When backpacking in the wilderness, hikers often boil water to sterilize it for drinking. Suppose that you are planning a backpa

cking trip and will need to boil 35 L of water for your group. What volume of fuel should you bring? Assume that the fuel has an average formula of C7 H16 , 15% of the heat generated from combustion goes to heat the water (the rest is lost to the surroundings), the density of the fuel is 0.78 g>mL, the initial temperature of the water is 25.0 °C, and the standard enthalpy of formation of C7 H 16 is -224.4 kJ>mol.

Answer:

2.104 L fuel

Explanation:

Given that:

Volume of water = 35 L = 35 × 10³ mL

initial temperature of water = 25.0 ° C

The amount of heat needed to boil water at this temperature can be calculated by using the formula:

q_{boiling} = mc \Delta T

where

specific heat   of water c= 4.18 J/g° C

q_{boiling} = 35 \times 10^{3} \times \dfrac{1.00 \ g}{1 \ mL} \times 4.18  \ J/g^0 C \times (100 - 25)^0 C

q_{boiling} = 10.9725 \times 10^6 \ J

Also; Assume that the fuel has an average formula of C7 H16 and 15% of the heat generated from combustion goes to heat the water;

thus the heat of combustion can be determined via the expression

q_{combustion} =-  \dfrac{q_{boiling}}{0.15}

q_{combustion} =-  \dfrac{10.9725 \times 10^6 J}{0.15}

q_{combustion} = -7.315 \times 10^{7} \ J

q_{combustion} = -7.315 \times 10^{4} \ kJ

For heptane; the equation for its combustion reaction can be written as:

C_7H_{16} + 11O_{2(g)} -----> 7CO_{2(g)}+ 8H_2O_{(g)}

The standard enthalpies of the  products and the reactants are:

\Delta H _f   \ CO_{2(g)} = -393.5 kJ/mol

\Delta H _f   \ H_2O_{(g)} = -242 kJ/mol

\Delta H _f   \ C_7H_{16 }_{(g)} = -224.4 kJ/mol

\Delta H _f   \ O_{2{(g)}} = 0 kJ/mol

Therefore; the standard enthalpy for this combustion reaction is:

\Delta H ^0= \sum n_p\Delta H^0_{f(products)}- \sum n_r\Delta H^0_{f(reactants)}

\Delta H^0 =( 7  \ mol ( -393.5 \ kJ/mol)  + 8 \ mol (-242 \ kJ/mol) -1 \ mol( -224.4 \ kJ/mol) - 11  \ mol  (0 \ kJ/mol))

\Delta H^0 = (-2754.5 \ \  kJ -  1936 \ \  kJ+224.4 \  \ kJ+0 \ \  kJ)

\Delta H^0 = -4466.1 \ kJ

This simply implies that the amount of heat released from 1 mol of C7H16 = 4466.1 kJ

However the number of moles of fuel required to burn 7.315 \times 10^{4} \ kJ heat released is:

n_{fuel} = \dfrac{q}{\Delta \ H^0}

n_{fuel} = \dfrac{-7.315 \times 10^{4} \ kJ}{-4466.1  \ kJ}

n_{fuel} = 16.38  \ mol \ of \ C_7 H_{16

Since number of moles = mass/molar mass

The  mass of the fuel is:

m_{fuel } = 16.38 mol \times 100.198 \ g/mol}

m_{fuel } = 1.641 \times 10^{3} \ g

Given that the density of the fuel is = 0.78 g/mL

and we know that :

density = mass/volume

therefore making volume the subject of the formula in order to determine the volume of the fuel ; we have

volume of the fuel = mass of the fuel / density of the fuel

volume of the fuel = \dfrac{1.641 \times 10^3 \ g }{0.78  g/mL} \times \dfrac{L}{10^3 \ mL}

volume of the fuel  = 2.104 L fuel

when 1.00 l 1.00 l of a 0.500 m l i b r 0.500 m libr solution is tripled by dilution with water, what is the number of moles of
Murrr4er [49]

When 1.00 L of a 0.500 M LiBr solution is tripled by dilution with water . the number of moles of  lithium in new solution is 0.5 moles.

given that :

volume = 1.00 L

molarity = 0.500 M

The solution is tripled by dilution but there will be no effect in number of mole by the dilution.

the number of moles = molarity × volume in L

the number of moles = 1 × 0.500

the number of moles = 0.5 mol

Thus, When 1.00 L of a 0.500 M LiBr solution is tripled by dilution with water . the number of moles of  lithium in new solution is 0.5 moles.

If 54.9 L of an ideal gas is cooled from 64 degrees C to 7 degrees C, what will the volume of the gas become?
sweet [91]

Answer:

Volume = 45.62L

Explanation:

Data;

V1 = 54.9L

T1 = 64°C = (64 + 273.15)k = 337.15K

T2 = 7°C = (7 + 273.15)k = 280.15K

V2 = ?

From Charles law,

The volume of a fixed mass of gas is directly proportional to its temperature provided that pressure remains constant

V = KT, K = V / T = V1 / T1 = V2 / T2 = V3 / T3 =.........= Vn / Tn

(54.9 / 337.15) = (V2 / 280.15)

V2 = (54.9 * 280.15) / 337.15

V2 = 45.618L

V2 = 45.62L
