Answer:

The specific heat of gold is 0.129 J/g°C

Explanation:

Step 1: Data given

Mass of gold  = 15.3 grams

Heat absorbed = 87.2 J

Initial temperature = 35.0 °C

Final temperature = 79.2 °C

Step 2:

Q = m*c*ΔT

⇒ Q =the heat absorbed = 87.2 J

⇒ m = the mass of gold = 15.3 grams

⇒ c = the specific heat of gold = TO BE DETERMINED

⇒ ΔT = The change in temperature = T2 - T1 = 79.2 - 35.0 = 44.2 °C

87.2 J = 15.3g * c * 44.2°C

c = 87.2 / (15.3 * 44.2)

c = 0.129 J/g°C

The specific heat of gold is 0.129 J/g°C

The enthalpy change of the reaction, ΔH = -311 kJ

Enthalpy change involved in the reaction of 300 g of CO = -10972.5 kJ

<h3>What is the enthalpy change for the reduction of ethyne to form ethane?</h3>

The enthalpy change for the reaction is obtained from the summation of the enthalpies of the reactions of the intermediate steps according to Hess's law.

The equation of the reaction is given below:

  • C₂H₂ + 2 H₂ → C₂H₆

The enthalpy of the reaction, ΔH = ΔH₁ + 2ΔH₂ + (-ΔH₃)

ΔH = {(-1299) + (2 * -286) + (1560)}Kj

ΔH = -311 kJ

The equation for the methanation reaction is given below:

3 H₂O + CO → CH₄ + H₂O

The enthalpy for the methanation reaction is as follows:

ΔH = 1.5ΔH₁ + 0.5*(-ΔH₂) + ΔH₃ + -ΔH₄

ΔH = (-483.6 * 1.5) + (0.5 * 221.0) + (-802.7) + (393.5)

ΔH = -1024.1 kJ/mol

Molar mass of CO = 28 /mol

Enthalpy change involved in the reaction of 300 g of CO = 300/28 * -1024.1 kJ/mol

Enthalpy change involved in the reaction of 300 g of CO = -10972.5 kJ

In conclusion, the enthalpy changes are calculated from the enthalpy values of the  intermediate reactions.

What is the shape of graphite​
VashaNatasha [74]

Answer:

The molecular formula lists the symbol of each element within the compound followed by a number (usually in subscript). The letter and number indicate how many of each type of element are in the compound. If there is only one atom of a particular element, then no number is written after the element.
