Answer:

It is a triglyceride

Explanation:

A triglyceride is a molecule that contains a glycerol group and three fatty acids linked by an ester linkage. A fatty acid is a molecule formed by a long linear hydrocarbon chain, of different length or number of carbon atoms, at the end of which is a carboxyl group. These chains can be saturated (with hydrogen) or when there are double bonds in the chain this reduces the available places of hydrogen that's why it's called unsaturated.

In the image you can see on the right the glycerol group. And the three fatty acids extending to the left. The top one is an example of a saturated fatty acid, and the two below unsaturated.

Triglycerides are generally solid at room temperature and are therefore called fats. For example, the fat that constitutes us is mostly formed by triglycerides.

In general, what is the effect of increased temperature on the solubility of a gas?

Alecsey [184]

The physical explanation is that increasing temperature increases the kinetic energy of the gas molecules. Hence, their random motion breaks more intermolecular bonds and the gas is less dissolved in the solvent. In contrast, solid solutes in water have increased solubility with increased temperatures.

A rigid tank contains 0.66 mol of oxygen (O2). Find the mass of oxygen that must be withdrawn from the tank to lower the pressur

dsp73

Answer:

12.8 g of $O_{2}$ must be withdrawn from tank

Explanation:

Let's assume $O_{2}$ gas inside tank behaves ideally.

According to ideal gas equation- $PV=nRT$

where P is pressure of $O_{2}$ , V is volume of $O_{2}$ , n is number of moles of $O_{2}$ , R is gas constant and T is temperature in kelvin scale.

We can also write, $\frac{V}{RT}=\frac{n}{P}$

Here V, T and R are constants.

So, $\frac{n}{P}$ ratio will also be constant before and after removal of $O_{2}$ from tank

Hence, $\frac{n_{before}}{P_{before}}=\frac{n_{after}}{P_{after}}$

Here, $\frac{n_{before}}{P_{before}}=\frac{0.66mol}{43atm}$ and $P_{after}=17atm$

So, $n_{after}=\frac{n_{before}}{P_{before}}\times P_{after}=\frac{0.66mol}{43atm}\times 17atm=0.26mol$

So, moles of $O_{2}$ must be withdrawn = (0.66 - 0.26) mol = 0.40 mol

Molar mass of $O_{2}$ = 32 g/mol

So, mass of $O_{2}$ must be withdrawn = $(32\times 0.40)g=12.8g$

Burning a compound of calcium, carbon, and nitrogen in oxygen in a combustion train generates calcium oxide , carbon dioxide , n

mylen [45]

The question is incomplete, here is the complete question:

Burning a compound of calcium, carbon, and nitrogen in oxygen in a combustion train generates calcium oxide (CaO), carbon dioxide $(CO_2)$ , nitrogen dioxide $(NO_2)$ , and no other substances. A small sample gives 2.389 g CaO, 1.876 g $CO_2$ , and 3.921 g $NO_2$ Determine the empirical formula of the compound.

Answer: The empirical formula for the given compound is $CaCN_2$

Explanation:

The chemical equation for the combustion of compound having calcium, carbon and nitrogen follows:

$Ca_xC_yN_z+O_2\rightarrow CaO+CO_2+NO_2$

where, 'x', 'y' and 'z' are the subscripts of calcium, carbon and nitrogen respectively.

We are given:

Mass of CaO = 2.389 g

Mass of $CO_2=1.876g$

Mass of $NO_2=3.921g$

We know that:

Molar mass of calcium oxide = 56 g/mol

Molar mass of carbon dioxide = 44 g/mol

Molar mass of nitrogen dioxide = 46 g/mol

For calculating the mass of carbon:

In 44g of carbon dioxide, 12 g of carbon is contained.

So, in 1.876 g of carbon dioxide, $\frac{12}{44}\times 1.876=0.5116g$ of carbon will be contained.

For calculating the mass of nitrogen:

In 46 g of nitrogen dioxide, 14 g of nitrogen is contained.

So, in 3.921 g of nitrogen dioxide, $\frac{14}{46}\times 3.921=1.193g$ of nitrogen will be contained.

For calculating the mass of calcium:

In 56 g of calcium oxide, 40 g of calcium is contained.

So, in 2.389 g of calcium oxide, $\frac{40}{56}\times 2.389=1.706g$ of calcium will be contained.

To formulate the empirical formula, we need to follow some steps:

Step 1: Converting the given masses into moles.

Moles of Calcium = $\frac{\text{Given mass of Calcium}}{\text{Molar mass of Calcium}}=\frac{1.706g}{40g/mole}=0.0426moles$

Moles of Carbon = $\frac{\text{Given mass of Carbon}}{\text{Molar mass of Carbon}}=\frac{0.5116g}{12g/mole}=0.0426moles$

Moles of Nitrogen = $\frac{\text{Given mass of Nitrogen}}{\text{Molar mass of Nitrogen}}=\frac{1.193g}{14g/mole}=0.0852moles$

Step 2: Calculating the mole ratio of the given elements.

For the mole ratio, we divide each value of the moles by the smallest number of moles calculated which is 0.0426 moles.

For Calcium = $\frac{0.0426}{0.0426}=1$

For Carbon = $\frac{0.0426}{0.0426}=1$

For Nitrogen = $\frac{0.0852}{0.0426}=2$

Step 3: Taking the mole ratio as their subscripts.

The ratio of Ca : C : N = 1 : 1 : 2

Hence, the empirical formula for the given compound is $CaCN_2$

A 1.8 g sample of octane C8H18 was burned in a bomb calorimeter and the temperature of 100 g of water increased from 21.36 C to

melomori [17]

Answer:

HEAT OF COMBUSTION PER GRAM OF OCTANE IS 1723.08 J OR 1.72 KJ/G OF HEAT

HEAT OFF COMBUSTION PER MOLE OF OCTANE IS 196.4 KJ/ MOL OF HEAT

Explanation:

Mass of water = 100 g

Change in temperature = 28.78 °C - 21.36°C = 7.42 °C

Heat capcacity of water = 4.18 J/g°C

Mass of octane = 1.8 g

Molar mass of octane = C8H18 = (12 * 8 + 1 * 18) g/mol= 96 + 18 = 114 g/mol

First is to calculate the heat evolved when 100 g of water is used:

Heat = mass * specific heat capacity * change in temperature

Heat = 100 * 4.18 * 7.42

Heat = 3101.56 J

In other words, 3101.56 J of heat was evolved from the reaction of 1.8 g octane with water.

Heat of combustion of octane per gram:

1.8 g of octane produces 3101.56 J of heat

1 g of octane will produce ( 3101.56 * 1 / 1.8)

= 1723.08 J of heat

So, heat of combustion of octane per gram is 1723.08 J

Heat of combustion per mole:

1.8 g of octane produces 3101.56 J of heat

1 mole of octane will produce X J of heat

1 mole of octane = 114 g/ mol of octane

So we have:

1.8 g of octane = 3101.56 J

114 g of octane = (3101.56 * 114 / 1.8) J of heat

= 196 432.13 J

= 196. 4 kJ of heat

The heat of combustion of octane per mole is 196.4 kJ /mol.

Mass of water = 100 g

Change in temperature = 28.78 °C - 21.36°C = 7.42 °C

Heat capcacity of water = 4.18 J/g°C

Mass of octane = 1.8 g

Molar mass of octane = C8H18 = (12 * 8 + 1 * 18) g/mol= 96 + 18 = 114 g/mol

First is to calculate the heat evolved when 100 g of water is used:

Heat = mass * specific heat capacity * change in temperature

Heat = 100 * 4.18 * 7.42

Heat = 3101.56 J
