Answer:

shear walls, cross braces, diaphragms, and moment-resisting frames are central to reinforcing a building. Shear walls are a useful building technology that helps to transfer earthquake forces. Made of panels, these walls help a building keep its shape during movement.

Answer: At some point in your chemistry education, you may have been introduced to the song “The Elements in which Tom Lehrer does a rapid

fire musical rendition of all the elements' names. Like me, you may even have been offered the opportunity to memorize this song for extra credit. If so, it’s possible that you still remember the names of all the elements, which is an impressive feat—not to mention a fun trick to pull out at parties.

How to draw Hess' Cycle for this question ?

NISA [10]

Answer : The standard enthalpy of formation of ethylene is, 51.8 kJ/mole

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.

The formation reaction of $C_2H_4$ will be,

$2C(s)+2H_2(g)\rightarrow C_2H_4(g)$ $\Delta H_{formation}=?$

The intermediate balanced chemical reaction will be,

(1) $C_2H_4(g)+3O_2(g)\rightarrow 2CO_2(g)+2H_2O(l)$ $\Delta H_1=-1411kJ/mole$

(2) $C(s)+O_2(g)\rightarrow CO_2(g)$ $\Delta H_2=-393.7kJ/mole$

(3) $H_2(g)+\frac{1}{2}O_2(g)\rightarrow H_2O(l)$ $\Delta H_3=-285.9kJ/mole$

Now we will reverse the reaction 1, multiply reaction 2 and 3 by 2 then adding all the equations, we get :

(1) $2CO_2(g)+2H_2O(l)\rightarrow C_2H_4(g)+3O_2(g)$ $\Delta H_1=+1411kJ/mole$

(2) $2C(s)+2O_2(g)\rightarrow 2CO_2(g)$ $\Delta H_2=2\times (-393.7kJ/mole)=-787.4kJ/mole$

(3) $2H_2(g)+2O_2(g)\rightarrow 2H_2O(l)$ $\Delta H_3=2\times (-285.9kJ/mole)=-571.8kJ/mole$

The expression for enthalpy of formation of $C_2H_4$ will be,

$\Delta H_{formation}=\Delta H_1+\Delta H_2+\Delta H_3$

$\Delta H=(+1411kJ/mole)+(-787.4kJ/mole)+(-571.8kJ/mole)$

$\Delta H=51.8kJ/mole$

Therefore, the standard enthalpy of formation of ethylene is, 51.8 kJ/mole

An unbalanced equation is shown. In this reaction, 200.0 g of FeS2 is burned in 100.0 g of oxygen, and 55.00 g of Fe2O3 is produ

Crazy boy [7]

<span>4FeS2 + 11O2 = 2Fe2O3 + 8SO2</span>

Percent yield is calculated as the actual yield divided by the theoretical yield multiplied by 100.

Actual yield = 55 g ( 1 mol / 159.69 g ) = 0.34 mol Fe2O3

To find for the theoretical yield, we first determine the limiting reactant.

100 g O2 ( 1 mol / 32 g) = 3.13 mol O2
200 g FeS2 (1 mol / 119.98g) = 1.67 mol FeS2

Therefore, the limiting reactant is O2.

Theoretical yield = 3.13 mol O2 ( 2 mol Fe2O3 / 11 mol O2 ) = 0.57 mol Fe2O3

Percent yield = (0.34 mol / 0.57 mol) x 100 = 59.74%
