CxHy     +  O2    -->    x CO2     +    y/2  H2O

 

Find the moles of CO2 :     18.9g  /  44 g/mol   =    .430 mol CO2   = .430 mol of C in compound

Find the moles of H2O:      5.79g / 18 g/mol     =     .322 mol H2O   = .166 mol of H in compound

 

Find the mass of C and H in the compound:

                             .430mol  x 12  =  5.16 g C

                              .166mol  x 1g   = .166g H   

 

When you add these up they indicate a mass of 5.33 g for the compound, not 5.80g as you stated in the problem.

Therefore it is likely that either the mass of the CO2 or the mass of H20 produced is incorrect (most likely a typo).

In any event, to find the formula, you would take the moles of C and H and convert to a whole number ratio (this is usually done by dividing both of them by the smaller value).

Given these reactions, where X represents a generic metal or metalloid 1) H2(g)+12O2(g)⟶H2O(g)ΔH1=−241.8 kJ 1) H2(g)+12O2(g)⟶H2O
Bond [772]

Answer:

ΔH = -793,6 kJ

Explanation:

It is possible to obtain ΔH of this reaction using Hess's law that says you can sum the half-reactions ΔH to obtain the ΔH of the global reaction:

If half-reactions are:

1) H₂(g) + ¹/₂O₂(g) ⟶ H₂O(g) ΔH₁ = −241.8 kJ

2) X(s) + 2Cl₂(g) ⟶ XCl₄(s) ΔH₂ = +356.9 kJ  

3) ¹/₂H₂(g) + ¹/₂Cl₂(g) ⟶ HCl(g) ΔH₃ = −92.3 kJ

4) X(s) + O₂(g) ⟶ XO₂(s) ΔH₄ = −639.1 kJ

5) H₂O(g) ⟶ H₂O(l) ΔH₅ = −44.0 kJ

The sum of (4) + 4×(3) - (2) - 2×(1) - 2×(5) is:

(4) X(s) + O₂(g) ⟶ XO₂(s) ΔH = −639.1 kJ

+4×(3) 2H₂(g) + 2Cl₂(g) ⟶ 4HCl(g) ΔH = −369,2 kJ

-(2) XCl₄(s) ⟶ X(s) + 2Cl₂(g) ΔH = -356,9 kJ

-2×(1) 2H₂O(g) ⟶ 2H₂(g) + O₂(g) ΔH = +483,6 kJ

-2×(5) 2H₂O(l) ⟶ 2H₂O(g) ΔH = +88.0 kJ

= <em>XCl₄(s) + 2H₂O(l) ⟶ XO₂(s) + 4HCl(g)</em>

Where ΔH is:

ΔH = -639,1 kJ -369,2 kJ -356,9 kJ +483,6 kJ +88,0 kJ

<em>ΔH = -793,6 kJ</em>

I hope it helps!

Consider the reaction 2NO(g) 1 O2(g) ¡ 2NO2(g) Suppose that at a particular moment during the reaction nitric oxide (NO) is reac
GalinKa [24]
<h2>a) The rate at which NO_2 is formed is 0.066 M/s</h2><h2>b) The rate at which molecular oxygen O_2 is reacting is 0.033 M/s</h2>

Explanation:

Rate law says that rate of a reaction is directly proportional to the concentration of the reactants each raised to a stoichiometric coefficient determined experimentally called as order.

2NO(g)+O_2(g)\rightarrow 2NO_2(g)

The rate in terms of reactants is given as negative as the concentration of reactants is decreasing with time whereas the rate in terms of products is given as positive as the concentration of products is increasing with time.

Rate in terms of disappearance of NO = -\frac{1d[NO]}{2dt} = 0.066 M/s

Rate in terms of disappearance of O_2 = -\frac{1d[O_2]}{dt}

Rate in terms of appearance of NO_2= \frac{1d[NO_2]}{2dt}

1. The rate of formation of NO_2

-\frac{d[NO_2]}{2dt}=\frac{1d[NO]}{2dt}

\frac{1d[NO_2]}{dt}=\frac{2}{2}\times 0.066M/s=0.066M/s

2. The rate of disappearance of O_2

-\frac{1d[O_2]}{dt}=\frac{d[NO]}{2dt}

-\frac{1d[O_2]}{dt}=\frac{1}{2}\times 0.066M/s=0.033M/s

Imagine that you are playing a game of Clue in which Mrs. White is killed in the conservatory. You have a device in each room to
myrzilka [38]

Answer:

  • <u><em>Mr. Plum</em></u><em> killed Mrs. White.</em>

Explanation:

<u>1) Wavelengths for the different light colors (visible light) and related character:</u>

Color  Wavelength          related character

Violet  380–450 nm  ← Professr Plum

Blue  450–485 nm  ← Mrs. Peacock

Cyan  485–500 nm  

Green  500–565 nm  ← Mr. Green

Yellow  565–590 nm  ← Colonel Mustard

Orange  590–625 nm  

Red  625–740 nm  ← Miss Scarlet

<u>2) At the time of the murder, the spectrometers recorded:</u>

a) In the <em>dining room</em>: <em>520 nm</em>.

520 nm is in the range 500 - 565 nm, which is the range for green color, so <em>Mr. Green</em> was in the dining room and is no more a suspect.

b)<em> In the lounge and study: lower frequencie</em>s.

Since frequency and wavelength are inversely related, the wavelengths in the longe and study have to be of <em>yellow and red</em> colors, which are the only two with longer wavelengths from the option given.

Then, <em>Mustard and Scarlet</em> are not criminal.

c)<em> In the library: the second shortest wavelength of the five recorded. </em>

<em />

The second shortest wavelength, as per the table, is that of <em>blue </em>color. So, <em>Mrs. Peacock</em> is not the killer.

The only left option is violet, so Mr. Plum is the only who could be at the conservatory and he is the killer.
