Calculate the volume of nitrogen obtained from 200 liters of air if it is known that the volume fraction of nitrogen in the air is 78%.

Given: V (air) = 200 l.
W (N2) = 78%
Find: V (N2) -?
Decision:
1. Let us write down the equation for obtaining atmospheric nitrogen from air using a nitrogen generator device.
O2 + 4N2 + 2C = 2CO + 4N2 – OBP, nitrogen was obtained with the participation of hot coke;
2. We make up the proportion:
1 mol of gas at normal level – 22.4 liters;
X mol (air) – 200 liters. hence, X mol (air) = 1 * 200 / 22.4 = 0.89 mol;
0.89 mol (air) – X mol (N2);
-1 mol -4 mol from here, X mol (N2) = 0.89 * 4/1 = 3.56 mol.
3. Find the theoretical volume of nitrogen:
V (N2) = 3.56 * 22.4 = 79.7 liters.
The practical volume is calculated taking into account the volume fraction of N2 in the air:
V (N2) = 0.78 * 79.7 = 62.16 liters.
Answer: the volume of nitrogen is 62.16 liters.
