It is a constant-volume type calorimeter that measures the heat of a particular reaction or measures the calorific value of the fuels. Bomb calorimeters are built in such a way that they can withstand the large pressure produced within the calorimeter due to the reaction or burning of fuel.
Using the law of constant proportions which says that within the same compound, elements exist in fixed ratios.
Therefore; we can use the ratio of total mass to the mass of carbon, to determine the amount of carbon in another sample.
Mass C / Mass CH4 = Mass C / Mass CH4
43.2 g / 57.6 g = Mass C / 37.8 g
Mass C = 37.8 g × 43.2 g / 57.6 g
= 28.35 g
Hence; the percentage of carbon will be;
=(28.35/ 37.8 )× 100%
= 75 %
Thus; 75% of 37.8 g of methane is carbon
The mass in grams of nitric acid that is required to react with 454g C7H8 is 932.72 grams
calculation
find the moles of C7H8 used
moles = mass/molar mass
= 454 g/92 = 4.935 moles
balanced reacting equation
C7H8 +3 HNO3 = C7H5N3O6 +3 H20
by use of mole ratio between C7H8 to HNo3 which is 1:3 the moles of HNO3 =4.935 x3 = 14.805 moles
mass of HNo3 = moles x molar mass
= 14.805 x 63 = 932.72 grams
part B
the mass of C7H5N3o6 = 2045.5 grams
calculate the moles of C7H8
= 829 g/92 g/mol = 9.011 moles
by use of mole ratio between C7H8 to C7H5N3O6 which is 1:1 the moles of C7H5N3O6 is also = 9.011 moles
mass of C7H5N3O6 is therefore = moles x molar mass
=9.011 x227 = 2045.5 grams
Answer:
option b. B3+
Explanation:
Boron takes the 5th position on the periodic table, therefore it has 5 electrons....2 on the inside and 3 on the outside. when it lost it 3 external electrons, it become positively charged with the amount of electron it loses.
