Answer:

<u>For methanol:</u> Heat of combustion = -22.6 kJ / 0.0312 moles = -724.3590 kJ/mol (negative sign signifies release of heat)

<u>For ethanol: </u>Heat of combustion = -29.7 kJ / 0.0217 moles = -1368.6636 kJ/mol (negative sign signifies release of heat)

<u>For propanol: </u>Heat of combustion = -33.4 kJ / 0.0166 moles = -2012.0482 kJ/mol (negative sign signifies release of heat)

Explanation:

Given:

Mass of Methanol = 1.0 g

Mass of ethanol = 1.00 g

Mass of n-propanol = 1.00 g

<u>For methanol:</u>

2 CH₃OH + 3 O₂ ----> 2 CO₂ + 4 H₂O, ∆H₀ = -22.6 kJ/g  (negative sign signifies release of heat)

1 g of methanol on combustion gives 22.6 kJ of energy

Calculation of moles of methanol:

moles=\frac{Mass(m)}{Molar\ mass (M)}

Molar mass of methanol = 32.04 g/mol

Thus moles of methanol = 1 g/ (32.04 g/mol) = 0.0312 moles

Hence energy in kJ/mol:

<u>Heat of combustion = -22.6 kJ / 0.0312 moles = -724.3590 kJ/mol (negative sign signifies release of heat)</u>

<u></u>

<u>For ethanol:</u>

C₂H₅OH + 3 O₂ ----> 2 CO₂ + 3 H₂O, ∆H₀ = -29.7 kJ/g  (negative sign signifies release of heat)

1 g of ethanol on combustion gives 29.7 kJ of energy

Calculation of moles of ethanol:

moles=\frac{Mass(m)}{Molar\ mass (M)}

Molar mass of ethanol = 46.07 g/mol

Thus moles of ethanol = 1 g/ (46.07 g/mol) = 0.0217 moles

Hence energy in kJ/mol:

<u>Heat of combustion = -29.7 kJ / 0.0217 moles = -1368.6636 kJ/mol (negative sign signifies release of heat)</u>

<u></u>

<u>For propanol:</u>

2 C₃H₇OH + 9 O₂ ----> 6 CO₂ + 8 H₂O, ∆H₀ = -33.4 kJ/g , (negative sign signifies release of heat)

1 g of methanol on combustion gives 33.4 kJ of energy

Calculation of moles of methanol:

moles=\frac{Mass(m)}{Molar\ mass (M)}

Molar mass of methanol = 60.09 g/mol

Thus moles of methanol = 1 g/ (60.09 g/mol) = 0.0166 moles

Hence energy in kJ/mol:

<u>Heat of combustion = -33.4 kJ / 0.0166 moles = -2012.0482 kJ/mol (negative sign signifies release of heat)</u>

2Pb(s) + O2(aq) + 4H+(aq) → 2H2O(l) + 2Pb2+(aq)
defon

Answer:

The answer to your question is 0.269 g of Pb

Explanation:

Data

Lead solution = 0.000013 M

Volume = 100 L

mass = 0.269 g

atomic mass Pb = 207.2 g

Chemical reaction

                        2Pb(s) + O₂(aq) + 4H⁺(aq) → 2H₂O(l) + 2Pb₂⁺(aq)

Process

1.- Calculate the mass of Pb in solution

Formula

Molarity = \frac{number of moles}{volume}

Solve for number of moles

Number of moles = Volume x Molarity

Substitution

Number of moles = 100 x 0.000013

Number of moles = 0.0013

2.- Calculate the mass of Pb formed.

                       207.2 g of Pb ----------------- 1 mol

                             x g             ----------------- 0.0013 moles

                        x = (0.0013 x 207.2) / 1

                        x = 0.269 g of Pb

Why were colonists in new england angry at king james 2 abd governor edmund andros of new england?​
Pani-rosa [81]

His strict imposition of autocratic rule was supported by his appointment by the King, who otherwise was not directly involved.

Explanation:

Andros’ imposition of Episcopalian worship in the Old South Meeting house, Boston his vigorous enforcement of the Navigation Acts.

He had earned the enmity of the local populace by enforcing the restrictive Navigation Acts.

He had infuriated Puritans in Boston by promoting the Church of England, which was rejected by many Nonconformist New England colonists.

When news of the overthrow of James II (1688) reached Boston, the colonists revolted, deposing Andros and imprisoning him.

His requirement that landholders take out new land patents and his limitations upon town meetings and rights of local taxation all aroused sharp resentment in colonial America.
