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

user100 [1]
Let MM(x) be the molar mass of x.

MM(Pb) : MM(PbO)
=207.21 : 223.20  =  451.4 g : x g

cross multiply and solve for x
x=223.2/207.21*451.4
= 486.23 g

Percentage yield = 365.0/486.23= 0.75067 = 75.07% (rounded to 4 sign. fig.)

Please help<br> Explain why a molecule that has polar bonds can be a polar molecule.
Zepler [3.9K]

Answer:

Explanation:

Well, obviously a molecule with polar bonds can be polar in itself. It's like saying I am an atheltic person who can just reach the basketball rim with my head and also I can dunk.

But if the question is how can a molecule that in non-polar have polar bonds, well, its because the polar bonds' dipole cancels each other out. It's like a tight rope. If a person pulls in one direction, it intuitively, the rope would go in that direction. However, if a person pulls in the other direction with the same amount of force, the rope stays still. This is the same case. Although molecules can have different electronegativities, the pull of electrons in one direction is cancelled out by a pull in the opposite direction, making the net dipole 0.

This is common for main VSERP shaped molecules like linear, trigonal planar, tetrahedral, trigonal bipyramidal, and octahedral.
