Answer:
If you add water to sulfuric acid, it can boil and spit and you may get a nasty acid burn.
Explanation:
Chemical nomenclature, replete as it is withcompounds with complex names, is arepository for some very peculiar and sometimes startling names. A browse through the Physical Constants of Organic Compounds in the CRC Handbook of Chemistry and Physics (a fundamental resource) will reveal not just the whimsical work of chemists, but the sometimes peculiar compound names that occur as the consequence of simple juxtaposition. Some names derive legitimately from their chemical makeup, from the geographic region where they may be found, the plant or animal species from which they are isolated or the name of the discoverer.
Answer: decrease the temperature of the reaction
Explanation:
CH3COOH + CH3CH2OH ⇌ CH3COOCH2CH3 + H2O
The formation of an ester is an exothermic reaction. Therefore, a decrease in the temperature of the reaction will favour the production of ester.
Answer:
-2.80 × 10³ kJ/mol
Explanation:
According to the law of conservation of energy, the sum of the heat absorbed by the bomb calorimeter (Qcal) and the heat released by the combustion of the glucose (Qcomb) is zero.
Qcal + Qcomb = 0
Qcomb = - Qcal [1]
We can calculate the heat absorbed by the bomb calorimeter using the following expression.
Qcal = C × ΔT = 4.30 kJ/°C × (29.51°C - 22.71°C) = 29.2 kJ
where,
C: heat capacity of the calorimeter
ΔT: change in the temperature
From [1],
Qcomb = - Qcal = -29.2 kJ
The internal energy change (ΔU), for the combustion of 1.877 g of glucose (MW 180.16 g/mol) is:
ΔU = -29.2 kJ/1.877 g × 180.16 g/mol = -2.80 × 10³ kJ/mol
