Chemistry

Mariulka [41]3 years ago

Answer:

Explanation:

Specific heat capacity:

It is the amount of heat required to raise the temperature of one gram of substance by one degree.

Formula:

Q = m.c. ΔT

Q = amount of heat absorbed or released

m = mass of given substance

c = specific heat capacity of substance

ΔT = change in temperature

The substances with higher value of specific heat capacity require more heat to raise the temperature by one degree as compared the substances having low value of specific heat capacity.For example,

The specific heat capacity of oil is 1.57 j/g. K and for water is 4.18 j/g.K. So, water take a time to increase its temperature by one degree by absorbing more heat while oil will heat up faster by absorbing less amount of heat.

Consider that both oil and water have same mass of 5g and change in temperature is 15 K. Thus amount of heat thy absorbed to raise the temperature is,

For oil:

Q = m.c. ΔT

Q = 5 g× 1.67 j/g K × 15 K

Q = 125.25 j

For water:

Q = m.c. ΔT

Q = 5 g× 4.18 j/g K × 15 K

Q = 313.5 j

we can observe that water require more heat which is 313.5 j to increase its temperature.

C2H5OH(l) + 3O2(g) → 2CO2(g) + 3H2O(l), ΔH = –1.37 × 103 kJ For the combustion of ethyl alcohol as described in the above equati
babymother [125]

Answer:

The true statements are: I. The reaction is exothermic.

II. The enthalpy change would be different if gaseous water was produced.

Explanation:

The given chemical reaction: C₂H₅OH(l) + 3O₂(g) → 2CO₂(g) + 3H₂O(l),  ΔH= -1.37×10³kJ

1. In an exothermic reaction, heat or energy is released from the system to the surrounding. Thus for an exothermic process the change in enthalpy is less than 0 or negative (ΔH < 0) .

Since the enthalpy change for a combustion reaction is negative. <u>Therefore, the given reaction is exothermic.</u>

2. The change in enthalpy (ΔH) of a reaction is equal to difference of the sum of standard enthalpy of formation (ΔHf°) of the products and the reactants.

ΔHr° = ∑ n.ΔHf°(products) − ∑ n.ΔHf°(reactants)

As the value of ΔHf° of water in gaseous state and liquid state is not the same.

<u>Therefore, the enthalpy change of the reaction will be different, if gaseous water was present instead of liquid water.</u>

3. An oxidation-reduction reaction or a redox reaction involves simultaneous reduction and oxidation processes.

The given chemical reaction, represents the combustion reaction of ethanol.

Since combustion reactions are redox reactions. <u>Therefore, the given combustion reaction is an oxidation-reduction reaction.</u>

4. According to the ideal gas equation: P.V =n.R.T

Volume (V) ∝ n (number of moles of gas)

Since the number of moles (n) of gaseous reactants is 3 and number of moles of gaseous (n) products is 2.

<u>Therefore, the volume occupied by 3 moles of the reactant gaseous molecules will be more than 2 moles product gaseous molecules.</u>
