Ethylene oxide (EO) is prepared by the vapor-phase oxidation of ethylene. Its main uses are in the preparation of the antifreeze

ethylene glycol and in the production of polyethylene terephthalate), which is used to make beverage bottles and fibers. Pure EO vapor can decompose explosively.
Liquid EO has ΔHf= -77.4 kJ/mOl and ΔHvap= 569.4 J/g.

a. Calculate ΔHrxn, for the gas-phase reaction.
b. Due to external heating, the vapor decomposes at 10 bar and 930°C in a distillation column. What is the final temperature if the average specific heat capacity of the products is 2.5 J/g°C?

Answer:

a. ΔH^0_{rxn} = -108.0\frac{kJ}{mol}

b. 320.76° C

Explanation:

a.)

we can solve this type of question (i.e calculate ΔH^0_{rxn} , for the gas-phase reaction )  using the Hess's Law.

ΔH^0_{rxn} =  E_{product} deltaH^0_{t}-E_{reactant} deltaH^0_{t}

Given from the question, the table below shows the corresponding  ΔH^0_{t}(kJ/mol) for each compound.

Compound                    H^0_{t}(kJ/mol)

Liquid EO                       -77.4

CH_4_(g_)                            -74.9                

CO_(g_)                              -110.5

If we incorporate our data into the above previous equation; we have:

ΔH^0_{rxn} = (-110.5 kJ/mol + (-74.9 kJ/mol) ) - (-77.4 kJ/mol)

          =   -108.0 \frac{kJ}{mol}

b.)

We are to find the final temperature if the average specific heat capacity of the products is 2.5 J/g°C

Given that:

the specific heat capacity (c) = 2.5 J/g°C

T_{initial} = 93.0°C   &

the  enthalpy of vaporization  (ΔH^0_{vap}) = 569.4 J/g

If, we recall; we will remember that; Specific Heat Capacity is the amount of heat needed to raise the temperature of one gram of a substance by one kelvin.

∴ the specific heat capacity (c) is given as =  \frac{Heat(q)}{mass*changeintemperature(T_{initial}-T_{final})}

Let's not forget as well, that  ΔH^0_{vap} = \frac{q}{mass}

If we substitute  ΔH^0_{vap}  for  \frac{q}{mass} in the above equation, we have;

specific heat capacity (c) = \frac{deltaH^0_{vap}}{T_{final}-T_{initial}}

Making (T_{final}- T_{initial}) the subject of the formula; we have:

T_{final}- T_{initial}  = \frac{delat H^0_{vap}}{specificheat capacity}

(T_{final}-93.0^0C)=\frac{569.4J/g}{2.5J/g^0C}

T_{final}=\frac{569.4J/g}{2.5J/g^0C}+93.0^0C

         = 227.76°C +93.0°C

          = 320.76°C

∴ we can thereby conclude that the final temperature = 320.76°C

Think about agriculture research which of the following statements is accurate?
irina [24]

A.genetic modification of food helps it grow more easily in certain areas

Explanation:

The statement genetic modification of food helps it grow more easily in certain areas is a form of agricultural research that is very accurate.

Genetically modifying food is common practice in order to encourage desirable and sustainable traits in plant species.

  • Drought resistant breeds can tolerate a much lower level of water in some specific areas.
  • Disease resistant breeds are more adapted to outbreaks of plant epidemics.
  • Overall, genetic modification of food helps them to grow and produce better.

An example of a secondary alcohol is *
mojhsa [17]

Answer:

The answer to your question is the letter B

Explanation:

I will draw the skeletal structures of these compounds to determine which alcohol is secondary.

Secondary alcohol is alcohol in which the hydroxyl group is attached to a secondary alcohol.

Letter A has primary and secondary alcohol so I discard this choice.

Letter B has secondary alcohol, so this is the correct choice.

The letter C has a primary and 2 secondary alcohols so I discard this choice.

Provide a balanced molecular equation, total ionic, and net ionic equation for sodium phosphate and zinc acetate.
vivado [14]

Answer: Balanced molecular equation :

2Na_3PO_4(aq)+3(CH_3COO)_2Zn(aq)\rightarrow 6CH_3COONa(aq)+Zn_3(PO_4)_2(s)

Total ionic equation:

6Na^+(aq)+3PO_4^{2-}(aq)+6CH_3COO^-(aq)+3Zn^{2+}(aq)\rightarrow 6CH_3COO^-(aq)+6Na^+(aq)+Zn_3(PO_4)_2(s)  

The net ionic equation:

2PO_4^{3-}(aq)+3Zn^{2+}(aq)\rightarrow Zn_3(PO_4)_2(s)

Explanation:

Complete ionic equation : In complete ionic equation, all the substances that are strong electrolyte are present in an aqueous state as ions.

Net ionic equation : In the net ionic equations, we are not include the spectator ions in the equations.

Spectator ions : The ions present on reactant and product side which do not participate in a reactions. The same ions present on both the sides.

When sodium phosphate and zinc acetate then it gives zinc phosphate and sodium acetate as  product.

The balanced molecular equation will be,

2Na_3PO_4(aq)+3(CH_3COO)_2Zn(aq)\rightarrow 6CH_3COONa(aq)+Zn_3(PO_4)_2(s)

The total ionic equation in separated aqueous solution will be,

6Na^+(aq)+2PO_4^{3-}(aq)+6CH_3COO^-(aq)+3Zn^{2+}(aq)\rightarrow 6CH_3COO^-(aq)+6Na^+(aq)+Zn_3(PO_4)_2(s)

In this equation, and  are the spectator ions.

By removing the spectator ions from the balanced ionic equation, we get the net ionic equation.

The net ionic equation will be,

2PO_4^{3-}(aq)+3Zn^{2+}(aq)\rightarrow Zn_3(PO_4)_2(s)
