During an exothermic reaction, heat content in the surroundings increases because

1 answer:

4 0

Energy is transmitted to the surrounding in an exothermic reaction and this can be understood with the energy diagram of exothermic reaction attached with the answer.

<h3>What is an Exothermic Reaction ?</h3>

When a chemical reaction happens, energy is transferred to or from the surroundings.

When energy is transferred to the surroundings, this is called an exothermic reaction, and the temperature of the surroundings increases.

ΔH value negative –> energy released –> exothermic reaction

This happens because the reactants are at the higher energy state as compared to the products and therefore heat is liberated in the atmosphere to match the difference and therefore heat content in the surroundings increases.

The energy diagram for the exothermic reaction is attached with this answer.

Indicate whether the following balanced equations involve oxidation-reduction. Check all that apply. Check all that apply. 2H2SO

guapka [62]

Answer : The balanced equations involve oxidation-reduction are:

(a) $2H_2SO_4(aq)+2NaBr(s)\rightarrow Br_2(l)+SO_2(g)+Na_2SO_4(aq)+2H_2O(l)$

(b) $3SO_2(g)+2HNO_3(aq)+2H_2O(l)\rightarrow 3H_2SO_4(aq)+2NO(g)$

(c) $NaI(aq)+3HOCl(aq)\rightarrow NaIO_3(aq)+3HCl(aq)$

Explanation :

Redox reaction or Oxidation-reduction reaction : It is defined as the reaction in which the oxidation and reduction reaction takes place simultaneously.

Oxidation reaction : It is defined as the reaction in which a substance looses its electrons. In this, oxidation state of an element increases. Or we can say that in oxidation, the loss of electrons takes place.

Reduction reaction : It is defined as the reaction in which a substance gains electrons. In this, oxidation state of an element decreases. Or we can say that in reduction, the gain of electrons takes place.

(a) The given chemical reaction is:

$2H_2SO_4(aq)+2NaBr(s)\rightarrow Br_2(l)+SO_2(g)+Na_2SO_4(aq)+2H_2O(l)$

This reaction involve oxidation-reduction reaction because the oxidation state bromine changes from (-1) to (0) which shows oxidation and sulfur changes from (+6) to (+4) which shows reduction.

(b) The given chemical reaction is:

$3SO_2(g)+2HNO_3(aq)+2H_2O(l)\rightarrow 3H_2SO_4(aq)+2NO(g)$

This reaction involve oxidation-reduction reaction because the oxidation state sulfur changes from (+4) to (+6) which shows oxidation and nitrogen changes from (+5) to (+2) which shows reduction.

(c) The given chemical reaction is:

$NaI(aq)+3HOCl(aq)\rightarrow NaIO_3(aq)+3HCl(aq)$

This reaction involve oxidation-reduction reaction because the oxidation state iodine changes from (-1) to (+5) which shows oxidation and chlorine changes from (+5) to (-1) which shows reduction.

(d) The given chemical reaction is:

$PBr_3(l)+3H_2O(l)\rightarrow H_3PO_3(aq)+3HBr(aq)$

This reaction does not involve oxidation-reduction reaction because the oxidation state of element present on reactant and product side are same.

For the following, identify the most likely value for x.a. BHx b. CHx c. NHx d. CH2Clx

vekshin1

Given :

a. $BH_x$ b. $CH_x$ c. $NH_x$ d. $CH_2Cl_x$ .

To Find :

Find the most likely vale of x for each one .

Solution :

a . $BH_x$

Because boron have valency of 3 .

So , x = 3 .

b . $CH_x$

Valency of carbon is 4 .

x = 4 .

c . $NH_x$

Valency of nitrogen is 3 .

Therefore , x = 3 .

d . $CH_2Cl_x$

Now ,we know valency of carbon is 4 and hydrogen is 1 .

Also , two hydrogen are already there .

So , only 2 electrons left to share .

Since , chlorine have valency of 1 .

Therefore , only 2 electrons of chlorine can connect .

x = 2 .

Hence , this is the required solution .

4. a) The enthalpy change of combustion of hexane was measured using a calorimeter containing 200 cm3 of water; 0.5g of hexane (

mamaluj [8]

Answer:

The heat of combustion of hexane is -4324kjmol-1

Explanation:

Heat of combustion is the heat evolved when a mole of a substance is burned completely in oxygen under standard conditions.

To solve this problem, all the required values have been given.

Change in temperature ΔT = 30K

Mass of water =200cm3= 200g

Mass of Hexane burned = 0.5g

Step 1:

Find the amount of hear given off

Heat evolved= mass * specific eat capacity of water* temperature change

= 200 * 4.18 * 30

= 25080J

Step 2:

Calculate the relative molecular mass of hexane

RMM of C6H14 = 86g/mole.

Step 3:

Calculate the number of moles of Hexane burned

Numbrt of mole of hexane = mass / molar mass

n = 0.5 / 86

n = 0.0058mole

Step 4:

Calculate the enthalpy change of combustion for 1mole

Combustion of 0.0058mole hexane produces 25080J of heat energy

I mole hexane produces 25080 /0.0058

= 4324kJ of heat energy.

The enthalpy change of combustion of Hexane is -4,324kJmol-1.

There is no need to do anything else for the question.
