The reaction between aluminium powder and anhydrous barium nitrate is used as the propellant
in some fireworks. The metal oxides and nitrogen are the only products.
Which volume of nitrogen, measured under room conditions, is produced when 0.783 g of
anhydrous barium nitrate reacts with an excess of aluminium?
A 46.8cm3
B 72.0cm3
C 93.6cm3
D 144cm3
Help ! :)

2Al+Ba(NO3)2--->Al2O3+Bao+N2
Mole of Ba(NO3)2= 0.783/(261)=3x10^-3 mole
Mole of N2=mole of Ba(NO3)2= 3x10^-3 mole
1 mole--->24 dm^3
3x10^-3= 24x(3x10^-3)=0.072 dm^3
0.072dm^3=72 cm^3.
the answer is B. right?

An organic compound J reacts with sodium to produce an organic ion with a charge of –3.
J reacts with NaOH(aq) to produce an organic ion with a charge of –1.
What could be the structural formula of J?
A HO2CCH(OH)CH2CO2H
B HO2CCH(OH)CH2CHO
C HOCH2CH(OH)CH2CO2H
D HOCH2COCH2CHO
Help !

I think C. (Na can react with both -CO2H and OH, there is 3 in C so -3 but NaOH only with -CO2H so -1) I'm not sure though as I didn't revise from a long time.

I have a question : http://papers.xtremepapers.com/CIE/Cambridge International A and AS Level/Chemistry (9701)/9701_w11_qp_11.pdf

Number 9, the answer is D but I don't know how to get it.

A reaction which causes the presence of oxides of nitrogen in car exhausts is the formation of
NO.
N2 + O2→ 2NO ∆H = +180kJmol–1
What is the bond energy in kJmol–1 of the bond between the atoms in NO?
A 655 B 835 C 1310 D 1670

PLEASE SOLVE AND EXPLAIN THIS QUESTION!

which year?

cud u please quote values of bonds broken and formed...
No, forget about the bonds broken - bonds formed; you can't do it that way. Only ONE compound is made, so all the bonds made are its own, and all the energy of the reaction goes to it and it alone. There are 2 moles of it, so the energy it used to make 2 compounds. To find the energy needed to make 1 mole, divide the energy needed to make 2 moles by 2. (It's given in the question). Now you have the energy needed to make 1 compound. You need to get the energy needed to break the bonds in that 1 compound. The number of bonds in the compound is 3, so you divide the energy by 3.

i believe the answer is A, first of all you see that 500K will give more K.E to the molecules, so D is out. Then since fraction of molecules cant be more then original, B is out. Finally, according to Boltzmann distribution laws the curve will become shorter and have a less sharp peak, so C is out, because the peaks are equal in C which isn't possible. :)
