Sodium carbonate (Na2CO3) reacts with acetic acid (CH3COOH) to form sodium acetate (NaCH3COO), carbon dioxide (CO2), and water (

H2O). A chemist carries out this reaction in a bomb calorimeter. The reaction causes the temperature of a bomb calorimeter to decrease by 0.985 K. The calorimeter has a mass of 1.500 kg and a specific heat of 2.52 J/g•K. What is the heat of reaction for this system?

Use the formula q=m×Cp×delta T

m=1.500 kg=1,500 g
Co=2.52 J/g·k
delta T=0.985k

q=(1,500g)(2.52 J/g·k)(0.985k)

=3,723.3 J=3.72


I JUST FINISHED THIS QUESTION AND IT SAID THAT THE ANSWER WAS -3.72 kJ SO PUT THAT DOWN AS YOUR ANSWER....I'm not sure why the answer is negative, but this is the most work I can show. If any one knows, why this answer is negative, please advise. Thank you. I hope that this helps :)

Answer:

\Delta _rH =-3723.3 J

Explanation:

Hello,

In this case, as you're working in a calorimeter, its associated heat equals the enthalpy of reaction due to the change in the temperature and its mass, in such a way, we compute it as follows:

\Delta _rH = mCp*\Delta T\\\Delta _rH = 1.500kg * \frac{1000g}{1kg}  * 2.52\frac{J}{g*K} * (-0.985K)\\\Delta _rH = - 3723.3 J

It is negative, since the temperature within the calorimeter is decreased.

Best regards.

Traits that are due to _______ are considered to be acquired traits.
kirill [66]

Environmental conditions

Explanation:

Traits that are due to environmental conditions are considered to be acquired traits. This kind of trait are not coded in the DNA and passed down as inherited traits.

  • A larger body muscle due to regular exercise and fitness training is an acquired trait.
  • Skin color most times are inherited.
  • Acquired traits are typically conditioned due to the environment an organism finds itself.
  • These traits cannot be passed down.

Which condition must be met in order for an equation to be balanced?
olga55 [171]

Answer:

The elements in the reactants are the same as the elements in the products.

Explanation:

You can't have more or less elements or atoms, but you also can't just have the same number of atoms because then it could be different elements, which can't happen.

What amount of acid is esterified if a mixture consist initially of 1.0mole of ethanoic acid,1.0mole of ethanol and 1.0mole of w
ale4655 [162]

Answer:

0.54 mole

Explanation:

                                     CH3COOH    CH3CH2OH   CH3COOCH2CH3    H2O​

Initial concentration   1.0 mole         1.0 mole                0 mole                  1.0mol

Change                          - x                   - x                      + x                          + x  

Equilibrium                   (1.0 - x)          (1.0 - x)                   x                       (1.0 + x)

K = [CH3COOCH2CH3]*[H2O​]/[CH3COOH]*[CH3CH2OH]

x*(1.0+x)/(1.0-x)(1.0-x) = 4.0

x+x²=4*(1-x)²

x+x² = 4(1² - 2x + x²)

x + x² = 4 - 8x + 4x²

4 - 8x + 4x²- x² - x= 0

3x² - 9x + 4 = 0

x=2.5 , x=0.54

2.5 mole of acid cannot be esterified, because there is only 1.0 mole of acid,

so answer is 0.54 mole.

What adaptations of the harpy eagle allow it to be such a successful rainforest predator?
IgorC [24]
The ranking of most eagles in the food chain is at the top. They are called apex predator.

The harpy eagle is one of the largest eagle there is. Common to most eagles are its sharpness of their vision. Most eagles use it to sight their predator while circling above the ground at a distance unseen by the prey. However, harpy eagles adapted a way of hunting prey which is called perch-hunting.

Perch-hunting is a way of looking for predator by scanning the trees for prey by flying in short distances from a tree to another tree. The harpy eagle developed this skill since it is hard to sight a prey in a rain forest because of the leaves and trees blocking its vision. Hence, perch-hunting is very apt for the scenario of a rain forest eagle.

A solution contains the ions Ag , Pb2 , and Ni2 . Dilute solutions of NaCl, Na2SO4, and Na2S are available to separate the posit
Delicious77 [7]

Answer:

The solutions should be added in this order NaCl > Na2SO4 > Na2S

Explanation:

Silver is insoluble as a chloride, so the silver ions get precipitated on addition of chloride ion as silver chloride.  This means Ag+ would be removed the first.

So we will add NaCl in the first step.

The following reaction will occur.

Ag+ + Cl- → AgCl(s)

Both, Pb2 and Ni are soluble as chlorides. (lead chloride is soluble as a hot solution but will ppt when colder).

When we add Na2SO4, Pb2+ will get precipitated (because it's insoluble) as PbSO4 and Ni will remain soluble as NiSO4 is soluble in water.

The reaction that will occur is:

Pb^2+ + SO4^2- → PbSO4(s)

Nickel is insoluble as a sulfide. So when we will add Na2S, nickel will be precipitated as sulfide and be able to separate and be collected.

The solutions should be added in this order NaCl > Na2SO4 > Na2S
