Answer:

The molecular formula of the compound is C_{8}H_{16}O_{4}. The molecular formula is obtained by the following expression shown below

\textrm{Molecular formula }= n\times \textrm{Empirical formula}

Explanation:

Given molecular mass of the compound is 176 g/mol

Given empirical formula is  C_{2}H_{4}O

Atomic mass of carbon, hydrogen and oxygen are 12 u , 1 u and 16 u respectively.

Empirical formula mass of the compound = \left ( 2\times12+4+16 \right ) \textrm{ u} = 44 \textrm{ g/mol}

n = \displaystyle \frac{\textrm{Molecular formula mass}}{\textrm{Empirical formula mass}} \\n = \displaystyle \frac{176}{44} = 4

\textrm{Molecular formula }= n\times \textrm{Empirical formula}

Molecular formula = 4 \times C_{2}H_{4}O

Molecular formula is C_{8}H_{16}O_{4}

Use standard enthalpies of formation to calculate Δ H ∘ rxn for each reaction. MISSED THIS? Read Section 7.9; Watch KCV 7.9, IWE
Eva8 [605]

Answer:

Standard Heat of Reaction 1 = -136.2 kJ/mol

Standard Heat of Reaction 2 = -41.166 kJ/mol

Standard Heat of Reaction 3 = -136.07 kJ/mol

Standard Heat of Reaction 4 = 279.448kJ/mol

Explanation:

C₂H₄ (g) + H₂ (g) → C₂H₆ (g)

CO (g) + H₂O (g) → H₂ (g) + CO₂ (g)

3NO₂ (g) + H₂O (l) → 2HNO₃ (aq) + NO (g)

Cr₂O₃ (s) + 3CO (g) → 2Cr (s) + 3CO₂ (g)

The required standard heat of formation for each of the reactants and product above, as obtained from literature is listed below.

C₂H₄ (g), 52.5 kJ/mol

H₂ (g), 0 kJ/mol

C₂H₆ (g), -83.7 kJ/mol

CO (g), -110.525 kJ/mol

H₂O (g), -241.818 kJ/mol

H₂ (g), 0 kJ/mol

CO₂ (g), -393.509 kJ/mol

NO₂ (g), 33.2 kJ/mol

H₂O (l), -285.8 kJ/mol

HNO₃ (aq), -206.28 kJ/mol

NO (g), 90.29 kJ/mol

Cr₂O₃ (s), -1128.4 kJ/mol

CO (g), -110.525 kJ/mol

Cr (s), 0 kJ/mol

CO₂ (g), -393.509 kJ/mol

Note that

ΔH∘(rxn) = ΔH∘(products) - ΔH∘(reactants)

C₂H₄ (g) + H₂ (g) → C₂H₆ (g)

ΔH∘(rxn) = ΔH∘(products) - ΔH∘(reactants)

ΔH∘(products) = (1×-83.7) = -83.7 kJ/mol

ΔH∘(reactants) = (1×52.5) + (1×0) = 52.5 kJ/mol

ΔH∘(rxn) = -83.7 - 52.5 = -136.2 kJ/mol

CO (g) + H₂O (g) → H₂ (g) + CO₂ (g)

ΔH∘(rxn) = ΔH∘(products) - ΔH∘(reactants)

ΔH∘(products) = (1×0) + (1×-393.509) = -393.509 kJ/mol

ΔH∘(reactants) = (1×-110.525) + (1×-241.818) = -352.343 kJ/mol

ΔH∘(rxn) = -393.509 - (-352.343) = -41.166 kJ/mol

3NO₂ (g) + H₂O (l) → 2HNO₃ (aq) + NO (g)

ΔH∘(rxn) = ΔH∘(products) - ΔH∘(reactants)

ΔH∘(products) = (2×-206.28) + (1×90.29) = -322.27 kJ/mol

ΔH∘(reactants) = (3×33.2) + (1×-285.8) = -186.2 kJ/mol

ΔH∘(rxn) = -322.27 - (-186.2) = -136.07 kJ/mol

Cr₂O₃ (s) + 3CO (g) → 2Cr (s) + 3CO₂ (g)

ΔH∘(rxn) = ΔH∘(products) - ΔH∘(reactants)

ΔH∘(products) = (2×0) + (3×-393.509) = -1,180.527 kJ/mol

ΔH∘(reactants) = (1×-1128.4) + (3×-110.525) = -1,459.975 kJ/mol

ΔH∘(rxn) = -1,180.527 - (-1,459.975) = 279.448 kJ/mol

Hope this Helps!!!

Determine the number of significant figures in the measurement quantity: 2600. kg.
xxMikexx [17]

Answer:

2600 kg has 4 significant figures

Explanation:

Any different number to zero is a significant figure

For example, 1.8 → 2 significant figures

When you  have 0 in the middle of two numbers, we consider it as a significant number

For example, 3.02 → 3 significant figures

When you have 0 on the left in the measure, we do not consider as a sgnificant figures

For example 0.0010 → 2 significant figures (10)

3.0 → 2 significant figures (0 is on the right, not the left)
