Stearic acid (C18H36O2) is a fatty acid, a molecule with a long hydrocarbon chain and an organic acid group (COOH) at the end. I

t is used to make cosmetics, ointments, soaps, and candles and is found in animal tissue as part of many saturated fats. In fact, when you eat meat, you are ingesting some fats containing stearic acid. ( of C18H36O2 = –948 kJ/mol, CO2=-393.5kJ/mol, H2O=-241.826kJ/mol).
Calculate the heat (q) released in kcal when 2.831 g of stearic acid is burned completely.

The molar mass of stearic acid is 18*AC+36*AH+2*AO=18*12+36*1+16*2=284g/mol.

n=m/M=2.831/284=0.01 moles

C18H36O2+27O2-->18CO2+18H2O

we have 18*0.01=0.18 moles of CO2

18*0.01=0.18 moles of H2O

0.01*948=9.48kJ from stearic acid

0.18*393.5=70.83kJ from CO2

0.18*241.826=43.52kJ from H2O

9.48+70.83+43.52=123.83kJ

123.83*4.184=518.10kcal

There are 0.3 moles of xenon gas in a 0.5-liter container at 30 degrees C. What is the pressure exerted by the xenon gas
Kaylis [27]
PV = nRT
P = (nRT)/V
P = (0.3 mol × 0.08206 atm-l/(mol-K) × (273.15 + 30) K)/(0.5 l)
P = 14.9258934 atm

klasskru [66]

Answer:

P_4+5O_2\rightarrow P_4O_{10}

Explanation:

Hello!

In this case, when we want to balance chemical reactions such as in this case, the idea is to equal to number of atoms of each element at each side of the equation according to the lay of conservation of mass, just as shown below:

P_4+5O_2\rightarrow P_4O_{10}

Because we have four phosphorous and ten oxygen atoms at each side.

Best regards!
