Answer: True

Explanation: Specific Gravity of a body, also called its Relative Density, is the ratio of the density of that body to the density of a reference material (usually water).

With the Mathematics done right, it is evident that the specific gravity of a body would be equal to the ratio of mass/weight of the body to the mass/weight of an equal volume of water.

S.G = (Density of body)/(Density of water)

Density of Body = (mass/weight of body)/(volume of body)

Density of water = (mass/weight of water)/(volume of water)

If volume of Body = Volume of water, then,

S.G = (Mass/Weight of body)/(Mass/Weight of equal volume of water)

Given the following at 25C calculate delta Hf for HCN (g) at 25C. 2NH3 (g) +3O2 (g) + 2CH4 (g) ---> 2HCN (g) + 6H2O (g) delta

AysviL [449]

<u>Answer:</u> The $\Delta H_f$ for HCN (g) in the reaction is 135.1 kJ/mol.

<u>Explanation:</u>

Enthalpy change is defined as the difference in enthalpies of all the product and the reactants each multiplied with their respective number of moles. The equation used to calculate enthalpy change is of a reaction is:

$\Delta H_{rxn}=\sum [n\times \Delta H_f(product)]-\sum [n\times \Delta H_f(reactant)]$

For the given chemical reaction:

$2NH_3(g)+3O_2(g)+2CH_4(g)\rightarrow 2HCN(g)+6H_2O(g)$

The equation for the enthalpy change of the above reaction is:

$\Delta H_{rxn}=[(2\times \Delta H_f_{(HCN)})+(6\times \Delta H_f_{(H_2O)})]-[(2\times \Delta H_f_{(NH_3)})+(3\times \Delta H_f_{(O_2)})+(2\times \Delta H_f_{(CH_4)})]$

We are given:

$\Delta H_f_{(H_2O)}=-241.8kJ/mol\\\Delta H_f_{(NH_3)}=-80.3kJ/mol\\\Delta H_f_{(CH_4)}=-74.6kJ/mol\\\Delta H_f_{(O_2)}=0kJ/mol\\\Delta H_{rxn}=-870.8kJ$

Putting values in above equation, we get:

$-870.8=[(2\times \Delta H_f_{(HCN)})+(6\times (-241.8))]-[(2\times (-80.3))+(3\times (0))+(2\times (-74.6))]\\\\\Delta H_f_{(HCN)}=135.1kJ$

Hence, the $\Delta H_f$ for HCN (g) in the reaction is 135.1 kJ/mol.

is there a relationship between the relative age of stars in the number/identity of element is found within them

lukranit [14]

Yes. Stars use fusion to create nuclear energy, which is what makes them "alive". The older they are, the "bigger" the element in them is. Hydrogen turns into Helium, and when hydrogen is used up, the helium starts fusing into bigger elements. it stops at iron however. Once stars start fusing silicon to iron, it is doomed because it takes more energy than it gives off.
