Calculate the surface area in (mĀ²) of a catalyst that adsorbs 10Ā³ cmĀ³ of nitrogen reduced to STP per gram in order to form the monolayer. The effective area (in mĀ²) occupied by Nā molecule on the surface is: (surface area of Nā = 1.62 Ć 10ā»Ā¹āµ cmĀ²).

Step 1
Given that the catalyst adsorbs 10^3 cm^3 of nitrogen per gram, we can calculate the number of moles of nitrogen using the molar volume at STP (22.414 L/mol). Number of moles of nitrogen = 10^3 cm^3 / 22.414 cm^3/mol = 44.64 mol/g Show moreā¦

For a 110-g sample of fused copper catalyst, a volume of 8.4 !! 103 mm3 of nitrogen (measured at standard temperature and pressure, 0 !!C and 1 atm) is required to form a monolayer upon condensation. Calculate the surface area of the catalyst. (Take the area covered by a nitrogen molecule as 0.162 nm!! and recall that, for an ideal gas, pV = nRT, where n is the number of moles of the gas.) Express your answer to five significant figures.

Ammonia gas, $\mathrm{NH}_{3}$, reacts with oxygen and platinum catalyst to give $25.0 \mathrm{~L}$ of nitrogen monoxide gas at STP according to the chemical reaction: $$\mathrm{NH}_{3}(g)+\mathrm{O}_{2}(g) \stackrel{\mathrm{Pt} / \mathrm{8} 25^{\circ} \mathrm{C}}{\longrightarrow} \mathrm{NO}(g)+\mathrm{H}_{2}\mathrm{O}(l)$$ Draw a stoichiometry concept map and calculate: (a) the volume of ammonia that reacted at STP
