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 %

You have 400 kg of a radioactive substance with a short half-life of 1000 years. how much will be left after these times?
Amiraneli [1.4K]
Half-life of a radioactive substance is the time required to reduce the amount of substance to half of its initial amount. 

In present case, half-life is material is given as 1000 years and initial amount of material is given as 400 kg
 
Answer 1) Since, half-life of radio-active substance is 1000 years, therefore after 1st half life, amount of the material will be left to half the initial amount. Hence, amount of substance left after 1000 years = 400/2 = 200 kg.

Answer 2) For 2000 years, radioactive material has crossed 2 times the half life. Therefore ,  amount of the material will be left to 1/4 the initial amount. Hence, amount of substance left after 2000 years = 400/4 = 100 kg.

Answer 3) 
 For 4000 years, radioactive material has crossed 4 times the half life. Therefore , amount of the material will be left to 1/16 the initial amount. Hence, amount of substance left after 4000 years = 400/16 = 25 kg.

The densities of copper, silver, iron, and magnesium are in that order. You are given grams of each metal. Which one has the lar
enot [183]

Density is the ratio of mass to volume. The substance with the lowest density has the largest volume. The volume of magnesium will be the largest.

<h3>What is density?</h3>

Density is the mass per volume of the substance. It is denoted by the Latin letter rho (ρ) or D. It is the division of the mass in kilograms to the volume in cubic meters.

The relation of the density is inversely proportional to the volume and when the order is given in increasing order of density then magnesium will have the largest volume as it has the least density.

Therefore, magnesium has the largest volume.

5. Can you determine the number of neutrons in the nucleus of an atom by looking at the element's average atomic mass and the at
Shkiper50 [21]

Answer:

No you can't

Explanation:

The atomic number is the amount of protons in element's nucleus, that's one reason why. The second reason is that the atomic mass is protons and neutrons combined, their estimated value, which doesn't show how much neutrons are in an element. It does show combined, but not specifically neutrons

How does the shape of an enzyme affect its function?
lutik1710 [3]

Each enzyme's active site is suitable for one specific type of substrate – just like a lock that has the right shape for only one specific key. Changing the shape of the active site of an enzyme will cause its reaction to slow down until the shape has changed so much that the substrate no longer fits.
