Suppose that coal of density 1.5 g/cm^3 is pure carbon. (It is, in fact, much more complicated, but this is a reasonable first a
NISA [10]

Answer:

q = -6464.9 kJ

Explanation:

We are given that the heat of combustion is  ∆H° = −394 kJ per mol of carbon.Therefore what we need to do is calculate how many moles of C are in the lump of coal by finding its mass since the density is given.

vol = 5.6 cm x 5.1 cm x 4.6 cm = 131.38 cm³

m = d x v = 1.5 g/cm³ x 131.38 cm³ = 197.06 g

mol C = m/MW = 197.06 g/ 12.01g/mol = 16.41 mol

q =  −394 kJ /mol C x 16.41 mol C = -6464.9 kJ

What would be the result if Earth's unique atmosphere did not exist?
egoroff_w [7]
Then the earth would most likely not be able to support life. Our earth would be similar to mars. In that it might have supported life. It the thin atmosphere would over all be unable to sustain more complex species. The earth would also be much colder because the green house effect is what maintains our relatively warm atmosphere.

We discussed many properties and characteristics of acids in this lesson. Which of the following is NOT one that was mentioned?
lys-0071 [83]

Answer: A. Acids have a slippery feel.

Explanation:

Acid : It is a substance that has ability of donating proton or hydrogen ion, H^+.

The properties of an acid are :

Acids are sour in taste.

The texture of an acid solution is sticky.

It changes the color of the litmus paper to red.

It react with a metal to give compound and hydrogen gas.

Base : It is a substance that has ability of donating hydroxide ion, OH^-.

The properties of an base are :

Base are bitter in taste.

The texture of a base solution is slippery.

It changes the color of the litmus paper to blue.

It does not react with a metal.

Thus bases have slippery nature and not acids.

The total volume of hydrogen gas needed to fill the hindenburg was 2.00 × 108 l at 1.00 atm and 25.° c. How much energy was evol
Step2247 [10]

Answer : The energy evolved when it burned was, -2.337\times 10^9KJ

Solution :

First we have to calculate the moles of hydrogen gas by using ideal gas equation.

PV=nRT

where,

P = pressure of gas = 1 atm

V = volume of gas = 2\times 10^8L

T = temperature of gas = 25^oC=273+25=298K

R = gas constant = 0.0821 Latm/moleK

n = number of moles of gas

Now put all the given values in the above formula, we get the moles of hydrogen gas.

(1atm)\times (2\times 10^8L)=n\times (0.0821Latm/moleK)\times (298K)

n=8.174\times 10^6moles

Now we have to calculate the amount of energy evolved.

The combustion reaction of hydrogen will be,

H_2(g)+\frac{1}{2}O_2(g)\rightarrow H_2O(l)

The enthalpy of combustion of hydrogen is -286 KJ/mole. (standard value)

As 1 mole of hydrogen gas burned it evolved energy = -286 KJ

So, 8.174\times 10^6moles of hydrogen gas burned it evolved energy = (8.174\times 10^6)\times (-286)=-2.337\times 10^9KJ

Therefore, the energy evolved when it burned was, -2.337\times 10^9KJ
