Some atoms<span> are more stable when they </span>gain or lose<span> an </span>electron<span> (or possibly two) and </span>form ions<span>. This results in a full outermost </span>electron<span> shell and makes them energetically more stable. Now, because the number of </span>electrons<span> does not equal the number of protons, each </span>ion<span> has a net charge.</span>

g The combustion of 1.877 1.877 g of glucose, C 6 H 12 O 6 ( s ) C6H12O6(s), in a bomb calorimeter with a heat capacity of 4.30
Mekhanik [1.2K]

Answer:

-2.80 × 10³ kJ/mol

Explanation:

According to the law of conservation of energy, the sum of the heat absorbed by the bomb calorimeter (Qcal) and the heat released by the combustion of the glucose (Qcomb) is zero.

Qcal + Qcomb = 0

Qcomb = - Qcal [1]

We can calculate the heat absorbed by the bomb calorimeter using the following expression.

Qcal = C × ΔT = 4.30 kJ/°C × (29.51°C - 22.71°C) = 29.2 kJ

where,

C: heat capacity of the calorimeter

ΔT: change in the temperature

From [1],

Qcomb = - Qcal = -29.2 kJ

The internal energy change (ΔU), for the combustion of 1.877 g of glucose (MW 180.16 g/mol) is:

ΔU = -29.2 kJ/1.877 g × 180.16 g/mol = -2.80 × 10³ kJ/mol

How does William Jennings Bryan respond to the criticism that the free and unlimited coinage of silver will disrupt ""business i
kifflom [539]

Answer:

He responded by saying their business definition was far too narrow.

Explanation:

Williams Bryan relates the battle for free silver with the revolution in the United States.

His iconic "Cross of Gold" address ignited the Democratic National Convention in 1896 where he begged the american people not to be "crucified on the cross of gold." He was said this because of the Republicans plan to introduce a firm gold standard and abolish silver coinage.
