The given question is incomplete. The complete question is

The thermite reaction, in which powdered aluminum reacts with iron oxide, is highly exothermic: 2Al(s)+Fe_2O_3(s)\rightarrow Al_2O_3(s)+2Fe(s). Use standard enthalpies of formation to find ΔH∘rxn for the thermite reaction. Express the heat of the reaction in kilojoules to four significant figures.

Answer: ΔH∘rxn for the thermite reaction is -851.5 kJ

Explanation:

The balanced chemical reaction is :

2Al(s)+Fe_2O_3(s)\rightarrow Al_2O_3(s)+2Fe(s)

We have to calculate the enthalpy of reaction (\Delta H^o).

\Delta H^o=H_f_{product}-H_f_{reactant}

\Delta H^o=[n_{Fe}\times \Delta H_f^0_{(Fe)}+n_{Al_2O_3}\times \Delta H_f^0_{(Al_2O_3)}]-[n_{Al}\times \Delta H_f^0_(Al)+n_{Fe_2O_3}\times \Delta H_f^0_{(Fe_2O_3)}]

where,

We are given:

\Delta H^o_f_{(Fe_2O_3(s))}=-824.2kJ/mol\\\Delta H^o_f_{(Al_2O_3(s))}=-1675.7kJ/mol\\\Delta H^o_f_{(Fe(s))}=0kJ/mol\\\Delta H^o_f_{(Al(s)}=0kJ/mol

Putting values in above equation, we get:

\Delta H^o_{rxn}=[(2\times 0)+(1\times -1675.5)]-[(2\times 0)+(1\times -824.2)]=-851.5kJ

ΔH∘rxn for the thermite reaction is -851.5 kJ

What is/are the product(s) of a neutralization reaction of a carboxylic acid? View Available Hint(s) What is/are the product(s)
lutik1710 [3]

Answer:

A carboxylate salt and water

Explanation:

A carboxylic acid is an organic compound that has general formula RCOOH, where R is a carbon chain. Because it's an acid, the neutralization will happen when it reacts with a base, such as NaOH.

When this reaction occurs, the base will dissociate in Na⁺ and OH⁻, and the acid will ionize in RCOO⁻ and H⁺, so the products will be RCOO⁻Na⁺ (a carboxylate salt) and H₂O (water).

A sample of He gas (3.0 L) at 5.6 atm and 25°C was combined with 4.5 L of Ne gas at 3.6 atm and 25°C at constant temperature in
In-s [12.5K]

Answer:

3.6667

Explanation:

<u>For helium gas:</u>

Using Boyle's law  

{P_1}\times {V_1}={P_2}\times {V_2}

Given ,  

V₁ = 3.0 L

V₂ = 9.0 L

P₁ = 5.6 atm

P₂ = ?

Using above equation as:

{P_1}\times {V_1}={P_2}\times {V_2}

{5.6}\times {3.0}={P_2}\times {9.0} atm

{P_2}=\frac {{5.6}\times {3.0}}{9.0} atm

{P_1}=1.8667\ atm

<u>The pressure exerted by the helium gas in 9.0 L flask is 1.8667 atm</u>

<u>For Neon gas:</u>

Using Boyle's law  

{P_1}\times {V_1}={P_2}\times {V_2}

Given ,  

V₁ = 4.5 L

V₂ = 9.0 L

P₁ = 3.6 atm

P₂ = ?

Using above equation as:

{P_1}\times {V_1}={P_2}\times {V_2}

{3.6}\times {4.5}={P_2}\times {9.0} atm

{P_2}=\frac {{3.6}\times {4.5}}{9.0} atm

{P_1}=1.8\ atm

<u>The pressure exerted by the neon gas in 9.0 L flask is 1.8 atm</u>

<u>Thus total pressure = 1.8667 + 1.8 atm = 3.6667 atm.</u>
