The aromatic hydrocarbon cymene (C10H14) is found in nearly 100 spices and fragrances, including coriander, anise, and thyme. Th

e complete combustion of 1.608 g of cymene in a bomb calorimeter (Calorimeter = 3.640 kJ/°C) produced an increase in temperature of 19.35°C. How much thermal energy is produced during the complete combustion of one mole of cymene?

Answer : The thermal energy produced during the complete combustion of one mole of cymene is -7193 kJ/mole

Explanation :

First we have to calculate the heat released by the combustion.

$q=c\times \Delta T$

where,

q = heat released = ?

$c$ = specific heat of calorimeter = $3.640kJ/^oC$

$\Delta T$ = change in temperature = $19.35^oC$

Now put all the given values in the above formula, we get:

$q=3.640kJ/^oC\times (19.35)^oC$

$q=70.43kJ$

Thus, the heat released by the combustion = 70.43 kJ

Now we have to calculate the molar enthalpy combustion.

$\Delta H=-\frac{q}{n}$

where,

$\Delta H$ = molar enthalpy combustion = ?

q = heat released = 70.43 kJ

n = number of moles cymene = $\frac{\text{Mass of cymene}}{\text{Molar mass of cymene}}=\frac{1.608g}{164.22g/mol}=0.009792mole$

$\Delta H=-\frac{70.43kJ}{0.009792mole}=-7193kJ/mole$

Therefore, the thermal energy produced during the complete combustion of one mole of cymene is -7193 kJ/mole

The concentration of Pb²⁺ in a sample of wastewater is to be determined by using gravimetric analysis. To a 100.0-mL sample of t

svetoff [14.1K]

Answer:

0.005404 M

Explanation:

$Pb^{2+}(aq) + Na_{2}CO_{3}(aq) ---> PbCO_{3}(s) + 2Na^{+}(aq)$

Since you added an excess of sodium carbonate you warrantied that all the $Pb^{+2}$ in the sample reacted with it. So we can say that the insoluble lead (II) carbonate $PbCO_{3}$ contains all the $Pb^{+2}$ ions in the original sample.

The moles of $PbCO_{3}$ are:

$moles-of-PbCO_{3}=\frac{mass-of-PbCO_{3}}{Molecular-weight-of- PbCO_{3}}=\frac{0.1443g}{267\frac{g}{mol}}=0.00054 mol$

One mol of $Pb^{+2}$ is required to form one mol of $PbCO_{3}$ . So, the stoichiometric relationship between them is 1:1.

$Pb^{+2} +CO_{3}^{-2} - - - > PbCO_{3}$

Knowing this, 0.00054 is also the number of moles of $Pb^{+2}$ in the original sample.

So, the concentration of $Pb^{+2}$ in the original sample is:

$M = \frac{mol-of-Pb^{+2}}{volume-wastewater-(liters)}=\frac{0.00054}{0.1L}=0.005404 M$

Answer:

Part 1

Where we have that the phase temperature at which fuel 1 changes to liquid due to its low temperature after the energy transfer is reached, fuel 1 changes to liquid

Where we have that the temperature of fuel 2 is still above its gas to liquid phase transition temperature, the fuel in fuel 2 will remain gaseous

Part 2

The kinetic energy of the individual molecules in fuel 1 is less than the intermolecular forces holding the molecules of fuel 1 in the liquid state such that fuel 1 molecules undergoes phase transformation from gas to liquid

The kinetic energy of the molecules in fuel 2 is higher than the fuel 2 liquid state intermolecular forces fuel 2 does not undergo phase transformation and remain a gas

Explanation:

Part 1

Why fuel 1 change phase but fuel 2 stayed the same can be explained by the combination of the following physical phenomena

1) Specific heat capacity of the fuels

2) Phase transition temperature of the fuels

The energy transferred out, ΔQ, can be expressed as follows;

ΔQ = m·c·ΔT

Where;

m = The mass of the fuel

c = The specific heat capacity of the fuel

ΔT = The temperature change of the fuel

Therefore, the energy transferred out, for a given mass of fuel, is directly proportional to the specific heat capacity, and the temperature change

For a given amount of transferred energy, when the specific heat capacity is high, the temperature change will be low and vice versa

Taking the specific heat capacity of fuel 1, c₁ as lower than the specific heat capacity of fuel 2, c₂₂, we have;

For a given energy transferred out, when c₁ < c₂ then we have, ΔT₁ > ΔT₂

The temperature change of fuel 1 is more than the temperature change of fuel 2 and if both fuels where initially at the same temperature and have the same mass, the final temperature of fuel $T_{1f}$ will be lower than the final temperature of fuel 2, $T_{2f}$

2) The phase transition temperature is the temperature at which a material changes phase from solid to liquid, or liquid to gas and vice versa, and it is dependent on the intermolecular holding the molecules of the substances together

Whereby the phase temperature at which fuel 1 changes to liquid due to its low temperature after the energy transfer is reached, while the temperature in fuel 2 is still above its gas to liquid phase transition temperature, the gaseous fuel in fuel 1 will be changed to liquid, while the fuel in fuel 2 will remain gaseous

Part 2

After the energy is transferred out, the kinetic energy of the individual molecules in fuel 1 becomes lower than the intermolecular forces holding the molecules of fuel 1 in the liquid state and the fuel 1 molecules transforms from gas to liquid

However, after the given amount of energy is transferred out, the kinetic energy of the molecules in fuel 2 are still higher than the intermolecular forces that exists between the molecules of fuel 2 when in the liquid state, and therefore, fuel 2 remains gaseous

Define or explain the following terms. a) Equilibrium constant expression - b) Equilibrium constant - c) Absorbance - d) Beer's

tankabanditka [31]

Explanation:

(a) Equilibrium constant expression is ratio of concentrations of products over reactants each raised to their power of stoichiometric coefficients.

For example consider an equilibrium which is:

$aA+bB\rightleftharpoons cC+dD$

The expression is:

$K_c=\frac {[C]^c[D]^d}{[A]^a[B]^b}$

(b) Equilibrium constant of the chemical reaction is value of the reaction quotient of the reaction at the stage of chemical equilibrium which is a state that is approached by the dynamic chemical system at which the composition of the reactant and the product has no measurable tendency towards the change.

(c) Absorbance is the measure of capacity of the substance to absorb the light of a specific wavelength. Absorbance is equal to the logarithm of reciprocal of transmittance.

(d) The Beer's law relates attenuation of the light to properties of material through which light is travelling.

The expression for the law is:

A = ε × l× c

Where,

A is the absorbance

ε is molar absorptivity coefficient

l is the path length

c is the concentration.
