There is 1 mole of electrons = 96500C and Ca = 40 
Ca2+  + 2e --->Ca
Base on the formula above it means that there are 2 moles of electrons to produce 1 mole of calcium.

96500C x 2 = 193000C

193000C electricity produce 40g Calcium

Coulombs = Amps x seconds   (28.70A for 12 hours)
= 28.70A x 12 x 60 x 60 C
= 1 239 840 C

This amount of electricity will produce 

=1239840 / 193000 x 40g Calcium
= 6.42 x 40 g Calcium
= 256.96 g

So there will be 256.96g of Calcium metal that will be produced in 12 hours.

Find the standard enthalpy of formation of ethylene, C2H4(g), given the following data: C2H4(g) + 3 O2(g) --> 2CO2(g) + 2 H2O
Brums [2.3K]

Answer : The standard enthalpy of formation of ethylene is, 52.4 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.

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

The formation reaction of C_2H_4 will be,

2C(s)+2H_2(g)\rightarrow C_2H_4(g)    \Delta H_{formation}=?

The intermediate balanced chemical reaction will be,

(1) C_2H_4(g)+3O_2(g)\rightarrow 2CO_2(g)+2H_2O(l)     \Delta H_1=-1411kJ

(2) C(s)+O_2(g)\rightarrow CO_2(g)    \Delta H_2=-393.5kJ

(3) H_2(g)+\frac{1}{2}O_2(g)\rightarrow H_2O(l)    \Delta H_3=-285.8kJ

Now we will reverse the reaction 1, multiply reaction 2 and 3 by 2 then adding all the equation, we get :

(1) 2CO_2(g)+2H_2O(l)\rightarrow C_2H_4(g)+3O_2(g)     \Delta H_1=+1411kJ

(2) 2C(s)+2O_2(g)\rightarrow 2CO_2(g)    \Delta H_2=2\times (-393.5kJ)=-787kJ

(3) 2H_2(g)+2O_2(g)\rightarrow 2H_2O(l)    \Delta H_3=2\times (-285.8kJ)=-571.6kJ

The expression for enthalpy of formation of C_2H_4 will be,

\Delta H_{formation}=\Delta H_1+\Delta H_2+\Delta H_3

\Delta H=(+1411kJ)+(-787kJ)+(-571.6kJ)

\Delta H=52.4kJ

Therefore, the standard enthalpy of formation of ethylene is, 52.4 kJ

A student observes the combustion (burning) of propane (C3H8). Because of the heat and light it generates, the student concludes
insens350 [35]

Answer:

The student's conclusion is not correct

Explanation:

Activation energy is the minimum amount of energy required for a reaction to occur. All reactions require there activation energy to be met before the reaction can proceed. When the temperature of a reaction is increased, the kinetic energy of the reactant molecules increases; colliding more with each other, which makes them "surmount" the activation energy of the reaction faster as compared to a lower temperature.

In combustion, there is burning of an hydrocarbon (in this case propane) in excess oxygen. The burning assists in increasing the kinetic energy of the reactant particles which in turn easily surmounts the activation energy of the reaction  by colliding (effective collision) more with oxygen. So, the reaction has an activation energy but the activation energy has been met and passed and hence the reaction is proceeding faster.

Increasing the temperature of a reaction is one of the ways of increasing the rate of a chemical reaction.

Calculate the molar solubility of copper(II) arsenate (Cu3(AsO4)2) in water. Use 7.6 x 10^-36 as the solubility product constant
Molodets [167]
Molar solubility<span> is the number of moles of a substance (the solute) that can be dissolved per liter of solution before the solution becomes saturated. We calculate as follows:

</span>3Cu2+ + 2(AsO4)3-<span> = Cu3(AsO4)2
</span>
7.6 x 10^-36 = (3x^3)(2x^2)
x = 6.62 x 10^-8 M

Which factor is generally responsible for high melting points?
kherson [118]
The factor that is generally responsible for higher melting point is intermolecular forces. The compounds that are covalent in nature are made of molecules rather than ions. It has been seen that some of the covalent compounds have polar molecules at one end, due to which the one end has more electronegative force than the other. The electrostatic force that is bounding the compound is the main cause of higher melting point of this compound.  So it is true that with the increase of polarity of a compound creates higher melting point. .. hope I helped
