Answer:

4.13 g

Explanation:

Data Given:

Amount of CO₂ Produced = 15 g

Amount of Oxygen = 11 g

Amount of Carbon used = ?

Solution:

Suppose Carbon dioxide (CO₂) is formed by the reaction of carbon and oxygen then the reaction will be as below

                            C   +   O₂    -------------> CO₂

                          1 mol    1 mol                  1 mol

we come to know from the above reaction that

1 mole of carbon react with 1 mole of oxygen to produce 1 mol of carbon dioxide.

molar mass of C = 12 g/mol

molar mass of O₂ = 32 g/mol

molar mass of CO₂ = 12 + 2(16) = 44 g/mol

if we represent mole in grams then

           C               +                        O₂                     ------------->        CO                 1 mol (12 g/mol)                      1 mol (32 g/mol)                      1 mol (44 g/mol)

                   

              C   +   O₂    -------------> CO₂

            12 g       32 g                   44 g

So,

we come to know that 32 g of Oxygen combine with 12 g  of oxygen produce 44 g CO₂

So now how much of Carbon will be combine with 11 g of oxygen

apply unity formula

                32 g of  O₂ ≅ 12 g of  C

                  11 g of O₂  ≅  g of  C

by doing cross multiplication

           g of C = 12 g x 11 g / 32 g

           g of C = 132 g / 32 g

           g of C = 4.13 g

So,

4.13 g of carbon will consume to produce 15 g of Carbon dioxide.

to check this answer

we use the above information

                     12 g of  C ≅ 44 g of CO₂

                     4.13 g of C ≅  g of  CO₂

by doing cross multiplication

                    g of  CO₂ = 44 g x 4.13 g / 12 g

                    g of CO₂ = 15g

So it is confirmed that

4.13 g of carbon will consume to produce 15 g of Carbon dioxide.

stealth61 [152]

Answer : The value of \Delta H_{vap} is 28.97 kJ/mol

Explanation :

To calculate \Delta H_{vap} of the reaction, we use clausius claypron equation, which is:

\ln(\frac{P_2}{P_1})=\frac{\Delta H_{vap}}{R}[\frac{1}{T_1}-\frac{1}{T_2}]

where,

P_1 = vapor pressure at temperature -21.0^oC = 462.7 mmHg

P_2 = vapor pressure at temperature -44.0^oC = 140.5 mmHg

\Delta H_{vap} = Enthalpy of vaporization = ?

R = Gas constant = 8.314 J/mol K

T_1 = initial temperature = -21.0^oC=[-21.0+273]K=252K

T_2 = final temperature = 45^oC=[-41.0+273]K=232K

Putting values in above equation, we get:

\ln(\frac{140.5mmHg}{462.7mmHg})=\frac{\Delta H_{vap}}{8.314J/mol.K}[\frac{1}{252}-\frac{1}{232}]\\\\\Delta H_{vap}=28966.6J/mol=28.97kJ/mol

Therefore, the value of \Delta H_{vap} is 28.97 kJ/mol

What is the purpose of the periodic table?
Charra [1.4K]

Answer:

the periodic table is important because it is organized to provide a alot of information about elements and how they relate to one another in one easy-to-use reference. The table can be used to predict the properties of elements, even those that have not yet been discovered.

How did max planck contribute to the modern atomic theory?
Igoryamba

Answer:

Planck made many contributions to theoretical physics, but his fame rests primarily on his role as originator of the quantum theory. This theory revolutionized our understanding of atomic and subatomic processes, just as Albert Einstein's theory of relativity revolutionized our understanding of space and time
