Answer:

54.6%

Explanation:

Percentage composition of carbon in compound

= ( mass of carbon in compound / total mass of compound ) x100

= ( 98.28 / 98.28 + 16.21 + 65.52 ) x 100

= (98.28 / 180.01 ) x 100

= 54.6% (3sf)

When 100 mL of 0.200 M NaCl(aq) and 100 mL of 0.200 M AgNO3(aq), both at 21.9 °C, are mixed in a coffee cup calorimeter, the tem
masya89 [10]

Answer:

There is 1.3 kJ heat produced(released)

Explanation:

<u>Step 1:</u> Data given

Volume of a 0.200 M Nacl solution = 100 mL = 0.1 L

Volume of a 0.200 M AgNO3 solution = 100 mL = 0.1 L

Initial temperature = 21.9 °C

Final temperature = 23.5 °C

Solid AgCl will be formed

<u>Step 2</u>: The balanced equation:

AgNO3(aq) + NaCl(aq) → AgCl(s) + NaNO3(aq)

AgCl(s) + NaNO3(aq) → Na+(aq) + NO3-(aq) + AgCl(s)

<u>Step 3:</u> Define the formula

Pressure is constant.  → the heat evolved from the reaction is equivalent to the enthalpy of reaction.  

Q=m*c*ΔT

⇒ Q = the heat transfer (in joule)

⇒ m =the mass (in grams)

⇒ c= the heat capacity (J/g°C)

⇒ ΔT = Change in temperature = T2- T1

Step 4: Calculate heat

Let's vonsider the density the same as the density of water (1g/mL)

Mass = volume * density

Mass = 200 mL * 1g/mL

Mass = 200 grams

Q= m*c*ΔT

⇒ m = 200 grams

⇒ c = the heat capacity (let's consider the heat capacity of water) = 4.184 J/g°C

⇒ ΔT = 23.5 -21.9 = 1.6°C

Q = 200 * 4.184 * 1.6 = 1338 .9 J = 1.3 kJ

There is 1.3 kJ heat produced(released)

Therefore, we assumed no heat is absorbed by the calorimeter, no heat is exchanged between the  calorimeter and its surroundings, and the specific heat and mass of the solution are the same as those for  water (1g/mL and 4.184 J/g°C)

The bonds in the reactants of Figure 7-3 contained 372 kJ of chemical energy and the bonds in the products contained 350 kJ of c
satela [25.4K]

Answer: 22 kJ amount of energy is released in the following reaction.

Explanation: There are two types of reaction on the basis of amount of heat absorbed or released.

1. Endothermic reactions: These are the type of reactions in which reactants absorb heat to form the products. The energy of the reactants is less than the energy of the products.

2. Exothermic reactions: These are the type of reactions in which heat is released from the chemical reactions. The energy of the products is less than the reactants.

Sign convention for \Delta H: This value is negative for exothermic reactions and positive for endothermic reactions.

For the given chemical reaction,

Energy of the products is less than the energy of the reactants, Hence, this reaction will be a type of exothermic reaction and energy will be released during this chemical change.

Amount of energy released = (350 - 372) kJ = -22kJ

Negative sign symbolizes the energy is being released. So, 22 kJ amount of energy is released in the following reaction.
