1 calorie is equal to 4.184 Joules.
Alex777 [14]3 years ago
7 0

Answer:

4.184 Joules

Explanation:

Calories is an energy unit which is required to increase the temperature of 1 gram of water by 1 degree celcius at a pressure of 1 atm. On another hand, the joule is a energy unit which is relevant with the total energy exerted on an object when one newton force acts on that object over a distance of one meter. Joule is also one of the derived unit given in the International System of Units.

1 calorie of enegry is equal to 4.184 times the energy in Joules.

What is the value of delta Hrxn for this equation:
Ratling [72]

Answer:

The ΔHrxn for the above equation = 179 kJ/mol

Explanation:

The reaction bond enthalpies are for the reactant;

3 × N-H = 3 × 390 = 1,170 kJ/mol

2 × O=O = 2 × 502 = 1004 kJ/mol

The reaction bond enthalpies are for the product;

3 × N-O = 3 × 201 = 603 kJ/mol

3 × O-H = 3 × 464 = 1,392 kJ/mol

The ΔHrxn for the above equation is therefore;

ΔHrxn = 1,170 + 1,004 - (603 + 1,392) = 179 kJ/mol

How many moles of ScCl3 can be produced when 10.00 mol Sc react with 9.00 mol Cl2
Nuetrik [128]

Answer:

Moles of ScCl_3 = 6 moles

Explanation:

The reaction of Sc and Cl_2 to make ScCl_3 is:

2Sc+3Cl_2⇒2ScCl_3

The above reaction shows that 2 moles of Sc  can react with 3 moles of Cl_2 to form ScCl_3.

Mole Ratio= 2:3

For 10 moles of Sc we need:

Moles of Cl_2 = Moles of Sc *\frac{3 moles of Cl_2}{2 Moles of Sc}

Moles of Cl_2 = 10 *\frac{3 moles of Cl_2}{2 Moles of Sc}

Moles of Cl_2 =15 moles

So 15 moles of Cl_2 are required to react with 10 moles of Sc but we have 9 moles of Cl_2 , it means Cl_2 is limiting reactant.

Moles of ScCl_3=Given\  Moles\  of\ Cl_2 *\frac{2\  Moles\ o\ fScCl_3}{3\ Moles\ of\ Cl_2}

Moles\ of\  ScCl_3=9 *\frac{2\  Moles\ of\ ScCl_3}{3\ Moles\ of\ Cl_2}

Moles of ScCl_3= 6 moles

Cellular respiration uses glucose and oxygen, which have high levels of free energy, and releases carbon dioxide and water, whic
Alja [10]

Answer: Cellular respiration is spontaneous and exergonic. The energy released from the glucose is stored in ATP molelcules.

Explanation:

Spontaneous reactions have an increase in entropy (level of disorder) and a decrease in enthalpy (total energy). Cellular respiration goes from a more ordered state (one molecule of glucose) to a more disordered state (several molecules of CO2), and goes from a state with a lot of free energy to one with much less free energy. As a result, respiration is a spontaneous process.

As free energy from the glucose is released as ATP molecules during oxidation, the reaction is exergonic.
