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.

The air inside a bicycle tire pump has 27 joules of heat conducted away from while 77.9 joules of work done are being done on it
tatyana61 [14]

Answer:

51 J

Explanation:

The air inside a bicycle tire pump has 27 joules of heat conducted away. By convention, when heat is released, it takes the negative sign, so Q = -27 J.

77.9 joules of work done are being done on the air inside a bicycle tire pump. By convention, when work is being done on the system, it takes the positive sign, so W = 77.9 J

We can calculate the change in the internal energy (ΔU) using the following expression.

ΔU = Q + W

ΔU = (-27 J) + 77.9 J

ΔU =  51 J

Match each part of the electrochemical cell with its function.
umka21 [38]

Hi!


The correct options would be:

1. Cathode - <em>reduction</em>

The cathode is the negatively charged electrode, and so has an excess of electrons. Cations (positively charged ions) are attracted to the cathode, and gain electrons to acquire a neutral charge. The process in which a gain of electron occurs is called reduction.


2. Anode - <em>oxidation</em>

The opposite occurs at the anode which is positively charged and attracts negatively charged ions, anions. These anions lose their electrons at the anode to acquire a neutral charge, and the process involving loss of electrons is known as oxidation.


3. Salt Bridge - <em>ion transport </em>

Salt bridge is a physical connection between the the anodic and cathodic half cells in an electrochemical cell and is a pathway that facilitates the flow of ions back and forth these half cells. Salt bridge is involved in maintaining a neutral condition in the electrochemical cells, and its absence would result in the accumulation of positive charge in the anodic cell, and negative charge in the cathodic cell.


4. Wire - <em>electron transport </em>

Wires have a universal role of being a pathway for the transport of electrons in circuit. This role is also the same in the wires involved in an electrochemical cells where they are used to transport electrons from the anodic half cell, and this electron transport results in the generation of electricity in the internal circuit of the electrochemical cell.


Hope this helps!
