A bomb calorimeter has a heat capacity of 675 J/°C and contains 925 g of water. If the combustion of 0.500 mole of a hydrocarbon

increases the temperature of the calorimeter from 24.26°C to 53.88°C, determine the enthalpy change per mole of hydrocarbon.

<u>Answer:</u> The enthalpy of the reaction is 269.4 kJ/mol

<u>Explanation:</u>

To calculate the heat absorbed by the calorimeter, we use the equation:

q_1=c\Delta T

where,

q = heat absorbed

c = heat capacity of calorimeter = 675 J/°C

\Delta T = change in temperature = T_2-T_1=(53.88-24.26)^oC=29.62^oC

Putting values in above equation, we get:

q_1=675J/^oC\times 29.62^oC=19993.5J

To calculate the heat absorbed by water, we use the equation:

q_2=mc\Delta T

where,

q = heat absorbed

m = mass of water = 925 g

c = heat capacity of water = 4.186 J/g°C

\Delta T = change in temperature = T_2-T_1=(53.88-24.26)^oC=29.62^oC

Putting values in above equation, we get:

q_2=925g\times 4.186J/g^oC\times 29.62^oC=114690.12J

Total heat absorbed = q_1+q_2

Total heat absorbed = [19993.5+114690.12]J=134683.62J=134.7kJ

To calculate the enthalpy change of the reaction, we use the equation:

\Delta H_{rxn}=\frac{q}{n}

where,

q = amount of heat absorbed = 134.7 kJ

n = number of moles of hydrocarbon = 0.500 moles

\Delta H_{rxn} = enthalpy change of the reaction

Putting values in above equation, we get:

\Delta H_{rxn}=\frac{134.7kJ}{0.500mol}=269.4kJ/mol

Hence, the enthalpy of the reaction is 269.4 kJ/mol

Answer : The enthalpy change per mole of hydrocarbon is, 269 kJ/mole

Explanation :

Heat released by the reaction = Heat absorbed by the calorimeter + Heat absorbed by the water

q=[q_1+q_2]

q=[c_1\times \Delta T+m_2\times c_2\times \Delta T]

where,

q = heat released by the reaction

q_1 = heat absorbed by the calorimeter

q_2 = heat absorbed by the water

c_1 = specific heat of calorimeter = 675J/^oC

c_2 = specific heat of water = 4.18J/g^oC

m_2 = mass of water = 925 g

\Delta T = change in temperature = T_2-T_1=(53.88-24.26)=29.62^oC

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

q=[(675J/^oC\times 29.62^oC)+(925g\times 4.18J/g^oC\times 29.62^oC)]

q=134519.23J=134.5kJ

Now we have to calculate the enthalpy change per mole of hydrocarbon.

\Delta H=\frac{q}{n}

where,

\Delta H = enthalpy change = ?

q = heat released = 134.5 kJ

n = moles of hydrocarbon = 0.500 mol

\Delta H=\frac{134.5kJ}{0.500mole}=269kJ/mole

Therefore, the enthalpy change per mole of hydrocarbon is, 269 kJ/mole

Explain Wurtz reaction with an example ~​
Deffense [45]

Wurtz reaction is a special type of organic reaction involving the synthesis of aliphatic hydrocarbons from two molecules of an alkyl halide and two atoms of sodium in the presence of dry ether solution

Please bear in mind that wurtz reaction fails whenever tertiary alkyl halides are used.

An example of Wurtz reaction is given below:

2R – X + 2Na → R–R + 2Na + X−

<h3>What are organic compounds?</h3>

Organic compounds can simply be defined as those classes of organic molecules which contain carbon atoms covalently bonded to hydrogen atoms (C-H bonds).

Below are some few general characteristics of organic compounds:

  • All organic compounds contain carbon.

  • Most of them are flammable.

  • They are all soluble in non-polar solvents

  • Most organic compounds / substances are covalently bonded molecules

Some classes of organic compounds are:

  • Alkanes
  • Alkenes
  • Alkenes

So therefore, Wurtz reaction is a special type of organic reaction involving the synthesis of aliphatic hydrocarbons from two molecules of an alkyl halide and two atoms of sodium in the presence of dry ether solution

Perform the following metric conversions: Please explain bc I really dont get it at ALL !!!!
makkiz [27]

Answer:

0.2007 nm

3.57 cm

0.01478 g

8280000 pg

Explanation:

1)200.7 pm

1 picometer is equal to 0.001 nanometer.

1 nm = 1000 pm

200.7 pm× 1 nm / 1000 pm  = 0.2007 nm

2)0.000357 hm

1 hectometer is equal to 10,000 centimeter.

1 hc = 10,000 cm

0.000357 hc× 10,000 cm / 1 hc = 3.57 cm

3) 14.78 mg

1 gram is equal to 1000 milligram.

1 g = 1000 mg

14.78 mg × 1 g/1000 mg = 0.01478 g

4)8.280 µg

1 microgram is equal to 10⁶ picogram.

1 µg = 1000000 pg

8.280 µg× 10⁶ pg/ 1µg = 8.280×10⁶ pg or 8280000 pg

Octane has a density of 0.692 g/ml at 20∘c. how many grams of o2 are required to burn 17.0 gal of c8h18
german

156251.099 grams of O₂ are required to burn 17.0 gal of C₈H₁₈

<h3>Further explanation</h3>

Density is a quantity derived from the mass and volume

Density is the ratio of mass per unit volume

With the same mass, the volume of objects that have a high density will be smaller than objects with a smaller type of mass

The unit of density can be expressed in g / cm³ or kg / m³

Density formula:

\large{\boxed{\bold{\rho~=~\frac{m}{V} }}}

ρ = density

m = mass

v = volume

1 gal equal to = 3785.41 ml

then 17.0 gal = 17 x 3785.41 = 64351.97 ml Octane

grams Octane = ρ x ml

grams Octane = 0.692 g.ml x 64351.97

grams Octane = 44531.563

molar mass Octane (C₈H₁₈) = 114

mole Octane = grams : molar mass

mole Octane = 44531.563  : 114

mole Octane = 390.627

From the reaction

C₈H₁₈ + 25/2 O₂ ⇒ 8 CO₂ + 9H₂O

mole C₈H₁₈ : mole O₂ = 1 : 25/2

mole\:O_2\:=\:\frac{25}{2} \times\:390.627

mole O₂ = 4882.846

grams O₂ = mole x molar mass

grams O₂ = 4882.846 x 32

grams O₂ = 156251.099
