Answer:

The number of carbon atoms in the container is 1.806 × 10²⁴ or the container contains 1.806 × 10²⁴ atoms of carbon

Explanation:

By Avogadro's number, 1 mole of a substance contains 6.02 × 10²³ particles of the substance

Here we have 0.45 mole of CO₂ contains

0.45 × 6.02 × 10²³ particles of CO₂ that is 2.709 × 10²³ particles of CO₂ or equivalent to 2.709 × 10²³ atoms of Carbon

Similarly, 2.55 moles of CaC₂ contains 2.55 × 6.02 × 10²³ particles of CaC₂ or 1.5351 × 10²⁴ atoms of Carbon

The total number of carbon atoms is therefore;

2.709 × 10²³ + 1.5351 × 10²⁴ = 1.806 × 10²⁴ atoms of carbon.

Zinc metal is added to a flask containing aqueous hydrochloric acid. The flask contains 0.400 mole of HCl. How much hydrogen gas

dusya [7]

Answer:

0.4 g of hydrogen gas would be produced.

1. 0.48 mole of HCl is needed to react completely with 15.5 g of zinc.

2. HCl is the limiting reactant.

3. 2.61 g of zinc is in excess

Explanation:

From the balanced equation of reaction:

$Zn(s)+ 2HCl(aq) --> H_2(g) + ZnCl_2(aq)$

1 mole of Zn requires 2 moles of HCl to produce 1 mole of hydrogen gas.

15.5 g of zinc = 15.5/65.3 = 0.24 moles of zinc.

0.24 moles Zn is supposed to require 0.24 x 2 moles HCl which is equivalent to 0.48 moles HCl.

But only 0.400 mole of HCl is present. Hence, HCl is the limiting reagent. For complete reaction with 15.5 g of Zinc, 0.48 mole HCl would be needed.

0.400 mole of HCl will require 0.2 mole of Zn for complete reaction. This thus means that 0.24 - 02 = 0.04 mole of Zn is in excess.

0.04 mole Zn = 0.04 x 65.3 = 2.61 g excess Zn.

Now, since HCl is the limiting reagent;

2 moles of HCl is required to produce 1 mole of H2 according to the equation.

0.400 mole HCl will therefore yield 0.400 x 1/2 = 0.2 mole H2

0.2 mole H2 = 2 x 0.2 = 0.4 g H2

Hence, 0.4 g of hydrogen gas would be produced.

31.5 grams of an unknown substance is heated to 102.4 degrees Celsius and then placed into a calorimeter containing 103.5 grams

Alexxandr [17]

Heat gained in a system can be calculated by multiplying the given mass to the specific heat capacity of the substance and the temperature difference. It is expressed as follows:

Heat = mC(T2-T1)

When two objects are in contact, it should be that the heat lost is equal to what is gained by the other. From this, we can calculate things. We do as follows:

Heat gained = Heat lost
mC(T2-T1) = - mC(T2-T1)
31.5C (102.4 - 32.5) = 103.5(4.18)(32.5 - 24.5)
C = 1.57 J/C-g

Hope this helps.

Carbon, hydrogen and ethane each burn exothermically in an excess of air. AHⓇ =-393.7 kJ mol. C(s) + O2(g) → CO2(g) H2(g) + % O2

Salsk061 [2.6K]

Answer: The $\Delta H^o_{rxn}$ for the reaction is 51.8 kJ.

Explanation:

Hess’s law of constant heat summation states that the amount of heat absorbed or evolved in a given chemical equation remains the same whether the process occurs in one step or several steps.

According to this law, the chemical equation is treated as ordinary algebraic expressions and can be added or subtracted to yield the required equation. This means that the enthalpy change of the overall reaction is equal to the sum of the enthalpy changes of the intermediate reactions.

The chemical equation for the reaction of carbon and water follows:

$2C(s)+2H_2(g)\rightarrow C_2H_4(g)$ $\Delta H^o_{rxn}=?$
