Write a balanced equation for the complete combustion of solid palmitic acid. Remember that oxygen (O2(g)) is necessary for the

combustion to occur, and carbon dioxide gas and water are the only products. Use H2O(l) in the balanced chemical equation because the metabolism of these compounds produces liquid water. Express your answer as a chemical equation. Identify all of the phases in your answer.

Answer:

C₁₆H₃₂O₂ (s) + 22O₂(g) → 16CO₂(g) + 16H₂O(g)

Explanation:

In order to determine a combustion reaction we should know that:

Reactants are: X compound and O₂

Products are: CO₂ and H₂O

In this case, the X compound is the solid palmitic acid: C₁₆H₃₂O₂

The balanced equation will be:

C₁₆H₃₂O₂ (s) + 22O₂(g) → 16CO₂(g) + 16H₂O(g)

How much heat (kJ) is absorbed by 229.1 g of water in order for the temperature to increase from 25.00∘C to 32.50∘C?
hammer [34]

Answer:

(Q1) 9.42 kJ.

(Q2) 1.999 kJ

Explanation:

Heat: This is a form of Energy that brings about the sensation of warmth.

The S.I unit of Heat is Joules (J).

The heat of a body depend on the mass of the body, specific heat capacity, and temperature difference. as shown below

Q = cm(t₂-t₁) ........................ Equation 1

(Q1)

Q = cm(t₂-t₁)

Where Q = amount of heat absorbed, c = specific heat capacity of water, m = mass of water, t₁ = initial temperature, t₂ = final temperature.

Given: m = 229.1 g = 0.2991 kg, t₁ = 25.0 °C, 32.50 °C

Constant: c = 4200 J/kg.°C

Substituting into equation 1

Q = 0.2991×4200(32.5-25)

Q = 1256.22(7.5)

Q = 9421.65 J

Q = 9.42 kJ.

Hence the heat absorbed = 9.42 kJ

(Q2)

Q = cm(t₂-t₁)

Where Q = amount of heat required, c = specific heat capacity of water, m = mass of water, t₁ = initial temperature, t₂ = final temperature.

Given: m = 34 g = 0.034 kg, t₁ = 9 °C, t₂ = 23 °C

Constant: c = 4200 J/kg.°C

Q = 0.034×4200(23-9)

Q = 142.8(14)

Q = 1999.2 J

Q = 1.999 kJ.

Thus the Heat required = 1.999 kJ

If the pressure in the room is 759.2 torr and the vapor pressure of water is 23.8 torr, what is the pressure of hydrogen gas in
Gwar [14]

The partial pressure of Hydrogen gas can directly be calculated by simply taking the difference of the overall pressure and the vapour pressure of water. That is:

 

P (H2 gas) = 759.2 torr – 23.8 torr

<span>P (H2 gas) = 735.4 torr</span>

The equation below represents a double replacement/displacement reaction;
Naddik [55]
AB+XY->AY+XB
We know that the answer would be KCl because of the switching that takes place during a double displacement reaction. Just like Zn and MnO4 switched and combined, the remaining elements, K and Cl, will combine.
We know that the answer is simply KCl because both K and Cl have an ion of only +/-1, meaning when they cross, no suffixes are made, since their ions are only 1.
For example, if you combined Mg with Cl, you would get MgCl2, because Mg has an ion of +2.
