When a given reaction is conducted in a calorimeter, energy is absorbed from the surrounding water and results in a decrease in

the water’s temperature. Which of the following best describes the difference in the potential energy of the reactants and products in this reaction?
The potential energy remains low before and after the reaction.
The potential energy of the reactants is higher than that of the products.
The potential energy of the reactants is much lower than that of the products
The potential energy of the reactants does not differ from that of the products.

Answer: The potential energy of the reactants is much lower than that of the products

Explanation: Endothermic reactions are defined as the reactions in which energy of the product is greater than the energy of the reactants. The total energy is absorbed in the form of heat and \Delta H for the reaction comes out to be positive.

Exothermic reactions are defined as the reactions in which energy of the product is lesser than the energy of the reactants. The total energy is released in the form of heat and \Delta H for the reaction comes out to be negative.

Thus as the reactants have absorbed energy from the surrounding water, the energy of the products will be higher and the reaction is termed as endothermic reaction.

What volume of lead (of density 11.3 g/cm3 ) has the same mass as 395 cm3 of a piece of redwood (of density 0.38 g/cm3 )? Answer
Zepler [3.9K]
d_{1}=\frac{m}{V_{1}}\\\\
V_{1}=395cm^{3}\\
d_{1}=0,38\frac{g}{cm^{3}} \ \ \ \ \Rightarrow \ \ \ \ m=395cm^{3}*0,38\frac{g}{cm^{3}}=150,1g\\\\\\
d_{2}=\frac{m}{V_{2}}\\\\
m=150,1g\\
d_{2}=11,3\frac{g}{cm^{3}} \ \ \ \ \Rightarrow \ \ \ \ V_{2}=\frac{150,1g}{11,3\frac{g}{cm^{3}}}\approx13,28cm^{3}

A synthesis reaction takes place when carbon monoxide (CO) and hydrogen gas (H2) react to form methanol (CH3OH). How many grams
jek_recluse [69]

The mass of methanol produced is 8.0 g.

We have the masses of two reactants, so this is a <em>limiting reactant</em> problem.

We know that we will need a <em>balanced equation</em> with masses, moles, and molar masses of the compounds involved.

<em>Step 1</em>. <em>Gather all the informatio</em>n in one place with molar masses above the formulas and everything else below them.

MM: ___28.01  2.016 ___32.04

_______CO + 2H_2 → CH_3OH

Mass/g: 7.0 __2.5

<em>Step 2</em>. Calculate the <em>moles of each reactant</em>

Moles of CO = 7.0 g CO × (1 mol CO/28.01g CO) = 0.250 mol CO

Moles of H_2 =2.5 g H_2 × (1 mol H_2/2.016 g H_2) = 1.24 mol H_2

<em>Step 3. </em>Identify the<em> limiting reactan</em>t

Calculate the <em>moles of CH_3OH</em> we can obtain from each reactant.

<em>From CO</em>: Moles of CH_3OH = 0.250 mol CO  × (1 mol CH_3OH /1 mol CO)

= 0.250 mol CH_3OH

<em>From H_2</em>: Moles of CH_3OH = 1.24 mol H_2 × (1 mol CH_3OH /2 mol H_2)

= 0.620 mol CH_3OH

<em>CO is the limiting reactant</em> because it gives the smaller amount of CH_3OH.

<em>Step 4</em>. Calculate the <em>mass of CH_3OH</em>

Mass of CH_3OH = 0.250 mol CH_3OH × (32.04 g CH_3OH /1 mol CH_3OH) = 8.0 g CH_3OH
