Stearic acid (C18H36O2) is a fatty acid, a molecule with a long hydrocarbon chain and an organic acid group (COOH) at the end. I

Paha777 [63]

Answer:

There is 9671 Kj of heat released

Explanation:

Step 1: The balanced equation:

C18H36O2(s) + 26O2(g) --> 18CO2(g)+18H2O(g)

This means for 1 mole of C18H36O2 consumed there is 26 moles of O2 needed to produce 18 moles of CO2 and 18 moles of H2O.

Step 2: Calculate the heat of combustion

ΔH (combustion) = [18*(ΔHf of CO2) + 18*(ΔHf of H2O)] - [1*(ΔHf of C18H36O2) + 26*(ΔHf of O2)]

ΔH (combustion) = [18*(-394 kJ/mol) + 18*(-242 kJ/mol)] - [1*(-948 kJ/mol) + 26*(0 kJ/mol)]

ΔH (combustion) = [(-7092 kJ/mol) + (-4356 kJ/mol)] - (-948 kJ/mol)

= -10500 kJ/mol

ΔH (combustion) = heat released / number of moles of stearic acid

Step 3: Calculate moles of stearic acid

moles of stearic acid = mass / Molar mass of stearic acid

moles of stearic acid = 262g / 284.48 g/mole = 0.921 moles

Step 4: Calculate moles of oxygen

moles of O2 = 914.5 / 32g/mole

moles of O2 = 28.578125 moles

Stearic acid is the limiting reactant: it will completely react

There will react 26*0.921 mole = 23.946 mole of O2

This means there will remain 4.63 moles of O2

Step 5: Calculate heat released

q = (ΔH combustion) * (moles of stearic acid) = (-10500 kJ/mol) * (0.921 moles) = 9671 Kj

There is 9671 Kj of heat released

when 10.00 g of phosphorus reacts with oxygen, it produces 17.77 g of a phosphorus oxide. This phosphorus oxide was found to hav

Alex_Xolod [135]

Answer:

Molecular formula = P₄O₆

Explanation:

P(s) + O₂(g)------------------------------------⇒ PₓOₙ (g)

10g (17.77-10)g 17.77g

10g 7.77g 17.77g (gramme ratio)

The molecular mass of Phosphorus (P) = 31g/mole

The molecular mass of Oxygen atom (O) = 16g/mole

Mole ratio is given by:

P : O

10/31 7.77/16

0.3226 : 0.4856 Mole ratio---------------------------- (1)

Divide (1) through by 0.3226

1 : 1.5-------------------------------------------- (2)

From (2), the empirical formula for Phosphorus oxide :

Empirical formula = P₁O₁.₅

= PO₁.₅

The molecular formula can be calculated from below:

Since the molecular formula is a multiple of the empirical formula we have

Molecular formula = (PO₁.₅)ₙ----------------------------------- (3)

Since we are given the molecular mass of the oxide formed, we have:

(PO₁.₅)ₙ = 220-----------------------------(4)

[31 + (16 x 1.5)] x n = 220

[31 + 24]n = 220

55n =220

n = 4

Substituting into (3), we have :

Molecular formula = (PO₁.₅)₄

= P₄O₆

The fish died after living in the aquarium for many years

miv72 [106K]

In an aquarium the water quantity is limited and fish excrete ammonia through their gills and body, this dissolves in water and creates toxins.

Explanation:

In an aquarium the water quantity is limited and fish excrete ammonia through their gills and body, this dissolves in water and creates toxins. Over some time some bacteria develop in water which converts this ammonia into nitrites and then into nitrates. Till this process is complete, the aquarium remains a death trap.

There are some reasons for a fish to die early,

This one is common for beginners. They don’t have any idea about the nitrogen cycle. And they simply buy a fish tank and fish on the same day, go home and set it up.

Ammonia spikes - Even in a cycled tank, you can have occasional ammonia spikes due to overfeeding. Incompatible tank mates - If you put a too docile fish with a very aggressive cichlid, it will get harassed and eventually die due to stress.

Reptile [31]

The question is incomplete, the complete question is;

Chris the Chemist was working in the lab, and he wanted to see what would happen if he put copper chloride into a Bunsen burner flame. As soon as he put it in the flame, it began to emit a green color. Which of these BEST describes this outcome?

A) The heat split the nucleus and created a new element.

B) As the copper chloride was heated, electrons were turned into neutrons.

C) As the electrons moved to a higher energy level, a photon of light is emitted.

D) When excited electrons return back to the ground state, a photon of light is emitted.

Answer:

D) When excited electrons return back to the ground state, a photon of light is emitted.

Explanation:

According to Bohr's model of the atom, electrons may absorb energy and move up to higher energy levels.

These electrons quickly return to ground state from such higher energy excited states thereby emitting the excess energy absorbed during excitation.

If the higher energy level is E2 and the ground state is E1 then the energy of the photon emitted when the electron descends from energy level E2 to E1 is;

ΔE = E2 - E1

This photon emitted accounts for the green colour of the copper salt observed when it was heated.
