Answer: C. ethanol

The enthalpy of combustion is the amount of heat produced when one mole of ethanol undergoes complete combustion at 25 ° C and 1 atmosphere pressure, yielding products also at 25 ° C and 1 atm.

<u>The enthalpy of combustion of the unknown compound is</u>

ΔH = - 320 kJ / 0.25 mol = - 1280 kJ / mol

<u>To choose a probable compound according to this combustion enthalpy, we must evaluate the deviation in relation to the values reported in the literature for the three probable compounds</u> (methane, ethylene and ethanol). The deviation (e%) will be calculated according to the following equation,

e% =  ( | ΔHx - ΔH | / ΔHx ) x 100%

where ΔHx is the enthalpy of combustion of the probable compound.

The following table shows the combustion enthalpies of the probable compounds and their deviation in relation to the enthalpy of ΔH = - 1280 kJ / mol

Compound Enthalpy of combustion (kJ/mol)   Deviation

Methane                        - 890.7                                 43.8%

Ehylene                         -1411.2                                   9.3%

Ethanol                        -1368.6                                    6.5%

According to the previous table, we can say that the most probable compound is ethanol, since it has the smallest deviation in relation to the experimental enthalpy value of combustion.

2. What are the characteristics of an acid (at least 3)?
arlik [135]

Answer:Acids taste sour, react with metals, react with carbonates, and turn blue litmus paper red. Bases taste bitter, feel slippery, do not react with carbonates and turn red litmus paper blue.

Explanation:

  • Sour taste (though you should never use this characteristic to identify an acid in the lab)
  • Reacts with a metal to form hydrogen gas.
  • Increases the H+ concentration in water.

When active metals such as magnesium are immersed in acid solution, hydrogen gas is evolved. Calculate the volume of H2(g) at 30
V125BC [204]

Answer:

The volume of  H₂ (g) obtained is 22.4L

Explanation:

First of all, think the reaction:

2HCl (aq) + Zn (s) → ZnCl₂ (aq)  + H₂ (g)

You have to add a 2, in the HCl to get ballanced.

Now we should know how many moles of each reactant, do we have.

Volume . Molarity = moles

Notice that volume is in mL, so I must convert to L.

275 mL = 0.275L

0.275L . 0.725mol/L = 0.2 moles of HCl

Molar mass of Zn: 65.41 g/m

50 g / 65.41 g/m = 0.764 moles

Ratio between reactants is 2:1, so I need the double of moles of HCl to react, and a half moles of Zn to react.

My limiting reactant is the HCl, for 0.764 moles of Zinc, I need 1.528 (0.764 .2) of HCl, and I only have 0.2 moles.

Ratio between HCl and H₂ is 1:1, so 0.2 HCl make 0.2 moles of gas

Now apply the Ideal Gas Law, to find out the volume

P. V = n . R . T

2 atm . V = 0.2 mol . 0.08206L atm/K mol . 273K

V =  (0.2 mol . 0.08206L atm/K mol . 273K ) / 2 atm

V = 2.24 L
