<u>Answer:</u> The enthalpy of the reaction is -1056.44 kJ

<u>Explanation:</u>

To calculate the heat absorbed by the calorimeter, we use the equation:

q=c\Delta T

where,

q = heat absorbed

c = heat capacity of calorimeter = 9.49 kJ/°C

\Delta T = change in temperature =  4.32°C

Putting values in above equation, we get:

q=9.49kJ/^oC\times 4.32^oC=40.99kJ

Heat absorbed by the calorimeter will be equal to the heat released by the reaction.

<u>Sign convention of heat:</u>

When heat is absorbed, the sign of heat is taken to be positive and when heat is released, the sign of heat is taken to be negative.

To calculate the number of moles, we use the equation:

\text{Number of moles}=\frac{\text{Given mass}}{\text{Molar mass}}

Given mass of ethanol = 1.785 g

Molar mass of ethanol = 46 g/mol

Putting values in above equation, we get:

\text{Moles of ethanol}=\frac{1.785g}{46g/mol}=0.0388mol

To calculate the enthalpy change of the reaction, we use the equation:

\Delta H_{rxn}=\frac{q}{n}

where,

q = amount of heat released = -40.99 kJ

n = number of moles of ethanol = 0.0388 moles

\Delta H_{rxn} = enthalpy change of the reaction

Putting values in above equation, we get:

\Delta H_{rxn}=\frac{-40.99kJ}{0.0388mol}=-1056.44kJ/mol

Hence, the enthalpy of the reaction is -1056.44 kJ

You are given a sample of limestone, which is mostly CaCO3, to determine the mass percentage of Ca in the rock. You dissolve the
irakobra [83]

Answer:

34.15% is the mass percentage of calcium in the limestone.

Explanation:

Mass of precipitate that is calcium oxalate = 140.2 mg = 0.1402 g

1 mg = 0.001 g

Moles of calcium oxalate = \frac{0.1402 g}{128 g/mol}=0.001095 mol

1 mole of calcium oxalate have 1 mole of calcium atom.

Then 0.001095 moles of calcium oxalate will have 0.001095 moles of calcium atom.

Mass of 0.001095 moles of calcium :

0.001095 mol × 40 g/mol = 0.04381 g

Mass of sample of limestone = 128.3 mg = 0.1283 g

Percentage of calcium in limestone:

\frac{0.04381 g}{0.1283 g}\times 100=34.15\%

34.15% is the mass percentage of calcium in the limestone.

What mass of CO is needed to react completely with55.0 g of Fe2O3(s)+CO(g) yield Fe(s)+CO2(g)?
Katarina [22]

Answer:

28.9 g

Explanation:

We know that we will need a balanced equation with masses, moles, and molar masses of the compounds involved.  

<em>Gather all the information in one place</em> with molar masses above the formulas and masses below them.  

M_{r}:     159.69    28.01

              Fe₂O₃ + 3CO ⟶ 2Fe + 3CO₂

Mass/g:  55.0

1. Use the molar mass of Fe₂O₃ to calculate the moles of Fe₂O₃.

\text{Moles of Fe$_{2}$O$_{3}$} =\text{55.0 g Fe$_{2}$O$_{3}$} \times \frac{\text{1 mol Fe$_{2}$O$_{3}$}}{\text{159.69 g Fe$_{2}$O$_{3}$}}= \text{0.3444 mol Fe$_{2}$O$_{3}$}

2. Use the molar ratio of CO:Fe₂O₃ to calculate the moles of CO.

\text{Moles of CO} = \text{0.3444 mol Fe$_{2}$O$_{3}$} \times \frac{\text{3 mol CO}}{\text{1 mol Fe$_{2}$O$_{3}$}}= \text{1.033 mol CO}

3.Use the molar mass of CO to calculate the mass of CO.

\text{Mass of CO} = \text{1.033 mol CO}  \times \frac{\text{28.01 g CO} }{\text{1 mol CO}}= \textbf{28.9 g CO}

The coefficients in a chemical equation represent the
expeople1 [14]

Answer:

  • <em>The coefficients in a chemical equation represent the </em><u>relative number of moles of each reactant and product that interven in the chemical reaction.</u>

Explanation:

The <em>coefficients</em> are the numbers that you put in front of each chemical formula that represents the reactants and products in the <em>chemical equation</em>. They indicate the mole ratio in which the elements or compounds react to form the products, as per the chemical equation.

See an example:

  • Word equation: hydrogen and oxygen produce water

  • Chemical (skeleton) equation: H₂ (g) + O₂(g) → H₂O (g)

      This equation is not balanced: the  number of atoms of oxygenin the reactant side is 2 while the number of atoms of oxygen isn the product side is 1. In order to balance the equation you need to add some coefficients.

When no coefficients are shown it is understood that the coefficient is 1.

  • Balanced chemical equation: 2H₂ (g) + O₂(g) → 2H₂O (g)

The coefficients 2 in front of H₂ and 1 (understood) in front of O₂, in the reactant side, and 2 in front of H₂O, in the product side, balance the equation.

Those coefficients mean that the 2 molecules (or mole of molecules) of H₂ react with 1 molecule (or mole of molecules) of O₂ to form 2 molecules (or moles) of H₂O (product side).

That is the mole ratio: 2 H₂ : 1 O₂ : 2 H₂O.

Notice that, in spite of the aboslute numbers may change, the mole ratio is unique for any chemical reaction.  For example 4 : 2 : 4 is the same ratio that 2 : 1 : 2, or 8 : 4 : 8, but the most common practice is to use the most simple form of the ratio, i.e. 2: 1: 2.

How much water (H2O ) would form if 4.04 g of hydrogen (H2) reacted with 31.98 g of oxygen (O2 )?
Norma-Jean [14]

Answer:

Mass = 36 g

Explanation:

Given data:

Mass of water formed = ?

Mass of hydrogen = 4.04 g

Mass of oxygen = 31.98 g

Solution:

Chemical equation:

2H₂ + O₂   →   2H₂O

Number of moles of hydrogen:

Number of moles = mass/molar mass

Number of moles = 4.04 g/ 2 g/mol

Number of moles = 2.02 mol

Number of moles of oxygen:

Number of moles = mass/molar mass

Number of moles = 31.98 g/ 32 g/mol

Number of moles = 1.0 mol

Now we will compare the moles of water with hydrogen and oxygen.

                O₂         :         H₂O

                 1           :           2

                H₂         :         H₂O

                 2          :          2

               2.02       :      2.02

Number of moles of water formed by oxygen are less thus oxygen will limiting reactant.

Mass of water:

Mass = number of moles × molar mass

Mass = 2 mol × 18 g/mol

Mass = 36 g

For the titration of 25.00 mL of 0.150 M HCl with 0.250 M NaOH, calculate:
Leviafan [203]
1) Chemical reaction

HCl        +       NaOH      --->      NaCl + H2O

25.0 ml            
0.150 M            0.250M

2) 50% completion => 0.025 l * 0.150 M * (1/2) = 0.001875 mol HCl consumed and 0.001875 mol HCl in solution

0.001875 mol HCl => 0.001875 mol H(+)

Volume = Volume of HCl solution + Volumen of NaOH solution added

Volume of HCl solution = 0.0250 l

Volume of NaOH = n / M = 0.001875 mol / 0.250M = 0.0075 l

Total volume = 0.0250 l + 0.0075 l = 0.0325 l

[H+] = 0.001875 mol / 0.0325 l = 0.05769 M

pH = - log [H+] = - log (0.05769) = 1.23

Answer: 1.23

3) Equivalence point

0.02500 l * 0.150 M = 0.250M * V

=> V = 0.02500 * 0.150 / 0.250 = 0.015 l

4) 1.00 ml NaOH added beyond the equivalence point

1.00 ml * 1 l / 1000 ml * 0.250 M = 0.00025 mol NaOH in excess

0.00025 mol NaOH = 0.00025 mol OH-

Volume of the solution = 0.02500 l + 0.015 l + 1.00/1000 l = 0.041 l

[OH-] = 0.00025 mol / 0.041 l = 0.00610 M

pOH = - log (0.00610) = 2.21

pH + pOH = 14 => pH = 14 - pOH = 14 - 2.21 = 11.76

Answer: 11.76
