Balanced chemical equation :

1. 4HCl (aq) + O₂ (g) ⇒ 2Cl₂ (g) + 2H₂O (l)

2. C₈H₂₀ (l) + 13O₂ (g) ⇒ 8CO₂ (g) + 10H₂O (g)

3. 2NO (g) + 5 H₂ (g) ⇒ 2NH₃ (g) + 2H₂O (g)

4. Fe₂O₃ (s) + 3CO (g) ⇒ 2Fe (s) + 3CO₂ (g)

<h3>Further explanation </h3>

Equalization of chemical reactions can be done using variables. Steps in equalizing the reaction equation:

1. gives a coefficient on substances involved in the equation of reaction such as a, b, or c, etc.

2. make an equation based on the similarity of the number of atoms where the number of atoms = coefficient × index (subscript) between reactant and product

3. Select the coefficient of the substance with the most complex chemical formula equal to 1

For gas combustion reaction which is a reaction of hydrocarbons with oxygen produces CO₂ and H₂O (water vapor). can use steps:

Balancing C, H and the last O

1. HCl (aq) + O₂ (g) ⇒ Cl₂ (g) + H₂O (l)

Suppose we give a coefficient of 1 for HCl

HCl (aq) + aO₂ (g) ⇒ bCl₂ (g) + cH₂O (l)

number of H atoms: left 1, right 2c -> 2c = 1-> c = 1/2

number of Cl atoms: left 1, right 2b ---> 2b = 1 ----> b = 1/2

number of O atoms: left 2a, right c ---> 2a = c ---> 2a = 1/2 ---> a = 1/4

the reaction coefficient becomes:

HCl (aq) + 1 / 4O₂ (g) ⇒ 1 / 2Cl₂ (g) + 1 / 2H₂O (l) x 4

4HCl (aq) + O₂ (g) ⇒ 2Cl₂ (g) + 2H₂O (l)

2. C₈H₂₀ (l) + O₂ (g) ⇒ CO₂ (g) + H₂O (g)

Suppose we give a coefficient of 1 for C₈H₂₀

C₈H₂₀ (l) + aO₂ (g) ⇒ bCO₂ (g) + cH₂O (g)

number of C atoms: left 8, right b ---> b = 8

number of H atoms: left 20, right 2c -> 2c = 20 -> c = 10

number of O atoms: left 2a, right 2b + c ---> 2a = 2b + c ---> 2a = 2.8 + 10 ---> 2a = 26 ---> a = 13

the reaction coefficient becomes:

C₈H₂₀ (l) + 13O₂ (g) ⇒ 8CO₂ (g) + 10H₂O (g)

3. NO (g) + H₂ (g) ⇒ NH₃ (g) + H₂O (g)

Let's say we give a coefficient of 1 for NH₃

aNO (g) + bH₂ (g) ⇒ NH₃ (g) + cH₂O (g)

number of N atoms: left a, right 1 ---> a = 1

number of O atoms: left a, right c ---> a = c = 1

number of H atoms: left 2b, right 3 + 2c -> 2b = 3 + 2.1 ---> 2b = 5 -> b = 5/2

the reaction coefficient becomes:

NO (g) +5/2 H₂ (g) ⇒ NH₃ (g) + H₂O (g) x2

2NO (g) +5 H₂ (g) ⇒ 2NH₃ (g) + 2H₂O (g)

4. Fe₂O₃ (s) + CO (g) ⇒ Fe (s) + CO₂ (g)

Let's say we give a coefficient of 1 for Fe₂O₃

Fe₂O₃ (s) + aCO (g) ⇒ bFe (s) + cCO₂ (g)

number of Fe atoms: left 2, right b ---> b = 2

number of O atoms: left 3 + a, right 2c ---> 3 + a = 2c

number of C atoms: left a, right c -> a = c -> we put in the equation the number of atoms O

3 + c = 2c ---> 3 = c = a

the reaction coefficient becomes:

Fe₂O₃ (s) + 3CO (g) ⇒ 2Fe (s) + 3CO₂ (g)

These are four questions and four complete answers

Since the answer is over 5,000 characters, the full answers are in the attached file.

Answers:

A) 4HCl (aq) + O₂(g) → 2Cl₂ (g) + 2H₂O (l)

B) C₈H₂₀ (l) + 13O₂(g) → 8CO₂ (g) + 10H₂O (g)

C) 2NO (g) + 5H₂(g) → 2NH₃ (g) + 2H₂O (g)

D) Fe₂O₃ (s) + 3CO(g) → 2Fe (s) + 3CO₂ (g)

Explanation:

A) Aqueous hydrogen chloride reacts with oxygen gas to form chlorine gas and liquid water.

1) Word equation:

Aqueous hydrogen chloride + oxygen gas → chlorine gas + liquid water

2) Chemical equation:

HCl (aq) + O₂(g) → Cl₂ (g) + H₂O (l)

3) Explanation of each term:

HCl (aq):

* The most electronegative element (Cl) is written to the right, and the least electronegative element (H) is written to the left.

* The abbreviation aq inside the parenthesis is used to describe the aqueous phase of the compound.

O₂ (g)

* Oxygen is a diatomic molecule, so you use the subscript 2 to indicate the two atoms in the molecule.

* The abbreviation (g) indicates the gas phase.

Cl₂ (g)

* Chlorine is a diatomic gas, so you use the subscript 2 to indicate the two atoms in the molecule.

* The abbreviation (g) indicates the gas phase.

H₂O (l)

* The most electronegative element (O) is written to the right and the least electronetative element (H) is written to the left.

* The subscript 2 next to H indicates that there are two atoms of hydrogen, while the lack of subscript next to O indicates that there is one atom of oxygen, in each molecule of water.

* The abbreviation (l) indicates the liquid phase of water.

4) Balancing

To obey the mass conservation law, the number of each kind of atoms in the reactant side must equal the number of the same kind of atom in the product side. Hence, you have to introduce the necessary coefficients to balance the equation:

4HCl (aq) + O₂(g) → 2Cl₂ (g) + 2H₂O (l)

Count each kind of atoms on each side to check the equation is balanced:

Element left side right side

H 4 2×2 = 4

Cl 4 2×2 = 4

O 1×2 = 2 2×1 = 2

Conclusion: the balanced chemical equation is

4HCl (aq) + O₂(g) → 2Cl₂ (g) + 2H₂O (l)

3) Explanation of each term:

C₈H₂₀ (l)

* This is an organic compound. An alkane. This name follows IUPAC rules.

* The abbreviation (l) describes the liquid phase of the compound.

O₂ (g)

* Oxygen is a diatomic molecule, so you use the subscript 2 to indicate the two atoms in the molecule.

* The abbreviation (g) indicates the gas phase.

CO₂ (g)

* Oxygen, O, is the most electronegative, and carbon (C) is the least electronegative.

* The subscript 2 next to O atom, indicates that there are two atoms of oxygen in the molecule. There is only one atom of carbon (no subscript is added).

* The abbreviation (g) indicates the gas phase.

H₂O (g)

* The most electronegative element (O) is written to the right and the least electronetative element (H) is written to the left.

* The subscript 2 next to H indicates that there are two atoms of hydrogen. The lack of subscript next to O indicates that there is one atom of oxygen, in each molecule of water.

* The abbreviation (g) indicates the vapor (gas) phase of water.

4) Balancing

C₈H₂₀ (l) + 13O₂(g) → 8CO₂ (g) + 10H₂O (g)

Count each kind of atoms on each side to check the equation is balanced:

Element left side right side

3Fe ⇌ 3Fe²⁺(0.25 mol·L⁻¹) + 6e-

2Cr³⁺(0.75 mol·L⁻¹) + 3Fe ⇌ 2Cr + 3Fe²⁺(0.25 mol·L⁻¹)

The concentrations are not 1 mol·L⁻¹, so we must use the Nernst equation

Which of the following is kept constant when using a bomb calorimeter?

trapecia [35]

Constant Volume Calorimetry, also know as bomb calorimetry, is used to measure the heat of a reaction while holding volume constant and resisting large amounts of pressure. Although these two aspects of bomb calorimetry make for accurate results, they also contribute to the difficulty of bomb calorimetry. In this module, the basic assembly of a bomb calorimeter will be addressed, as well as how bomb calorimetry relates to the heat of reaction and heat capacity and the calculations involved in regards to these two topics.

Introduction

Calorimetry is used to measure quantities of heat, and can be used to determine the heat of a reaction through experiments. Usually a coffee-cup calorimeter is used since it is simpler than a bomb calorimeter, but to measure the heat evolved in a combustion reaction, constant volume or bomb calorimetry is ideal. A constant volume calorimeter is also more accurate than a coffee-cup calorimeter, but it is more difficult to use since it requires a well-built reaction container that is able to withstand large amounts of pressure changes that happen in many chemical reactions.

Most serious calorimetry carried out in research laboratories involves the determination of heats of combustion ΔHcombustion" role="presentation" style="display: inline-table; font-style: normal; font-weight: normal; line-height: normal; font-size: 14.4px; text-indent: 0px; text-align: left; text-transform: none; letter-spacing: normal; word-spacing: normal; word-wrap: normal; white-space: nowrap; float: none; direction: ltr; max-width: none; max-height: none; min-width: 0px; min-height: 0px; border: 0px; padding: 0px; margin: 0px; position: relative;">ΔHcombustionΔHcombustion, since these are essential to the determination of standard enthalpies of formation of the thousands of new compounds that are prepared and characterized each month. In a constant volume calorimeter, the system is sealed or isolated from its surroundings, and this accounts for why its volume is fixed and there is no volume-pressure work done. A bomb calorimeter structure consists of the following:

Steel bomb which contains the reactantsWater bath in which the bomb is submergedThermometerA motorized stirrerWire for ignition

is usually called a “bomb”, and the technique is known as bomb calorimetry

Another consequence of the constant-volume condition is that the heat released corresponds to qv , and thus to the internal energy change ΔUrather than to ΔH. The enthalpy change is calculated according to the formula
