How many kilograms of water at 15oC can be heated to 95oC by burning 143 grams of methane, CH4, assuming that 100% of the heat i

s used to heat the water. The heat of combustion of methane is 891 kJ per mole of methane. (The specific heat of water is 4.184 J/goC.)

Answer:

23.7 kg is the mass of H₂O that can be heated

Explanation:

First of all, we need to determine the heat used.

891 kJ per mol of methane is released in the combustion, but we don't have 1 mol, we have 143 g

We convert the mass to moles → 143 g . 1mol / 16 g = 8.93 moles

Now, a rule of three:

1 mol of CH₄ release a heat of 891 kJ

8.93 moles of CH₄ will release (8.93 . 891 kJ) / 1 = 7956.63 kJ

If we convert to J → 7956.63 kJ . 1000 J / kJ = 7956630 Joules

Now we determined the heat released, we can apply the calorimetry formula

Q = m . C . (Final T° - Initial T°)

7956630 J = mass . 4.184 J/g°C ( 95°C - 15°C)

7956630 J / 4.184 J/g°C . 80°C = mass

23771 g = mass

If we convert from g to kg → 23771 g . 1kg / 1000 g = 23.7 kg

How Do Glow Sticks Glow?
Gekata [30.6K]

Answer:

All liquid glow products depend on a chemical process known as CHEMILUMINESCENCE to produce their light. Chemiluminesence is a chemical reaction that causes a release of energy in the form of light. To produce this light the electrons in the chemicals become excited and rise to a higher energy level.

To utilise this process glowsticks contain two liquids; hydrogen peroxide and tert-butyl alcohol. When mixed together it is these liquids that create the glow. Fluorescent dyes are also used in the alcohol to alter the colour of the light emitted.

List one benefit and one limitation of using scientific models.
Schach [20]

“Models are developed when a scientist’s creativity and insight are combined with data and observations about many similar scenarios”. Models are used for a lot of things in science. As we know everything has advantages and disadvantages, and the same applies to models. Models help us illustrate the concept and formulate hypothesis. When models are used, the scientists are able to notice patterns and develop and revise representation that become a useful model, which makes their scientific knowledge stronger and helps them understand more about the nature of science. Models are a simplified representation. One of the biggest advantages of the model is, that it allows you to have a look at things which are too small such as atoms or too big such as the solar system.

 

Although, having many benefits, models have quite a number of disadvantages. Models sometimes oversimplify the process therefore leading to a misunderstanding. As models are supposed to be a simplified representation, they will not be complex, which means they will lack detail. For Example “our particle model explains many things about matter, it is not comprehensive — for example, it cannot predict why certain materials have different electrical properties. We could add further refinements that are outside the scope of this course to enable it to do so, but it would make our model so complicated that it would no longer be useful to us”
