Answer:

Entropy increases

Explanation:

Entropy (S) is a measure of the degree of disorder. For a given substance - say water - across phases the following is true ...

S(ice) < S(water) << S(steam)

For a chemical process, entropy changes can be related to increasing or decreasing molar volumes of gas from reactant side of equation to product side of equation. That is ...

if molar volumes of gas increase, then entropy increases, and

if molar volumes of gas decrease, then entropy decreases.

For the reaction 2KClO₃(s) => 2KCl(s) + 3O₂(g)

molar volumes of gas => 0Vm* 0Vm 3Vm

*molar volumes (Vm) apply only to gas phase substances. Solids and liquids do not have molar volume.

Since the reaction produces 3 molar volumes of O₂(g) product vs 0 molar volumes of reactant, then the reaction is showing an increase in molar volumes of gas phase substances and its entropy is therefore increasing.

When 1.2383 g of an organic iron compound containing Fe, C, H, and O was burned in O2, 2.3162 g of CO2 and 0.66285 g of H2O were

uysha [10]

Answer:

$\boxed{\text{C$_{15}$H$_{21}$FeO$_{6}$}}$

Explanation:

Let's call the unknown compound X.

1. Calculate the mass of each element in 1.23383 g of X.

(a) Mass of C

$\text{Mass of C} = \text{2.3162 g } \text{CO}_{2}\times \dfrac{\text{12.01 g C}}{\text{44.01 g }\text{CO}_{2}}= \text{0.632 07 g C}$

(b) Mass of H

$\text{Mass of H} = \text{0.66285 g }\text{H$_{2}$O}\times \dfrac{\text{2.016 g H}}{\text{18.02 g } \text{{H$_{2}$O}}} = \text{0.074 157 g H}$

(c)Mass of Fe

(i)In 0.4131g of X

$\text{Mass of Fe} = \text{0.093 33 g Fe$_{2}$O$_{3}$}\times \dfrac{\text{111.69 g Fe}}{\text{159.69 g g Fe$_{2}$O$_{3}$}} = \text{0.065 277 g Fe}$

(ii) In 1.2383 g of X

$\text{Mass of Fe} = \text{0.065277 g Fe}\times \dfrac{1.2383}{0.4131} = \text{0.195 67 g Fe}$

(d)Mass of O

Mass of O = 1.2383 - 0.632 07 - 0.074 157 - 0.195 67 = 0.336 40 g

2. Calculate the moles of each element

$\text{Moles of C = 0.63207 g C}\times\dfrac{\text{1 mol C}}{\text{12.01 g C }} = \text{0.052 629 mol C}\\\\\text{Moles of H = 0.074157 g H} \times \dfrac{\text{1 mol H}}{\text{1.008 g H}} = \text{0.073 568 mol H}\\\\\text{Moles of Fe = 0.195 67 g Fe} \times \dfrac{\text{1 mol Fe}}{\text{55.845 g Fe}} = \text{0.003 5038 mol Fe}\\\\\text{Moles of O = 0.336 40} \times \dfrac{\text{1 mol O}}{\text{16.00 g O}} = \text{0.021 025 mol O}$

3. Calculate the molar ratios

Divide all moles by the smallest number of moles.

$\text{C: } \dfrac{0.052629}{0.003 5038}= 15.021\\\\\text{H: } \dfrac{0.073568}{0.003 5038} = 20.997\\\\\text{Fe: } \dfrac{0.003 5038}{0.003 5038} = 1\\\\\text{O: } \dfrac{0.021025}{0.003 5038} = 6.0006$

4. Round the ratios to the nearest integer

C:H:O:Fe = 15:21:1:6

5. Write the empirical formula

$\text{The empirical formula is } \boxed{\textbf{C$_{15}$H$_{21}$FeO$_{6}$}}$

One reaction involved in the conversion of iron ore to the metal is FeO(s) + CO(g) → Fe(s) + CO2(g) Use Hess’s Law to calculate

Ugo [173]

Answer:

$\delta H_{rxn} = -66.0 \ kJ/mole$

Explanation:

Given that:

$3FeO_3_{(s)}+CO_{(g)} \to 2Fe_3O_4_{(s)} +CO_{2(g)} \ \ \delta H = -47.0 \ kJ/mole -- equation (1) \\ \\ \\ Fe_2O_3_{(s)} +3CO_{(g)} \to 2FE_{(s)} + 3CO_{2(g)} \ \ \delta H = -25.0 \ kJ/mole -- equation (2) \\ \\ \\ Fe_3O_4_{(s)} + CO_{(g)} \to 3FeO_{(s)} + CO_{2(g)} \ \delta H = 19.0 \ kJ/mole -- equation (3)$

From equation (3) , multiplying (-1) with equation (3) and interchanging reactant with the product side; we have:

$3FeO_{(s)} + CO_{2(g)} \to Fe_3O_4_{(s)} + CO_{(g)} \ \delta H = -19.0 \ kJ/mole -- equation (4)$

Multiplying (2) with equation (4) ; we have:

$6FeO_{(s)} + 2CO_{2(g)} \to 2Fe_3O_4_{(s)} + 2CO_{(g)} \ \delta H = -38.0 \ kJ/mole -- equation (5)$

From equation (1) ; multiplying (-1) with equation (1); we have:

$2Fe_3O_4_{(s)} +CO_{2(g)} \to 3FeO_3_{(s)}+CO_{(g)} \ \ \delta H = 47.0 \ kJ/mole -- equation (6)$

From equation (2); multiplying (3) with equation (2); we have:

$3 Fe_2O_3_{(s)} +9CO_{(g)} \to 6FE_{(s)} + 9CO_{2(g)} \ \ \delta H = -75.0 \ kJ/mole -- equation (7)$

Now; Adding up equation (5), (6) & (7) ; we get:

$6FeO_{(s)} + 2CO_{2(g)} \to 2Fe_3O_4_{(s)} + 2CO_{(g)} \ \delta H = -38.0 \ kJ/mole -- equation (5)$

$2Fe_3O_4_{(s)} +CO_{2(g)} \to 3FeO_3_{(s)}+CO_{(g)} \ \ \delta H = 47.0 \ kJ/mole -- equation (6)$

$3 Fe_2O_3_{(s)} +9CO_{(g)} \to 6FE_{(s)} + 9CO_{2(g)} \ \ \delta H = -75.0 \ kJ/mole -- equation (7)$

$FeO \ \ \ + \ \ \ CO \ \ \to \ \ \ \ Fe_{(s)} + \ \ CO_{2(g)} \ \ \ \delta H = - 66.0 \ kJ/mole$

$\delta H_{rxn} = \delta H_1 + \delta H_2 + \delta H_3$ (According to Hess Law)

$\delta H_{rxn} = (-38.0 + 47.0 + (-75.0)) \ kJ/mole$

$\delta H_{rxn} = -66.0 \ kJ/mole$

How can you determine which bond in a structure is more polar without using an electronegativity table?

UkoKoshka [18]

To know this you pretty much do have to kind of memorize a few electronegativities. I don't recall ever getting a table of electronegativities on an exam.
From the structure, you have:

I remember the following electronegativities most because they are fairly patterned:
EN
H
=
2.1
EN
C
=
2.5
EN
N
=
3.0
EN
O
=
3.5
EN
F
=
4.0
EN
Cl
=
3.5
Notice how carbon through fluorine go in increments of
~
0.5
. I believe Pauling made it that way when he determined electronegativities in the '30s.
Δ
EN
C
−
Cl
=
1.0
Δ
EN
C
−
H
=
0.4
Δ
EN
C
−
C
=
0.0
Δ
EN
C
−
O
=
1.0
Δ
EN
O
−
H
=
1.4
So naturally, with the greatest electronegativity difference of
4.0
−
2.5
=
1.5
, the
C
−
F
bond is most polar, i.e. that bond's electron distribution is the most drawn towards the more electronegative compound as compared to the rest.
When the electron distribution is polarized and drawn towards a more electronegative atom, the less electronegative atom has to move inwards because its nucleus was previously favorably attracted to the electrons from the other atom.
That means generally, the greater the electronegativity difference between two atoms is, the shorter you can expect the bond to be, insofar as the electronegative atom is the same size as another comparable electronegative atom.
However, examining actual data, we would see that on average, in conditions without other bond polarizations occuring:
r
C
−
Cl
≈
177 pm
r
C
−
C
≈
154 pm
r
C
−
O
≈
143 pm
r
C
−
F
≈
135 pm
r
C
−
H
≈
109 pm
r
O
−
H
≈
96 pm
So it is not necessarily the least electronegativity difference that gives the longest bond.
Therefore, you cannot simply consider electronegativity. Examining the radii of the atoms, you should notice that chlorine is the biggest atom in the compound.
r
Cl
≈
79 pm
r
C
≈
70 pm
r
H
≈
53 pm
r
O
≈
60 pm
So assuming the answer is truly
C
−
C
, what would have to hold true is that:
The
C
−
F
bond polarization makes the carbon more electropositive (which is true).
The now more electropositive carbon wishes to attract bonding pairs from chlorine closer, thereby shortening the
C
−
Cl
bond, and potentially the
C
−
H
bond (which is probably true).
The shortening of the
C
−
Cl
bond is somehow enough to be shorter than the
C
−
C
bond (this is debatable).
