Answer:

The correct option is C

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

The reaction is

C_{16}H_{32}O_2(g) + 23O_2(g) \to 16 CO_2(g) + 16 H_2O(l)

Generally \Delta  H  =  \Delta  U + \Delta N*  RT

Here \Delta  H is the change in enthalpy

\Delta  U is the change in the internal energy

              \Delta N  is the difference between that number of moles of product and the number of moles of reactant

Looking at the reaction we can discover that the elements that was consumed and the element that was formed is O_2 and  CO_2 and this are both gases so the change would occur in the number of moles

So  

\Delta  H  =  \Delta  U + [16 -23]*  RT

\Delta  H  =  \Delta  U -7RT

The  negative sign in the equation tell us that the enthalpy\Delta_r H would be less than the Internal energy \Delta_r U

How many grams of chlorine gas are present in a 150. liter cylinder of chlorine held at a pressure of 1.00 atm and 0. °C? Group
OlgaM077 [116]

Answer:

474 grams of chlorine gas are present in a 150 liter cylinder of chlorine held at a pressure of 1.00 atm and 0 °C

Explanation:

An ideal gas is a theoretical gas that is considered to be composed of randomly moving point particles that do not interact with each other. Gases in general are ideal when they are at high temperatures and low pressures.

The pressure, P, the temperature, T, and the volume, V, of an ideal gas, are related by a simple formula called the ideal gas law:  

P*V = n*R*T

where P is the gas pressure, V is the volume that occupies, T is its temperature, R is the ideal gas constant, and n is the number of moles of the gas.

In this case:

  • P= 1.00 atm
  • V= 150 L
  • n= ?
  • R= 0.082 \frac{atm*L}{mol*K}
  • T= 0 C= 273 K

Replacing:

1.00 atm* 150 L= n*0.08206 \frac{atm*L}{mol*K} *273 K

Solving:

n=\frac{1.00 atm* 150 L}{0.08206 \frac{atm*L}{mol*K}*273 K}

n= 6.69 moles

Being Cl= 35.45 g/mole, the molar mass of chlorine gas is:

Cl₂=2*35.45 g/mole= 70.9 g/mole

So if 1 mole has 70.9 grams, 6.69 moles of the gas, how much mass does it have?

mass=\frac{6.69 moles*70.9 grams}{1 mole}

mass= 474.321 grams ≅ 474 grams

<u><em>474 grams of chlorine gas are present in a 150 liter cylinder of chlorine held at a pressure of 1.00 atm and 0 °C</em></u>
