A student is using a coffee-cup calorimeter to determine the enthalpy change of the endothermic reaction of two aqueous solution

s. After both solutions are added to the cup, the student neglects to put the lid on the cup. This would cause the magnitude of the calculated ΔH° value to be: the answer is: too small, since the solution will absorb heat from the room. But why? Wouldn't depend on if the reaction releases or absorbs heat. Wouldn't it be too large because heat escapes the cup? I'm so confused

Answer:

See the answer below

Explanation:

<em>First, it should be understood that an endothermic reaction is one that absorbs energy in the form of heat from the surrounding.</em> The products of endothermic reactions usually have higher energy than their reactants. Hence, the ΔH° which is referred to as the enthalpy change is usually positive.

<u>Forgetting to cover the coffee-cup calorimeter means some of the heat energy absorbed by the reactants would be exchanged back to the surroundings - a loss.</u> It also means that the enthalpy change would be smaller compared to if the cup had been covered because some of the heat has been lost to the surrounding.

For hydrocyanic acid, HCN, Ka = 4.9 × 10-10. Calculate the pH of 0.20 M NaCN. What is the concentration of HCN in the solution?
gogolik [260]
By using the ICE table :

initial    0.2 M            0           0
change -X                 + X           +X
Equ     (0.2 -X)            X               X

when Ka = (X) (X) / (0.2-X)
so by substitution:

4.9x10^-10 = X^2 / (0.2-X) by solving this equation for X 
∴X ≈ 10^-6
∴[HCN] = 10^-6

and PH = -㏒[H+]
             = -㏒ 10^-6
             = 6

Smart people help me pass my class
slega [8]

Answer:

im not smart but here

Explanation:

The strength of the gravitational force between two objects depends on two factors, mass and distance. the force of gravity the masses exert on each other. If one of the masses is doubled, the force of gravity between the objects is doubled. increases, the force of gravity decreases.

How many grams of carbon dioxide will form if 5.5 g of C3H8 burns in 15 g of O2?
mr Goodwill [35]
C3H8+3O2--->3CO2+8H
Therefore for every 1:3 there are 3 Carbon dioxides that form. That means find the limiting reactant from the two reactants.
5.5g(1mole C3H8/44.03g of C3H8)=0.1249 moled of C3H8 and if for every one C3H8 we can form three CO2. We can assume 0.3747 miles of CO2 will be produced.
15g of O2(1 mole O2/32g of O2)=0.4685moles O2 and if for every three O2 we can produce three CO2 we may assume a 1:1 ratio.
This means C3H8 will be your limiting reactant. Therefore 0.3747 moles of CO2 will be produced.
0.3747 moles of CO2(48.01 g of CO2/1 mole of CO2)= 17.99 grams of CO2
