How many moles of nitrogen gas would be produced if 3.27 moles of copper(II) oxide were reacted with excess ammonia in the following chemical reaction? 2 NH3(g) + 3 CuO (s) – 3 Cu(s) + N2(g) + 3 H2O(g)

Moles of Nitrogen(N₂) gas would be produced : 1.09

The reaction coefficient in a chemical equation shows the mole ratio of the components of the reactants and products

If one mole of the reactant or product is known, then we can determine the moles of the other compounds involved in the reaction

Reaction

2NH₃(g) + 3CuO (s) ⇒ 3Cu(s) + N₂(g) + 3 H₂O(g)

Copper(II) oxide was reacted with excess Ammonia, so CuO as a limiting reactant and moles of the product is based on moles of CuO

moles of CuO = 3.27

From the equation, the mol ratio of CuO : mol N₂ = 3 : 1, so mol  N₂ :

why is arctic sea ice important? arctic sea ice keeps the polar regions cool and moderate global climate. sea ice has a bright surface; 80 percent of the sunlight that strikes it is reflected back into space. as sea ice melts in the summer, it exposes the dark ocean surface.

most historians agree that gabriel mouton, the vicar of st. paul’s church in lyons, france, is the “founding father” of the metric system. he proposed a decimal system of measurement in 1670. mouton based it on the length of one minute of arc of a great circle of the earth (now called a nautical mile, 1852 meters). he also proposed the swing-length of a pendulum with a frequency of one beat per second as the unit of length (about 25 cm). a pendulum beating with this length would have been fairly easy to produce, thus facilitating the widespread distribution of uniform standards. over the years, his work was revised, improved, and extended by a number of french scientists.

the political sponsor of weights and measures reform in the french revolutionary national assembly was the bishop of autun, better known as talleyrand. under his auspices, the french academy appointed several committees to carry out the work of developing a usable system of weights and measures for france. one of the committees recommended a decimalized measurement system based upon a length equal to one ten-millionth of the length of a quadrant of the earth’s meridian (i.e., one ten-millionth of the distance between the equator and the north pole).
