How much heat energy is required to convert 48.3 g of solid ethanol at -114.5 degree C to gasesous ethanol at 135.3 degree C? Th
OLEGan [10]

Answer:

7.21 × 10⁴ J

Explanation:

Ethanol is solid below -114.5°c, liquid between -114.5°C and 78.4°C, and gaseous above 78.4°C.

<em>How much heat energy is required to convert 48.3 g of solid ethanol at -114.5°C to gaseous ethanol at 135.3 °C?</em>

<em />

We need to calculate the heat required in different stages and then add them.

The moles of ethanol are:

48.3g.\frac{1mol}{46.07g} =1.05mol

Solid-liquid transition

Q₁ = ΔHfus . n = (4.60 kJ/mol) . 1.05 mol = 4.83 kJ = 4.83 × 10³ J

where,

ΔHfus: molar heat of fusion

n: moles

Liquid: from -114.5°C to 78.4°C

Q₂ = c(l) . m . ΔT = (2.45 J/g.°C) . 48.3g . [78.4°C-(-114.5°C)] = 2.28 × 10⁴ J

where,

c(l): specific heat capacity of the liquid

ΔT: change in the temperature

Liquid-gas transition

Q₃ = ΔHvap . n = (38.56 kJ/mol) . 1.05 mol = 40.5 kJ = 40.5 × 10³ J

where,

ΔHvap: molar heat of vaporization

Gas: from 78.4°C to 135.3°C

Q₄ = c(g) . m . ΔT = (1.43 J/g.°C) . 48.3g . (135.3°C-78.4°C) = 3.93 × 10³ J

where

c(g): specific heat capacity of the gas

Total heat required

Q₁ + Q₂ + Q₃ + Q₄ = 4.83 × 10³ J + 2.28 × 10⁴ J + 40.5 × 10³ J + 3.93 × 10³ J = 7.21 × 10⁴ J

Can some atoms exceed the limits of the octet rule in bonding? If so, give an example.
harkovskaia [24]

Answer:

Yes. Example: <u>Sulfur hexafluoride (SF₆) molecule</u>

Explanation:

According to the octet rule, elements tend to form chemical bonds in order to have <u>8 electrons in their valence shell</u> and gain the stable s²p⁶ electronic configuration.

However, this rule is generally followed by main group elements only.

Exception: <u>SF₆ molecule</u>

In this molecule, six fluorine atoms are attached to the central sulfur atom by single covalent bonds.

<u>Each fluorine atom has 8 electrons in their valence shells</u>. Thus, it <u>follows the octet rule.</u>

Whereas, there are <u>12 electrons around the central sulfur atom</u> in the SF₆ molecule. Therefore, <u>sulfur does not follow the octet rule.</u>

<u>Therefore, the SF₆ molecule is known as a </u><u>hypervalent molecule</u><u> or expanded-valence molecule.</u>

<u>Chemistry</u>

<u>Atomic Structure</u>

  • Reading a Periodic Tables
  • Moles

<u>Stoichiometry</u>

  • Using Dimensional Analysis
  • Analyzing Reactions RxN
<h3>Explanation:</h3>

<u>Step 1: Define</u>

[RxN - Balanced] C₆H₁₂O₆ → 2C₂H₅OH + 2CO₂

[Given] 500. g C₆H₁₂O₆ (Glucose)

[Solve] moles C₂H₅OH (Ethanol)

<u>Step 2: Identify Conversions</u>

[RxN] 1 mol C₆H₁₂O₆ → 2 mol C₂H₅OH

[PT] Molar mass of C - 12.01 g/mol

[PT] Molar Mass of H - 1.01 g/mol

[PT] Molar Mass of O - 16.00 g/mol

Molar Mass of C₆H₁₂O₆ - 6(12.01) + 12(1.01) + 6(16.00) = 180.18 g/mol

<u>Step 3: Stoichiometry</u>

  1. [DA] Set up conversion:                                                                                 \displaystyle 500 \ g \ C_6H_{12}O_6(\frac{1 \ mol \ C_6H_{12}O_6}{180.18 \ g \ C_6H_{12}O_6})(\frac{2 \ mol \ C_2H_5OH}{1 \ mol \ C_6H_{12}O_6})
  2. [DA} Multiply/Divide [Cancel out units]:                                                         \displaystyle 5.55001 \ mol \ C_2H_5OH

<u>Step 4: Check</u>

<em>Follow sig fig rules and round. We are given 3 sig figs.</em>

5.55001 mol C₂H₅OH ≈ 5.55 mol C₂H₅OH

the copper anode is weighed before and after the electrolysis reation. if the copper anode is not completely dry when it is weig
Dmitrij [34]

Answer:

Faraday's constant will be smaller than it is supposed to be.

Explanation:

If the copper anode was not completely dry when its mass was measured, mass of the copper must be heavier than it should have been. Hence, the calculated Faraday’s constant would be smaller than it is supposed to be since when calculating Faraday’s Constant, the charge transferred is divided by the moles of electrons.
