Give the name of this alcohol.

solong [7]

Answer:

An alcohol is an organic compound with a hydroxyl (OH) functional group on an aliphatic carbon atom. Because OH is the functional group of all alcohols, we often represent alcohols by the general formula ROH, where R is an alkyl group. Alcohols are common in nature.

One kilogram of water at 100 0C is cooled reversibly to 15 0C. Compute the change in entropy. Specific heat of water is 4190 J/K

mina [271]

Answer:

The change in entropy is -1083.112 joules per kilogram-Kelvin.

Explanation:

If the water is cooled reversibly with no phase changes, then there is no entropy generation during the entire process. By the Second Law of Thermodynamics, we represent the change of entropy ( $s_{2} - s_{1}$ ), in joules per gram-Kelvin, by the following model:

$s_{2} - s_{1} = \int\limits^{T_{2}}_{T_{1}} {\frac{dQ}{T} }$

$s_{2} - s_{1} = m\cdot c_{w} \cdot \int\limits^{T_{2}}_{T_{1}} {\frac{dT}{T} }$

$s_{2} - s_{1} = m\cdot c_{w} \cdot \ln \frac{T_{2}}{T_{1}}$ (1)

Where:

$m$ - Mass, in kilograms.

$c_{w}$ - Specific heat of water, in joules per kilogram-Kelvin.

$T_{1}$ , $T_{2}$ - Initial and final temperatures of water, in Kelvin.

If we know that $m = 1\,kg$ , $c_{w} = 4190\,\frac{J}{kg\cdot K}$ , $T_{1} = 373.15\,K$ and $T_{2} = 288.15\,K$ , then the change in entropy for the entire process is:

$s_{2} - s_{1} = (1\,kg) \cdot \left(4190\,\frac{J}{kg\cdot K} \right)\cdot \ln \frac{288.15\,K}{373.15\,K}$

$s_{2} - s_{1} = -1083.112\,\frac{J}{kg\cdot K}$

The change in entropy is -1083.112 joules per kilogram-Kelvin.

What is the limiting reactant when 4 mol P4 and 4 mol S8 react.

In-s [12.5K]

Taking into account the reaction stoichiometry, P₄ will be the limiting reagent.

<h3>Reaction stoichiometry</h3>

In first place, the balanced reaction is:

8 P₄ + 3 S₈ → 8 P₄S₃

By reaction stoichiometry (that is, the relationship between the amount of reagents and products in a chemical reaction), the following amounts of moles of each compound participate in the reaction:

P₄: 8 moles
S₈: 3 moles
P₄S₃: 8 moles

<h3>Limiting reagent</h3>

The limiting reagent is one that is consumed first in its entirety, determining the amount of product in the reaction. When the limiting reagent is finished, the chemical reaction will stop.

<h3>Limiting reagent in this case</h3>

To determine the limiting reagent, it is possible to use a simple rule of three as follows: if by stoichiometry 3 moles of S₈ reacts with 8 moles of P₄, 4 moles of S₈ reacts with how many moles of P₄?

$moles of P_{4} =\frac{4 moles of S_{8} x8 moles of P_{4} }{3 moles of S_{8}}$

<u><em>moles of P₄= 10.667 moles</em></u>

But 10.667 moles of P₄ are not available, 4 moles are available. Since you have less amount of moles than you need to react with 4 moles of S₈, P₄ will be the limiting reagent.

Which two subatomic particles have the greatest mass?

denpristay [2]

Answer:

PROTON AND NEUTRON

Explanation:

The mass of proton is : $1.67*10^{-27}kg$

A proton is one of the main particles that make up the atom . The other two particles are neutron and electron. Protons are found in the nucleus of the atom.This is a tiny , dense region at the centre of the atom. Protons have a positive charge of one (+1) and a mass of 1 atomic mass unit ( amu ) , which is about $1.67*10^{-27}kg$ . Together with neutrons , they make up virtually all of the mass of an atom.

The mass of neutron is also approximately: $1.67*10^{-27}kg$ but a little more than that .

Atoms of all elements - except Hydrogen , have neutrons in their nucleus . Unlike protons and electrons , these have no charge - they are electrically neutral . The mass of a neutron is slightly greater than the mass of a proton but not very significant
