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

Quis critérios foram usadps por dobereiner em sua tentava de organiza os elementos químicos?
anyanavicka [17]

Döbereiner grouped the known elements into <em>triads</em> (sets of three) so that

• The <em>atomic mass of the middle element</em> was approximately the average    of the other two

• The <em>chemical properties of the middle element</em> were between those of the other two

• The <em>physical properties of the middle element</em> were between those of the other two

One example of a triad is Li – Na – K.

(a) Atomic mass of Na = 23.0 u

       Average atomic mass of Li and K = (6.9 u + 39.1 u)/2 = 46.0 u/2 = 23.0 u

(b) Li reacts slowly with water. Na reacts rapidly. Potassium reacts violently.

(c) Melting point of Na = 371 °C.

       Average melting point of Li and K = (454 °C + 330 °C)/2 = 784 °C/2

       = 392 °C

What phenomenon does the Coriolis effect arise from making it so we see more than two large convection cells on Earth? Curvature
vredina [299]

Answer:

The Coriolis effect is caused by the rotation of the earth around its own axis.

Explanation:

The Coriolis effect arises from the fact that different latitudes of the earth's surface rotate at different speeds. The path of wind on earth is deflected by the Coriolis effect. As things move over the earth, they meet different speed areas, which causes the Coriolis Effect to divert their route.

Thus, The Coriolis effect is caused by the rotation of the earth around its own axis.

The maximum amount of nickel(II) cyanide that will dissolve in a 0.220 M nickel(II) nitrate solution is...?
sweet [91]

Answer : The maximum amount of nickel(II) cyanide is 5.84\times 10^{-12}M

Explanation :

The solubility equilibrium reaction will be:

                       Ni(CN)_2\rightleftharpoons Ni^{2+}+2CN^-

Initial conc.                        0.220       0

At eqm.                             (0.220+s)   2s

The expression for solubility constant for this reaction will be,

K_{sp}=[Ni^{2+}][CN^-]^2

Now put all the given values in this expression, we get:

3.0\times 10^{-23}=(0.220+s)\times (2s)^2

s=5.84\times 10^{-12}M

Therefore, the maximum amount of nickel(II) cyanide is 5.84\times 10^{-12}M
