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

Solid iron is mixed with a solution of copper (I) nitrate to form iron (III) nitrate solution and metal copper. (what is the equ
DedPeter [7]

Answer:

Fe + 3CuNO₃ → Fe(NO₃)₃ + 3Cu

Explanation:

  • Solid Iron = Fe
  • Copper (I) nitrate = CuNO₃ (Nitrate, NO₃⁻, always has a charge of -1).
  • Iron (III) nitrate = Fe(NO₃)₃ (That way the compound has an overall neutral charge)
  • Metal Copper = Cu

Writing the equation using symbols leaves us with:

  • Fe + CuNO₃ → Fe(NO₃)₃ + Cu

<em>It is not balanced yet</em>. Now we <u>balance the NO₃ species on the left side</u>:

  • Fe + 3CuNO₃ → Fe(NO₃)₃ + Cu

Finally we<u> balance the Cu species on the right side</u>:

  • Fe + 3CuNO₃ → Fe(NO₃)₃ + 3Cu

Calculate the amount in grams of Na2CO3 needed in a reaction with HCl to produce 120g NaCl?
klemol [59]
The balanced chemical reaction is written as :

Na2CO3<span> + 2HCl === 2NaCl + H2O + CO2
</span>
We are given the amount of NaCl to be produced from the reaction. This will be the starting point for the calculations. We do as follows:

120 g NaCl ( 1 mol / 58.44 g) ( 1 mol Na2CO3 / 2 mol NaCl)( 105.99 g / 1 mol ) = 1108.82 g Na2CO3 needed
