Janet observes that bubbles rise inside water when water is heated. Which of the following best names and explains the change that causes bubbles to rise?

Boiling

Explanation:

When a liquid is heated, the vapor pressure rises steadily. When water attains a temperature of 100°C or 212°F its vapor pressure is now equal to the atmospheric pressure at sea level, this is what we mean by boiling.

When this occurs, water continues to evaporate untill the vapor pressure inside the bubbles becomes high enough to stop water bubbles from collapsing again from the pressure of the water around it so the bubbles rise and break the surface.

n2(g) + 3h2-> 2nh3(g)   this is the balanced equation

note the mole ratio between n2, h2 and nh3.   it is 1 : 3 : 2   this will be important.

moles n2 present = 28.0 g n2 x 1 mole n2/28 g = 1 mole n2 present

moles h2 present = 25.0 g h2 x 1 mole h2/2 g = 12.5 moles h2 present

based on mole ratio, n2 is limiting in this situation because there is more than enough h2 but not enough n2.

moles nh3 that can be produced = 1 mole n2 x 2 moles nh3/mole n2 = 2 moles nh3 can be produced

grams of nh3 that can be produced = 2 moles nh3 x 17 g/mole = 34 grams of nh3 can be produced

note:   the key to this problem is recognizing that n2 is limiting, and therefore limits how much nh3 can be produced.
