What chemical property must argon have to make it a suitable choice for light bulbs?

1 answer:

7 0

Argon is a suitable choice for light bulbs because it is inert. Compared to a reactive gas like oxygen, the metal filimant would burn up in a reactive environment, which is why a noble gas is used.

Explanation:

Methane is an alkane. The commonest chemical reaction that alkanes undergo is substitution. During a substitution reaction, one or more atoms of hydrogen is/are replaced in the alkane.

In methane, in the presence of sunlight and molecular chlorine gas, a homolytic fission of Cl2 occurs to yield chlorine radicals in an initiation step.

The propagation steps involve reaction of the methane with chlorine radicals. Certain intermediates continue to be formed along the way until the tetrachlorination product is finally obtained.

When 21.45 g of KNO3 was dissolved in water in a calorimeter, the temperature fell from 25.00°C to 14.14 °C. If the heat capacit

25.9 kJ/mol. (3 sig. fig. as in the heat capacity.)

<h3>Explanation</h3>

The process:

$\text{KNO}_3\;(s) \to \text{KNO}_3\;(aq)$ .

How many moles of this process?

Relative atomic mass from a modern periodic table:

K: 39.098;
N: 14.007;
O: 15.999.

Molar mass of $\text{KNO}_3$ :

$M(\text{KNO}_3) = 39.098 + 14.007 + 3\times 15.999 = 101.102\;\text{g}\cdot\text{mol}^{-1}$ .

Number of moles of the process = Number of moles of $\text{KNO}_3$ dissolved:

$\displaystyle n = \frac{m}{M} = \frac{21.45}{101.102} = 0.212162\;\text{mol}$ .

What's the enthalpy change of this process?

$Q = C\cdot \Delta T = 0.505 \times (25.00 - 14.14) = 5.4843\;\text{kJ}$ for $0.212162\;\text{mol}$ . By convention, the enthalpy change $\Delta H$ measures the energy change for each mole of a process.

$\displaystyle \Delta H = \frac{Q}{n} = \frac{5.4843\text{kJ}}{0.212162\;\text{mol}} = 25.8\;\text{kJ}\cdot\text{mol}^{-1}$ .

The heat capacity is the least accurate number in these calculation. It comes with three significant figures. As a result, round the final result to three significant figures. However, make sure you keep at least one additional figure to minimize the risk of rounding errors during the calculation.

One of the compounds used to increase the octane rating of gasoline is toluene (pictured). Suppose 43.3 mL of toluene (d = 0.867

Thepotemich [5.8K]

<u>Answer:</u>

(A)

Density = Mass / Volume

Mass = Density × Volume

$= 0.867 g/mL \times 43.3mL = 37.5411 g Toluene$

$1C_6 H_5 CH_3 + 9 O_2 > 7 CO_2 + 4 H_2 O$

Mole ratio of toluene : Oxygen is 1 : 9

$37.5411 g \text { Toluene } \times \frac{1 \text {mol} \text {toluene}}{92 g \text { toluene}} \times \frac{9 {mol} O_{2}}{1 \text {mol} \text { toluene }} \times \frac{32 g O_{2}}{1 {mol} O_{2}}=117 g O_{2}(\text {Answer})$

(B)

1 mole of Toluene produces 7 moles of $CO_2$ gas and 4 moles of $H_2 O$ Vapour

So the mole ratio is 1 : 11

$37.5411 g Toluene $\times \frac{1 \text { mol toluene }}{92 g \text { toluene }} \times \frac{11 \mathrm{mol} \text { gas }}{1 \text { mol toluene }} $$\\\\=4.49 \text { mol gaseous products (Answer) } $$

(C)

1mole contains $6.022\times10^{23}$ molecules

$37.5411 g Toluene $\times \frac{1 \text { mol toluene }}{92 g \text { toluene}} \times \frac{4 \mathrm{mol} \mathrm{H}_{2} \mathrm{O}}{1 \mathrm{mol} \text { toluene }} \times \frac{6.022 \times 10^{23} \text { molecules } \mathrm{H}_{2} \mathrm{O}}{1 \mathrm{mol} \mathrm{H}_{2} \mathrm{O}} $\\\\$=9.82 \times 10^{23} \text { molecules } \mathrm{H}_{2} \mathrm{O} \text { (Answer) } $$
