The formation of carbondioxide is given by equation as

C + O2 ----> CO2(g)

As per balanced equation one mole of carbondioxide is obtained from one mole of carbon

if 44 g of CO2 is formed it means it contains 12 g of carbon

if 1g of CO2 is formed it means it contains 12/44 g of carbon

if 0.528g of CO2 is formed it means it contains = 12 X 0.528 / 44 g of carbon

                                                                           = 0.144g of carbon

Similarly for water

H2 + 0.5O2 ---> H2O

so one mole of water is obtained from one mole of H2

if 18g of water is formed it means 2g H2 is present

if 1g of water is formed it means 2/18 g of H2 is present

if 0.216g of water if formed it means 2 X 0.216 / 18g of H2 is present = 0.024g of Hydrogen

In glucose we have Carbon , Hydrogen and oxygen

As given the total mass of sample = 0.360g

Mass of carbon = 0.144 , moles of carbon = 0.144 / 12 = 0.012

Mass of hydrogen = 0.024 , moles of hydrogen = 0.024 /1 = 0.024

mass of oxygen = 0.360 - (0.144+0.024) = 0.192

Moles of oxygen = 0.192 / 16 = 0.012

So mole ratio of C : H : O = 0.012 : 0.024 : 0.012 = 1:2:1

Empirical formula = CH2O

Two solutions namely, 500 ml of 0.50 m hcl and 500 ml of 0.50 m naoh at the same temperature of 21.6 are mixed in a constant-pre
weeeeeb [17]

24.6 ℃

<h3>Explanation</h3>

Hydrochloric acid and sodium hydroxide reacts by the following equation:

\text{HCl} \; (aq) + \text{NaOH} \; (aq) \to \text{NaCl} \; (aq) + \text{H}_2\text{O} \; (aq)

which is equivalent to

\text{H}^{+} \; (aq) + \text{OH}^{-} \; (aq) \to \text{H}_2\text{O}\; (l)

The question states that the second equation has an enthalpy, or "heat", of neutralization of -56.2 \; \text{kJ}. Thus the combination of every mole of hydrogen ions and hydroxide ions in solution would produce 56.2 \; \text{kJ} or 56.2 \times 10^{3}\; \text{J} of energy.

500 milliliter of a 0.50 mol per liter "M" solution contains 0.25 moles of the solute. There are thus 0.25 moles of hydrogen ions and hydroxide ions in the two 0.500 milliliter solutions, respectively. They would combine to release 0.25 \times 56.2 \times 10^{3} = 1.405 \times 10^{4} \; \text{J} of energy.

Both the solution and the calorimeter absorb energy released in this neutralization reaction. Their temperature change is dependent on the heat capacity <em>C</em> of the two objects, combined.

The question has given the heat capacity of the calorimeter directly.

The heat capacity (the one without mass in the unit) of water is to be calculated from its mass and <em>specific</em> heat.

The calorimeter contains 1.00 liters or 1.00 \times 10^{3} \; \text{ml} of the 1.0 gram per milliliter solution. Accordingly, it would have a mass of 1.00 \times 10^{3} \; \text{g}.

The solution has a specific heat of 4.184 \; \text{J} \cdot \text{g}^{-1} \cdot \text{K}^{-1}. The solution thus have a heat capacity of 4.184 \times 1.00 \times 10^{3} = 4.184 \times 10^{3} \; \text{J} \cdot\text{K}^{-1}. Note that one degree Kelvins K is equivalent to one degree celsius ℃ in temperature change measurements.

The calorimeter-solution system thus has a heat capacity of 4.634 \times 10^{3} \; \text{J} \cdot \text{K}^{-1}, meaning that its temperature would rise by 1 degree celsius on the absorption of 4.634 × 10³ joules of energy. 1.405 \times 10^{4} \; \text{J} are available from the reaction. Thus, the temperature of the system shall have risen by 3.03 degrees celsius to 24.6 degrees celsius by the end of the reaction.

How can you tell what is what and how that what affects what
VLD [36.1K]

Answer:

Hi, this is a super vague question, so its pretty confusing to answer.  Could you please be a bit more specific?

If you are referring to chemistry, then how you tell "what is what" is by the molecular makeup of an element (Periodic table), and "how that..affects what", chemical reactions can occur between elements
