1. If she wrote that the mass of nitrogen gas as 114.6 g and the mass of fluorine gas as 354.8 g which is the limiting reagent in this case? 2. The mass of nitrogen trifluoride produced that she wrote is 469.4 g. What is the theoretical mass of nitrogen trifluoride produced calculated using the given masses
Ideal and Real Gases
Ideal gases obey conditions of the general gas laws under all states of pressure and temperature. Ideal gases are also named perfect gases. The attributes of ideal gases are as follows,
Gas Laws
Gas laws describe the ways in which volume, temperature, pressure, and other conditions correlate when matter is in a gaseous state. The very first observations about the physical properties of gases was made by Robert Boyle in 1662. Later discoveries were made by Charles, Gay-Lussac, Avogadro, and others. Eventually, these observations were combined to produce the ideal gas law.
Gaseous State
It is well known that matter exists in different forms in our surroundings. There are five known states of matter, such as solids, gases, liquids, plasma and Bose-Einstein condensate. The last two are known newly in the recent days. Thus, the detailed forms of matter studied are solids, gases and liquids. The best example of a substance that is present in different states is water. It is solid ice, gaseous vapor or steam and liquid water depending on the temperature and pressure conditions. This is due to the difference in the intermolecular forces and distances. The occurrence of three different phases is due to the difference in the two major forces, the force which tends to tightly hold molecules i.e., forces of attraction and the disruptive forces obtained from the thermal energy of molecules.
Your roommate, a history student, has stumbled across nitrogen trifluoride in their history textbook because it was used in the 1960s and 1970s as rocket fuel oxidizer. They remember learning about
1. If she wrote that the mass of nitrogen gas as 114.6 g and the mass of fluorine gas as 354.8 g which is the limiting reagent in this case?
2. The mass of nitrogen trifluoride produced that she wrote is 469.4 g. What is the theoretical mass of nitrogen trifluoride produced calculated using the given masses? Is this higher or lower than the mass that she wrote?
3. If it is too high or low, write down the difference between the two values.
