How is enthalpy used to predict whether a reaction is endothermic or exothermic?

1 answer:

4 0

The value of enthalpy of a reaction can be a useful tool in determining the type of reaction it is. If the enthalpy is negative the reaction is exothermic and if the enthalpy is positive the reaction is endothermic. Hope this answers the question. Have a nice day.

PLEASE HELP!! Tell me the IUPAC name of the following compounds:

leonid [27]

The IUPAC rules are

a) Find out the longest chain of carbon in the given organic compound

b) We will name the longest chain.

c) We will identify the main functional group and will assign a suffix to the compound.

d) We will number the carbons in the longest chain selected so that the attached groups attain lowest numeral as substituent

e) We will name the side groups or chains.

5. What is the partial pressure of the remaining gas, if the total is 384 torr 2

alexgriva [62]

Answer: 83.11 torr

Explanation:

According to Dalton's Law of partial pressure, the total pressure of a mixture of gases is the sum of the pressure of each individual gas.

i.e Ptotal = P1 + P2 + P3 + .......

In this case,

Ptotal = 384 torr

P1 = 289 torr

P2 = 11.89 torr

P3 = ? (let the partial pressure of the remaining gas be Z)

Ptotal = P1 + P2 + Z

384 torr = 289 torr + 11.89 torr + Z

384 torr = 300.89 torr + Z

Z = 384 torr - 300.89 torr

Z = 83.11 torr

Thus, the partial pressure of the remaining gas is 83.11 torr.

The heat of fusion AH, of ethyl acetate (C4H802) is 10.5 kinol. Calculate the change in entropy as when 398. g of ethy, acetate

Hitman42 [59]

Answer: The entropy change of the ethyl acetate is 133. J/K

Explanation:

To calculate the number of moles, we use the equation:

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

Given mass of ethyl acetate = 398 g

Molar mass of ethyl acetate = 88.11 g/mol

Putting values in above equation, we get:

$\text{Moles of ethyl acetate}=\frac{398g}{88.11g/mol}=4.52mol$

To calculate the entropy change for different phase at same temperature, we use the equation:

$\Delta S=n\times \frac{\Delta H_{fusion}}{T}$

where,

$\Delta S$ = Entropy change = ?

n = moles of ethyl acetate = 4.52 moles

$\Delta H_{fusion}$ = enthalpy of fusion = 10.5 kJ/mol = 10500 J/mol (Conversion factor: 1 kJ = 1000 J)

T = temperature of the system = $84.0^oC=[84+273]K=357K$

Putting values in above equation, we get:

$\Delta S=\frac{4.52mol\times 10500J/mol}{357K}\\\\\Delta S=132.9J/K$

Hence, the entropy change of the ethyl acetate is 133. J/K
