Sodium azide (NaN3) can decompose at 300 o C to produce sodium metal (Na) and nitrogen gas (N2). This is one of the key reactions in an automobile air bag. The balanced equation for this reaction is: 2NaN3(s) →2Na (s) + 3 N2(g) Part A If 0.189 mol mole of NaN3 is completely decomposed at 300.0 o   C and 1.00 atm, what volume (in L) of nitrogen gas would be produced? Express your answer using the correct number of significant...

In a laboratory experiment, students synthesized a new compound and found that when 11.77 grams of the compound were dissolved to make 253.3 mL of a benzene solution, the osmotic pressure generated was 3.94 atm at 298 K. The compound was also found to be nonvolatile and a non-electrolyte.   What is the molecular weight they determined for this compound?

Sodium chloride is an ionic compound; we can effectively model it as being composed of sodium atoms with one electron removed next to chlorine atoms with one electron added. The attractive force between the positive and negative charges holds the crystal together. If you model the sodium and chlorine ions as point charges separated by 0.28 nm, the spacing in the crystal, what is the magnitude of the attractive force between the two ions? How does this compare to the...

Polly Ester has synthesized a new compound, ML3. Elemental analysis confirms that the molecule contains one central atom, M, with three atoms, L's, attached to the central atom. Polly has postulated three possible 3-coordinate structures for the molecule with point groups D3H, C2V and C3V. Polly then records the IR and Ramen specta of the molecule and finds three M-L stretches in both the IR and Ramen spectra, with each IR and Ramen band being coincident ( bands occur at...

Problem (simple linear regression). McDonald’s Corporation reported total revenues (X) and net profits (Y) from 1998 to 2005. Using 2-var statistics, we get: x-average=15.86; standard deviation of X =2.82; y-average=1.795, standard deviation of Y=0.5278; n=8 (from 1998 to 2005). Sum of squared X=2067.50, sum of squared Y=27.73, and sum of the product of X and Y =233.28. The least-square regression is Y (net profit) =0.2107+0.0999X (total revenue), with ESS=1.3965, and standard error of estimate (Sy,x)=0.4824. For one year with total...

Sodium salicylate (HOC6H4COONa) is used in medicine as pain killer. It can be prepared from sodium phenolate (C6H5ONa) and carbon dioxide. Most commonly, solutions of sodium phenolate are produced by treating phenol with sodium hydroxide. Suppose phenol is run into a 30% excess hot aqueous caustic soda (87% NaOH by mass) with 130 m3 dry carbon dioxide at 300 kPa and 100oC per hr. After the desired amount of carbon dioxide is absorbed and reacted, sodium salicylate solution is withdrawn....
