The energy from 0.015 moles of octane was used to heat 250 grams of water. The temperature of the water rose from 293.0 K to 371

.2 K. What is the enthalpy of combustion of octane? The specific heat capacity of water is 4.18 J/K g.

Answer:

5447.93 KJ

Explanation:

Given:

The number of moles of octane , n = 0.015

Mass of the water heated, m = 250 grams

Temperature change of the water, ΔT = 371.2 K - 293.0 K = 78.2 K

The specific heat capacity of the water, C = 4.18 J/k g

Now,

the heat acquired by the water, Q

Q = mCΔT

on substituting the values, we get

Q = 250 × 4.18 × 78.2

or

Q = 81.719 KJ

Now, the heat of combustion = Q / n = 81.719 / 0.015  = 5447.93 KJ

Troyanec [42]

Answer: 1.5mol NH3

Explanation: 1N2+3H2= NH3

                      0.5 mol N2x 3NH3/1molN2= 0.5x3= 1.5mol NH3

A researcher wants to test the solubility (property of being dissolved) of salt in water as the temperature of the water increas
Leya [2.2K]
The researcher may first weight the beaker with water and then start to heat the water to a constant temperature, for example 30 °C and then start adding salt and stirring. He should add salt slowly until solid salt starts to become visible and the solution starts becoming cloudy. When this happens, he should quickly weigh the beaker. The increase in mass is the mass of salt dissolved at that temperature.
The procedure is then repeated but at an increased temperature until 5-6 temperatures have been tested.

How do you decide whether an observed property of matter is a physical or a chemical property?
Otrada [13]
By the object's composition and the acting agent to which factors the change of the substance or entity.
<span>The effect of physical property of matter on the object or substance can be better identified when the object doesn't change in composition or in nature. Unlike chemical property which has changed in its composition and atomic structure that was caused by chemical change or reaction due to an agent. Physical property is identified thru physical reactions or changes that has never changed the object in an atomic level, like cutting paper into smaller sizes. The aforementioned example illustrates physical proerty but being cut into smaller buts without changing the object from paper to any other substance, thus, its structure remain and its still called paper regardless of size, mass and texture. <span>
