Consider the generic chemical equation below. X + Ymc021-1.jpg W + Z Reactant X contains 199.3 J of chemical energy. Reactant Y

contains 272.3 J of chemical energy. Product W contains 41.9 J of chemical energy. If the reaction loses 111.6 J of chemical energy as it proceeds, how much chemical energy must product Z contain?

The reaction is:

X + Y → W + Z

Chemical energy of reactant X = 199.3 J = Ux

Chemical energy of reactant Y = 272.3 J = Uy

Chemical energy of Product W = 41.9 J = Uw

Chemical energy of Product Z = ? = Uz

Where reaction loses energy = 111.6 J = ΔU

By using the equation:

(Ux + Uy) – (Uw + Uz) = ΔU

Ux + Uy – Uw – Uz = ΔU

Uz = Ux + Uy – Uw –ΔU

Uz = 199.3 + 272.3 – 41.9 – 111.6

Uz = 318.1 J

Product Z must contain 318.1 J chemical energy.

This is an incomplete question, here is a complete question.

A compound is 42.9% C, 2.4% H, 16.7% N and 38.1% O by mass. Addition of 6.45 g of this compound to 50.0 mL benzene, C₆H₆ (d= 0.879 g/mL; Kf= 5.12 degrees Celsius/m), lowers the freezing point from 5.53 to 1.37 degrees Celsius. What is the molecular formula of this compound?

Answer : The molecular of the compound is, $C_6H_4N_2O_4$

Explanation :

First we have to calculate the mass of benzene.

$\text{Mass of benzene}=\text{Density of benzene}\times \text{Volume of benzene}$

$\text{Mass of benzene}=0.879g/mL\times 50.0mL=43.95g$

Now we have to calculate the molar mass of unknown compound.

Given:

Mass of unknown compound (solute) = 6.45 g

Mass of benzene (solvent) = 43.95 g = 0.04395 kg

Formula used :

$\Delta T_f=K_f\times m\\\\\Delta T_f=K_f\times\frac{\text{Mass of unknown compound}}{\text{Molar mass of unknown compound}\times \text{Mass of benzene in Kg}}$

where,

$\Delta T_f$ = change in freezing point = $5.53-1.37=4.16^oC$

$\Delta T_s$ = freezing point of solution

$\Delta T^o$ = freezing point of benzene

Molal-freezing-point-depression constant $(K_f)$ for benzene = $5.12^oC/m$

m = molality

Now put all the given values in this formula, we get

$4.16^oC=(5.12^oC/m)\times \frac{6.45g}{\text{Molar mass of unknown compound}\times 0.04395kg}$

$\text{Molar mass of unknown compound}=180.6g/mol$

If percentage are given then we are taking total mass is 100 grams.

So, the mass of each element is equal to the percentage given.

Mass of C = 42.9 g

Mass of H = 2.4 g

Mass of N = 16.7 g

Mass of O = 38.1 g

Molar mass of C = 12 g/mole

Molar mass of H = 1 g/mole

Molar mass of N = 14 g/mole

Molar mass of O = 16 g/mole

Step 1 : convert given masses into moles.

Moles of C = $\frac{\text{ given mass of C}}{\text{ molar mass of C}}= \frac{42.9g}{12g/mole}=3.575moles$

Moles of H = $\frac{\text{ given mass of H}}{\text{ molar mass of H}}= \frac{2.4g}{1g/mole}=2.4moles$

Moles of N = $\frac{\text{ given mass of N}}{\text{ molar mass of N}}= \frac{16.7g}{14g/mole}=1.193moles$

Moles of O = $\frac{\text{ given mass of O}}{\text{ molar mass of O}}= \frac{38.1g}{16g/mole}=2.381moles$

Step 2 : For the mole ratio, divide each value of moles by the smallest number of moles calculated.

For C = $\frac{3.575}{1.193}=2.99\approx 3$

For H = $\frac{2.4}{1.193}=2.01\approx 2$

For N = $\frac{1.193}{1.193}=1$

For O = $\frac{2.381}{1.193}=1.99\approx 2$

The ratio of C : H : N : O = 3 : 2 : 1 : 2

The mole ratio of the element is represented by subscripts in empirical formula.

The Empirical formula = $C_3H_2N_1O_2$

The empirical formula weight = 3(12) + 2(1) + 1(14) + 2(16) = 84 gram/eq

Now we have to calculate the molecular formula of the compound.

Formula used :

$n=\frac{\text{Molecular formula}}{\text{Empirical formula weight}}$

$n=\frac{180.6}{84}=2$

Molecular formula = $(C_3H_2N_1O_2)_n=(C_3H_2N_1O_2)_2=C_6H_4N_2O_4$

Therefore, the molecular of the compound is, $C_6H_4N_2O_4$

True or false a contour line indicates that all points on that line have equal elevation

Helga [31]

True. Each contour line on a topographic map represent a certain elevation; the closer they are, the steeper the surface is. All points on a contour line are the same elevation.
