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

3.65 gram of hcl is dissolved in 180 gram of water. Find the total number of molecules of hydrogen​
Morgarella [4.7K]

Answer:

Molec_{\ H_{tot}}=1.206x10^{25}molec

Explanation:

Hello.

In this case, taking into account that HCl has one molecule of hydrogen per mole of compound which weights 36.45 g/mol, we compute the number of molecules of hydrogen in hydrochloric acid by considering the given mass and the Avogadro's number:

molec_{\ H}=3.65gHCl*\frac{1molHCl}{36.45gHCl} *\frac{1molH}{1molHCl}*\frac{6.022x10^{23}molec_\ H}{1molH}  =6.03x10^{22}molec

Now, from the 180 g of water, we see two hydrogen molecules per molecule of water, thus, by also using the Avogadro's number we compute the molecules of hydrogen in water:

molec_{\ H}=180gH_2O*\frac{1molH_2O}{18gH_2O} *\frac{2molH}{1molH_2O}*\frac{6.022x10^{23}molec_\ H}{1molH}  =1.20x10^{25}molec

Thus, the total number of molecules turns out:

Molec_{\ H_{tot}}=6.03x10^{22}+1.20x10^{25}\\\\Molec_{\ H_{tot}}=1.206x10^{25}molec

It has been suggested that hydrogen gas obtained by the decomposition of water might be a substitute for natural gas (principall
Aleks [24]

Answer:

Hydrogen: -141 kJ/g

Methane: -55kJ/g

The energy released per gram of hydrogen in its combustion is higher than the energy released per gram of methane in its combustion.

Explanation:

According to the law of conservation of the energy, the sum of the heat released by the combustion and the heat absorbed by the bomb calorimeter is zero.

Qc + Qb = 0

Qc = -Qb  [1]

We can calculate the heat absorbed by the bomb calorimeter using the following expression.

Q = C . ΔT

where,

C is the heat capacity

ΔT is the change in the temperature

<h3>Hydrogen</h3>

Qc = -Qb = -C . ΔT = -(11.3 kJ/°C) . (14.3°C) = -162 kJ

The heat released per gram of hydrogen is:

\frac{-162kJ}{1.15g} =-141 kJ/g

<h3>Methane</h3>

Qc = -Qb = -C . ΔT = -(11.3 kJ/°C) . (7.3°C) = -82 kJ

The heat released per gram of methane is:

\frac{-82kJ}{1.50g} =-55kJ/g

Which of the following will occur soon after a population of prey increases slightly in size?
Lady bird [3.3K]
Your answer is D predator population will increase greatly. That's because if there's more prey there will be more food and its good for the predators to produce more because they don't got to worry about food. Speaking how they preys population grew.

So your answer is D.
