A bomb calorimeter has a heat capacity of 783 J/oC and contains 254 g of water whose specific heat capacity is 4.184 J/goC. How

IrinaK [193]

Answer : The amount of heat evolved by a reaction is, 4.81 kJ

Explanation :

Heat released by the reaction = Heat absorbed by the calorimeter + Heat absorbed by the water

$q=[q_1+q_2]$

$q=[c_1\times \Delta T+m_2\times c_2\times \Delta T]$

where,

q = heat released by the reaction

$q_1$ = heat absorbed by the calorimeter

$q_2$ = heat absorbed by the water

$c_1$ = specific heat of calorimeter = $783J/^oC$

$c_2$ = specific heat of water = $4.184J/g^oC$

$m_2$ = mass of water = 254 g

$\Delta T$ = change in temperature = $T_2-T_1=(23.73-26.01)=-2.28^oC$

Now put all the given values in the above formula, we get:

$q=[(783J/^oC\times -2.28^oC)+(254g\times 4.184J/g^oC\times -2.28^oC)]$

$q=-4208.28J=-4.81kJ$

Therefore, the amount of heat evolved by a reaction is, 4.81 kJ

How would having too much sample in the melting point tube most likely affect the melting point measurement? Select the correct

oksano4ka [1.4K]

Answer:

2-4 mm height of capillary tube.

Explanation:

Sample should be around 2-4 mm in height.

It should be packed well so that it does not have air packets that caues the lowering of melting point.

If you take greater amount, then there will be needed more heat, resulting a wide range of melting point.

Consider the balanced equation for the following reaction:

Bad White [126]

<u>Answer:</u> The theoretical yield of the lithium chlorate is 1054.67 grams

<u>Explanation:</u>

To calculate the mass for given number of moles, we use the equation:

$\text{Number of moles}=\frac{\text{Given mass}}{\text{Molar mass}}$

Actual moles of lithium chlorate = 9.45 moles

Molar mass of lithium chlorate = 90.4 g/mol

Putting values in above equation, we get:

$9.45mol=\frac{\text{Actual yield of lithium chlorate}}{90.4g/mol}\\\\\text{Actual yield of lithium chlorate}=(9.45mol\times 90.4g/mol)=854.28g$

To calculate the theoretical yield of lithium chlorate, we use the equation:

$\%\text{ yield}=\frac{\text{Actual yield}}{\text{Theoretical yield}}\times 100$

Actual yield of lithium chlorate = 854.28 g

Percentage yield of lithium chlorate = 81.0 %

Putting values in above equation, we get:

$81=\frac{854.28g}{\text{Theoretical yield of lithium chlorate}}\times 100\\\\\text{Theoretical yield of lithium chlorate}=\frac{854.28\times 100}{81}=1054.67g$

Hence, the theoretical yield of the lithium chlorate is 1054.67 grams

How many moles of lithium oxide will form if 1.68 mol of lithium react?

levacccp [35]

Based on the chemical equation, 4 moles of lithium reacts with 1 mole of oxygen to produce 2 moles of lithium oxide.
First of all you need to find 1 mole of Lithium by diving 1.68 mol by 4 and the answer should be 0.42 mol. To calculate the no. of moles of lithium oxide, you've to multiply 0.42 mol by 2. Hence the answer, 0.84 mol.
