When you want to melt an ice, you only need the latent energy of fusion, <span>δhfus. We use the given value, then multiply this with the given amount to determine the amount of energy. Since the energy is per mole basis, use the molar mass of ice which is 18 g/mol. The solution is as follows:

</span>ΔH = 5.96 kJ/mol * 1 mol/18 g * 500 g
<em>ΔH = 165.56 kJ</em><span>
</span>

Calculate the decrease in temperarure when 2.00 L at 20.0 degrees celsius is compressed to 1.00 L.

Serga [27]

I suspect that the pressure of this change is constant therefore

The equation is used from the combined gas law. (When pressure is constant both P's will cancel out P/P = 1)
V/T = V/T
Initial Change

Initially we have 2L at 20 degress what temperature will be at 1L.

2/20 = 1/T
0.1 = 1/T
0.1T = 1
T = 1/0.1
T = 10 degress celsius.

Hope this helps if you won't be able to understand what is the combined gas law just tell me :).

The characteristic odor of pineapple is due to ethyl butyrate, a compound containing carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen. Combustion of

gavmur [86]

<u>Answer:</u> The empirical formula for the given compound is $C_3H_6O$

<u>Explanation:</u>

The chemical equation for the combustion of hydrocarbon having carbon, hydrogen and oxygen follows:

$C_xH_yO_z+O_2\rightarrow CO_2+H_2O$

where, 'x', 'y' and 'z' are the subscripts of Carbon, hydrogen and oxygen respectively.

We are given:

Conversion factor: 1 g = 1000 mg

Mass of $CO_2=6.32mg=0.00632g$

Mass of $H_2O=2.58g=0.00258g$

Mass of compound = 2.78 mg = 0.00278 g

We know that:

Molar mass of carbon dioxide = 44 g/mol

Molar mass of water = 18 g/mol

<u>For calculating the mass of carbon:</u>

In 44g of carbon dioxide, 12 g of carbon is contained.

So, in 0.00632 g of carbon dioxide, $\frac{12}{44}\times 0.00632=0.00172g$ of carbon will be contained.

<u>For calculating the mass of hydrogen:</u>

In 18g of water, 2 g of hydrogen is contained.

So, in 0.00258 g of water, $\frac{2}{18}\times 0.00258=0.000286g$ of hydrogen will be contained.

Mass of oxygen in the compound = (0.00278) - (0.00172 + 0.000286) = 0.000774 g

To formulate the empirical formula, we need to follow some steps:

<u>Step 1:</u> Converting the given masses into moles.

Moles of Carbon = $\frac{\text{Given mass of Carbon}}{\text{Molar mass of Carbon}}=\frac{0.00172g}{12g/mole}=1.43\times 10^{-4}moles$

Moles of Hydrogen = $\frac{\text{Given mass of Hydrogen}}{\text{Molar mass of Hydrogen}}=\frac{0.000286g}{1g/mole}=2.86\times 10^{-4}moles$

Moles of Oxygen = $\frac{\text{Given mass of oxygen}}{\text{Molar mass of oxygen}}=\frac{0.000774g}{16g/mole}=4.83\times 10^{-5}moles$

<u>Step 2:</u> Calculating the mole ratio of the given elements.

For the mole ratio, we divide each value of the moles by the smallest number of moles calculated which is $4.83\times 10^{-5}mol$

For Carbon = $\frac{1.43\times 10^{-4}}{4.83\times 10^{-5}}=2.96\approx 3$

For Hydrogen = $\frac{2.86\times 10^{-4}}{4.83\times 10^{-5}}=5.92\approx 6$

For Oxygen = $\frac{4.83\times 10^{-5}}{4.83\times 10^{-5}}=1$

<u>Step 3:</u> Taking the mole ratio as their subscripts.

The ratio of C : H : O = 3 : 6 : 1

Hence, the empirical formula for the given compound is $C_3H_{6}O_1=C_3H_6O$

If a balloon is filled with a mixture of helium and oxygen, which gas will escape faster? Why?

Serjik [45]

Answer:

The rate of leakage will be higher for helium; its molecules move about 3 times faster than oxygen’s

Explanation:

Step 1: Data given

Molar mass helium = 4.0 g/mol

Molar mass O2 = 32 g/mol

Step 2: Graham's law

Graham's Law of Effusion states that the rate of effusion of a gas is inversely proportional to the square root of the molecular mass : 1/(Mr)^0.5

Rate of escape for He = 1/(4.0)^0.5 = 0.5

Rate of escape for O2 = 1/(32)^0.5 = 0.177

The rate of leakage will be higher for helium; its molecules move about 3 times faster than oxygen’s

On the basis of the information above, a buffer with a pH = 9 can best be made by using

telo118 [61]

Answer:

D H2PO4– + HPO42–

Explanation:

The acid dissociation constant for $\mathbf{H_3PO_4 , H_2PO^{-}_4 , HPO_4^{2-}}$ are $\mathbf{7\times 10^{-3}, \ \ 8\times 10^{-8} ,\ \ 5\times 10^{-13}}$ respectively.

$\mathbf{pka (H_3PO_4) = -log (7\times 10^{-3} )=2.2}$

$\mathbf{pka (H_2PO_4^-) = -log (8\times 10^{-8} )=7.1}$

$\mathbf{pka (HPO_4^{2-}) = -log (5\times 10^{-13} )=12.3}$

The reason while option D is the best answer is that, the value of pKa for both

$\mathbf{H_2PO^{-}_4 ,\ \& \ HPO_4^{2-}}$ lies on either side of the desired pH of the buffer. This implies that one is slightly over and the other is slightly under.

Using Henderson-Hasselbach equation:

$\mathbf{pH = pKa + log \Big( \dfrac{HPO_4^{2-}}{H_2PO_4^-} \Big)}$
