Title: How to work out the volume occupied by the gaseous products?
Post by: moon_bear on September 28, 2011, 09:30:30 AM
Hi there =]

Was just wondering if anyone could help me with this question, my brain is a bit mushy as have been at this for well over a few hours....
I'm not too sure how to go about it....do i find out the RAM of each of the gases and then using the Avogadro hypothesis, work it out from that ?
As in doing that the answer will need more than 3 significant figures....so i must be doing something wrong !!

Any help with this would be super massively appreciated !! =D
Thanks peeps

C3H5 (NO3)3 (l) + 3H2O (l) decomposes rapidly to produce nitrogen, carbon dioxide, water vapour, oxygen and heat energy according to Reaction 2, with an energy change known as the enthalpy of decomposition. The temperature of this reaction can exceed 5000 °C.

Reaction 2;
4C3H5(NO3)3 (l) = 12CO2 (g) + 10H2O(g) + 6N2 (g) + O2 (g) + heat

Calculate the volume occupied by the gaseous products from the complete decomposition of 4 moles of C3H5 (NO3)3 (l) + 3H2O (l), as shown in Reaction 2, when cooled to 25 °C and at atmospheric pressure. Express your answer to three significant figures, and explain your reasoning.

Well, you may be surprised to learn that the people that hang out here on a semi-regular basis don't actually have nothing better to do than answer any random question that any equally random person wants to drop in and ask us.

Much like anyone else, should anyone actually know the answer to whateverthefuckyoujustposted, people are much more inclined to help other people that they actually know. Or at least have been introduced to.

This is a much longer way of saying what Wunderkind just said. Go introduce yourself, but there's no guarantees anyone will want to help you, or even be able to answer your question at all.

I like the Avocado hypothesis with just a little salt and pepper.

Ok, a lot of salt and pepper.

Say, moon_bear -- you should introduce yourself in the New Kids section, and stick around for a while. You might like it even if none of us can help you with gaseous expansion (at least not the kind you need help with).

Hi Moon Girl.  Do we know your friend?

Well, sorry I don't know the answer to your question.

Didn't Chris put the Homework Help forum here so people can ask their homework questions?  I know there's no guarantee that they'll get an answer, but they can at least ask the question.

umm, after the first two replies....i aint too sure....and i didnt realise that i should have put it in the introduction section.
i just went straight for the thing it was most relevant to, which was homework help...is it a crime to ask for a bit of help ??



No, not a crime. All we ask is that you introduce yourself.

It's like we're having this big party, and a friend of yours suggests that you go, and you walk in and head straight for the punch bowl, and we're all like "who is that"?

See?

Do you agree?

I Agree

moon_bear and redrabbit are posting from the same IP addy.

I'm not sure what the game is yet.

I banned redrabbit from the shoutbox, but not from the forums yet.

Let's watch and see!

Once we get your geek mothers impregnated with some real DNA,

Must be some pretty strong stuff since probably all of our mothers have gone through menopause already.

I'm with you there. I mean, for this to happen you have to first find an individual who needs to take a shit. OK that's easy. Then you'd need to stuff them up your ass. Now that's not an easy feat I would imagine. Next you need to shit them back out. I guess that wouldn't be so bad since the path was already cleared going in. Once they're out, they can have their shit, thus allowing you to have this elusive poo poo platter. It seems like a lot of work and I'm just not seeing the ROI on this one.
