The following thermochemical equation is for the reaction of nitrogen(g) with oxygen(g) to form nitrogen dioxide(g). N2(g) + 2O2(g)2NO2(g) H = 66.4 kJ How many grams of N2(g) would be made to react if 14.2 kJ of energy were provided?

Respuesta :

Answer: The mass of nitrogen gas reacted to produce given amount of energy is 5.99 grams.

Explanation:

The given chemical reaction follows:

[tex]N_2(g)+2O_2(g)\rightarrow 2NO_2(g);\Delta H=66.4kJ[/tex]

We know that:

Molar mass of nitrogen gas = 28 g/mol

We are given:

Enthalpy change of the reaction = 14.2 kJ

To calculate the mass of nitrogen gas reacted, we use unitary method:

When enthalpy change of the reaction is 66.4 kJ, the mass of nitrogen gas reacted is 28 grams.

So, when enthalpy change of the reaction is 14.2 kJ, the mass of nitrogen gas reacted will be = [tex]\frac{28}{66.4}\times 14.2=5.99g[/tex]

Hence, the mass of nitrogen gas reacted to produce given amount of energy is 5.99 grams.
