Pentaborane−9 (B5H9) is a colorless, highly reactive liquid that will burst into flames when exposed to oxygen. The reaction is

2B5H9(l) + 12O2(g) → 5B2O3(s) + 9H2O(l) Calculate the kilojoules of heat released per gram of the compound reacted with oxygen. The standard enthalpy of formations of B5H9(l), B2O3(s), and H2O(l) are 73.2, −1271.94, and −285.83 kJ/mol, respectively.

Answer : The heat released per gram of the compound reacted with oxygen is 71.915 kJ/g

Explanation :

Enthalpy change : It is defined as the difference in enthalpies of all the product and the reactants each multiplied with their respective number of moles. It is represented as \Delta H^o

The equation used to calculate enthalpy change is of a reaction is:  

\Delta H^o_{rxn}=\sum [n\times \Delta H^o_f(product)]-\sum [n\times \Delta H^o_f(reactant)]

The equilibrium reaction follows:

2B_5H_9(l)+12O_2(g)\rightleftharpoons 5B_2O_3(s)+9H_2O(l)

The equation for the enthalpy change of the above reaction is:

\Delta H^o_{rxn}=[(n_{(B_2O_3)}\times \Delta H^o_f_{(B_2O_3)})+(n_{(H_2O)}\times \Delta H^o_f_{(H_2O)})]-[(n_{(B_5H_9)}\times \Delta H^o_f_{(B_5H_9)})+(n_{(O_2)}\times \Delta H^o_f_{(O_2)})]

We are given:

\Delta H^o_f_{(B_5H_9(l))}=73.2kJ/mol\\\Delta H^o_f_{(O_2(g))}=0kJ/mol\\\Delta H^o_f_{(B_2O_3(s))}=-1271.94kJ/mol\\\Delta H^o_f_{(H_2O(l))}=-285.83kJ/mol

Putting values in above equation, we get:

\Delta H^o_{rxn}=[(5\times -1271.94)+(9\times -285.83)]-[(2\times 73.2)+(12\times 0)]=-9078.57kJ/mol

Now we have to calculate the heat released per gram of the compound reacted with oxygen.

From the reaction we conclude that,

As, 2 moles of compound released heat = -9078.57 kJ

So, 1 moles of compound released heat = \frac{-9078.57}{2}=-4539.28kJ

For per gram of compound:

Molar mass of B_5H_9 = 63.12 g/mole

\Delta H^o_{rxn}=\frac{-4539.28}{63.12}=-71.915kJ/g

Therefore, the heat released per gram of the compound reacted with oxygen is 71.915 kJ/g

5. Juan's car gets an average of 24 miles per gallon of gas. How far can Juan go on
shtirl [24]

Claim:  Earth's atmospheric CO2 levels were measured over the past 1000 years and correlated with average world temperatures.  The data demostrate that Earth's temperature did not change during the period CO2 levels were steady.  But the past 100 years show a dramatic rise in CO2 levels, with a corresponding rise in world temperatures.  The CO2 rise can be traced back to the start of the industrial revolution, when machines began doing much of the work.  These machine burn fossil fuels and the increased CO2 levels have led to a dramatic rise in world temperatures.  The data clearly show the importance of reducing fossil fuel useage, as well as other CO2 emitters.  A world of incresing temperatures will lead to greater natural disasters, such as storms, flooding, hurricanes, and drought - all of which upset the ecological balance of the planet.

A neutral atom of Cl-37 has
Ostrovityanka [42]

Answer:

17 protons, 20 neutrons, and 17 electrons​.

Explanation:

A periodic table can be defined as the standard arrangement of chemical elements by atomic number, electronic configuration and chemical properties in a tabular form.

Generally, a proper representation of the mass number and atomic number of chemical elements is key and very important in chemistry.

Furthermore, as a rule, it should be noted that the mass number (nucleon number) is always larger than the atomic number(number of proton).

The mass number of this neutral atom of Cl-37 is 37 and we know that the atomic number (number of protons) of chlorine is 17. Also, the atomic number of an element is equal to the number of its electrons.

A neutral atom of Cl-37 has 17 protons, 20 neutrons, and 17 electrons.

Hence, a neutral atom of Cl-37 can be identified based on its number of protons because it represent its atomic number, which is what is used to differentiate an atom of an element from the atom of another chemical element.

Suppose the flask is already at equilibrium but then the volume of the reaction flask is then reduced what will happen
sveta [45]

1) Answer is: c) The reaction will proceed right.

Balanced chemical reaction: N₂(g) + 3H₂(g) ⇄ 2NH₃(g) ΔH = +92 kJ.

Reducing the volume of the system increase the partial pressures of the products and reactants.

With a pressure increase due to a decrease in volume, the side of the equilibrium with fewer moles is more favorable, there are 4 moles at the left side (three moles of hydrogen and one mole of nitrogen) and 2 moles (ammonia) at the right side of the reaction.

2) Answer is: d) The partial pressure of ammonia will increase.

This reaction is endothermic (enthalpy is higher than zero), which means that heat is added.

According to Le Chatelier's principle when the reaction is endothermic heat is included as a reactant and when the temperature increased, the heat of the system increase, so the system consume some of that heat by shifting the equilibrium to the right,  producing more ammonia.

Can a solution with undissolved solute be supersaturated
Helen [10]

Answer: A supersaturated solution will not contain undissolved solute because the undissolved solute will be indicative of saturated solution.

Explanation:

A supersaturated solution is the one that consists of more than the maximum concentration of the solute in the solvent that is being dissolved at a given temperature. A saturated solution is the one in which the maximum concentration of solute has been dissolved in the solvent and no additional solute can be dissolved further.

According to the given statement, a solution with undissolved solute is a saturated solution rather a supersaturated solution.
