Nitric oxide (no) can be formed from nitrogen, hydrogen and oxygen in two steps. in the first step, nitrogen and hydrogen react to form ammonia: n2(g) + 2 h_2(g) rightarrow 2 nh_3 (g) delta h = -92. kj in the second step, ammonia and oxygen react to form nitric oxide and water: 4 nh_3(g) + 5 o_2(g) rightarrow 4no(g) + 6 h_2o(g) delta h = -905. kj calculate the net change in enthalpy for the formation of one mole of nitric oxide from nitrogen, hydrogen and oxygen from these reactions. round your answer to the nearest .

Hot air balloons float in the air because of the difference in density between cold and hot air. in this problem, you will estimate the minimum temperature the gas inside the balloon needs to be, for it to take off. to do this, use the following variables and make these assumptions: the combined weight of the pilot basket together with that of the balloon fabric and other equipment is w. the volume of the hot air inside the balloon when it is inflated is v. the absolute temperature of the hot air at the bottom of the balloon is th (where th> tc). the absolute temperature of the cold air outside the balloon is tc and its density is ďc. the balloon is open at the bottom, so that the pressure inside and outside the balloon is the same. as always, treat air as an ideal gas. use g for the magnitude of the acceleration due to gravity.
