How do you work out question 1a?

Chemistry

Sliva [168]3 years ago

Answer:

-125 kJ

Explanation:

You calculate the energy required to break all the bonds in the reactants. Then you subtract the energy to break all the bonds in the products.

                     H₂C=CH₂   +    H₂ ⟶    H₃C-CH₃

Bonds:       4C-H + 1C=C     1H-H     6C-H + 1C-C

D/kJ·mol⁻¹:  413       612        436       413      347

The formula relating ΔHrxn and bond dissociation energies (D) is

ΔHrxn = Σ(Dreactants) – Σ(Dproducts)

(Note: This is an exception to the rule. All other thermochemical reactions are “products – reactants”. With bond energies, it’s “reactants – products”. The reason comes from the way we define bond energies.)

<em>For the reactant</em>s:

Σ(Dreactants) = 4 × 413 + 1 × 612 + 1 × 436 = 2700 kJ

<em>For the products:</em>

Σ(Dproducts) = 6 × 413 + 1 × 347 = 2825 kJ

<em>For the system</em> :

ΔHrxn = 2700 - 2825 = -125 kJ

What is the hydrophobic effect? what types of atoms are most likely to be found in portions of molecules or entire molecules tha
HACTEHA [7]
Hydrophobic in simple terms is the "fear" of water.

In chemistry, Ionic salts are technically hydrophilic as they will dissolve in water.
most fats and oils or triesters won't why?

salts are made from ions and their structure contain polar bonds Na+ and Cl-
Fats and oils tend to not have these.

Fats and oils contain many carbon covalent bonds which are non-polar which tend to make the molecule non-polar as a whole, therefore, it can't dissolve in water and is said to be hydrophobic.

Hope that heps :)
NB included a diagram to help.

Why do the deprotonated organic acid (RCO2-) and protonated organic base (RNH3+) go into the aqueous layer?
rodikova [14]

Answer:

The deprotonated organic acid (RCO2-) and protonated organic base (RNH3+) go into the aqueous layer because Organic compounds that are neither acids or bases do not react with either NaOH or HCl and, therefore remain more soluble in the organic solvent and are not extracted.

Which of these elements exhibits chemical behavior similar to that of oxygen? select one:
scoray [572]
Answer:
            Sulfur (Option-C) <span>exhibits chemical behavior similar to that of oxygen.

Explanation:
                   Sulfur has same chemical properties as that of Oxygen because both of them belongs to same group in the periodic table. Also, the similarity of chemical behaviour among the group members is due to same number of electrons in their valence shells.
For examole, the electronic configuration of Oxygen is,

                                        1s</span>², 2s², 2p⁴

There are six valence electrons in the valence shell (i.e. 2) of Oxygen.

Now for Sulfur,
                                        1s², 2s², 2p⁶, 3s², 3p⁴

There are six valence electrons in the valence shell (i.e. 3) of Sulfur.

Therefore, both elements tends to gain 2 electrons in a reaction and form O⁻² and S⁻² respectively.

What are the causes and consequences of climate change
Sati [7]

Answer: Humans are increasingly influencing the climate and the earth's temperature by burning fossil fuels, cutting down forests and farming livestock.

Explanation: This adds enormous amounts of greenhouse gases to those naturally occurring in the atmosphere, increasing the greenhouse effect and global warming.
