Answer:

The heat of combustion for 1.00 mol of octane is  -5485.7 kJ/mol

Explanation:

<u>Step 1:</u> Data given

Mass of octane = 1.00 grams

Heat capacity of calorimeter = 837 J/°C

Mass of water = 1200 grams

Temperature of water = 25.0°C

Final temperature : 33.2 °C

<u> Step 2:</u> Calculate heat absorbed by the calorimeter

q = c*ΔT

⇒ with c = the heat capacity of the calorimeter = 837 J/°C

⇒ with ΔT = The change of temperature = T2 - T1 = 33.2 - 25.0 : 8.2 °C

q = 837 * 8.2 = 6863.4 J

<u>Step 3:</u> Calculate heat absorbed by the water

q = m*c*ΔT

⇒ m = the mass of the water = 1200 grams

⇒ c = the specific heat of water = 4.184 J/g°C

⇒ ΔT = The change in temperature = T2 - T1 = 33.2 - 25  = 8.2 °C

q = 1200 * 4.184 * 8.2 =  41170.56 J

<u>Step 4</u>: Calculate the total heat

qcalorimeter + qwater = 6863.4 + 41170. 56 = 48033.96 J  = 48 kJ

Since this is an exothermic reaction, there is heat released. q is positive but ΔH is negative.

<u>Step 5</u>: Calculate moles of octane

Moles octane = 1.00 gram / 114.23 g/mol

Moles octane = 0.00875 moles

<u>Step 6:</u> Calculate heat combustion for 1.00 mol of octane

ΔH = -48 kJ / 0.00875 moles

ΔH = -5485.7 kJ/mol

The heat of combustion for 1.00 mol of octane is  -5485.7 kJ/mol

Give the nuclear symbol (isotope symbol) for the isotope of bromine, Br, that contains 46 neutrons per atom.
Doss [256]
Bromine has 35 protons, and in this case 46 neutrons, so 35 + 46 = 81
Therefore, the symbol is (subscript 35)(superscript 81) Br.

How many grams of silver oxide are needed to react with 7.9 g of hydrochloric acid produce silver chloide and water?
Anastaziya [24]

Answer:

25.11 g.

Explanation:

  • It is clear from the balanced equation:

<em>Ag₂O + 2HCl → 2AgCl + H₂O.</em>

<em></em>

that 1.0  mole of Ag₂O reacts with 2.0 moles of HCl to produce 2.0 mole of AgCl and 1.0 moles of H₂O.

  • 7.8 g of HCl reacts with excess Ag₂O. To calculate the no. of grams of Ag₂O that reacted, we should calculate the no. of moles of HCl:

<em>no. of moles of HCl = mass/atomic mass</em> = (7.9 g)/(36.46 g/mol) = <em>0.2167 mol.</em>

  • From the balanced equation; every 1.0 mol of Ag₂O reacts with 2 moles of HCl.

∴ 0.2167 mol of HCl will react with (0.2617 mol / 2 = 0.1083 mol) of Ag₂O.

<em>∴ The mass of reacted Ag₂O = no. of moles x molar mas</em>s = (0.1083 mol)(231.735 g/mol) = <em>25.11 g.</em>
