Which choice is an example of an endothermic process?

77julia77 [94]

Answer: conversion of ice to steam

Explanation: Endothermic process is one in which energy is absorbed by the system.

Conversion of ice to steam is change of solid phase to gaseous phase, thus energy is required to break the strong inter molecular forces of attraction in solids to convert it into gaseous phase.

Conversion of steam to ice, conversion of steam to water and conversion of water to ice releases energy and are examples of exothermic processes.

HELP PLEASE (Solve this problem using the appropriate law). what is the volume of 0.382 moles of hydrogen gas at 1.50 atmosphere

kaheart [24]

Answer:

V = 6.17 L

Explanation:

Given data:

Volume = ?

Number of moles = 0.382 mol

Pressure = 1.50 atm

Temperature = 295 k

R = 0.0821 L. atm. /mol. k

Solution:

According to ideal gas equation:

PV= nRT

V = nRT/P

V = 0.382 mol × 0.0821 L. atm. /mol. k ×295 k / 1.50 atm

V = 9.252 L. atm. / 1.50 atm

V = 6.17 L

qaws [65]

The question is incomplete, here is the complete question:

There are two steps in the usual industrial preparation of acrylic acid, the immediate precursor of several useful plastics. In the first step, calcium carbide and water react to form acetylene and calcium hydroxide:

$CaC_2(s)+2H_2O(g)\rightarrow C_2H_2(g)+Ca(OH)_2(s)$

In the second step, acetylene, carbon dioxide and water react to form acrylic acid:

$6C_2H_2(g)+3CO_2(g)+4H_2O(g)\rightarrow 5CH_2CHCO_2H(g)$

Write the net chemical equation for the production of acrylic acid from calcium carbide, water and carbon dioxide. Be sure your equation is balanced.

Answer: The net chemical equation is written below.

Explanation:

The intermediate balanced chemical reaction are:

(1) $CaC_2(s)+2H_2O(g)\rightarrow C_2H_2(g)+Ca(OH)_2(s)$ ( × 6 )

(2) $6C_2H_2(g)+3CO_2(g)+4H_2O(g)\rightarrow 5CH_2CHCO_2H(g)$

To omit acetylene from the net chemical reaction, we multiply Equation (1) by 6.

Equation 1: $6CaC_2(s)+12H_2O(g)\rightarrow 6C_2H_2(g)+6Ca(OH)_2(s)$

Equation 2: $6C_2H_2(g)+3CO_2(g)+4H_2O(g)\rightarrow 5CH_2CHCO_2H(g)$

Net chemical equation: $6CaC_2(s)+3CO_2(g)+16H_2O(g)\rightarrow 5CH_2CHCO_2H(g)+6Ca(OH)_2(s)$

Hence, the net chemical equation is written above.
