Find the standard enthalpy of formation of ethylene, C2H4(g), given the following data: C2H4(g) + 3 O2(g) --> 2CO2(g) + 2 H2O

(l) ΔH°f = -1411 kJ C(s) + O2(g)--> CO2(g) ΔH°f = -393.5 kJ H2(g) + 1/2 O2(g)--> H2O(l) ΔH°f = -285.8 kJ

Answer : The standard enthalpy of formation of ethylene is, 52.4 kJ

Explanation :

According to Hess’s law of constant heat summation, the heat absorbed or evolved in a given chemical equation is the same whether the process occurs in one step or several steps.

According to this law, the chemical equation can be treated as ordinary algebraic expression and can be added or subtracted to yield the required equation. That means the enthalpy change of the overall reaction is the sum of the enthalpy changes of the intermediate reactions.

The formation reaction of C_2H_4 will be,

2C(s)+2H_2(g)\rightarrow C_2H_4(g)    \Delta H_{formation}=?

The intermediate balanced chemical reaction will be,

(1) C_2H_4(g)+3O_2(g)\rightarrow 2CO_2(g)+2H_2O(l)     \Delta H_1=-1411kJ

(2) C(s)+O_2(g)\rightarrow CO_2(g)    \Delta H_2=-393.5kJ

(3) H_2(g)+\frac{1}{2}O_2(g)\rightarrow H_2O(l)    \Delta H_3=-285.8kJ

Now we will reverse the reaction 1, multiply reaction 2 and 3 by 2 then adding all the equation, we get :

(1) 2CO_2(g)+2H_2O(l)\rightarrow C_2H_4(g)+3O_2(g)     \Delta H_1=+1411kJ

(2) 2C(s)+2O_2(g)\rightarrow 2CO_2(g)    \Delta H_2=2\times (-393.5kJ)=-787kJ

(3) 2H_2(g)+2O_2(g)\rightarrow 2H_2O(l)    \Delta H_3=2\times (-285.8kJ)=-571.6kJ

The expression for enthalpy of formation of C_2H_4 will be,

\Delta H_{formation}=\Delta H_1+\Delta H_2+\Delta H_3

\Delta H=(+1411kJ)+(-787kJ)+(-571.6kJ)

\Delta H=52.4kJ

Therefore, the standard enthalpy of formation of ethylene is, 52.4 kJ

Calculate the new boiling point of a solution if 10.00 g of a non-ionizing compound (C3H5(OH)3) is dissolved in 90.00 g of H2O.
erma4kov [3.2K]

Answer:

Boiling T° of solution = 100.6

Explanation:

Formula for elevation of boiling point is:

ΔT = Kb . m . i

where ΔT means Boiling T° of solution - Boiling T° of pure solvent

Our solute is a non ionizing compound.

i = 1, because it is a non ionizing compound. i, indicates the ions dissolved in solution.

m = molality (moles of solute dissolved in 1 kg of solvent)

90 g of solvent = 0.09 kg of solvent

We convert mass of solute to moles (by the molar mass):

10 g . 1 mol /92.09 g = 0.108 moles

m = 0.108 mol /0.09 kg = 1.21 m

Let's replace data: Boiling T° of solution - 100°C = 0.51 °C/m . 1.21 m . 1

Boiling T° of solution = 0.51 °C/m . 1.21 m . 1 + 100°C

Boiling T° of solution = 100.6

What happens to the number of neutrons as you move across the table? <br><br> left to right
luda_lava [24]

Answer: The number of neutrons will increase as we move from left to right in a periodic table.

Explanation:

Atomic number is equal to the number of protons.

Mass number is the sum of number of neutrons and number of protons.

As we move from left to right, both the atomic number and mass number increases.

For example: As we move from Lithium to berrylium to boron to carbon to nitrogen to oxygen to fluorine to neon , the number of neutrons increase from 4 to 5 to 6 to 6 to 7 to 8 to 10 to 10.

Thus the number of neutrons will also increase as we move from left to right in a periodic table.

max2010maxim [7]

Answer: Another useful feature of the periodic table is that most tables provide all the information you need to balance chemical reactions at a glance. The table tells each element's atomic number and usually its atomic weight. The typical charge of an element is indicated by its group.
