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

What is the metal cation in K,SO,? (cation is pronounced cat-ion and refers to a positively charged ion)
slamgirl [31]

Answer:

Potassium cation = K⁺²

Explanation:

The metal cation in K₂SO₄ is K⁺². While the anion is SO₄²⁻.

All the metals have tendency to lose the electrons and form cation. In given compound the metal is potassium so it should form the cation. The overall compound is neutral.

The charge on sulfate is -2. While the oxidation state of potassium is +1. So in order to make compound overall neutral there should be two potassium cation so that potassium becomes +2 and cancel the -2 charge on sulfate and make the charge on compound zero.

2K⁺²  ,  SO₄²⁻

K₂SO₄

How would you prepare 3.5 L of a 0.9M solution of KCl?
PolarNik [594]
V=3,5L\\
Cm=0,9M\\
M_{KCl}=74\frac{g}{mol}\\\\
C_{m}=\frac{n}{V}\\\\
n=\frac{m}{M}\\\\
C_{m}=\frac{m}{MV} \ \ \ \Rightarrow  \ \ \ m=C_{m}MV\\\\
m=0,9\grac{mol}{L}*74\frac{g}{mol}*3,5L=233,1g

B. Add 233 g of KCl to a 3.5 L container; then add enough water to dissolve the KCl and fill the container to the 3.5 L mark.
