Answer:

\large \boxed{\text{933 J}}

Explanation:

There are three heat transfers involved.

heat from combustion of propane + heat gained by water + heat gained by calorimeter = 0

  q₁     +     q₂      +       q₃      = 0

m₁ΔH + m₂C₂ΔT + C_calΔT = 0

Data:

 m₁ =      2.1   g

 m₂ = 280     g

   Ti = 25.00 °C

   T_f = 26.55 °C

Ccal = 92.3 J·°C⁻¹

Calculations:

Let's calculate the heats separately.

1. q₁

q₁ = 2.1 g × ΔH = 2.1ΔH g

2. q₂

ΔT = T_f - Ti = 26.55 °C - 25.00 °C = 1.55 °C

q₂ = 280 g × 4.184 J·°C⁻¹ × 1.55 °C = 1816 J

3. q₃

q₃ = 92.3 J·°C⁻¹ × 1.55 °C = 143.1 J

4. ΔH

\begin{array}{rcl}\text{2.1$\Delta$H g +1816 J +143.1 J} & = & 0\\\text{2.1$\Delta$H g +1959 J} & = & 0\\\text{2.1$\Delta$H g}& = & \text{-1959 J}\\\Delta H & = & \dfrac{\text{-1959 J}}{\text{2.1 g}}\\\\& = & \textbf{-933 J/g}\\\end{array}\\\text{The combustion releases $\large \boxed{\textbf{933 J}}$ per gram of fuel burned.}

How much energy, in joules, does 150.0 g of water with an initial temperature of 25 C need to absorb be raised to a final temper
satela [25.4K]

Answer:

31395 J

Explanation:

Given data:

mass of water = 150 g

Initial temperature = 25 °C

Final temperature = 75 °C

Energy absorbed = ?

Solution:

Formula:

q = m . c . ΔT

we know that specific heat of water is 4.186 J/g.°C

ΔT = final temperature - initial temperature

ΔT = 75 °C - 25 °C

ΔT = 50 °C

now we will put the values in formula

q = m . c . ΔT

q = 150 g × 4.186 J/g.°C × 50 °C

q = 31395 J

so, 150 g of water need to absorb 31395 J of energy to raise the temperature from 25°C to 75 °C .

What volume of 0.08892 M HNO3 is required to react completetly with 0.2352 g of potassium hydrogen phosphate?
galina1969 [7]

Answer:

0.0303 Liters

Explanation:

Given:

Mass of the potassium hydrogen phosphate = 0.2352

Molarity of the HNO₃ Solution = 0.08892 M

Now,

From the reaction it can be observed that 1 mol of potassium hydrogen phosphate reacts with 2 mol of HNO₃

The number of moles of 0.2352 g of potassium hydrogen phosphate

= Mass / Molar mass

also,

Molar mass of potassium hydrogen phosphate

= 2 × (39.09) + 1 + 30.97 + 4 × 16 = 174.15 g / mol

Number of moles = 0.2352 / 174.15 = 0.00135 moles

thus,

The number of moles of HNO₃ required for  0.00135 moles

= 2 ×  0.00135 mol of HNO₃

= 0.0027 mol of HNO₃

Now,

Molarity = Number of Moles / Volume

thus,

for 0.0027 mol of HNO₃, we have

0.08892 = 0.0027 / Volume

or

Volume =  0.0303 Liters

How many grams of magnesium metal will react completely with 5.2 liters of 4.0 M HCl?
neonofarm [45]
1) Find the number of mols of HCl in 5.2 liters of 4.0M solution:

n = M*V(L) = 4.0 mol/L * 5.2 L = 20.8 mol

2) Find the number of mols of Mg that will react with 20.8 mol of HCl, using the coefficients of the balanced equation

[1mol Mg / 2 mol HCl] * 20.8 mol HCl = 10.4 mol Mg

3) Transform mol to mass using the atomic mass:

10.4 mol Mg * 24.3 g/mol = 252.7 g of Mg.

What is physical property?
ExtremeBDS [4]
A physical property is any property that is measurable, whose value describes a state of a physical system. The changes in the physical properties of a system can be used to describe its changes between momentary states. Physical properties are often referred to as observables. They are not modal properties.
