 8.95 g/cm3 ) with 230.0 mL of nitric acid (d = 1.42 g/cm3 , 68.0% HNO3 by mass)?

The volume of nitrogen oxide formed is 35.6L

Explanation:

The reaction of nitric acid with copper is:

Cu(s) + 4HNO₃ → Cu(NO₃)₂ + 2NO₂(g) + 2H₂O(l)

Moles of copper are:

Moles of nitric acid are:

As 1 mol of Cu reacts with 4 moles of HNO₃:

0.697 mol Cu × (4mol HNO₃ / 1mol Cu) = 2.79 moles of HNO₃ will react. That means Cu is limiting reactant.

Moles of NO₂ produced are:

0.697 mol Cu × (2mol NO₂ / 1mol Cu) = 1.394 moles of NO₂

Using PV = nRT

Where P is pressure (735torr / 760 = 0.967atm); n are moles (1.394mol); R is gas constant (0.082atmL/molK); T is temperature (28.2°C + 273.15 = 301.35K).

Thus, volume is:

V = nRT / P

V = 1.394mol×0.082atmL/molK×301.35K / 0.967atm

V = 35.6L

The volume of nitrogen oxide formed is 35.6L

c. because step up transformer steps up the input voltage i.e increases the input voltage  

the number of turns are greater on the secondary side of step up transformer  

transformer does not handle dc current

the major pests we deal with are insects, weeds and fungal diseases. a pesticide is a product, whether organic or chemical, used to kill the target pest. there are other techniques gardeners should use that can prevent the severe infestations that make the use of pesticides necessary
