Answer:

Answers are in the explanation

Explanation:

Equlibrium of HF in H₂O is:

HF + H₂O ⇄ F⁻ + H₃O⁺

Now, the KOH reacts with HF, thus:

KOH + HF →  F⁻ + H₂O

<em>That means after reaction, concentration of HF decrease increasing F⁻ concentration.</em>

Now, seeing the equilibrium, as moles of HF decrease and F⁻ moles increase, the equilibrium will shift to the left decreasing H₃O⁺ concentration.

For the statements:

A. The number of moles of HF will increase. <em>FALSE</em>. HF react with KOH, thus, moles of HF decrease

B. The number of moles of F- will decrease. <em>FALSE</em>. The reaction produce  F⁻ increasing its moles.

C. The equilibrium concentration of H₃O⁺ will increase. <em>FALSE. </em>The equilibrium shift to the left decreasing concentration of H₃O⁺

D. The pH will decrease. <em>FALSE</em>. As the H₃O⁺ concentration decrease, pH will increase

E. The ratio of [HF] / [F-] will remain the same. <em>FALSE</em>. Because moles of HF are decreasing whereas F- moles are increasing changing, thus, ratio.

Using the standard enthalpies of formation found in the textbook, determine the enthalpy change for the combustion of ethanol c2
ArbitrLikvidat [17]
Enthalpy of formation is calculated by subtracting the total enthalpy of formation of the reactants from those of the products. This is called the HESS' LAW.
ΔHrxn = ΔH(products) - ΔH(reactants)

Since the enthalpies are not listed in this item, from reliable sources, the obtained enthalpies of formation are written below.
ΔH(C2H5OH) = -276 kJ/mol
ΔH(O2) = 0 (because O2 is a pure substance)
ΔH(CO2) = -393.5 kJ/mol
ΔH(H2O) = -285.5 kJ/mol

Using the equation above,
ΔHrxn = (2)(-393.5 kJ/mol) + (3)(-285.5 kJ/mol) - (-276 kJ/mol)
ΔHrxn = -1367.5 kJ/mol

<em>Answer: -1367.5 kJ/mol</em>

A mixture of C3H8 and C2H2 has a mass of 2.8 g. It is burned in excess O2 to form a mixture of water and carbon dioxide that con
astraxan [27]

Answer:

The mass of C2H2 in the mixture is 0.56gram using the ratio of carbon in the products contributed by the C2H2.

Explanation:

The balanced equation for the reaction is: C3H8 + 2C2H2 + 10O2 >> 7CO2 + 6H2O.

From the reaction, we know that the oxygen was in excess, this will make the Carbon sources the limiting agents in the reaction. The details of the reaction showed that the ratio of water to the carbon dioxide is 1.6:1. This also means that the expected mole of carbon dioxide will be 7/1.6, which is 3.75moles.

The individual balanced equation of reaction is:

C3H3 +5O2 >> 3CO2 + 4H2O

and 2C2H2 + 5O2 >>4CO2 + 2H2O. From this one can quickly tell that the propane is in sufficient supply as it produces 3 moles of CO2 out of the expected 3.75 moles obtained above. Leaving 0.75moles of CO2 to the ethyne.

The mass of ethyne in the mixture will therefore be: 0.75/3.75 X 2.8 = 0.56g.
