Which statement about AHf is true?

Chemistry
1 answer:
Pachacha [2.7K]3 years ago
3 0

Answer:

  • <u><em>It is positive when the bonds of the product store more energy than those of the reactants.</em></u>

Explanation:

The <em>standard enthalpy of formation</em>, <em>ΔHf</em>, is defined as the energy required to form 1 mole of a substance from its contituent elements under standard conditions of pressure and temperature.

Then, per defintion, when the elements are already at their standard states, there is not energy involved to form them from that very state; this is, the standard enthalpy of formation of the elements in their standard states is zero.

It is not zero for the compounds in its standard state, because energy should be released or absorbed to form the compounds from their consituent elements. Thus, the first choice is false.

When the bonds of the products store more energy than the those of the reactants, the difference is:

  • ΔHf =  ΔHf products - ΔHf reactants > 0, meaning that ΔHf is positive. Hence, the second statement is true.

Third is false because forming the compounds may require to use (absorb) or release (produce) energy, which means that ΔHf could be positive or negative.

Fourth statement is false, because the standard state of many elements is not liquid. For example, it is required to supply energy to iron to make it liquid. Thus, the enthalpy of formation of iron in liquid state is not zero.

Ethyl butyrate, CH3CH2CH2CO2CH2CH3, is an artificial fruit flavor commonly used in the food industry for such flavors as orange
SIZIF [17.4K]

Answer:

A. 10.0 grams of ethyl butyrate would be synthesized.

B. 57.5% was the percent yield.

C. 7.80 grams of ethyl butyrate would be produced from 7.60 g of butanoic acid.

Explanation:

CH_3CH_2CH_2CO_2H(l)+CH_2CH_3OH(l)+H^+\rightarrow CH_3CH_2CH_2CO_2CH_2CH_3(l)+H_2O(l)

A

Moles of butanoic acid = \frac{7.60 g}{88 g/mol}=0.08636 mol

According to reaction ,1 mole of butanoic acid gives 1 mol of ethyl butyrate,then 0.08636 mol of butanoic acid will give :

\frac{1}{1}\times 0.08636 mol=0.08636 mol of ethyl butyrate

Mass of 0.08636 moles of ethyl butyrate =

0.08636 mol × 116 g/mol = 10.0 g

Theoretical yield = 10.0 g

Experimental yield = ?

Percentage yield of the reaction = 100%

Yield\%=\frac{\text{Experimental yield}}{\text{Theoretical yield}}\times 100

100\%=\frac{\text{Experimental yield}}{10.0 g}\times 100

Experimental yield = 10.0 g

10.0 grams of ethyl butyrate would be synthesized.

B

Theoretical yield of ethyl butyrate  = 10.0 g

Experimental yield ethyl butyrate = 5.75 g

Percentage yield of the reaction = ?

Yield\%=\frac{\text{Experimental yield}}{\text{Theoretical yield}}\times 100

=\frac{5.75 g}{10.0 g}\times 100=57.5\%

57.5% was the percent yield.

C

Moles of butanoic acid = \frac{7.60 g}{88 g/mol}=0.08636 mol

According to reaction ,1 mole of butanoic acid gives 1 mol of ethyl butyrate,then 0.08636 mol of butanoic acid will give :

\frac{1}{1}\times 0.08636 mol=0.08636 mol of ethyl butyrate

Mass of 0.08636 moles of ethyl butyrate =

0.08636 mol × 116 g/mol = 10.0 g

Theoretical yield = 10.0 g

Experimental yield = ?

Percentage yield of the reaction = 78.0%

Yield\%=\frac{\text{Experimental yield}}{\text{Theoretical yield}}\times 100

78.0\%=\frac{\text{Experimental yield}}{10.0 g}\times 100

Experimental yield = 7.80 g

7.80 grams of ethyl butyrate would be produced from 7.60 g of butanoic acid.

What is the difference between the number of electrons in an atom of selenium,Se, and the number of electrons in an atom of alum
aliina [53]

Answer:

A)21

Explanation:

To know the difference between the number of electrons in the two atoms, we must first know the number of electrons in the atoms.

For Selenium, Se, we have 34 electrons. The element is in group 6 on the periodic table.

Aluminum on the other hand is in the Boron family with a total of 13 electrons.

The difference,( 34-13) electrons gives a total of 21 electrons
