Nitrogen makes about 78% of the air we breathe. Nitrogen is extremely important in living things. <span>It forms the building blocks of proteins. We need proteins because they make up our skin and hair. Proteins also help us digest food. We get our nitrogen from plants, and plants get it from bacteria in the soil. Our atmosphere provides life with the nitrogen it needs.</span>

In caves, dripping groundwater containing calcium bicarbonate can form stalactites and stalagmites. When the water is exposed to
Pepsi [2]
This is a chemical change because there is a new substance that was created and the new chemical can cause other chemical reaction to happen compared to the 1st state of chemical that was in the cave. Because the cave water was exposed to another environment, the calcium bicarbonate, which is also known as salt. When the cave's groundwater was exposed to a different environment the atom in the cave water rearranged and crystallized.

Using the following thermochemical equation, determine the amount of heat produced per kg of CO2 formed during the combustion of
Arisa [49]

Answer:  12033 kJ of heat produced per kg of CO_2 formed during the combustion of benzene

Explanation:

The balanced chemical equation for combustion of benzene is :

2C_6H_6(l)+15O_2(g)\rightarrow 12CO_2(g)+6H_2O(g)  \Delta H°rxn = -6278 kJ

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.

\text{Moles of }CO_2=\frac{\text{given mass}}{\text{Molar Mass}}=\frac{1000g}{44g/mol}=23mol      (1kg=1000g)

According to stoichiometry :

12 moles of CO_2 on combustion produce heat = 6278 kJ

Thus 23 mole of CO_2 on combustion produce heat =\frac{6278}{12}\times 23=12033kJ

Thus 12033 kJ of heat produced per kg of CO_2 formed during the combustion of benzene

Can someone please help me with this?--20 pts!
katrin2010 [14]

Answer:

Compound B is ionic. The electronegativity difference is 2.2, which can be determined by subtracting the electronegativity of Element Y from that of Element Z. Electronegativity differences greater than 1.7 indicate ionic bonds.

Hope that helps.
