Mothballs are composed primarily of the hydrocarbon naphthalene (C10H8). When 1.025 g of naphthalene is burned in a bomb calorim

eter, the temperature rises from 24.25 ∘C to 32.33 ∘C. Find ΔErxn for the combustion of naphthalene. The heat capacity of the calorimeter, determined in a separate experiment, is 5.11kJ/∘C.

Answer:

\Delta E_{rxn} for combustion of naphthalene is -5164 kJ/mol

Explanation:

\Delta E_{rxn}=C_{calorimeter}\times \Delta T_{calorimeter}

where, C refers heat capacity and \Delta T refers change in temperature.

Here, \Delta T_{calorimeter}=(32.33-24.25)^{0}\textrm{C}=8.08^{0}\textrm{C}

So, \Delta E_{rxn}=(5.11\frac{kJ}{^{0}\textrm{C}})\times (8.08^{0}\textrm{C})=41.3kJ

\Delta E_{rxn} is generally expressed in terms of per mole unit of reactant. Also, \Delta E_{rxn} should be negative as it is an exothermic reaction (temperature increases).

Molar mass of naphthalene is 128.17 g/mol

So, 1.025 g of naphthalene = \frac{1.025}{128.17}moles of naphthalene

                                              = 0.007997 moles of naphthalene

\Delta E_{rxn}=-\frac{41.3kJ}{0.007997mol}=-5164kJ/mol

1. The following reaction does not proceed to form a product: H2O + Au---> no reaction. Why is that?
Xelga [282]
1. B
The positive charge in water is provided by hydrogen, and gold provides the same charge. However, gold is not more reactive than hydrogen so it can not replace it in the compound.

2. In order to balance the equation, you must sure there are equal moles of each element on the left and right side of the equation:
2C₂H₆ + 7O₂ → 4CO₂ + ₆H₂O

3. The number of moles of sodium atoms on the left of the equation must be equal to the number of moles of sodium atoms on the right, as per the law of conservation of mass. The answer is B.

4. C.
A synthesis reaction usually results from single displacement because some element or compound is produced in its pure form

5. B. 
The gas being produced is being synthesized.

What will happen if atom hit earth with speed of light?​
xz_007 [3.2K]

Answer:

Every object that travel at the speed of light gains infinite mass. Is a law in physics that as it gains speed, it is gaining mass. Then, not is necesary that a meteorite hit the Earth at the speed of light, because just an atom traveling a this velocities could destroy our planet.

Explanation:

The speed of light is really fast so that will mostly happen

<h3>Further explanation </h3>

The atomic nucleus can experience decay into 2 particles or more due to the instability of its atomic nucleus.  

Usually radioactive elements have an unstable atomic nucleus.  

General formulas used in decay:  

\large{\boxed{\bold{N_t=N_0(\dfrac{1}{2})^{t/t\frac{1}{2} }}}

T = duration of decay  

t 1/2 = half-life  

N₀ = the number of initial radioactive atoms  

Nt = the number of radioactive atoms left after decaying during T time  

Nt=25 g

No=100 g

t1/2=5770 years

\tt 25=100\dfrac{1}{2}^{T/5770}\\\\\dfrac{1}{4}=\dfrac{1}{2}^{T/5770}\\\\2=T/5770\rightarrowT=11540~years

Covalent bonding is the ____ of electrons​
taurus [48]

Answer: sharing

Reason: They do this to gain stability. The reason they don’t actually transfer is because the difference in electronegativity values are above a certain value.
