The question is incomplete, here is the complete question.

A sample of ethanol (C_2H_5OH), weighing 6.83 g underwent combustion in a bomb calorimeter by the following reaction:

C_2H_5OH(l)+3O_2(g)\rightarrow 2CO_2(g)+3H_2O(l)

If the heat capacity of the calorimeter and contents was 18.1 kJ/°C and the temperature of the calorimeter rose from 25.50°C to 36.73°C. What is the \Delta H of the reaction?

<u>Answer:</u> The enthalpy of the reaction is -1355.1 kJ

<u>Explanation:</u>

To calculate the heat absorbed by the calorimeter, we use the equation:

q=c\Delta T

where,

q = heat absorbed

c = heat capacity of calorimeter = 18.1 kJ/°C

\Delta T = change in temperature = T_2-T_1=(36.73-25.50)^oC=11.23^oC

Putting values in above equation, we get:

q=18.1kJ/^oC\times 11.23^oC=203.26kJ

Heat absorbed by the calorimeter will be equal to the heat released by the reaction.

<u>Sign convention of heat:</u>

When heat is absorbed, the sign of heat is taken to be positive and when heat is released, the sign of heat is taken to be negative.

To calculate the number of moles, we use the equation:

\text{Number of moles}=\frac{\text{Given mass}}{\text{Molar mass}}

Given mass of ethanol = 6.83 g

Molar mass of ethanol = 46 g/mol

Putting values in above equation, we get:

\text{Moles of ethanol}=\frac{6.83g}{46g/mol}=0.15mol

To calculate the enthalpy change of the reaction, we use the equation:

\Delta H_{rxn}=\frac{q}{n}

where,

q = amount of heat released = -203.26 kJ

n = number of moles = 0.15 moles

\Delta H_{rxn} = enthalpy change of the reaction

Putting values in above equation, we get:

\Delta H_{rxn}=\frac{-203.26kJ}{0.15mol}=-1355.1kJ/mol

Hence, the enthalpy of the reaction is -1355.1 kJ

pishuonlain [190]
How it looks. basically the thing that tells you how it change. for example if an ice cube was melted (heat), it only changed physically not chemically as the h20 molecules are still there. however lets say you burn woos— you cant get that would back. its ash now and it has changed chemically.

Consider the chemical reaction in equilibrium.
Zarrin [17]
This is an application of Le Chatlier's principle:  What happens when we add a reagent to one side of an equation? The reaction will shift to the other side.  So heat is a reactant and we're adding more of it, the reaction must therefore, shift to the right ( or the products side).

Why do you think it is a bad idea to use taste, touch, or smell to identify an<br> unknown chemical?
miv72 [106K]

Answer:

Because it can cause health problems or injuries to our sense organs.

Explanation:

Chemicals in the laboratory are made up of different constituents, which may be dangerous or injurious to health. This is the reason why safety measures or precautions have to be taken when working in the laboratory. One of those safety measures is that "one should never use taste, touch, or smell to identify an unknown chemical".

This is so because a chemical that is unknown amounts to the fact that what such chemical contains is unknown, hence, the chemical might have the ability to cause harm or injuries to the sense organ. For example, a conc. acid that is tasted will burn the tongue etc.

nirvana33 [79]

Answer:

option C = Reactant: 4NH₃ + 6NO   →   product:  5N₂  + 6H₂O

Explanation:

Chemical equation:

NH₃ + NO   →  N₂  + H₂O

Balanced chemical equation:

4NH₃ + 6NO   →  5N₂  + 6H₂O

Ammonia is react with nitrogen mono oxide and produced nitrogen and water.

Ammonia and nitrogen monoxide are reactants while water and nitrogen are product.

Four number of moles of ammonia react with six nitrogen monoxide and produced five mole of nitrogen and six mole of water.
