Answer:

155 kJ of energy will be released.

Explanation:

The \rm \Delta H\textdegree (\rm \Delta H \textdegree_\text{rxn} in some textbooks) here stands for standard enthalpy change per mole reaction. To find the amount of energy released in this reaction, start by finding the number of moles of this reaction that will take place.

How many <em>moles</em> of atoms in 4.72 grams of carbon?

Relative atomic mass data from a modern periodic table:

  • C: 12.01.

\displaystyle n = \frac{m}{M} = \rm \frac{4.72\;g}{12.01\; g\cdot mol^{-1}} = 0.393006\; mol.

The coefficient of carbon in the equation is one. In other words, each mole of the reaction will consume one mole of carbon. Oxygen is in excess. As a result, \rm 0.393006\; mol of carbon will support \rm 0.393006\; mol of the reaction.

How much energy will be released?

The \rm \Delta H\textdegree{} value here is negative. But don't panic. \rm \Delta H\textdegree{} is the same as the chemical potential energy of the reactants minus the products in one mole of the reaction. \rm \Delta H\textdegree{} = -393.5\;kJ means that the chemical potential energy drops by \rm 393.5\; kJ during each mole of the reaction (with the coefficients as-is.) Those energy difference will be released as heat. In other words, one mole of the reaction will release \rm 393.5\;kJ of energy.

The 4.72 grams of carbon will support \rm 0.393006\; mol of this reaction. How much heat will that \rm 0.393006\; mol of reaction release?

Q = n \cdot (-\Delta \text{H}\textdegree{}) = \rm 0.393006\times 393.5 = 155\;kJ.

As a side note, the mass of carbon 4.72 grams is the least significant data in this question. There are three significant figures in this value. As a result, keep more than three significant figures in calculations but round the final result to three significant figures.

How could you “supersaturate” solutions, exceeding the amount of dissolved solute possible
Bingel [31]

Answer:

Explanation:

In a saturated solution, more solute cannot be dissolved at a given temperature.

This is because, the solute dissolves in a solvent because of space between particles of solvent but on continuous addition of solute, the space between the solvent particles gets fulfilled. Thus no more solute particle can dissolve in a solvent.

What are the units of k in the following rate law?
Ludmilka [50]

Answer:

B. \frac{1}{M^{2} s }

Explanation:

The unit for rate is M/s while the unit for each molecule should be M. You can find the unit for k by putting the units for rate and the molecules into the equation

rate= k{X][Y]

M/s= k * M^{2} * M^{1}

k= (M/s) / (M^{3})

k= \frac{1}{M^{2} s }

You can also use this predetermined formula to solve this problem faster: k= \frac{M^{1-n} }{s }

Where n is the number of molecule. There are 3 molecule(2X and 1Y) so n=3, so

k= \frac{M^{1-n} }{s }

k= \frac{M^{1-3} }{s }= \frac{m^{-2}}{s}= \frac{1}{M^{2} s }

URGENT!!! What is the balanced form of this equation?
Ostrovityanka [42]

Explanation: This is a reaction of oxidation of H_2O_2 in the presence of acidified KMnO_4. Acidified KMnO_4 is a strong oxidizing agent.

To balance out the H^+ on the reactant side, we write H_2O on the product side.

Balancing out the following reaction gives us:

2MnO_4^-+6H^++5H_2O_2\rightarrow 2Mn^{2+}+8H_2O+5O_2
