iren2701 [21]

Answer:  

1) Endothermic.  

2) Q_{rxn}=4435.04J  

3) \Delta _rH=15.8kJ/mol

Explanation:  

Hello there!  

1) In this case, for these calorimetry problems, we can realize that since the temperature decreases the reaction is endothermic because it is absorbing heat from the solution, that is why the temperature goes from 22.00 °C to 16.0°C.  

2) Now, for the total heat released by the reaction, we first need to assume that all of it is released by the solution since it is possible to assume that the calorimeter is perfectly isolated. In such a way, it is also valid to assume that the specific heat of the solution is 4.184 J/(g°C) as it is mostly water, therefore, the heat released by the reaction is:

Q_{rxn}=-(15.0g+250.0g)*4.184\frac{J}{g\°C}(16.0-20.0)\°C\\\\ Q_{rxn}=4435.04J    

3) Finally, since the enthalpy of reaction is calculated by dividing the heat released by the reaction over the moles of the solute, in this case NH4Cl, we proceed as follows:

\Delta _rH=\frac{ Q_{rxn}}{n}\\\\\Delta _rH= \frac{ 4435.04J}{15.0g*\frac{1mol}{53.49g} } *\frac{1kJ}{1000J} \\\\\Delta _rH=15.8kJ/mol

Best regards!

Need help asap with this chemistry if someone could help me
Burka [1]

Answer:

<h3>1)</h3>

Structure One:

  • N: -2
  • C: 0
  • O: +1

Structure Two:

  • N: 0
  • C: 0
  • O: -1

Structure Three:

  • N: -1
  • C: 0
  • O: 0.

Structure Number Two would likely be the most stable structure.

<h3>2)</h3>
  • All five C atoms: 0
  • All six H atoms to C: 0
  • N atom: +1.

The N atom is the one that is "likely" to be attracted to an anion. See explanation.

Explanation:

When calculating the formal charge for an atom, the assumption is that electrons in a chemical bond are shared equally between the two bonding atoms. The formula for the formal charge of an atom can be written as:

\text{Formal Charge} \\ = \text{Number of Valence Electrons in Element} \\ \phantom{=}-\text{Number of Chemical Bonds} \\\phantom{=} - \text{Number of nonbonding Lone Pair Electrons}.

For example, for the N atom in structure one of the first question,

  • N is in IUPAC group 15. There are 15 - 10 = 5 valence electrons on N.
  • This N atom is connected to only 1 chemical bond.
  • There are three pairs, or 6 electrons that aren't in a chemical bond.

The formal charge of this N atom will be 5 - 1 - 6 = -2.

Apply this rule to the other atoms. Note that a double bond counts as two bonds while a triple bond counts as three.

<h3>1)</h3>

Structure One:

  • N: -2
  • C: 0
  • O: +1

Structure Two:

  • N: 0
  • C: 0
  • O: -1

Structure Three:

  • N: -1
  • C: 0
  • O: 0.

In general, the formal charge on all atoms in a molecule or an ion shall be as close to zero as possible. That rules out Structure number one.

Additionally, if there is a negative charge on one of the atoms, that atom shall preferably be the most electronegative one in the entire molecule. O is more electronegative than N. Structure two will likely be favored over structure three.

<h3>2)</h3>

Similarly,

  • All five C atoms: 0
  • All six H atoms to C: 0
  • N atom: +1.

Assuming that electrons in a chemical bond are shared equally (which is likely not the case,) the nitrogen atom in this molecule will carry a positive charge. By that assumption, it would attract an anion.

Note that in reality this assumption seldom holds. In this ion, the N-H bond is highly polarized such that the partial positive charge is mostly located on the H atom bonded to the N atom. This example shows how the formal charge assumption might give misleading information. However, for the sake of this particular problem, the N atom is the one that is "likely" to be attracted to an anion.

A person walking covers 5.20 m in 10.4 s. How fast is the person moving?
salantis [7]

Answer:

<h2>0.50 m/s</h2><h2></h2>

Explanation:

Velocity = distance over time

where distance = 5.20 m

                   time = 10.4 s.

velocity = <u>  5.20  m </u>

                  10.4 s.

            = 0.50 m/s
