Suppose that coal of density 1.5 g/cm^3 is pure carbon. (It is, in fact, much more complicated, but this is a reasonable first a

pproximation.) The combustion of carbon is described by the equation:
C(s) + O2(g) -----> CO2(g) ∆H° = −394 kJ
What is the value of q (heat) when a lump of coal of size 5.6 cm x 5.1 cm x 4.6 cm is burned?
Answer in units of kJ.

Answer:

q = -6464.9 kJ

Explanation:

We are given that the heat of combustion is  ∆H° = −394 kJ per mol of carbon.Therefore what we need to do is calculate how many moles of C are in the lump of coal by finding its mass since the density is given.

vol = 5.6 cm x 5.1 cm x 4.6 cm = 131.38 cm³

m = d x v = 1.5 g/cm³ x 131.38 cm³ = 197.06 g

mol C = m/MW = 197.06 g/ 12.01g/mol = 16.41 mol

q =  −394 kJ /mol C x 16.41 mol C = -6464.9 kJ

1. If 500 ML of a 3 L sample of 0.20 M sodium chloride solution is spilled, what is the concentration of the remaining solution?
photoshop1234 [79]
D. 0.2 M

The concentration of a solution is basically the ratio of the solute present to the solvent in the solution. This is an intrinsic property, independent of the amount of solution that is present. A similar example is that of density. No matter the size of a sample, the density and concentration of that sample remain constant.
