Acetylene burns in air according to the following equation: C2H2(g) + 5 2 O2(g) → 2 CO2(g) + H2O(g) ΔH o rxn = −1255.8 kJ Given

ΔH o f of CO2(g) = −393.5 kJ/mol and ΔH o f of H2O(g) = −241.8 kJ/mol, find ΔH o f of C2H2(g).

Answer:  -227 kJ

Explanation:

The balanced chemical reaction is,

C_2H_2(g)+\frac{5}{2}O_2(g)\rightarrow 2CO_2(g)+H_2O(g)

The expression for enthalpy change is,

\Delta H=\sum [n\times \Delta H_f(product)]-\sum [n\times \Delta H_f(reactant)]

\Delta H=[(n_{CO_2}\times \Delta H_{CO_2})+ n_{H_2O}\times \Delta H_{H_2O})]-[(n_{C_2H_2}\times \Delta H_{C_2H_2})+(n_{O_2}\times \Delta H_{O_2})]

where,

n = number of moles

\Delta H_{O_2}=0 (as heat of formation of substances in their standard state is zero

Now put all the given values in this expression, we get

-1255.8=[(2\times -393.5)+(1\times -241.8)]-[(1\times \Delta H_{C_2H_2})+(\frac{5}{2}\times 0)]

-1255.8=[(-787)+(-241.8)]-[(1\times \Delta H_{C_2H_2})+(0)]

\Delta H_{C_2H_2}=-227kJ

Therefore, the enthalpy change for C_2H_2 is -227 kJ.

Write the balanced chemical equation between H2SO4H2SO4 and KOHKOH in aqueous solution. This is called a neutralization reaction
const2013 [10]

Answer:

0.185M sulfuric acid

Explanation:

Based on the reaction:

H₂SO₄ + 2KOH → K₂SO₄ + 2H₂O

<em>1 mole of sulfuric acid reacts with 2 moles of KOH</em>

Initial moles of H₂SO₄ and KOH are:

H₂SO₄: 0.750L ₓ (0.470mol / L) = <em>0.3525 moles of H₂SO₄</em>

KOH: 0.700L ₓ (0.240mol / L) = <em>0.168 moles of KOH</em>

The moles of sulfuric acis that react with KOH are:

0.168mol KOH ₓ (1 mole H₂SO₄ / 2 moles KOH) = 0.0840 moles of sulfuric acid.

Thus, moles that remain are:

0.3525moles - 0.0840 moles = <em>0.2685 moles of sulfuric acid remains</em>

As total volume is 0.700L + 0.750L = 1.450L, concentration is:

0.2685mol / 1.450L = <em>0.185M sulfuric acid</em>
