13) Given the following balanced equation, determine the rate of reaction with respect to [H2].                                         N2(g) + 3H2(g)→ 2NH3(g)

18) The combustion of ethane (C2H6) in the presence of O2, is represented by the equation:                 2C2H6 (g)   +   7O2 (g)    →  4CO2 (g)   +    6H2O(l)(l) In this reaction

29) Calculate the vapor pressure of a solution made by dissolving 218 g of glucose (molar mass = 180.2 g/mol) in 460 mL of water at 30°C. What is the vapor-pressure lowering (Delta P)?     [The vapor pressure of pure water at 30°C is 31.82 mmHg.]  P1 = X1 P10

A hernia that results from weakness in the inguinal floor.
