Answer:

H₂SO₄

Explanation:

A Brønsted acid is a proton donor. It loses protons.

This equation may be easier to understand if we write it ionically.

$\underbrace{\hbox{H$_{2}$SO$_{4}$}}_{\hbox{Br$\o{}$nsted acid}} + 2 \text{NH}_{3} \longrightarrow \, \underbrace{\hbox{SO$_{4}^{2-}$}}_{\hbox{Br$\o{}$nsted base}} + \text{2 NH}_{4}^{+}$

We see that the H₂SO₄ has lost two protons to become SO₄²⁻, so it is a Brønsted acid.

Use the given data at 500 K to calculate ΔG°for the reaction

Anton [14]

Answer : The value of $\Delta G^o$ for the reaction is -959.1 kJ

Explanation :

The given balanced chemical reaction is,

$2H_2S(g)+3O_2(g)\rightarrow 2H_2O(g)+2SO_2(g)$

First we have to calculate the enthalpy of reaction $(\Delta H^o)$ .

$\Delta H^o=H_f_{product}-H_f_{reactant}$

$\Delta H^o=[n_{H_2O}\times \Delta H_f^0_{(H_2O)}+n_{SO_2}\times \Delta H_f^0_{(SO_2)}]-[n_{H_2S}\times \Delta H_f^0_{(H_2S)}+n_{O_2}\times \Delta H_f^0_{(O_2)}]$

where,

$\Delta H^o$ = enthalpy of reaction = ?

n = number of moles

$\Delta H_f^0$ = standard enthalpy of formation

Now put all the given values in this expression, we get:

$\Delta H^o=[2mole\times (-242kJ/mol)+2mole\times (-296.8kJ/mol)}]-[2mole\times (-21kJ/mol)+3mole\times (0kJ/mol)]$

$\Delta H^o=-1035.6kJ=-1035600J$

conversion used : (1 kJ = 1000 J)

Now we have to calculate the entropy of reaction $(\Delta S^o)$ .

$\Delta S^o=S_f_{product}-S_f_{reactant}$

$\Delta S^o=[n_{H_2O}\times \Delta S_f^0_{(H_2O)}+n_{SO_2}\times \Delta S_f^0_{(SO_2)}]-[n_{H_2S}\times \Delta S_f^0_{(H_2S)}+n_{O_2}\times \Delta S_f^0_{(O_2)}]$

where,

$\Delta S^o$ = entropy of reaction = ?

n = number of moles

$\Delta S_f^0$ = standard entropy of formation

Now put all the given values in this expression, we get:

$\Delta S^o=[2mole\times (189J/K.mol)+2mole\times (248J/K.mol)}]-[2mole\times (206J/K.mol)+3mole\times (205J/K.mol)]$

$\Delta S^o=-153J/K$

Now we have to calculate the Gibbs free energy of reaction $(\Delta G^o)$ .

As we know that,

$\Delta G^o=\Delta H^o-T\Delta S^o$

At room temperature, the temperature is 500 K.

$\Delta G^o=(-1035600J)-(500K\times -153J/K)$

$\Delta G^o=-959100J=-959.1kJ$

Therefore, the value of $\Delta G^o$ for the reaction is -959.1 kJ

Plants undergo photosynthesis to produce glucose according to the reaction below. What mass of water is required to produce 5.0g

solniwko [45]

Answer:

option a) 3 g

Explanation:

mass of Glucose = 5 g

Mass of H₂O = ?

Reaction Given:

6CO₂ + 6H₂O ----> C₆H₁₂O₆ + 6O₂

Solution:

First we have to find mass of glucose from balanced reaction.

So,

Look at the reaction

6CO₂ + 6H₂O -------> C₆H₁₂O₆ + 6O₂

6 mol 1 mol

As 6 mole of water (H₂O) give 1 mole of Glucose (C₆H₁₂O₆ )

Convert moles to mass

molar mass of C₆H₁₂O₆ = 6(12) + 12(1) + 6(16)

molar mass of C₆H₁₂O₆ = 72 + 12 + 96

molar mass of C₆H₁₂O₆= 180 g/mol

molar mass of H₂O = 2(1) + 16 = 18 g/mol

Now

6CO₂ + 6H₂O ---------> C₆H₁₂O₆ + 6O₂

6 mol (18 g/mol) 1 mol (180 g/mol)

108 g 180 g

108 g of water (H₂O) produce 180 g of glucose (C₆H₁₂O₆)

if 108 g of water (H₂O) produce 180 g of glucose (C₆H₁₂O₆) so how many grams of water (H₂O) will be required to produce 5 g of glucose (C₆H₁₂O₆).

Apply Unity Formula

108 g of water (H₂O) ≅ 180 g of glucose (C₆H₁₂O₆)

X g of water (H₂O) ≅ 5 g of glucose (C₆H₁₂O₆)

Do cross multiply

mass of water (H₂O) = 108 g x 5 g / 180 g

mass of water (H₂O) = 3 g

So 3 g of water is required to produce 5 g of glucose.

As part of your job you are asked to make 1 liter of a 0.5 molar sucrose solution. how much sucrose (c12h22o11) do you need? use

kakasveta [241]

Answer:- 171 g

Solution:- It asks to calculate the grams of sucrose required to make 1 L of 0.5 Molar solution of it.

We know that molarity is moles of solute per liter of solution.

If molarity and volume is given then, moles of solute is molarity times volume in liters.

moles of solute = molarity* liters of solution

moles of solute = 0.5*1 = 0.5 moles

To convert the moles to grams we multiply the moles by molar mass.

Molar mass of sucrose = 12(12) + 22(1) + 11(16)

= 144 + 22 + 176

= 342 grams per mol

grams of sucrose required = moles * molar mass

grams of sucrose required = 0.5*342 = 171 g

So, 171 g of sucrose are required to make 1 L of 0.5 molar solution.
