Heat of combustion used to explain the relative stability of the compounds.

The heat of combustion definition is the variation in energy released in the form of heat through the burning of an amount of any substance, all reactants being in the standard state (temperature of 25 C and pressure of 1 atm).

When the amount is quantified for 1 mole of said substance, one can define this quantity as the molar heat of combustion.

The molar heat of combustion values are defined in kilojoules per mole (KJ/mol). The kilojoule is a unit of energy and corresponds to 1000 or Joules (J). Mole is a unit of measurement used to express the amount of matter.

Now sugar is a non electrolyte so comparatively more stable hence more energy required to decompose the sugar hence its heat of combustion value is -5639kJ/mol high.

Where as TNT used as an explosive so it is susceptible for reaction and combustion, hence low amount of heat of combustionnis required for TNT that is -3406kJ/mol whuch is comparatively lower.

Answer: Using more fossil fuels

Explanation: Burning fossil fuels releases Green House gasses into the atmosphere, such as carbon dioxide. The carbon dioxide in the atmosphere traps in heat, which causes global temperatures to increase.

Onsider the following reaction at equilibrium:
11111nata11111 [884]

Explanation:

Any change in the equilibrium is studied on the basis of Le-Chatelier's principle.

This principle states that if there is any change in the variables of the reaction, the equilibrium will shift in the direction to minimize the effect.

For the given equation:

C(s)+H_2O(l)\leftrightharpoons CO(g)+H_2(g)

A. C is added to the reaction mixture.

If the concentration of reactant specie is increased , according to the Le-Chatlier's principle , the equilibrium will shift in the direction where decrease in concentration of reactant specie occurs. So, on increasing C ,equilibrium will shift in right direction.

B. H_2O is condensed and removed from the reaction mixture.

If the concentration of reactant specie is decreased , according to the Le-Chatlier's principle , the equilibrium will shift in the direction where increase in concentration of reactant specie occurs. So, on removing water vapor ,the equilibrium will shift in left direction.

C. CO is added to the reaction mixture.

If the concentration of product specie is increased , according to the Le-Chatlier's principle , the equilibrium will shift in the direction where decrease in concentration of product specie occurs. So, on increasing CO, the equilibrium will shift in left direction.

D. H_2 is removed from the reaction mixture.

If the concentration of product specie is decreased , according to the Le-Chatlier's principle , the equilibrium will shift in the direction where increase in concentration of product specie occurs. So, on removing hydrogen , the equilibrium will shift in right direction.

Which of the following could happen when infrared radiation is absorbed by a molecule ?
Leto [7]

Answer:

       E) Intramolecular bond angles change

Explanation:

Infrared Radiation:

IR is electromagnetic radiations. The wavelength i.e. 700nm to 1000 mm of infrared is longer than invisible light and Its frequency is lower than light, that's why it is invisible to light.

  • When IR radiation strike the molecule it absorbed by this molecule.
  • This radiation used to identify and study chemicals.
  • Infrared radiation interact with intra-bonds of the molecule.
  • Bonds in the molecules have vibrational translational and rotational movements
  • Due to these vibration, rotation and translation movement it absorb a radiation of specific frequency and wavelength
  • These movements of bond are very small and absorbs radiations of very low frequency
  • So when Infrared light or radiation absorbed the intra-bonds of the molecule get affected and angles of these bonds changes.
  • As the frequency of the absorbed radiation matches the frequency of the bond that vibrates.

So

The correct option is option E

       E) Intramolecular bond angles change

* Note:

it couldn't be option A as the frequency of IR is not enough to rotate a whole molecule

It Couldn't be option B as IR rations are electromagnetic radiation of longer wave length so it one can not see it with light so how it will glow a molecule

It also not could be the option C as for the excitation of electrons require much higher energy.

It also not the option D as nuclear magnetic spin is associated with nuclear magnetic radiation that are much different from IR.

If you produced 76.10 grams of potassium chloride in the reaction how many grams of potassium were required?
11111nata11111 [884]

Answer:39.8375

Explanation:

The mole for the equation is 1:1

Then the molar mass of KCl is 74.5g

Molar mass of k is 39

74.5g of KCl gives 39g of k

76.10g of KCl gives xg of k

X= 76.10×39/74.5

X= 2967.9/7

X= 39.8375

What changed about the peppered moth population during the second industrial revolution
Marysya12 [62]

Answer:

The months became darker colored and more darker colored moths were sighted.

Explanation:

All of the new air pollution caused the moths to alter there wings and bodies. The moths had no adaptation to this air pollution, causing them to be discolored.
