Answer:

The answer to your question is:

2.- C₁₂ H₂₄ O₁₂

Explanation:

2.-

Data

CH2O

molar mass = 360.3 g/mol

Molar mass of CH2O = 12 + 2 + 16 = 30g

Divide molar mass given by molar mass obtain

                   

                           x = 360.3/30

                          x = 12

Finally

                      C₁₂ H₂₄ O₁₂

Molar mass = (12 x 12) + (24 x 1) + (16 x 12) = 144 + 24 + 192 = 360 g

3.- First we need to write the complete equation of the reaction and balanced it.

Then, we need to convert the mass given to moles of each compound.

After that, we need used rule of three calculate the amount of products based on the moles of reactants given.

Finally, convert the moles to grams.

4.-

a.- It is a relation between the mass of product obtain in an experiment and the mass of a product obtain theoretically times 100.

b.-

35 g of Mg reacted with excess O2

percent yield = 90%

Actual yield = ?

Formula

Percent yield = (actual yield/theoretical yield) x 100

Equation  

                       2Mg  + O2 ⇒ 2MgO

                      48.62 g of Mg ----------------- 80.62 g of MgO

                      35g                  ------------------  x

                     x = 58 g of MgO     (Theoretical yield)

Theoretical yield = 58 g of MgO

Actual yield = percent yield x theoretical yield / 100

                    = 90 x 58 / 100

                   = 52. 23 g

<h3>Answer:</h3>

4.3 miles

<h3>Explanation:</h3>

We are given;

Distance of 22,704 feet

We are required to determine the number of miles in 22,704 feet

  • To convert one unit to another we use conversion factors
  • Therefore, we need to know the suitable conversion factor.
  • That is, 1 mile/5,280 feet
  • Thus, to determine the number of miles we multiply the number of feet with the conversion factor.

That is;

= 22,704 feet × 1 mile/5,280 feet

= 4.3 miles

Therefore, there are 4.3 miles in 22,704 feet

There are two steps in the usual industrial preparation of acrylic acid, the immediate precursor of several useful plastics. In
KIM [24]

Answer:

ΔH = -470.4kJ

Explanation:

It is possible to sum 2 or more reactions to obtain the ΔH of the reaction you want to study (Hess's law). Using the reactions:

1. CaC2(s) + 2H2O(l) → C2H2(g) + Ca(OH)2(s)ΔH = −414kJ

2. 6C2H2(g) + 3CO2(g) + 4H2O(g) → 5CH2CHCO2H(g)ΔH = 132kJ

6 times the reaction 1.

6CaC2(s) + 12H2O(l) → 6C2H2(g) + 6Ca(OH)2(s)ΔH = −414kJ*6 = -2484kJ

This reaction + 2:

6CaC2(s) + 3CO2(g) + 16H2O(l) →  + 6Ca(OH)2(s) + 5CH2CHCO2H(g) ΔH = -2484kJ + 132kJ = -2352kJ

As we want to calculate the net change enthalpy in the formation of just 1 mole of acrylic acid we need to divide this last reaction in 5:

6/5CaC2(s) + 3/5CO2(g) + 16/5H2O(l) →  + 6/5Ca(OH)2(s) + CH2CHCO2H(g) ΔH = -2352kJ / 5

<h3>ΔH = -470.4kJ</h3>

Assume that you have a cylinder with a movable piston. What would happen to the gas pressure inside the cylinder if you do the f
pishuonlain [190]

Answer:

A. The pressure will increase 4 times. P₂ = 4 P₁

B. The pressure will decrease to half its value. P₂ = 0.5 P₁

C. The pressure will decrease to half its value. P₂ = 0.5 P₁

Explanation:

Initially, we have n₁ moles of a gas that occupy a volume V₁ at temperature T₁ and pressure P₁.

<em>What would happen to the gas pressure inside the cylinder if you do the following?</em>

<em />

<em>Part A: Decrease the volume to one-fourth the original volume while holding the temperature constant. Express your answer in terms of the variable P initial.</em>

V₂ = 0.25 V₁. According to Boyle's law,

P₁ . V₁ = P₂ . V₂

P₁ . V₁ = P₂ . 0.25 V₁

P₁ = P₂ . 0.25

P₂ = 4 P₁

<em>Part B: Reduce the Kelvin temperature to half its original value while holding the volume constant. Express your answer in terms of the variable P initial.</em>

T₂ = 0.5 T₁. According to Gay-Lussac's law,

\frac{P_{1}}{T_{1}} =\frac{P_{2}}{T_{2}}\\\frac{P_{1}}{T_{1}} =\frac{P_{2}}{0.5T_{1}}\\\\P_{2}=0.5P_{1}

<em>Part C: Reduce the amount of gas to half while keeping the volume and temperature constant. Express your answer in terms of the variable P initial.</em>

n₂ = 0.5 n₁.

P₁ in terms of the ideal gas equation is:

P_{1}=\frac{n_{1}.R.T_{1}}{V_{1}}

P₂ in terms of the ideal gas equation is:

P_{2}=\frac{n_{2}.R.T_{1}}{V_{1}}=\frac{0.5n_{1}.R.T_{1}}{V_{1}}=0.5P_{1}
