A calorimeter works by having a known mass of known material combust or react in an enclosed space. The calorimeter has an agent for absorption of the heat released during the process of combustion or reaction. For example, the heat absorbing agent may be water. The change in temperature of the heat absorbent along with its specific heat capacity and mass are used to compute the energy released using the equation:
Q = mCΔT

One gram of liquid benzene is burned in a bomb calorimeter. The temperature before ignition was 20.826 ℃, and the temperature af
gtnhenbr [62]

Answer:fH = - 3,255.7 kJ/mol

Explanation:Because the bomb calorimeter is adiabatic (q =0), there'is no heat inside or outside it, so the heat flow from the combustion plus the heat flow of the system (bomb, water, and the contents) must be 0.

Qsystem + Qcombustion = 0

Qsystem = heat capacity*ΔT

10000*(25.000 - 20.826) + Qc = 0

Qcombustion = - 41,740 J = - 41.74 kJ

So, the enthaply of formation of benzene (fH) at 298.15 K (25.000 ºC) is the heat of the combustion, divided by the number of moles of it. The molar mass od benzene is: 6x12 g/mol of C + 6x1 g/mol of H = 78 g/mol, and:

n = mass/molar mass = 1/ 78

n = 0.01282 mol

fH = -41.74/0.01282

fH = - 3,255.7 kJ/mol

A substance has a atomic number of 80.How many protons and electrons do atoms of the substance have ?what is the substance
Anarel [89]

Answer: Substance is Mercury (Hg)

              number of protons = 80

              number of electrons = 80

Explanation:

Atomic number which is symbolized by "Z" is the number of protons in nucleus of an atom.

Hence,

     number of protons = atomic number = 80

  • By knowing atomic number, we can find the element by using periodic table. Since the atomic number 80, the element is Mercury (Hg).

If the substance is in its neutral state, which means there is no charge on it, then the number of protons equals to the number of electrons of that element.

Hence,

   number of electrons = number of protons = 80
