Answer:

Q = -17,200 Kj/mole = -1.72 x 10⁴ Kj/mol

Explanation:

Calorimeter Equation => Q = Cv·ΔT

For the 0.1018 gram sample of organic compound burned in calorimeter ...

Cv = calorimeter heat capacity at constant volume = 2.95 Kj/K (Cv is typically supplied by manufacturer of the calorimeter as a standard for the instrument).

ΔT = temperature change experienced by calorimeter water in Kelvin (K) values = +2.63 K (NOTE => increasing (+) temp indicates heat flow from sample to calorimeter water => Exothermic Rxn).

Q(for 0.1018g sample) = (2.95 Kj/K)(2.63 K) = 7.7585 Kj

Converting to Kj/mole => divide the sample heat value (7.7585 Kj) by moles of sample used => moles of sample = mass/molar mass.

Moles of Organic Sample = 0.1018g/225.4g·mol⁻¹ = 4.52x10⁻⁴ mole

∴ Q(kj/mole) = Q/n = 7.7585 Kj/4.52x10⁻⁴mole = 1.72x10⁴ Kj/mole (exothermic)*

*Why 'exothermic'? => Since the reaction was carried out in a bomb calorimeter the energy flow of the reaction is measured in terms of a temperature change. The problem dialogue indicates 'increased' temp. by 2.63 K. This indicates the sample, upon burning, was releasing heat energy into the surroundings. That is, the heat flow is toward the water jacket of calorimeter and away from the sample thereby heating the water and showing an increase in temperature. This type of heat flow is 'exothermic' with respect to the system sample and it's energy value is posted with a 'negative' sign to indicate heat loss during process. Therefore, the molar heat of combustion = -17,200 Kj/mole.

NOTE: Endothermic Reactions

For a notation in problems that the temperature measurement is discribed as decreased would indicate an endothermic reaction - heat flow from surroundings toward sample of interest. In such a case, a plus (+) signage should accompany the Q-value calculated. However, the problem in this post is 'exothermic' and should be accompanied by a negative (-) signage.

Explanation:

It makes the most sense, because non-metals don't produce an electrical current, and therefore aren't conductors.

Indicate how you might prepare acetic acid from ethene

ruslelena [56]

Acetic acid can be prepared from ethane by oxidizing it. Acetic acid is generally a carboxylic acid. These acids can be made by the oxidation of alcohols using potassium dichromate(VI) solution with sulfuric acid. Ethane is made into acetic acid in two steps. First it is formed into an aldehyde and then to acetic acid.

How many moles of methane are in 20.32 x 10^16 molecules

Marizza181 [45]

Taking into account the definition of avogadro's number, 3.37×10⁻⁷ moles of methane are 20.32×10¹⁶ molecules.

First of all, you have to know that Avogadro's number indicates the number of particles of a substance (usually atoms or molecules) that are in a mole.

Its value is 6.023×10²³ particles per mole and it applies to any substance.

Then you can apply the following rule of three: if 6.023×10²³ molecules are contained in 1 mole of methane, then 20.32×10¹⁶ molecules are contained in how many moles of methane?

amount of moles of methane= (20.32×10¹⁶ molecules × 1 mole)÷ 6.023×10²³ atoms

Solving:

amount of moles of methane= 3.37×10⁻⁷ moles

Finally, 3.37×10⁻⁷ moles of methane are 20.32×10¹⁶ molecules.

Rudiy27

Explanation:

For the given reaction:

Rate law says that rate of a reaction is directly proportional to the concentration of the reactants each raised to a stoichiometric coefficient determined experimentally called as order.

$CO(g)+2H_2(g)\rightarrow CH_3OH(g)$

$Rate=k[CO]^x[H_2]^y$

where x and y are order wrt to $CO$ and $H_2$

According to collision theory , the molecules must collide for a reaction to take place. According to collision theory , the rate of a reaction is proportional to rate of collision of reactants.

Thus with an increase in concentration of reactants , the rate of reaction also increases. This is because if the concentration of reactants increases , the chances of collision between molecules also increases and thus more products wil be formed which in turn increases the rate of reaction.
