When 2.00 g of methane are burned in a bomb calorimeter, the change in temperature is 3.08°C. The heat capacity of the calorimet

er is 2.68 kJ/°C. The molar mass of methane is 16.042 g/mol. What is the approximate molar enthalpy of combustion of this substance?

Answer:

The approximate molar enthalpy of combustion of this substance is -66 kJ/mole.

Explanation:

First we have to calculate the heat gained by the calorimeter.

q=c\times \Delta T

where,

q = Heat gained = ?

c = Specific heat = 2.68 kJ/^oC

ΔT =  The change in temperature = 3.08°C

Now put all the given values in the above formula, we get:

q=2.68 kJ/^oC\times 3.08^oC

q=8.2544 kJ

Now we have to calculate molar enthalpy of combustion of this substance :

\Delta H_{comb}=-\frac{q}{n}

where,

\Delta H_{comb} = enthalpy change = ?

q = heat gained = 8.2544kJ

n = number of moles methane = \frac{\text{Mass of methane}}{\text{Molar mass of methane }}=\frac{2.00 g}{16.042 g/mol}=0.1247 mole

\Delta H_{comb}=-\frac{8.2544 kJ}{0.1247 mole}=-66.21 kJ/mole\approx -66 kJ/mole

Therefore,  the approximate molar enthalpy of combustion of this substance is -66 kJ/mole.

Does the model below represent a mixture or a substance ?
Vikentia [17]

Answer:

substance

Explanation:

A mixture is when two or more <u>different</u> atoms/molecules are together, but not joined.

A substance is when the <u>same </u>atom/molecule is in a group together.

In this example, it is a substance because it is comprised of the same molecule not joined all together. If you wanted a mixture, other colored atoms/molecule (e.g. add green atoms) would change it to this property.

Question 9 (1 point)
pantera1 [17]

Answer:

8 moles of C

Explanation:

From the question given above, the following equation was obtained:

3A + 2B —> 6C

From the equation above,

3 moles of A reacted to produce 6 moles of C.

Thus, the number of mole of C produced by reacting 4 moles of A can be obtained as follow:

From the equation above,

3 moles of A reacted to produce 6 moles of C.

Therefore, 4 moles of C will react to produce = (4 × 6)/3 = 8 moles of C

Thus, 8 moles of C can be obtained from the reaction of 4 moles of A with excess B

FrozenT [24]
A colloid has the particles that have the ability to scatter light called the Tyndall effect named after the scientist named Tyndall. A suspension has large suspended particles that settle out at the bottom of the container. A solution has small particles that are evenly distributed throughout. Hence the answer is choice 2.
