ddd [48]

Answer :

The enthalpy of reaction is, -187.6 kJ/mol

The total heat will be, -2251 kJ

Explanation :

According to Hess’s law of constant heat summation, the heat absorbed or evolved in a given chemical equation is the same whether the process occurs in one step or several steps.

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

(a) The formation of $CH_4$ will be,

$2C(coal)+2H_2O(g)\rightarrow CH_4(g)+CO_2(g)$ $\Delta H_{rxn}=?$

The intermediate balanced chemical reaction will be,

(1) $C(coal)+H_2O(g)\rightarrow CO(g)+H_2(g)$ $\Delta H_1=29.7kJ$

(2) $CO(g)+H_2O(g)\rightarrow CO_2(g)+H_2(g)$ $\Delta H_2=-41kJ$

(3) $CO(g)+3H_2(g)\rightarrow CH_4(g)+H_2O(g)$ $\Delta H_3=-206kJ$

We are multiplying equation 1 by 2 and then adding all the equations, we get :

(b) The expression for enthalpy of reaction will be,

$\Delta H_{rxn}=2\times \Delta H_1+\Delta H_2+\Delta H_3$

$\Delta H_{rxn}=(2\times 29.7)+(-41)+(-206)$

$\Delta H_{rxn}=-187.6kJ/mol$

Therefore, the enthalpy of reaction is, -187.6 kJ/mol

(c) Now we have to calculate the total heat.

$\Delta H=\frac{q}{n}$

or,

$q=\Delta H\times n$

where,

$\Delta H$ = enthalpy change = -187.6 kJ/mol

q = heat = ?

n = number of moles of coal = $\frac{1.00\times 1000g}{12.00g/mol}=83.33mol$

Now put all the given values in the above formula, we get:

$q=(-187.6kJ/mol)\times (83.33mol)=-2.251kJ$

Thus, the total heat will be, -2251 kJ

Combustion reactions are a notable source of carbon dioxide in the environment. Using the following balanced equation, how many

iris [78.8K]

Answer:

Explanation:

Number of moles of propane:

=Mass in grams ÷ Relative molecular Mass

= 100/((12*3) + (1*8))

= 100 ÷ 44

= 2.2727

Mole ratio propane:carbon (IV) oxide = 1:3(from the equation)

Number of moles of CO2 = 3*2.2727 = 6.8181

Mass in grams = Relative molecular Mass * Number of moles

= 44 * 6.8181

= 299.9964 grams

Describe light with respect to its speed and its dual nature as both a wave and a particle.

Sedbober [7]

Answer:

Scientists have been debating over light being a wave or particle since its recognition.

Sir Issac Newton discovered that light had frequency and other properties. Newton described light to be a particle because it created shadows which were sharp and very clear.

Francesco Maria Grimaldi, claimed that light was a wave. This was because this scientist observed the diffraction of light and hence, claimed light to be a type of wave.

The speed of light is 299 792 458 m / s. Nothing can travel faster than light.
