There are two steps in the usual industrial preparation of acrylic acid, the immediate precursor of several useful plastics. In
adell [148]

Answer:

The net change in enthalpy for the formation of one mole of acrylic acid from calcium carbide, water and carbon dioxide is 523.2 kJ.

Explanation:

Step 1:

CaC_2(s) + 2H_2O(g)\rightarrow C_2H_2(g) + Ca(OH)_2(s),\Delta H_1=414.0 kJ...[1]

Step 2 :

6C_2H_2(g) + 3CO_2(g) + 4H_2O(g)\rightarrow 5CH_2CHCO_2H(g) \Delta H_2=132.0kJ..[2]

Adding 6 × [1] and [2]:

6CaC_2(s) + 12H_2O(g)\rightarrow 6C_2H_2(g) + 6Ca(OH)_2(s)

6C_2H_2(g)+3CO_2(g)+16H_2O(g)\rightarrow 5CH_2CHCO_2H(g)

we get :

6CaC_2(s) + 8H_2O(g)+3CO_2(g)\rightarrow 5CH_2CHCO_2H(g)+ 6Ca(OH)_2(s),\Delta H'=?

\Delta H'=6\times \Delta H_1+\Delta H_2

\Delta H'=6\times 414.0 kJ+132.0kJ

\Delta H'=2,626 kJ

Energy released on formation of 5 moles of acrylic acid = 2,626 kJ

Energy released on formation of 1 mole of acrylic acid:

\frac{ 2,626 kJ}{5 } = 523.2 kJ

A scientist measures the standard enthalpy change for the following reaction to be 67.9 kJ:
bekas [8.4K]

Answer: The standard enthalpy of formation  of H_2O(g) is  -252.1 kJ/mol.

Explanation:

The balanced chemical reaction is,

Fe_2O_3(s)+3H_2(g)\rightarrow 2Fe(s)+3H_2O(g)

The expression for enthalpy change is,

\Delta H=[n\times H_f_{products}]-[n\times H_f_{reactantss}]

Putting the values we get :

\Delta H=[2\times H_f{Fe}+3\times H_f{H_2O}]-[1\times H_f{Fe_2O_3}+3\times H_f{H_2}]

67.9kJ=[(2\times 0)+(3\times H_f{H_2O})]-[(1\times -824.2kJ/mol)+3\times 0kJ/mol)]

H_f{H_2O}=-252.1kJ/mol

Thus standard enthalpy of formation  of H_2O(g) is  -252.1 kJ/mol.

A helium-filled balloon has a volume of 2.48 L and a pressure of 150 kPa. The volume of the balloon increases to 2.98 L after yo
Tema [17]

Answer:

THE NEW PRESSURE OF THE HELIUM GAS AT 2.98 L VOLUME IS 124.8 kPa.

AT AN INCREASE ALTITUDE, THERE IS A LOWER PRESSURE ENVIRONMENT AND THE HELIUM GAS PRESSURE DECREASES AND HENCE AN INCREASE IN VOLUME.

Explanation:

The question above follows Boyle's law of the gas law as the temperature is kept constant.

Boyle's law states that the pressure of a fixed mass of gas is inversely proportional to the volume, provided the temperature remains constant.

Mathematically, P1 V1 = P2 V2

P1 = 150 kPa = 150 *10^3 Pa

V1 = 2.48 L

V2 = 2.98 L

P2 = ?

Rearranging the equation, we obtain;

P2 = P1 V1 / V2

P2 = 150 kPa * 2.48 / 2.98

P2 = 372 *10 ^3 / 2.98

P2 = 124.8 kPa.

The new pressure of the gas when at a height which increases the volume of the helium gas to 2.98 L is 124.8 kPa.

Why are elements and compounds classified as pure substances?
IgorC [24]

Pure substances contain a single type of chemical species, either element or compound. Elements cannot be further broken into simpler units by chemical methods. If we consider a sample of elements, it has a single type of atoms present in it. A compound has one or more atoms bound together chemically. Compounds can be broken down into simpler units by chemical means. When we consider a sample of a single compound say water, it has all the pure water molecules. Hence, elements and compounds are pure substances.
