Answer:

11. 227 kJ·mol⁻¹; 12. 587 kJ

Step-by-step explanation:

11. Calculate ΔH°f

The formula for calculating the enthalpy change of a reaction by using the enthalpies of formation of reactants and products is

ΔH°r = ΣmΔH°f(products) - ΣnΔH°f(reactants)

                        2C₂H₂ + 5O₂ ⟶ 4CO₂ + 2H₂O; ΔH°c = -1299 kJ·mol⁻¹

ΔH°f/kJ·mol⁻¹:      2x         0          -393     -286

2(-1299) = 4(-393) + 2(-286) - 2x

  -2598 = -1572 - 572 - 2x

  -2598 = -2144 -2x

    -454 = -2x

         x = 227 kJ·mol⁻¹

ΔH°f for acetylene is 227 kJ·mol⁻¹

12. Hess's Law

Warning: It is almost impossible to solve a problem like this by trial and error. You must have a strategy beforehand.

We have five equations:

(I)     Ca + 2C ⟶ CaC₂;                    ΔH =    -62.8   kJ

(II)   Ca + ½O₂ ⟶ CaO;                   ΔH =   -635.5  kJ

(III) CaO + H₂O ⟶ Ca(OH)₂;           ΔH =   -653.1   kJ

(IV) C₂H₂ + ⁵/₂O₂ ⟶ 2CO₂ + H₂O;  ΔH = -1300     kJ

(V)  C + O₂ ⟶ CO₂;                         ΔH =   -393.51 kJ

From these, we must devise the target equation:  

(VI) CaC₂ + 2H₂O → Ca(OH)₂ + C₂H₂;  ΔH = ?  

Here comes the strategy. Remember, you can use each of the given equations only once.  

Start with the target equation. It has CaC₂ on the left, so you need an equation containing CaC₂ on the left.  

Reverse Equation (I). When you reverse an equation, you <em>change the sign of its ΔH</em>.

(VII) CaC₂ ⟶ Ca + 2C; ΔH = 62.8   kJ

Equation (VII) has Ca on the right, and that is not in the target. You need an equation with Ca on the left to cancel it. Add Equation (II)

(VIII) Ca + O₂ ⟶ CaO; ΔH = -1271.0 kJ

Equation (VII) also has 2C on the right, and there is no C in the target. We need an equation with 2C on the left to cancel it.

Double Equation (V). When you double an equation, you double its ΔH.

(IX) 2C + 2O₂ ⟶ 2CO₂; ΔH = -587.02 kJ

Now, we must eliminate the CaO from Equation (VII). Add Equation (III).

(X) CaO + H₂O ⟶ Ca(OH)₂; ΔH = -653.1 kJ

Equation (VIII) has 2CO₂ on the right. You need an equation with 2CO₂ on the left.

Reverse Equation (IV).

(XI) 2CO₂ +H₂O ⟶ C₂H₂ + ⁵/₂O₂ ; ΔH = 2600  kJ

Now, we add all five equations,  cancelling substances that appear on both sides of the reaction arrow. All the formulas in italics have been cancelled

(VII)  CaC₂ ⟶ <em>Ca</em> + <em>2C</em>;                           ΔH =   62.8   kJ

(VIII) <em>Ca</em> + <em>½O₂</em> ⟶ <em>CaO</em>;                         ΔH = -635.5   kJ

(IX)   <em>2C </em>+ <em>2O₂</em> ⟶ <em>2CO₂</em>;                        ΔH = -787.02 kJ

(X)    <em>CaO</em> + H₂O ⟶ Ca(OH)₂;                ΔH = -653.1    kJ

<u>(XI)   </u><em><u>2CO₂</u></em><u> + </u><u>H₂O</u><u> ⟶ </u><u>C₂H₂</u><u> + ⁵</u><em><u>/₂O₂  </u></em><u>   </u> ; ΔH = <u>2600     kJ </u>

(VI)   CaC₂ + 2H₂O → Ca(OH)₂ + C₂H₂;  ΔH =    587     kJ

ΔH = 587 kJ

Water (2350 g ) is heated until it just begins to boil. If the water absorbs 5.83×105 J of heat in the process, what was the ini
Eva8 [605]

Answer:

40.7062 °C  

Explanation:

Let the initial temperature = x °C

Boiling temperature of water = 100 °C

Using,

Q = m C ×ΔT

Where,  

Q is the heat absorbed in the temperature change from x °C to 100 °C.

C gas is the specific heat of the water = 4.184 J/g  °C

m is the mass of water

ΔT = (100 - x) °C  

Given,

Mass = 2350 g

Q = 5.83 × 10⁵ J

Applying the values as:

Q = m C ×ΔT

5.83 × 10⁵ = 2350 × 4.184 × (100 - x)

<u>x, Initial temperature = 40.7062 °C  </u>

How can you determine the number of shells in an atom of a certain element, based
netineya [11]

Answer:  At some point in your chemistry education, you may have been introduced to the song “The Elements in which Tom Lehrer does a rapid

fire musical rendition of all the elements' names. Like me, you may even have been offered the opportunity to memorize this song for extra credit. If so, it’s possible that you still remember the names of all the elements, which is an impressive feat—not to mention a fun trick to pull out at parties.

The stability of atomic nuclei seem to be related to the ratio of _____.
Andru [333]
<span>Neutrons to protons. Neutrons and protons are tiny particles that are within the nucleus. Neutrons and protons make up the nucleus of the cell and the ratio of neutrons determine the stability of the atomic nuclei. The nucleus will become unstable if the ratio of neutrons to protons are not within the appropriate amount.</span>
