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

Goryan [66]
Half life is the time taken by a radioactive isotope to decay by half its original mass. 
The original mass is 200 g
Time taken is 60 hours
Final mass is 25 g
Therefore;
Final mass = Original mass × (1/2)^n; where n is the number of half lives.
25 = 200 (1/2)^n
1/8 = (1/2)^n
    n = 3 
Three half lives = 60 hours
1 half lives = 20 hours
Therefore; the half life of the radioactive nucleus is 20 hours

It takes 338. kJ/mom to break a carbon-chlorine single bond. Calculate the maximum wavelength of light for which a carbon-chlori
Vesnalui [34]

Answer: The maximum wavelength of light for which a carbon-chlorine Single bond could be broken by absorbing a single photon is 354 nm

Explanation:

The relation between energy and wavelength of light is given by Planck's equation, which is:

E=\frac{Nhc}{\lambda}

where,

E = energy of the light  = 338kJ=338000J    (1kJ=1000J)

N= avogadro's number

h = Planck's constant

c = speed of light

\lambda = wavelength of light

338\times 1000J=\frac{6.023\times 10^{23}\times 6.6\times 10^{-34}\times 3\times 10^{8}}{\lambda}    

{\lambda}=0.354\times 10^{-6}m=354nm     (1nm=10^{-9}m

Thus the maximum wavelength is 354 nm
