Answer:

3C3H8O2 and 16H2SO4

Explanation:

C3H8O2(aq) + K2Cr2O7(aq) → C3H4O4(aq) + Cr2(SO4)3(aq)

In acidic reaction you need to separate the half-reactions knows.

C3H8O2(aq)  → C3H4O4(aq)

Cr2O7(2-) → Cr(+3) (aq)

Balance elements other than O and H. Add H2O to balance oxygen, balance hydrogen by adding protons (H+) and Balance the charge of each equation with electrons

C3H8O2(aq) + 2H2O(l)  → C3H4O4(aq) + 8H(+) + 8e(-)

Cr2O7(2-) + 14H(+) + 6e(-) → 2Cr(+3) + 7H2O (aq)

Scale the reactions so that the electrons are equal. If not look for a common multiple. In this case is 24, 8*3=6*4. So for each equation multiply for the correct multiple. Then

3C3H8O2(aq) + 6H2O(l)  → 3C3H4O4(aq) + 24H(+) + 24e(-)

4Cr2O7(2-) + 56H(+) + 24e(-) → 8Cr(+3) + 28H2O (aq)

Add the reactions and cancel out common terms and group the ions in compounds if u can.

3C3H8O2(aq)  + 32H(+) + 4Cr2O7(2-)  → 3C3H4O4(aq) + 4Cr2(SO4)3(aq) + 22H2O (aq)

We are in acidic medium  so the H(+) must be from H2SO4. So 32H(+) is  16H2SO4 in reactives. Add SO4(2-) in products and balance

16H2SO4 +3C3H8O2(aq) + 4Cr2O7(2-)  → 3C3H4O4(aq) 4Cr2(SO4)3(aq) + 22H2O (aq) + 4SO4(2-)

Then

16H2SO4 +3C3H8O2(aq) + 4Cr2O7(2-)  → 3C3H4O4(aq) 4Cr2(SO4)3(aq) + 22H2O (aq) +  + 2K2SO4 (aq)

Answer:

The correct option is;

d 4400

Explanation:

The given parameters are;

The mass of the ice = 55 g

The Heat of Fusion = 80 cal/g

The Heat of Vaporization = 540 cal/g

The specific heat capacity of water = 1 cal/g

The heat required to melt a given mass of ice = The Heat of Fusion × The mass of the ice

The heat required to melt the 55 g mass of ice = 540 cal/g × 55 g = 29700 cal

The heat required to raise the temperature of a given mass ice (water) = The mass of the ice (water) × The specific heat capacity of the ice (water) × The temperature change

The heat required to raise the temperature of the ice from 0°C to 100°C = 55 × 1 × (100 - 0) = 5,500 cal

The heat required to vaporize a given mass of ice = The Heat of Vaporization × The mass of the ice

The heat required to vaporize the 55 g mass of ice at 100°C = 80 cal/g × 55 g = 4,400 cal

The total heat required to boil 55 g of ice = 29700 cal + 5,500 cal + 4,400 cal = 39,600 cal

However, we note that the heat required to vaporize the 55 g mass of ice at 100°C = 80 cal/g × 55 g = 4,400 cal.

The heat required to vaporize the 55 g mass of ice at 100°C = 4,400 cal
