A 12.2-g sample of x reacts with a sample of y to form 78.9 g of xy. what is the mass of y that reacted?

1 answer:

4 0

We will assume that the only reactants are x and y and that the only product is xy.

Based on the law of mass conservation, mass is an isolated system that can neither be created nor destroyed.

Applying this concept to the chemical reaction, we will find that the total mass of the reactants must be equal to the total mass of the products,
therefore:
mass of x + mass of y = mass of xy
12.2 + mass of y = 78.9
mass of y = 78.9 - 12.2 = 66.7 grams

The textbook Would most likely have more gravitational potential energy because it is heavier. Things that are heavier have a larger gravitational pull and are pulled to the earth faster

Carbon, hydrogen and ethane each burn exothermically in an excess of air. AHⓇ =-393.7 kJ mol. C(s) + O2(g) → CO2(g) H2(g) + % O2

<u>Answer:</u> The $\Delta H^o_{rxn}$ for the reaction is 51.8 kJ.

<u>Explanation:</u>

Hess’s law of constant heat summation states that the amount of heat absorbed or evolved in a given chemical equation remains the same whether the process occurs in one step or several steps.

According to this law, the chemical equation is treated as ordinary algebraic expressions and can be added or subtracted to yield the required equation. This means that the enthalpy change of the overall reaction is equal to the sum of the enthalpy changes of the intermediate reactions.

The chemical equation for the reaction of carbon and water follows:

$2C(s)+2H_2(g)\rightarrow C_2H_4(g)$ $\Delta H^o_{rxn}=?$
