To begin the experiment, 1.5g of methane CH4 is burned in a bomb calorimeter containing 1,000 grams of water. The initial temper

ature of water is 25°C. The specific heat of water is 4.184 J/g°C. The heat capacity of the calorimeter is 695 J/°C . After the reaction the final temperature of the water is 37°C.
1. Using the formula q =m• C• ΔT ,calculate the heat absorbed by the water. Show work.

2. The total heat absorbed by the water and the calorimeter can be calculated by adding the heat calculated in steps 3 and 4. The amount of heat released by the reaction is equal to the amount of heat absorbed with the negative sign as this is an exothermic reaction. Using the formula ∆H = -(qcal + qwater), calculate the total heat of combustion. Show work.

3. Calculate the experimental molar heat of combustion in kJ/mol? Show work.

4. Given the formula: % error = ((accepted value-experimental value)/accepted value) * 100, calculate the percent error for the experiment. Show work

Mass of methane takne = 1.5g

moles of methane used = masss / molar mass = 1.5 / 16 = 0.094 moles


mass of water = 1000 g

Initial temperature of water = 25 C

final temperature = 37 C

specific heat of water = 4.184 J /g C

1) Heat absorbed by water = q =m• C• ΔT = 1000 X 4.184 x (37-25) =  50208 Joules

2) Heat absorbed by calorimeter = Heat capacity X ΔT = 695 X (37-25) = 8340 J

3) Total heat of combustion = heat absorbed by water + calorimeter = 50208 + 8340 = 58548 Joules

This heat is released by 0.094 moles of methane

So heat released by one mole of methane =

                            - 622851.06 Joules = 622.85 kJ / mole

4) standard enthalpy of combustion = -882 kJ / mole

Error = (882-622.85) X 100 / 882 = 24.84 %

g If 50.0 mL of a 0.75 M acetic acid solution is titrated with 1.0 M sodium hydroxide, what is the pH after 10.0 mL of NaOH have
V125BC [204]

Answer:

pH = 2.66

Explanation:

  • Acetic Acid + NaOH → Sodium Acetate + H₂O

First we <u>calculate the number of moles of each reactant</u>, using the <em>given volumes and concentrations</em>:

  • 0.75 M Acetic acid * 50.0 mL = 37.5 mmol acetic acid
  • 1.0 M NaOH * 10.0 mL = 10 mmol NaOH

We<u> calculate how many acetic acid moles remain after the reaction</u>:

  • 37.5 mmol - 10 mmol = 27.5 mmol acetic acid

We now <u>calculate the molar concentration of acetic acid after the reaction</u>:

27.5 mmol / (50.0 mL + 10.0 mL) = 0.458 M

Then we <u>calculate [H⁺]</u>, using the<em> following formula for weak acid solutions</em>:

  • [H⁺] = \sqrt{C*Ka}=\sqrt{0.458M*1.76x10^{-5}}
  • [H⁺] = 0.0028

Finally we <u>calculate the pH</u>:

  • pH = -log[H⁺]
  • pH = 2.66

Part 1: Name the type of chemical reaction that occurs when calcium hydroxide (Ca(OH)2) reacts with nitric acid (HNO3).
liberstina [14]

<u>Answer:</u>

<u>For 1:</u> Neutralization reaction

<u>For 2: </u>Zinc is more reactive than lead and less reactive than calcium.

<u>Explanation:</u>

  • <u>For (1):</u>

When a base reacts with an acid to form a salt and water molecule, it is known as a neutralization reaction. The general equation follows:

HX+BOH\rightarrow BX+H_2O

The chemical equation for the reaction of calcium hydroxide and nitric acid follows:

Ca(OH)_2(aq)+2HNO_3(aq)\rightarrow Ca(NO_3)_2(aq)+2H_2O(l)

  • <u>For (2):</u>

A single displacement reaction is defined as the reaction in which a more reactive metal displaces a less reactive metal from its salt solution. The general chemical equation follows:

A+BX\rightarrow AX+B

where,

Metal A is more reactive than metal B

The reactivity of metals is judged by the reactivity series where a metal lying above in the series is more reactive than the metal lying below it.

From the reactivity series below,

Zinc lies above in the series than lead thus is more reactive and will easily replace lead from its aqueous solution.

While zinc lies below in the series than calcium thus is less reactive and will not easily replace calcium from its aqueous solution.

Zn(s)+Pb(NO_3)_2(aq)\rightarrow Zn(NO_3)_2(aq)+Pb(s)

Zn(s)+CaCl_2(aq)\rightarrow \text{No reaction}

How is the behavior of electrons in an ionic bond different from the behavior of electrons in a covalent bond?
Valentin [98]

Answer:

The correct answer is "Electrons are transferred in an ionic bond"

Explanation:

The covalent bond is the chemical bond between atoms where electrons are shared, forming a molecule. Covalent bonds are established between non-metallic elements, such as hydrogen H, oxygen O and chlorine Cl. These elements have many electrons in their outermost level (valence electrons) and have a tendency to gain electrons to acquire the stability of the electronic structure of noble gas. The shared electron pair is common to the two atoms and holds them together.

An ionic bond is produced between metallic and non-metallic atoms, where electrons are completely transferred from one atom to another. During this process, one atom loses electrons and another one gains them, forming ions. Usually, the metal gives up its electrons forming a cation to the nonmetal element, which forms an anion.

In conclusion, chemical bonds are made so that atoms can have their entire outer layer, and thus have a stable electronic configuration. In the ionic bond, when the metallic atom has only one electron in its outer layer and the non-metallic one needs an electron to complete its layer; The metallic atom seats its electron to the non-metallic one. In the same way, the electron is shared in the covalent bond in order to achieve equilibrium.  

Then, the main differences between the two bonds are that the ionic bond occurs between two different atoms (metallic and non-metallic), while the covalent bond occurs between two equal atoms (non-metallic). And in the covalent bond there is an electron compartment, while in the ionic bond there is an electron transfer.

So, the correct answer is "Electrons are transferred in an ionic bond"
