Sulfur dioxide, SO 2 ( g ) , can react with oxygen to produce sulfur trioxide, SO 3 ( g ) , by the reaction 2 SO 2 ( g ) + O 2 (

aleksley [76]

Answer: The amount of heat produced by the reaction is -21.36 kJ

Explanation:

Enthalpy change is defined as the difference in enthalpies of all the product and the reactants each multiplied with their respective number of moles.

The equation used to calculate enthalpy change is of a reaction is:

$\Delta H^o_{rxn}=\sum [n\times \Delta H_f_{(product)}]-\sum [n\times \Delta H_f_{(reactant)}]$

For the given chemical reaction:

$2SO_2(g)+O_2(g)\rightarrow 2SO_3(g)$

The equation for the enthalpy change of the above reaction is:

$\Delta H_{rxn}=[(2\times \Delta H_f_{(SO_3(g))})]-[(2\times \Delta H_f_{(SO_2(g))})+(1\times \Delta H_f_{(O_2(g))})]$

We are given:

$\Delta H_f_{(SO_2(g))}=-296.8kJ/mol\\\Delta H_f_{(SO_3(g))}=-395.7kJ/mol\\\Delta H_f_{(O_2(g))}=0kJ/mol$

Putting values in above equation, we get:

$\Delta H_{rxn}=[(2\times (-395.7))]-[(2\times (-296.8))+(1\times (0))]\\\\\Delta H_{rxn}=-197.8kJ/mol$

To calculate the number of moles, we use ideal gas equation, which is:

$PV=nRT$

where,

P = pressure of the gas = 1.00 bar

V = Volume of the gas = 2.67 L

n = number of moles of gas = ?

R = Gas constant = $0.0831\text{ L. bar }mol^{-1}K^{-1}$

T = temperature of the mixture = $25^oC=[25+273]K=298K$

Putting values in above equation, we get:

$1.00bar\times 2.67L=n\times 0.0831\text{ L. bar }mol^{-1}K^{-1}\times 298K\\\\n=\frac{1\times 2.67}{0.0831\times 298}=0.108mol$

To calculate the heat released of the reaction, we use the equation:

$\Delta H_{rxn}=\frac{q}{n}$

where,

q = amount of heat released = ?

n = number of moles = 0.108 moles

$\Delta H_{rxn}$ = enthalpy change of the reaction = -197.8 kJ/mol

Putting values in above equation, we get:

$-197.8kJ/mol=\frac{q}{0.108mol}\\\\q=(-197.8kJ/mol\times 0.108mol)=-21.36kJ$

Hence, the amount of heat produced by the reaction is -21.36 kJ

A sample of methane (CH4) has a volume of 25 mL at a pressure of 0.80 atm. What is the volume of the gas at each of the followin

Xelga [282]

Answer:

a. 50ml b.10ml c. 6.097ml d. 190.1 ml

Explanation:

According to Boyle's law

Volume is inversely proportional to pressure at constant temerature

Mathematically

P1V1=P2V2

P1=Initial pressure=0.8atm

V1=Initial volume=25ml

making V2 the subject

at 0.4atm P2=0.4 atm,

V2=25×0.8/0.4

=50ml

at 2 atm V2=25×0.8/2

=10 ml

1mmHg=0.00131579

2500mmHg=3.28 atm

At 3.28 atm,V2=25×0.8/3.28

=6.097 ml

at 80.0 torr

1 torr=0.00131579

80 torr=0.1052 atm

at 0.1048 atm V2=25×0.8/0.1048

=190.1 ml

What is the new concentration of a solution of CaSO3 if 10.0 mL of a 2.0 M CaSO3 solution is diluted to 100 ml?

kifflom [539]

Answer: The new concentration of a solution of $CaSO_{3}$ is 0.2 M 10.0 mL of a 2.0 M $CaSO_{3}$ solution is diluted to 100 mL.

Explanation:

Given: $V_{1}$ = 10.0 mL, $M_{1}$ = 2.0 M

$V_{2}$ = 100 mL, $M_{2}$ = ?

Formula used to calculate the new concentration is as follows.

$M_{1}V_{1} = M_{2}V_{2}$

Substitute the values into above formula as follows.

$M_{1}V_{1} = M_{2}V_{2}\\10.0 mL \times 2.0 M = M_{2} \times 100 mL\\M_{2} = 0.2 M$

Thus, we can conclude that the new concentration of a solution of $CaSO_{3}$ is 0.2 M 10.0 mL of a 2.0 M $CaSO_{3}$ solution is diluted to 100 mL.

Assume the recommended single dose of an antihistamine for a child weighing between 18-23 lbs is 0.75 teaspoons (tsp). if 1.00 t

blagie [28]

We are given that 1 teaspoon is equivalent to 5 mL, therefore 0.75 teaspoon is:

0.75 teaspoon * (5 mL / 1 teaspoon) = 3.75 mL

So the mass is density times volume:

mass = (12.5 mg/5 ml) * 3.75 mL

mass = 9.375 mg
