The fact that HBO2, a reactive compound, was produced rather than the relatively inert B2O3 was a factor in the discontinuation

of the investigation of the diborane as a fuel. What mass of liquid oxygen (LOX) would be needed to burn 296.1 g of B2H6?

Answer:

1027.62 g

Explanation:

For B_2H_6  :-

Mass of B_2H_6  = 296.1 g

Molar mass of B_2H_6  = 27.66 g/mol

The formula for the calculation of moles is shown below:

moles = \frac{Mass\ taken}{Molar\ mass}

Thus,

Moles= \frac{296.1\ g}{27.66\ g/mol}

Moles\ of\ B_2H_6= 10.705\ mol

From the balanced reaction:-

B_2H_6(g) + 3 O2_{(l)}\rightarrow 2 HBO_2_{(g)}+ 2 H_2O_{(l)}

1 mole of B_2H_6 react with 3 moles of oxygen

Thus,

10.705 mole of B_2H_6 react with 3*10.705 moles of oxygen

Moles of oxygen = 32.115 moles

Molar mass of oxygen gas = 31.998 g/mol

<u>Mass = Moles * Molar mass = 32.115 * 31.998 g = 1027.62 g</u>

Answer : The enthalpy of the given reaction will be, -1048.6 kJ

Explanation :

According to Hess’s law of constant heat summation, the heat absorbed or evolved in a given chemical equation is the same whether the process occurs in one step or several steps.

The main reaction is:

XCl_4(s)+2H_2O(l)\rightarrow XO_2(s)+4HCl(g)    \Delta H=?

The intermediate balanced chemical reactions are:

(1) H_2(g)+\frac{1}{2}O_2(g)\rightarrow H_2O(g)     \Delta H_1=-241.8kJ

(2) X(s)+2Cl_2(g)\rightarrow XCl_4(s)    \Delta H_2=+461.9kJ

(3) \frac{1}{2}H_2(g)+\frac{1}{2}Cl_2(g)\rightarrow HCl(g)    \Delta H_3=-92.3kJ

(4) X(s)+O_2(g)\rightarrow XO_2(s)    \Delta H_4=-789.1kJ

(5) H_2O(g)\rightarrow H_2O(l)    \Delta H_5=-44.0kJ

Now reversing reaction 2, multiplying reaction 3 by 4, reversing reaction 1 and multiplying by 2, reversing reaction 5 and multiplying by 2 and then adding all the equations, we get :

(1) 2H_2O(g)\rightarrow 2H_2(g)+O_2(g)     \Delta H_1=2\times 241.8kJ=483.6kJ

(2) XCl_4(s)\rightarrow X(s)+2Cl_2(g)    \Delta H_2=-461.9kJ

(3) 2H_2(g)+2Cl_2(g)\rightarrow 4HCl(g)    \Delta H_3=4\times -92.3kJ=-369.2kJ

(4) X(s)+O_2(g)\rightarrow XO_2(s)    \Delta H_4=-789.1kJ

(5) 2H_2O(l)\rightarrow 2H_2O(g)    \Delta H_5=2\times 44.0kJ=88.0kJ

The expression for enthalpy of main reaction will be:

\Delta H=\Delta H_1+\Delta H_2+\Delta H_3+\Delta H_4+\Delta H_5

\Delta H=(483.6)+(-461.9)+(-369.2)+(-789.1)+(88.0)

\Delta H=-1048.6kJ

Therefore, the enthalpy of the given reaction will be, -1048.6 kJ

16. Explain why antifreeze is used in vehicle radiators. Use your knowledge of the properties of
Fynjy0 [20]

Answer:

Antifreeze is whats used to keep your engine cool without freezing.

Explanation:

it keeps the engine from overheating.

It also prevents corrosion.

Here is a quote from google "Antifreeze works because the freezing and boiling points of liquids are “colligative” properties. This means they depend on the concentrations of “solutes,” or dissolved substances, in the solution. A pure solution freezes because the lower temperatures cause the molecules to slow down"

That quote is from "The Science Behind Antifreeze"

Describe the characteristics of the moon and the Earth for each phase of the
Yuri [45]
Before we describe the phases of the Moon, let's describe what they're not. Some people mistakenly believe the phases come from Earth's shadow cast on the Moon. Others think that the Moon changes shape due to clouds. These are common misconceptions, but they're not true. Instead, the Moon's phase depends only on its position relative to Earth and the Sun.

The Moon doesn't make its own light, it just reflects the Sun's light as all the planets do. The Sun always illuminates one half of the Moon. Since the Moon is tidally locked, we always see the same side from Earth, but there's no permanent "dark side of the Moon." The Sun lights up different sides of the Moon as it orbits around Earth – it's the fraction of the Moon from which we see reflected sunlight that determines the lunar phase.

Which of the two substances would have a higher melting point: O2 or quartz (SiO2)n? Explain your answer.
sesenic [268]

Answer:

quartz (SiO2)n

Explanation:

Melting point is defined as the temperature or point at which the substances change its state from solid to liquid.

Quartz (SiO2)n has high melting point than O2 because Quartz (SiO2)n is found in the form of hard, crystalline mineral that is made up of silicon and oxygen atoms having strong covalent bonds between all the atoms. So, a lot of energy is required to break the bond between the atoms and it has a high melting point.

Hence, the correct answer is quartz (SiO2)n.
