The values of work, w, for the system if 16.5 g NaN 3 reacts completely at 1.00 atm and 22 ∘ C. The work done is -919 J.

The equation of the reaction is;

2 NaN 3 ( s ) ⟶ 2 Na ( s ) + 3 N 2 ( g )

Number of moles of NaN3 = 16.5 g/65 g/mol = 0.25 moles

If 2 moles of NaNa3 yields 3 moles of N2

0.25 moles of NaN3 yields 0.25 moles × 3 moles/2 moles

= 0.375 moles of N2

We need to find the volume change using the;

PV = nRT

P = 1.00 atm

V =?

n = 0.375 moles of N2

R = 0.082 atmLK-1mol-1

T = 22 ∘ C + 273 = 295 K

V = nRT/P

V = 0.375 × 0.082 × 295/ 1.00

V = 9.07 L

Recall that during expansion the gas does work. Work done by the gas is;

W = -PΔV

W =-( 1 atm × 9.07 L)

W = -9 Atm

Again;

1 L atm = 101.325 J

So,

-9 atmL = -9 atmL × 101.325 J/1 L atm

= -919 J

The work done is -919 J.

using the following thermochemical equation, determine the amount of heat produced from the combustion of 24.3 g benzene (c6h6).

aliya0001 [1]

the amount of heat produced from the combustion of 24.3 g benzene (c6h6) is ΔH = -976.5 kJ

There are two moles of benzene involved in the process (C6H6). Since the heat of this reaction is -6278 kJ, the burning of 2 moles of benzene will result in a heat loss of 6278 kJ. This reaction is exothermic.

Enthalpy, or the value of H, is a unit of measurement for heat that relies on the amount of matter present (number of moles).

Thus, 24.3 g of benzene contains:

n = mass/molar mass, where n = 24.3/78.11, and n = 0.311 moles.

2 moles = 6278 kJ

0.311 moles =x

By the straightforward direct three rule:

2x = -1953.08 x = -976.5 kJ

A student makes a sandwich with several layers of bread and cheese. Then the student cuts the sandwich and says it models how a

Ksenya-84 [330]

Answer:

Rock layer and sandwich layer is almost the same.

Why are rock layers are like sandwiches?

This geologic structure is called an anticline. Now gently bend your sandwich so that the layers are bowed downwards, thus creating a syncline. The presence of anticlines and synclines indicate strong forces that often form mountain ranges.

. Explain why some desert animals excrete uric acid rather than ammonia. (2 marks)

avanturin [10]

Answer:

AFAIK

Explanation:

uric acid is much less toxic than ammonia, hence bigger concentrations of it are tolerated in the body. This means you can excrete it while excreting very little water - beneficial wherever water's not abundant.

There's a tradeoff though, uric acid requires more energy to synthesize than ammonia, so pretty much all fish, say, excrete ammonia rather than uric acid - it's no problem to dilute ammonia since there's no water shortage.

Be sure to answer all parts. find the most acidic hydrogen in tert−butyl methyl ketone and write a chemical equation for the pro

sleet_krkn [62]

Those Hydrogen atoms which are present at alpha position to carbonyl group are mildly acidic in nature. When such acidic proton containing carbonyl compounds are treated with strong base, they yield enolates. The negative charge created on alpha carbon resonates and shifts to carbonyl oxygen resulting in formation of carbon double bond carbon.

In tert−butyl methyl ketone there are two carbons at each alpha position. Among these two carbons only methyl carbon contains hydrogen atoms while the second one is bonded to further three carbons making it Quaternary carbon. The base abstracts proton from methyl group and enolate is formed.

tert−butyl methyl ketone in this case acts as acid, Hydroxyl ion acts as base, while the enolate generated is the conjugate base of tert−butyl methyl ketone and Water produced is the conjugate acid of hydroxide ion.
