Answer:

Naphthalene is a non polar substance

Explanation:

In chemistry, the principle of like dissolves like is the over aching principle that controls the dissolution of one substance in another.

Naphthalene dissolves in diethyl ether because diethyl ether is a non polar solvent just as naphthalene is a nonpolar substance.

Since water is a polar solvent, it can not dissolves naphthalene at any pH because naphthalene is a nonpolar substance.

Given the three equations below, what is the heat of reaction for the production of glucose, C6H12O6, as described by this equat
UkoKoshka [18]

Answer:

- 1273.02 kJ.

Explanation:

This problem can be solved using Hess's Law.

Hess's Law states that <em>regardless of the multiple stages or steps of a reaction, the total enthalpy change for the reaction is the sum of all changes. This law is a manifestation that enthalpy is a state function.</em>

  • We should modify the given 3 equations to obtain the proposed reaction:

<em>6C(s) + 6H₂(g) + 3O₂(g) → C₆H₁₂O₆(s),</em>

<em></em>

  • We should multiply the first equation by (6) and also multiply its ΔH by (6):

6C(s) + 6O₂(g) → 6CO₂(g), ∆H₁ = (6)(–393.51 kJ) = - 2361.06 kJ,

  • Also, we should multiply the second equation and its ΔH by (6):

6H₂(g) + 3O₂(g) → 6H₂O(l), ∆H₂ = (6)(–285.83 kJ) = - 1714.98 kJ.

  • Finally, we should reverse the first equation and multiply its ΔH by (- 1):

6CO₂(g) + H₂O(l) → C₆H₁₂O₆(s) + 6O₂(g), ∆H₃ = (-1)(–2803.02 kJ) = 2803.02 kJ.

  • By summing the three equations, we cam get the proposed reaction:

<em>6C(s) + 6H₂(g) + 3O₂(g) → C₆H₁₂O₆(s),</em>

<em></em>

  • And to get the heat of reaction for the production of glucose, we can sum the values of the three ∆H:

<em>∆Hrxn = ∆H₁ + ∆H₂ + ∆H₃ =</em> (- 2361.06 kJ) + (- 1714.98 kJ) + (2803.02 kJ) = <em>- 1273.02 kJ.</em>

How many grams of 02 are present in 7.49 L of oxygen gas?
const2013 [10]

Answer:

10.70grams

Explanation:

Density of a substance = mass/volume

At STP of a gas (standard temperature and pressure), the density of oxygen gas is 1.429 g/L

Hence, according to this question, in 7.49 L of oxygen gas, there would be:

Using D = m/V

1.429 = m/7.49

m = 1.429g/L × 7.49L

m = 10.70g
