If a gas furnace releases 420 kcal of heat energy, what is the energy in kilojoules? (1 cal = 4.184 J)

Chemistry
1 answer:
Igoryamba4 years ago

Answer:
The furnace releases 1757280 J 

Explanation:
We will do the conversion on two steps:
1- convert the kcal to cal
2- convert the cal to J

Step 1: converting kcal to cal
1 kcal is equivalent to 1000 cal. Therefore:
420 kcal is equivalent to 420*1000 = 420000 cal

Step 2: converting cal to J
We are given that:
<span>1 cal = 4.184 J
</span>Therefore:
420000 cal is equivalent to 420000 * 4.184 = 1757280 J 

Hope this helps :)

A solution consists of 35.00 g of CuSO4 dissolved in 250.0 mL of water. The molar mass of Cu is 63.55 g/mol the molar mass of S
slamgirl [31]

The molarity of a solution that contains 35.00 g of CuSO4 dissolved in 250.0 mL of water is 0.88M.

<h3>How to calculate molarity?</h3>

The molarity of a solution can be calculated using the following formula:

Molarity = no of moles/volume

According to this question, a solution consists of 35.00 g of CuSO4 dissolved in 250.0 mL of water.

no.of moles of CuSO4 = 35g ÷ 159.6g/mol

no. of moles of CuSO4 = 0.22 moles

Therefore; molarity of CuSO4 solution is calculated as follows:

M = 0.22 ÷ 0.25

M = 0.88M

Therefore, the molarity of a solution that contains 35.00 g of CuSO4 dissolved in 250.0 mL of water is 0.88M.

Explain the difference between complete dominance and codominance.Give an example of each one in order to explain it.
Ira Lisetskai [31]
In complete dominance, only one allele in the genotype is seen in the phenotype. In codominance, both alleles in the genotype are seen in the phenotype. In incomplete dominance, a mixture of the alleles in the genotype is seen in the phenotype.

34g aluminum are combined with 39g chlorine gas which is the limiting reactant
vampirchik [111]

The limiting reactant is chlorine (Cl2).

<u>Explanation</u>:

Limiting reactant is the amount of product formed which gets limited by the reagent without continuing it.

        2 Al + 3 Cl2 ==> 2 AlCl3  represents the balanced equation.

Number of moles Al present = 34 g Al x 1 mole Al / 26.98 g

                                                = 1.260 g moles of Al

Number of moles Cl2 present = 39 g Cl2 x 1 mole Cl2 / 35.45 g

                                                  = 1.10 g moles of Cl2

Dividing each reactant by it's coefficient in the balanced equation obtains:

1.260 moles Al / 2 = 0.63 g moles of Al

1.11 moles Cl2 / 3 = 0.36 g moles of Cl2

The reactant which produces a lesser amount of product is called as limiting reactant.

Here the Limiting reactant is Cl2.

Each of the following reactions is incomplete. Match each of the following particles with the correct reaction in order to compl
kiruha [24]

Answer:

1. Option A. Beta decay minus 0 -1e

2. Option B. Alpha 4 2He

3. Option A. Beta decay minus 0 -1e

Explanation:

1. 66 29Cu is undergoing beta decay minus since it produces a daughter nuclei having the same mass number and the atomic number increased by 1 i.e 66 30Zn

2. 238 92U is undergoing alpha decay since the daughter nuclei produced has a decrease of 4 in the mass number and a decrease of 2 in the atomic number ie 234 90Th

3. 14 6C is undergoing beta decay minus since the daughter nuclei produced has the same mass number and the atomic number increased by 1 i.e 14 7N

How much CuSO4*5H2O and Na2CO3 is needed to obtain 5g of CuCO3?
Svetllana [295]
I think the reaction that is occurring is CuSO₄(aq)+Na₂CO₃(aq)⇒CuCO₃(s)+Na₂SO₄(aq).  Water in the hydrate will just become part of water in solution so it does not really matter for this question.  
SInce we now know the balanced chemical equation, you can use stoichiometry to find the amount of reactants needed to produce 5g CuCO₃.  
The first step to any stoichiometry question is to convert the mass given into moles.  To do this you have to divide the mass by the molar mass of the compound the mass is referring to.  The molar mass of CuCO₃ is 123.5g/mol so you have to divide 5g by 123.5g/mol to get 0.04047 moles of CuCO₃.
The next step in this qustoin is to find the number of moles of each reactant using the moles of product we found in the first step.  To do this, we need go back and look at the equation to find the molar ratios which is shown through the coefficients.  Since all of the coeficients in the chemical equation is 1, we know the molar ratios are all `1 to 1 and therefore the number of moels of each reactant is equal to the number of moles of the product found in step one.  This means that you started off with 0.04047 moles of both CuSO₄ and Na₂CO₃.
The final step is to multiply the number moles of each reactant by its molar mass.  the molar mass of CuSO₄ is 159.6g/mol and the molar mass of Na₂CO₃ is 106g/mol.  When you multiply 0.04047mol by 159.6g/mol you get 6.4g and when you multiply 0.04047mol by 106g/mol you get 4.29g.
Therefore you started with 6.4g of CuSO₄ and 4.29g of Na₂CO₃.
I hope this helps.
