Molten lead bromide is electrolysed.
The products of this electrolysis are:
The mass of solid left in the crucible is less than the theoretical mass of calcium oxide that should be obtained. A possible reason for this is that
(d) (i) Calculate the relative formula mass of calcium carbonate, CaCO3. (relative atomic masses: C = 12, O = 16, Ca = 40)
(ii) Calculate the atom economy for the formation of calcium oxide in this reaction.
You must show your working. (relative atomic masses: C = 12, O = 16, Ca = 40; relative formula mass: calcium oxide = 56)
An advantage of producing a metal by electrolysis is that:

State the type of reaction occurring when nitric acid reacts with ammonia.
What salt is formed in this reaction?
Calculate the minimum volume of air, measured at room temperature and pressure, required to react with 1000 g nitrogen oxide to form nitrogen dioxide.
Assume that the air contains 20% oxygen by volume. (relative atomic masses: N = 14, O = 16) 1 mol of gas occupies 24 dm3 at room temperature and pressure)
Volume of air = .......... dm3
Heat energy is given out when ammonia reacts with oxygen.
The conditions chosen for the reaction are:
excess air, rather than just the right amount
a pressure of 10 atm, rather than atmospheric pressure
a temperature of 900 °C, rather than room temperature
Explain the effect of the conditions chosen on the equilibrium yield of nitrogen oxide and on the rate of attainment of equilibrium.
