The molar mass of the unknown gas is determined as 17.75 g.

<h3>Rate of gas diffusion</h3>

The rate of gas diffusion is given by Graham's law.

R₁√M₁ = R₂√M₂

where;

R₁ is the rate of diffusion of the unknown gas
M₁ is the molecular mass of the unknown gas
R₂ is rate of diffusion of chlorine gas
M₂ is the molecular mass of chlorine gas

$\frac{R_1}{R_2} = \sqrt{\frac{M_2}{M_1} } \\\\\frac{2R_2}{R_2} = \sqrt{\frac{71}{M_1} }\\\\2 = \sqrt{\frac{71}{M_1} }\\\\2^2 = \frac{71}{M_1} \\\\M_1 = \frac{71}{4} \\\\M_1 = 17.75 \ g$

Ethanol (C2H5OH) melts a - 144 oC and boils at 78 °C. The enthalpy of fusion of ethanol is 5.02 kj/mol, and its enthalpy of vapo

hammer [34]

Answer:

For a: The total heat required is 36621.5 J

For b: The total heat required is 58944.5 J

Explanation:

For a:

To calculate the heat required at different temperature, we use the equation:

$q=mc\Delta T$ .........(1)

where,

q = heat absorbed

m = mass of substance

$c$ = specific heat capacity of substance

$\Delta T$ = change in temperature

To calculate the amount of heat required at same temperature, we use the equation:

$q=m\times \Delta H$ ........(2)

where,

q = heat absorbed

m = mass of substance

$\Delta H$ = enthalpy of the reaction

The processes involved in the given problem are:

$1.)C_2H_5OH(l)(35^oC)\rightarrow C_2H_5OH(l)(78^oC)\\2.)C_2H_5OH(l)(78^oC)\rightarrow C_2H_5OH(g)(78^oC)$

For process 1:

We are given:

Change in temperature remains the same.

$m=42.0g\\c_l=2.3J/g.K\\T_2=78^oC\\T_1=35^oC\\\Delta T=[T_2-T_1]=[78-35]^oC=43^oC=43K$

Putting values in equation 1, we get:

$q_1=42.0g\times 2.3J/g.K\times 43K\\\\q_1=4153.8J$

For process 2:

We are given:

Conversion factor: 1 kJ = 1000 J

Molar mass of ethanol = 46 g/mol

$m=42.0g\\\Delta H_{vap}=38.56kJ/mol=\frac{35.56kJ}{1mol}\times (\frac{1000J}{1kJ})\times (\frac{1}{46g/mol})=773.04J/g$

Putting values in equation 2, we get:

$q_2=42.0g\times 773.04J/g\\\\q_2=32467.7J$

Total heat required = $[q_1+q_2]$

Total heat required = $[4153.8J+32467.7J]=36621.5J$

Hence, the total heat required is 36621.5 J

For b:

The processes involved in the given problem are:

$1.)C_2H_5OH(s)(-155^oC)\rightarrow C_2H_5OH(s)(-144^oC)\\2.)C_2H_5OH(s)(-144^oC)\rightarrow C_2H_5OH(l)(-144^oC)\\3.)C_2H_5OH(l)(-144^oC)\rightarrow C_2H_5OH(l)(78^oC)\\4.)C_2H_5OH(l)(78^oC)\rightarrow C_2H_5OH(g)(78^oC)$

For process 1:

We are given:

Change in temperature remains the same.

$m=42.0g\\c_s=0.97J/g.K\\T_2=-144^oC\\T_1=-155^oC\\\Delta T=[T_2-T_1]=[-144-(-155)]^oC=11^oC=11K$

Putting values in equation 1, we get:

$q_1=42.0g\times 0.97J/g.K\times 11K\\\\q_1=448.14J$

For process 2:

We are given:

$m=42.0g\\\Delta H_{fusion}=5.02kJ/mol=\frac{5.02kJ}{1mol}\times (\frac{1000J}{1kJ})\times (\frac{1}{46g/mol})=109.13J/g$

Putting values in equation 2, we get:

$q_2=42.0g\times 109.13J/g\\\\q_2=4583.5J$

For process 3:

We are given:

Change in temperature remains the same.

$m=42.0g\\c_l=2.3J/g.K\\T_2=78^oC\\T_1=-144^oC\\\Delta T=[T_2-T_1]=[78-(-144)]^oC=222^oC=222K$

Putting values in equation 1, we get:

$q_3=42.0g\times 2.3J/g.K\times 222K\\\\q_3=21445.2J$

For process 4:

We are given:

$m=42.0g\\\Delta H_{vap}=38.56kJ/mol=\frac{38.56kJ}{1mol}\times (\frac{1000J}{1kJ})\times (\frac{1}{46g/mol})=773.04J/g$

Putting values in equation 2, we get:

$q_4=42.0g\times 773.04J/g\\\\q_4=32467.7J$

Total heat required = $[q_1+q_2+q_3+q_4]$

Total heat required = $[448.14+4583.5+21445.2+32467.7]J=58944.5J$

Hence, the total heat required is 58944.5 J

The standard cell potential (E°cell) for the reaction below is +0.63 V. The cell potential for this reaction is ________ V when

tia_tia [17]

Answer : The cell potential for this reaction is 0.50 V

Explanation :

The given cell reactions is:

$Pb^{2+}(aq)+Zn(s)\rightarrow Zn^{2+}(aq)+Pb(s)$

The half-cell reactions are:

Oxidation half reaction (anode): $Zn\rightarrow Zn^{2+}+2e^-$

Reduction half reaction (cathode): $Pb^{2+}+2e^-\rightarrow Pb$

First we have to calculate the cell potential for this reaction.

Using Nernest equation :

$E_{cell}=E^o_{cell}-\frac{2.303RT}{nF}\log \frac{[Zn^{2+}]}{[Pb^{2+}]}$

where,

F = Faraday constant = 96500 C

R = gas constant = 8.314 J/mol.K

T = room temperature = $25^oC=273+25=298K$

n = number of electrons in oxidation-reduction reaction = 2

$E^o_{cell}$ = standard electrode potential of the cell = +0.63 V

$E_{cell}$ = cell potential for the reaction = ?

$[Zn^{2+}]$ = 3.5 M

$[Pb^{2+}]$ = $2.0\times 10^{-4}M$

Now put all the given values in the above equation, we get:

$E_{cell}=(+0.63)-\frac{2.303\times (8.314)\times (298)}{2\times 96500}\log \frac{3.5}{2.0\times 10^{-4}}$

$E_{cell}=0.50V$

Therefore, the cell potential for this reaction is 0.50 V

How does a hydroelectric power plant convert energy?

Oksana_A [137]

Answer:

D. As water flows through the channels toward the turbines, it has kinetic energy. This is changed to mechanical energy as the water turns the turbines. Then the mechanical energy of the turbines is changed to electrical energy by the generator.

Explanation:

I hope this helps. :)
