A chemist is studying the rate of the Haber synthesis: N2 + 3H2 2NH3 Starting with a closed reactor containing 1.25 mol/L of N2 and 0.50 mol/L of H2, the chemist finds that the H2 concentration has fallen to 0.25 mol/L in 44 seconds. What is the N2 concentration after 44 seconds?

1.17 M

Explanation:

Step 1: Write the balanced equation

N₂ + 3 H₂ ⇒ 2 NH₃

Step 2: Calculate the rate of disappearance of H₂

We will use the following expression.

rH₂ = - Δ[H₂]/t = - (0.25 M - 0.50 M)/44 s = 0.0057 M/s

Step 3: Calculate the rate of disappearance of N₂

The molar ratio of N₂ to H₂ is 1:3.

0.0057 mol H₂/L.s × 1 mol N₂/3 mol H₂ = 0.0019 mol N₂/L.s

Step 4: Calculate the final concentration of N₂

We will use the following expression.

[N₂] = [N₂]₀ - rN₂ × t

[N₂] = 1.25 mol/L - 0.0019 mol/L.s × 44 s

[N₂] = 1.17 M

the electron configuration that you gave me has 16 electrons ergo it has 16 protons ergo it is the element sulfur.

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).
