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

Calculate the number of grams in sodium in 7.6g of Na2C6H6O7 (sodium hydrogen citrate) express your answer using two significant
Katen [24]

Answer:

Explanation:

the molecular mass of Na2C6H6O7 =236 g\mole it has a sodium that has 23 g/mole so 7.6 g of Na2C6H6O7 has x of sodium mass

  236 g/mole ⇒  23g/mole

<h2>   7.6 g  ⇒    ˣ    </h2>

7.6 x 23 ÷ 236  = 74.07×10-2 grams of sodium

If 4.168 kJ of heat is added to a calorimeter containing 75.40 g of water, the temperature of the water and the calorimeter incr
Alinara [238K]

Answer:

The value of  the heat capacity of the Calorimeter  C_c = 54.4 \frac{J}{c}

Explanation:

Given data

Heat added Q = 4.168 KJ = 4168 J

Mass of water m_w = 75.40 gm

Temperature change = ΔT = 35.82 - 24.58 = 11.24 ° c

From the given condition

Q = m_w C_w ΔT + C_c ΔT

Put all the values in above equation we get

4168 = 75.70 × 4.18 × 11.24 +  C_c × 11.24

611.37 =  C_c × 11.24

C_c = 54.4 \frac{J}{c}

This is the value of  the heat capacity of the Calorimeter.

When ethyl-2-methylpropanoate is treated with sodium ethoxide in ethanol, there is no observable reaction. Explain this observat
den301095 [7]

Answer:

No net change in reaction occurs in this nucleophilic acyl subtitution reaction

Explanation:

Sodium ethoxide in ethanol gives nucleophilic acyl substitution reaction with ethyl-2-methylpropanoate.

Here ethoxide group replaces an ethoxide group from ester through addition-ellimination pathway.

So, ultimately, the product of this reaction is identical with reactant i.e. ethyl-2-methylpropanoate is reproduced.

Hence one might observe no change during reaction as product and reactant of this reaction are same.

Mechanistic pathway has been shown below.
