What is the significance of a standard system of measurement

1 answer:

6 0

Units of measurement are the terms that we use to describe the size of something. You probably know that units include things like seconds, kilograms, meters, and so forth.

Without standard units of measurement, scientists would have a huge problem understanding what other scientists were saying. After all, if I were to refer to a meter as "the length of my leg" and another scientists were to refer to it as "the length of a Saint Bernard dog", we'd have a lot of trouble when it came to do actual science. To avoid this problem, the SI system of units gives us a convenient and, more importantly, standard set of units that we can agree on.

Calculate the standard heat of reaction for the following methane-generating reaction of methanogenic bacteria: 4CH3NH2(g) + 2H2

PIT_PIT [208]

<u>Answer:</u> The standard heat for the given reaction is -138.82 kJ

<u>Explanation:</u>

Enthalpy change is defined as the difference in enthalpies of all the product and the reactants each multiplied with their respective number of moles.

The equation used to calculate enthalpy change is of a reaction is:

$\Delta H^o_{rxn}=\sum [n\times \Delta H_f_{(product)}]-\sum [n\times \Delta H_f_{(reactant)}]$

For the given chemical reaction:

$4CH_3NH_2(g)+2H_2O(l)\rightarrow 3CH_4(g)+CO_2(g)+4NH_3(g)$

The equation for the enthalpy change of the above reaction is:

$\Delta H_{rxn}=[(3\times \Delta H_f_{(CH_4(g))})+(1\times \Delta H_f_{(CO_2(g))})+(4\times \Delta H_f_{(NH_3(g))})]-[(4\times \Delta H_f_{(CH_3NH_2(g))})+(2\times \Delta H_f_{(H_2O(l))})]$

We are given:

$\Delta H_f_{(H_2O(l))}=-285.8kJ/mol\\\Delta H_f_{(NH_3(g))}=-46.1kJ/mol\\\Delta H_f_{(CH_4(g))}=-74.8kJ/mol\\\Delta H_f_{(CO_2(g))}=-393.5kJ/mol\\\Delta H_f_{(CH_3NH_2(g))}=-22.97kJ/mol$

Putting values in above equation, we get:

$\Delta H_{rxn}=[(3\times (-74.8))+(1\times (-393.5))+(4\times (-46.1))]-[(4\times (-22.97))+(2\times (-285.8))]\\\\\Delta H_{rxn}=-138.82kJ$

Hence, the standard heat for the given reaction is -138.82 kJ

Calculate the density of carbon dioxide at STP

Artist 52 [7]

Answer:

Density = mass/volume

= 44/22.4

= 1.96 gram/liter

The density of the Carbon Dioxide at S.T.P. (Standard Temperature and Volume) is 1.96 gram/liter.
