What is the percent composition of carbon in heptane c7h16
Gnom [1K]

Answer: the percent composition of carbon in heptane is 83.9%

Explanation:

<u>1) Atomic masses of the atoms:</u>

  • C: 12.01 g/mol
  • H: 1.008 g/mol

<u>2) Molar mass of heptane:</u>

  • C₇H₁₆: 7 × 12.01 g/mol + 16×1.008 g/mol = 100.2 g/mol

<u>3) Mass of carbon in one mole of heptane:</u>

  • C₇: 7 × 12.01 g/mol = 84.07 g/mol

<u>3) Percent composition of carbon:</u>

  • % = (mass in grams of C) / (mass in grams of C₇H₁₆) × 100 =

           = (84.07 g/ 100.2 g) × 100 = 83.9% ← answer

How are the following aspects of a reaction affected by the addition of a catalyst? 1) activation energy of the reverse reaction
snow_tiger [21]

These are four questions and four answers.

Answers:

1) activation energy of the reverse reaction

     b. Decreased

2) Rate of the forward reaction

    a. Increased

3) Rate of the reverse reaction

    a. Increased

4) Activation energy of the forward reaction

    b. decreased

Explanation:

<em>Activarion energy</em> is the energy required by the reactants to form the intermediate transition state and become products.

<em>Catalysts</em> are substances that change the path of the chemical reactions, lowering the activation energy, and thus speeding up the rate of the reactions, since the products can reach the new lower activation energy faster.

The equilibrium reactions are the chemical process in which two reactions, the <em>forward and the reverese reactions</em>, occur simultaneously and at the same rate.  The equlibrium reactions may be represented by:

  • A ⇄ B

Where A → B is the direct or forward reaction, and A ← B is the reverse reaction (note the inversed arrow, from right to left).

For the direct reaction A represents the reactants and B represents the products. On the other hand, B represents the reactants and A represents the reactants of the reverse reaction and A. This, is A is the reactant of the forward reaction and the product of the reverse reaction, while B is the reactant of the reverse reaction and the product of the forward reaction.

Since, <em>the addition of a catalyst</em> lowers the activation energy of the process, the new activation energy is lower for both the forward and the reverse reaction, meaning that:

1. <em>The activation energy of the reverse reaction is decreased</em> (option b. of the first question)

2.<em> The rate of the forward reaction is increased</em> (option a. of the second question)

3. <em>The rate of the reverse reaction is increased</em> (option a. of the third question).

4. <em>Activation energy of the forward reaction is decreased</em> (option b. of the fourth question).

In summary, the addition of a catalyst decreases the activation energy for both forward and reverse reactions, and increases the rate of both forward and reverse reactions.

Cl2 and N2 react according to the following equation 3Cl2(g) + N2(g) rightarrow 2NCl3(g) If 4 L of a stoichiometric mixture of c
melamori03 [73]

Answer:

Volume of NCl3 is 3L

Explanation:

Avogadro states: All gases at the same volume under temperature and pressure constant have the same number of moles.

The chemical equation is:

3Cl2(g) + N2(g) → 2NCl3(g)

Where 3 moles of chlorine reacts with 1 mole of nitrogen to produce 2 moles of NCl3.

But using Avogadros law we can say:

3L of chlorine and 1L of nitrogen produce 2L of Nitrogen trichloride.

3L of chlorine and 1L of nitrogen: 4L (The stoichiometric mixture)

That means, volume of NCl3 produced is 3L
