Toluene, C7H8, is used in the manufacture of explosives such as TNT (trinitrotoluene). A 1.500 g sample of liquid toluene was pl

aced in a bomb calorimeter along with excess oxygen. When the combustion of the toluene was initiated, the temperature of the calorimeter rose from 25.000 °C to 26.413 °C. The products of the combustion were CO2(g) and H2O(l), and the heat capacity of the calorimeter was 45.06 kJ °C−1 . Write the balanced chemical equation for the reation in the calorimeter.

Answer:

The answer to your question is      C₇H₈  +    9O₂   ⇒   7CO₂  +   4H₂O

Explanation:

Data

Toluene   C₇H₈

mass = 1500 g

Excess Oxygen

Temperature 1 = 25°C

Temperature 2 = 26.413°C

Products CO₂ and H₂O

Heat capacity = 45.06 kJ/°C

Balanced chemical equation

            Toluene  +  Oxygen  ⇒   Carbon dioxide  +  Water

                    C₇H₈  +    O₂   ⇒   CO₂  +   H₂O

                 Reactants       Elements     Products

                        7               Carbon               1

                        8               Hydrogen          2

                        2               Oxygen              3

This reaction is unbalanced

                   C₇H₈  +    9O₂   ⇒   7CO₂  +   4H₂O

                 Reactants       Elements     Products

                        7               Carbon               7

                        8               Hydrogen          8

                       18               Oxygen              18

Now, the reaction is balanced

Usimov [2.4K]

Answer:

0.10M HCN  <  0.10 M HClO  <  0.10 M HNO₂  < 0.10 M HNO₃

Explanation:

We are comparing acids with the same concentration. So what we have to do first is to determine if we have any strong acid and for the rest ( weak acids ) compare them by their Ka´s ( look for them in reference tables ) since we know the larger the Ka, the more Hydronium concentration will be in these solutions at the same concentration.

HNO₃ is a strong acid and will have the largest hydronium concentration.

HCN  Ka = 6.2 x 10⁻¹⁰

HNO₂ Ka = 4.0 x 10⁻⁴

HClO  Ka = 3.0 x 10⁻⁸

The ranking from smallest to largest hydronium concentration will then be:

0.10M HCN  <  0.10 M HClO  <  0.10 M HNO₂  < 0.10 M HNO₃

What temperature in degrees c is the freezing point of water?
guajiro [1.7K]
The freezing point of water is 0° C. The Celsius (centigrade) scale is based off of water, with the freezing point at 0° and the boiling point at 100°. (Google will probably tell you this in 10 seconds, then you wouldn't have had to wait 7 hours!)
