Why is lead harmful to humans.

Exposure to small amounts of lead over a long period of time is called chronic toxicity. Lead is particularly dangerous because once it gets into a person's system, it is distributed throughout the body just like helpful minerals such as iron, calcium, and zinc. And lead can cause harm wherever it lands in the body.

Lead exposure can adversely affect nearly every system in the body. And because it often occurs with no obvious symptoms, it frequently goes undiagnosed until it's too late. Children younger than age 6 are especially vulnerable to lead poisoning, which can severely affect mental and physical development.

1) The heat of combustion for the gases hydrogen, methane and ethane are −285.8, −890.4 and −1559.9 kJ/mol respectively at 298K.

Morgarella [4.7K]

Answer:

The enthalpy of the reaction is 64.9 kJ/mol.

Explanation:

$H_2 + \frac{1}{2}O_2\rightarrow H_2O,\Delta H_1 =-285.8 kJ$ ..[1]

$CH_4 + 2O_2\rightarrow CO_2 + 2H_2O,\Delta H_2 =-890.4 kJ$ ..[2]

$C_2H_6 + \frac{7}{2}O_2\rightarrow 2CO_2 + 3H_2O,\Delta H_3= -1559.9 kJ$ ..[3]

$2CH_4(g)\rightarrow C_2H_6(g) + H_2(g),\Delta H_4=?$ ..[4]

2 × [2] - [1]- [3] = [4] (Using Hess's law)

$\Delta H_4=2\times \Delta H_2 -\Delta H_1 -\Delta H_3$

$\Delta H_4=2\times (-890.4 kJ)-(-285.8 kJ) -(-1559.9 kJ)$

$\Delta H_4=64.9 kJ/mol$

The enthalpy of the reaction is 64.9 kJ/mol.

What mass of mgo is produced from 2.00 moles of mg ? Mg +02 mgo

Vanyuwa [196]

Chemical Reactions and Moles of Reactants and Products
That is, it requires 2 moles of magnesium and 1 mole of oxygen to produce 2 moles of magnesium oxide. If only 1 mole of magnesium was present, it would require 1 ÷ 2 = ½ mole of oxygen gas to produce 2 ÷ 2 = 1 mole magnesium oxide.
