Answer

when a space shuttle traveled through outer space that time it is far away from the gravity of any planet, star or moon. It means gravitational force acting on the space shuttle is zero(g=0)

We know that weight of space shuttle= $m\times g$

here m- mass of space shuttle

and g=gravity

but gravity in outer space= 0

therefore,

weight of space shuttle in outer space=0

<h2>Answer: C) 1s²2s²2p⁶</h2>

<h3>Explanation:</h3>

A noble gas has 8 electrons between the p and s orbitals of the outer shell. Helium is the exception because it only has two electrons.

<h3> ∴ 1s²2s²2p⁶ is the noble gas (neon)</h3>

please hurry! If 3.87g of powdered aluminum oxide is placed in a container containing 5.67g of water, what is the limiting react

VikaD [51]

Answer:

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Mass of aluminium oxide = 3.87g

Mass of water = 5.67g

Unknown:

Limiting reactant = ?

Solution:

The limiting reactant is the reactant in short supply in a chemical reaction. We need to first write the chemical equation and convert the masses given to the number of moles.

Using the number of moles, we can ascertain the limiting reactants;

Al₂O₃ + 3H₂O → 2Al(OH)₃

Number of moles;

Number of moles = $\frac{mass}{molar mass}$

molar mass of Al₂O₃ = (2x27) + 3(16) = 102g/mole

number of moles = $\frac{3.87}{102}$ = 0.04mole

molar mass of H₂O = 2(1) + 16 = 18g/mole

number of moles = $\frac{5.67}{18}$ = 0.32mole

From the reaction equation;

1 mole of Al₂O₃ reacted with 3 moles of H₂O

0.04 mole of Al₂O₃ will react with 3 x 0.04 mole = 0.12 mole of H₂O

But we were given 0.32 mole of H₂O and this is in excess of amount required.

This shows that Al₂O₃ is the limiting reactant

CO2(g)+CCl4(g)⇌2COCl2(g) Calculate ΔG for this reaction at 25 ∘C under these conditions: PCO2PCCl4PCOCl2===0.140 atm0.185 atm0.7

padilas [110]

<u>Answer:</u> The $\Delta G$ for the reaction is 54.425 kJ/mol

<u>Explanation:</u>

For the given balanced chemical equation:

$CO_2(g)+CCl_4(g)\rightleftharpoons 2COCl_2(g)$

We are given:

$\Delta G^o_f_{CO_2}=-394.4kJ/mol\\\Delta G^o_f_{CCl_4}=-62.3kJ/mol\\\Delta G^o_f_{COCl_2}=-204.9kJ/mol$

To calculate $\Delta G^o_{rxn}$ for the reaction, we use the equation:

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

For the given equation:

$\Delta G^o_{rxn}=[(2\times \Delta G^o_f_{(COCl_2)})]-[(1\times \Delta G^o_f_{(CO_2)})+(1\times \Delta G^o_f_{(CCl_4)})]$

Putting values in above equation, we get:

$\Delta G^o_{rxn}=[(2\times (-204.9))-((1\times (-394.4))+(1\times (-62.3)))]\\\Delta G^o_{rxn}=46.9kJ=46900J$

Conversion factor used = 1 kJ = 1000 J

The expression of $K_p$ for the given reaction:

$K_p=\frac{(p_{COCl_2})^2}{p_{CO_2}\times p_{CCl_4}}$

We are given:

$p_{COCl_2}=0.735atm\\p_{CO_2}=0.140atm\\p_{CCl_4}=0.185atm$

Putting values in above equation, we get:

$K_p=\frac{(0.735)^2}{0.410\times 0.185}\\\\K_p=20.85$

To calculate the gibbs free energy of the reaction, we use the equation:

$\Delta G=\Delta G^o+RT\ln K_p$

where,

$\Delta G$ = Gibbs' free energy of the reaction = ?

$\Delta G^o$ = Standard gibbs' free energy change of the reaction = 46900 J

R = Gas constant = $8.314J/K mol$

T = Temperature = $25^oC=[25+273]K=298K$

$K_p$ = equilibrium constant in terms of partial pressure = 20.85

Putting values in above equation, we get:

$\Delta G=46900J+(8.314J/K.mol\times 298K\times \ln(20.85))\\\\\Delta G=54425.26J/mol=54.425kJ/mol$

Hence, the $\Delta G$ for the reaction is 54.425 kJ/mol

A bomb calorimetric experiment was run to determine the enthalpy of combustion of ethanol. The reaction is The bomb had a heat c

gulaghasi [49]

Answer:

The enthalpy of combustion of ethanol in kJ/mol is -1419.58 kJ/mol.

Explanation:

The heat absorbed by the bomb and water is equal to the product of the heat capacity and the temperature change. Working with this equation, and assuming no heat is lost to the surroundings, we write :

qcal= Ccal × ΔT= 490 J/K × 276.7 K= <u>135,583 J</u> = 135.58 kJ

Note we expressed the temperature change in K, because the heat capacity is written in K.

<u> Now that we have the heat of combustion, we need to calculate the molar heat. </u>

Because qsystem = qrxn + qcal and qrxn = -qcal, the heat change of the reaction is -135.58 kJ.

This is the heat released by the combustion of 4.40 g of ethanol ; therefore, we can write the <u>conversion factor as 135.58 kJ/ 4.40 g</u>.

The molar mass of ethanol is 46.07 g, so the heat of combustion of 1 mole of ethanol is :

molar heat of combustion= -135.58 kJ/4.40 g x 46.07 g/ 1 mol= -1419.58 kJ/mol

Therefore, the enthalpy of combustion of ethanol in kJ/mol is -1419.58 kJ/mol.
