If 1.785 g of ethanol (CHCHOH) is burned in a constant volume calorimeter causing a temperature increase of 4.32C, then what is

the molar heat of combustion in units of kJ/mol of ethanol? (Heat capacity of the calorimeter is 9.49 kJ/C.)

<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

0.467 mol NaCl are needed to
Alisiya [41]

Answer:

27.4 gram is the solution it's simple dude...

Explanation:

don't be afraid of huge question they confuse you you need not to be confused

now see simple solution

molality is denoted by m

so

m= moles of solute / mass of solvent in kg.

i hope your know the meaning of solute and solvent....

so moles are given 0.467

and molar mass is given 58.44

so just take out the gram means

by applying formula

58.44×0.467

it will give 27.4 grams simple.....

Phosphorus-32 is radioactive and has a half life of 14.3 days. What percentage of a sample would be left after 12.6 days
nadya68 [22]

Answer:

There is 54.29 % sample left after 12.6 days

Explanation:

Step 1: Data given

Half life time = 14.3 days

Time left = 12.6 days

Suppose the original amount is 100.00 grams

Step 2: Calculate the percentage left

X = 100 / 2^n

⇒ with X = The amount of sample after 12.6 days

⇒ with n = (time passed / half-life time) = (12.6/14.3)

X = 100 / 2^(12.6/14.3)

X = 54.29

There is 54.29 % sample left after 12.6 days
