7 × 10² pounds of Cl₂ would be produced in a typical 8-h operating day.

<h3>What is Stoichiometry ?</h3>

Stoichiometry helps us use the balanced chemical equation to measures quantitative relationships and it is to calculate the amount of products and reactants that are given in a reaction.

<h3>What is Balanced chemical equation ?</h3>

The balanced chemical equation is the equation in which the number of atoms on the reactants side is equal to the number of atoms on the product side in an equation.

2Cl⁻ (aq) → Cl (g) + 2e⁻

According to stoichiometry, moles of Cl₂

$= (3 \times 10^4\ A) \left (\frac{\frac{C}{s}}{A} \right ) \left (\frac{3600\ s}{h} \right ) (8h) \left (\frac{1\ \text{mol}\ e^{-}}{9.65 \times 10^4\ C} \right ) \left (\frac{1\ \text{mol}\ Cl_2}{2\ \text{mol}\ e^-} \right )$

= 4477 moles

Pounds Cl₂

$= (4477\ \text{moles}\ Cl_2) \left (\frac{70.90\ g\ Cl_2}{\text{mol}} \right ) \left (\frac{1\ kg}{1000\ g} \right ) \left (\frac{2.205\ lb}{1\ kg} \right )$

= 7 × 10² lb

Thus from the above conclusion we can say that 7 × 10² pounds of Cl₂ would be produced in a typical 8-h operating day.

5. How much heat (in calories) is absorbed by a reaction when

Wewaii [24]

Answer:

1.2 × 10⁴ cal

Explanation:

Given data

Mass of water (m): 300 g

Initial temperature: 80 °C

Final temperature: 40°C

We can calculate the heat released by the water ( $Q_w$ ) when it cools using the following expression.

$Q_w = c \times m \times (T_f - T_i)$

where

c is the specific heat capacity of water (1 cal/g.°C)

$Q_w = \frac{1cal}{g.\°C} \times 300g \times (40\°C - 80\°C) = -1.2 \times 10^{4} cal$

According to the law of conservation of energy, the sum of the heat released by the water ( $Q_w$ ) and the heat absorbed by the reaction ( $Q_r$ ) is zero.

$Q_w + Q_r = 0\\Q_r = -Q_w = 1.2 \times 10^{4} cal$

Explanation:

GAAP is a generally accepted accounting principle in U.S. it refers to common sets of accepted accounting principle, standards, procedures that the companies and its accountants must follow in order to compile their financial statement.

IFRS are sets of international accounting standards That specify how the financial statements will disclose different types of transactions and other activities. The International Accounting Standards Board (IASB) issues IFRS which defines precisely how accountants are required to maintain and record their accounts. In an attempt to have an universal accounting system, IFRS was developed so that business and accounts can be interpreted from industry to industry, and country to country.
