Calculate the net change in enthalpy for the formation of one mole of nitric acid from nitrogen, hydrogen and oxygen from these
deff fn [24]
The formation of nitric acid from nitrogen, hydrogen, and oxygen can be written as,

     N₂ + H₂ + 3O₂ --> 2HNO₃

The net enthalpy of formation of nitric acid is calculated by,
   Hrxn = Hproduct - Hreactant

Since all the reactants are in their elemental forms, the simplified equation would be,

    Hrxn = Hproduct 

Substituting,

    Hrxn = (-186.81 kJ/mol)(2 mols)

<em>Answer: -372.42 kJ</em>

A hydrocarbon sample was burned in a bomb calorimeter. The temperature of the calorimeter and the 1.00 kg of water rose from 20.
fomenos

Answer:

The heat released by the combustion is 20,47 kJ

Explanation:

Bomb calorimeter is an instrument used to measure the heat of a reaction. The formula is:

Q = C×m×ΔT + Cc×ΔT

Where:

Q is the heat released

C is specific heat of water (4,186kJ/kg°C)

m is mass of water (1,00kg)

ΔT is temperature change (23,65°C - 20,45°C)

And Cc is heat capacity of the calorimeter (2,21kJ/°C)

Replacing these values the heat released by the combustion is:

<em>Q = 20,47 kJ</em>

What is the solvent in blood?
sergeinik [125]

Answer:

Water serves to suspend the red blood cells to carry oxygen to the cells. It is the solvent for the electrolytes and nutrients needed by the cells, and also the solvent to carry waste material away from the cells. With water as the solvent, osmotic pressure acts to transport the needed water into cells.

0.00632 into a scientific notation
ddd [48]

Answer:

6.32 × 10⁻³

3.2560008× 10⁷

5.630× 10⁰

9.5002× 10¹

Explanation:

Scientific notation is the way to express the large value in short form.

The number in scientific notation have two parts.

The digits (decimal point will place after first digit)

× 10 ( the power which put the decimal point where it should be)

For example:

0.00632

In scientific notation =  6.32 × 10⁻³

32,560,008

In scientific notation  = 3.2560008× 10⁷

5.630

In scientific notation  = 5.630× 10⁰

95.002

In scientific notation  = 9.5002× 10¹
