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

Consider the following system at equilibrium:
alexgriva [62]

Answer:

A - Increase (R), Decrease (P), Decrease(q), Triple both (Q) and (R)

B - Increase(P), Increase(q), Decrease (R)

C - Triple (P) and reduce (q) to one third

Explanation:

<em>According to Le Chatelier principle, when a system is in equilibrium and one of the constraints that affect the rate of reaction is applied, the equilibrium will shift so as to annul the effects of the constraint.</em>

P and Q are reactants, an increase in either or both without an equally measurable increase in R (a product) will shift the equilibrium to the right. Also, any decrease in R without a corresponding decrease in either or both of P and Q will shift the equilibrium to the right. Hence, Increase(P), Increase(q), and Decrease (R) will shift the equilibrium to the right.

In the same vein, any increase in R without a corresponding increase in P and Q will shift the equilibrium to the left. The same goes for any decrease in either or both of P and Q without a counter-decrease in R will shift the equilibrium to the left. Hence, Increase (R), Decrease (P), Decrease(q), and Triple both (Q) and (R) will shift the equilibrium to the left.

Any increase or decrease in P with a commensurable decrease or increase in Q (or vice versa) with R remaining constant will create no shift in the equilibrium. Hence, Triple (P) and reduce (q) to one third will create no shift in the equilibrium.

What is the density of a mineral with a mass of 41.2 g and a volume 8.2 cm3?
dezoksy [38]
Hey there!:

mass = 41.2 g

Volume = 8.2 cm³

Therefore:

D = m / V

D = 41.2 / 8.2

D = 5.02 g/cm³

a given sample of a gas has a volume of 3.0 L at a pressure of 4.0 atm. If the temperature remains constant and the pressure is
pentagon [3]

Answer:-

2.0 L

Explanation:-

Initial Volume = V 1 = 3.0 L

Initial Pressure P 1 = 4.0 atm

New pressure P 2 = 6.0 atm

Using boyle's law

P1 V1 = P2 V2

New Volume V2 = P1 V1 / P2

= 4.0 atm x 3.0 L / 6.0 atm

= 2 .0 L
