How many moles of isooctane must be burned to produce 100 kJ of heat under standard state condaitions?

Answer:

0.018 moles of isooctane must be burned to produce 100 kJ.

Explanation:

When the isooctane is <em>burned</em>, it undergoes a reaction known as combustion, in which reacts with oxygen to produce carbon dioxide and water. In standard conditions (Pressure = 1 atm and Temperature = 298 K) formed water is liquid. The balanced equation is:

C₈H₁₈(l) + 12.5 O₂(g) ⇄ 8 CO₂(g) +  9 H₂O(l)

The standard enthalpy of combustion (which can be found in tables) relates the amount of isooctane that reacts and the heat the reaction liberates. In this case, ΔH°c = -5,460 kJ/mol, that is every 1 mol of isooctane that burns, 5,460 kJ of heat are released.

We can begin with the information of 100 kJ and apply this conversion factor. Since this energy is released, by convention, we write it with a minus sign.

-100kJ.\frac{1mol (isooctane)}{-5,460kJ} =0.018 mol(isooctane)

Ainat [17]

Answer:

See explaination

Explanation:

1)

we know that

half cell with higher reduction potential is cathode

so

cathode :

N20 + 2H+ + 2e- ---> N2 + H20

anode :

Cr(s) ---> Cr+3 + 3e-

so

overall reaction is

3 N20 + 6H+ + 2 Cr ---> 3N2 + 3H20 + 2Cr+3

now

Eo cell = Eo cathode - Eo anode

so

EO cell = 1.77 + 0.74

Eo cell = 2.51 V

now

in this case

oxidizing agents are N20 and Cr+3

reducing agents are Cr and N2

higher the reduction potential , stronger the oxidizing agent

lower the reduction potential , stronger the reducing agent

so

oxidzing agents

N20 > Cr+3

reducing agents

Cr > N2

2)

cathode :

Au+ + e- --> Au

anode :

Cr ---> Cr+3 + 3e-

overall reaction

3Au+ + Cr ---> 3Au + Cr+3

Eo cell = 1.69 + 0.74

Eo cell = 2.43

now

oxidizing agents :

Au+ > Cr+3

reducing agents :

Cr > Au

3)

cathode :

N20 + 2H+ + 2e- ---> N2 + H20

andoe :

Au ---> Au+ + e-

overall

2 Au + N20 + 2H+ --> 2 Au+ + N2 + H20

Eo cell = 1.77 - 1.69

Eo cell = 0.08

oxidizing agents

N20 > Au+

reducing agents

Au > N2

Veronika [31]

Answer:

Explanation:

After the glorious appearance of Full Moon, the lunar shape starts to wane, meaning it gets smaller. It's visible later at night and into the early morning, and we see a steadily shrinking shape of the lunar surface that's being lit up.

Modern pennies are composed of zinc coated with copper. A student determines the mass of a penny to be 2.483 g and then makes se
Aleonysh [2.5K]

Answer:

97.1%

Explanation:

Using the ideal gas equation, the number of moles of hydrogen gas produced can be calculated from information provided about the volume of gas evolved at a given temperature and pressure.

The stoichiometry of the reaction is now used to obtain the number of moles of Zn that will produce a given number of moles of hydrogen from the balanced reaction equation as shown. This gives us the number of moles of zinc reacted hence the mass of zinc in the coin since it is assumed that all the zinc reacts.

This is now used to calculate the mass percentage of Zn as shown.

Potassium hydroxide molar mass
Mnenie [13.5K]

The answer I will give is an approximate number, but it will be close. The problem is that every periodic table is slightly different. Some round as I will, and some carry the mass of the elements out to 3 decimal places. You should go back and put the correct numbers in to the mass that I use.

Formula

KOH

Givens

  • K = 39
  • O = 16
  • H = 1

Solution

Molar Mass = 39 + 16 + 1

Molar Mass = 56 grams / mole
