A 1.00 g sample of n-hexane (C6H14) undergoes complete combustion with excess O2 in a bomb calorimeter. The temperature of the 1

502 g of water surrounding the bomb rises from 22.64°C to 29.30°C. The heat capacity of the hardware component of the calorimeter (everything that is not water) is 4042 J/°C. What is ΔU for the combustion of n-C6H14? One mole of n-C6H14 is 86.1 g. The specific heat of water is 4.184 J/g·°C.

Answer:

-5,921x10⁶J/mol

Explanation:

Internal energy change (ΔU) for the reaction of combustion in the bomb calorimeter is:

ΔU = q calorimeter + q solution

Where:

q calorimeter is Ccal×ΔT (Ccal=4042J/°C) and (ΔT is 29,30°C-22,64°C=<em>6,66°C</em>)

q solution is c×m×ΔT (c= 4.184 J/g°C), (m=1502g H₂O), (ΔT is 29,30°C-22,64°C=<em>6,66°C</em>)

Replacing:

ΔU = 26920J + 41854J = <em>68774 J</em>

This energy is per g of n-hexane, now, per mole of n-hexane:

\frac{68774J}{1gHexane} *\frac{86,1g}{1mol}= -<em>5,921x10⁶J/mol</em>

<em>-negative because the energy is produced-</em>

I hope it helps!

Answer:

The correct answer is 5921.4 KJ/mol

Explanation:

The combustion of n-hexane in a bomb calorimeter is an adiabatic process, which means that the heat released by the reaction (q reaction) is absorbed by the calorimeter (q absorbed). The heat is absorbed in part by the hardware component of the calorimeter (Ccal= 4042 J/ºc) and in part by the surrounding water (Cw= 4.184 J/ºC). In a process at constant volume, the heat is equal to the variation of internal energy (ΔU). Thus, we have:

ΔU= - q reaction = q absorbed = qcal + qw

We calculate first the heat absorbed by the calorimeter (qcal):

qcal= Ccal x ΔT

qcal= 4042 J/ºC x (29.30ºC - 22.64ºC)

qcal= 26919.72 J

Secondly, we calculate the heat absorbed by the water (qw)

qw= m x Cw x ΔT

qw= 1502 g x 4.184 J/g.ºC x (29.30ºC - 22.64ºC)

qw= 41853.9 J

q absorbed = qcal + qw = 26919.72 + 41853.9 J = 68773.61 J

This amount of heat is released by 1 g of n-hexane. To calculate ΔU we use the molecular weight of n-hexane (86.1 g/mol):

ΔU = q absorbed = 68773.61 J/ 1 g x 86.1 g/ mol x 1 KJ/ 10³ J = 5921.4 KJ/mol

What affects the direction of the current moving through a wire? Check all that apply
NISA [10]

Answer : Option A) The direction the wire moves in


and Option C) the direction of the magnetic field.


Explanation : The direction of current flowing through the wire mainly depens on two factors which are i) direction of the wire moves in and ii) the direction of magnetic field.


The flow of current will occur in the direction of the wire through which it is moving in, whereas the direction of magnetic field will be in concentric circles around the direction of current passing through the wire.

What is the coefficient for hydrogen in the balanced equation for the reaction of solid molybdenum(iv) oxide with gaseous hydrog
anastassius [24]

The  coefficient  for hydrogen  in  the  balanced  equation   of solid  molybdenum(iV)  oxide  with gaseous  hydrogen  is  2


 Explanation

Coefficient   is defined  to  as  a number  in front   of a chemical formula in a  balanced chemical equation.

   The  reaction   of   molybdenum (iv) oxide  with  gaseous  hydrogen  is  as below,


MoO2  + 2 H2→  Mo  +2 H2O

From   balanced equation above  the coefficient   for  H2  is  2  since  the number in  front of  H2  is 2
