Hydrogenation reactions, in which H2 and an "unsaturated" organic compound combine, are used in the food, fuel, and polymer indu

stries. In the simplest case, ethene (C2H4) and H2 form ethane (C2H6). If 140 kJ is given off per mole of C2H4 reacting, How much heat (in MJ) is released when 12 kg of C2H6 forms?

<u>Answer:</u> The amount of heat released is 56 MJ.

<u>Explanation:</u>

To calculate the number of moles, we use the equation:

\text{Number of moles}=\frac{\text{Given mass}}{\text{Molar mass}}  

Given mass of C_2H_6 = 12 kg = 12000 g    (Conversion factor: 1 kg = 1000 g)

Molar mass of C_2H_6 = 30 g/mol

Putting values in above equation, we get:

\text{Moles of }C_2H_6=\frac{12000g}{30g/mol}=400mol

The chemical reaction for hydrogenation of ethene follows the equation:

C_2H_4+H_2\rightarrow C_2H_6

By Stoichiometry of the reaction:

When 1 mole of ethane releases 140 kJ of heat.

So, 400 moles of ethane will release = \frac{140}{1}\times 400=56000kJ of heat.

Converting this into Mega joules, using the conversion factor:

1 MJ = 1000 kJ

So, \Rightarrow 56000kJ\times (\frac{1MJ}{1000kJ})=56MJ

Hence, the amount of heat released is 56 MJ.

(a) a 0.2 m potassium hydroxide solution is titrated with a 0.1 m nitric acid solution. (i) balanced equation: (ii)what would be
Stells [14]

\text{KOH} (aq) + \text{HNO}_3 (aq) \to \text{KNO}_3 (aq) + \text{H}_2\text{O} (l)

The solution shall contain only \text{KNO}_3 (aq) (and water) at the equivalence point. Both potassium hydroxide and nitric acid exist as strong electrolytes. As a result,  \text{KNO}_3 (aq), the salt derived from a reaction between the two species would undergo hydrolysis of a negligible extent. This neutralization reaction therefore be neutral at the equilibrium point.

The question states that the solution is "titrated with a ... nitric acid solution" indicating that \text{HNO}_3 is added to the initially-basic solution. PH value of the solution would keep decreasing as the volume of the acid added increases. The final solution would be acidic as it contains not only water and \text{KNO}_3 (aq), but some \text{HNO}_3 as well. Bromothymol blue would therefore demonstrates a yellow color, the color it present in an acidic solution, at the end of the titration.

Which of the following is true?
Tomtit [17]

Answer:

a. A reaction in which the entropy of the system increases can be spontaneous only if it is endothermic.

Explanation:

The change in free energy (ΔG) that is, the <u>energy available to do work</u>, of a system for a constant-temperature process is:

ΔG = ΔH - TΔS

  • When ΔG < 0 the reaction is spontaneous in the forward direction.
  • When ΔG > 0 the reaction is nonspontaneous. The reaction is

spontaneous in the opposite direction.

  • When ΔG = 0 the system is at equilibrium.

If <u>both ΔH and ΔS are positive</u>, then ΔG will be negative only when the TΔS  term is greater in magnitude than ΔH. This condition is met when T is large.
