Assuming that all the energy given off in the reaction goes to heating up only the air in the house, determine the mass of metha

ne required to heat the air in a house by 10.0 ∘C. Assume each of the following: house dimensions are 35.0 m × 35.0 m × 3.2 m ; specific heat capacity of air is 30 J/K⋅mol; 1.00 mol of air occupies 22.4L for all temperatures concerned.

Answer:

0.92 kg

Explanation:

The volume occupied by the air is:

35.0m\times 35.0m \times 3.2m \times \frac{10^{3}L }{1m^{3} } =3.9 \times 10^{6} L

The moles of air are:

3.9 \times 10^{6} L \times \frac{1.00mol}{22.4L} =1.7 \times 10^{5}mol

The heat required to heat the air by 10.0 °C (or 10.0 K) is:

1.7 \times 10^{5}mol \times \frac{30J}{K.mol} \times 10.0 K = 5.1 \times 10^{7}J

Methane's heat of combustion is 55.5 MJ/kg. The mass of methane required to heat the air is:

5.1 \times 10^{7}J \times \frac{1kgCH_{4}}{55.5 \times 10^{6} J } =0.92kgCH_{4}

N2O5 decomposes to form NO2 and O2 with first-order kinetics. The initial concentration of N2O5 is 3.0 M and the reaction runs f
kow [346]

Answer : The final concentration of N_2O_5 is, 2.9 M

Explanation :

Expression for rate law for first order kinetics is given by:

t=\frac{2.303}{k}\log\frac{a}{a-x}

where,

k = rate constant  = 5.89\times 10^{-3}\text{ min}^{-1}

t = time passed by the sample  = 3.5 min

a = initial concentration of the reactant  = 3.0 M

a - x = concentration left after decay process = ?

Now put all the given values in above equation, we get

3.5=\frac{2.303}{5.89\times 10^{-3}}\log\frac{3.0}{a-x}

a-x=2.9M

Thus, the final concentration of N_2O_5 is, 2.9 M

Which electron configuration represents the electrons of an atom in an excited state? * 2-3 2-7-1 2-8 2-8-1​
Lemur [1.5K]

2-7-1

<h3>Further explanation </h3>

Electrons can move the shell up or down by releasing energy or absorbing energy  

Excited electrons show higher electron transfer to the shell by absorbing energy  

So it can be concluded that there are 2 conditions:  

Ground state is the state of electrons filling shell with the lowest energy levels.  

Excited state is the state of electrons which occupies a higher energy level  

The state of excited electrons can be seen from the presence of electrons which do not fill the skin completely but fill the skin afterward  

2-7-1

From its 8 electron configuration, filling 3 shells, 2 electrons in the firs shell, 7 electrons in the second shell and 1 electron in the third shell

the electrons in the third shell should fill the electrons in the second shell first according to Aufbau rule (lower energy shells)

According to the Arrhenius concept, which of the following substances is NOT a base in aqueous solutionsA. NH3B. LiOHC. NaOHD. H
olga_2 [115]

Answer:

NH₃ (Option A)

Explanation:

Arrhenius theory explained that the acids are the ones that have H⁺, either H in its formula. Following this, the bases are the ones that have OH⁻ , either OH and its formula.

It can be used only with compounds with H, or OH.

So the ammonia is not a base, as Arrhenius theory.

It is known that ammonia behaves as a weak base, but it does not have hydroxide ions that can yield to water

How many grams of NaOH needed to completely neutralize 3L of 1.75M HCL
Sedaia [141]

Answer:

209.98 g of NaOH

Explanation:

We are given;

  • Volume of HCl as 3 L
  • Molarity of HCl as 1.75 M

We are required to calculate the mass of NaOH required to completely neutralize the acid given.

First, we write a  balanced equation for the reaction between NaOH and HCl

That is;

NaOH + HCl → NaCl + H₂O

Second, we determine the number of moles of HCl

Number of moles = Molarity × Volume

                             = 1.75 M × 3 L

                             = 5.25 moles

Third, we use the mole ratio to determine the moles of NaOH

From the reaction,

1 mole of NaOH reacts with 1 mole of HCl

Therefore;

Moles of NaOH = Moles of HCl

                          = 5.25 moles

Fourth, we determine the mass of NaOH

Molar mass of NaOH = 39.997 g/mol

Mass of NaOH = 5.25 moles × 39.997 g/mol

                        = 209.98 g

Thus, 209.98 g of NaOH will completely neutralize 3L of 1.74 M HCl
