Stearic acid (C18H36O2) is a fatty acid, a molecule with a long hydrocarbon chain and an organic acid group (COOH) at the end. I

Paha777 [63]

Answer:

There is 9671 Kj of heat released

Explanation:

Step 1: The balanced equation:

C18H36O2(s) + 26O2(g) --> 18CO2(g)+18H2O(g)

This means for 1 mole of C18H36O2 consumed there is 26 moles of O2 needed to produce 18 moles of CO2 and 18 moles of H2O.

Step 2: Calculate the heat of combustion

ΔH (combustion) = [18*(ΔHf of CO2) + 18*(ΔHf of H2O)] - [1*(ΔHf of C18H36O2) + 26*(ΔHf of O2)]

ΔH (combustion) = [18*(-394 kJ/mol) + 18*(-242 kJ/mol)] - [1*(-948 kJ/mol) + 26*(0 kJ/mol)]

ΔH (combustion) = [(-7092 kJ/mol) + (-4356 kJ/mol)] - (-948 kJ/mol)

= -10500 kJ/mol

ΔH (combustion) = heat released / number of moles of stearic acid

Step 3: Calculate moles of stearic acid

moles of stearic acid = mass / Molar mass of stearic acid

moles of stearic acid = 262g / 284.48 g/mole = 0.921 moles

Step 4: Calculate moles of oxygen

moles of O2 = 914.5 / 32g/mole

moles of O2 = 28.578125 moles

Stearic acid is the limiting reactant: it will completely react

There will react 26*0.921 mole = 23.946 mole of O2

This means there will remain 4.63 moles of O2

Step 5: Calculate heat released

q = (ΔH combustion) * (moles of stearic acid) = (-10500 kJ/mol) * (0.921 moles) = 9671 Kj

There is 9671 Kj of heat released

Suppose the mole number of Ca2+ ions in a 50 mL water sample is quantified as 1.5 × 10−5 mol. What is the concentration of Ca2+

Anna11 [10]

$\frac{1.5x 10^{-5} mol Ca^{2+}}{50ml} ( \frac{1 mol CaC O_{3} }{1 mol Ca^{2+} } )( \frac{100,000 ppm}{1 molCaC O_{3}/L } ) \\ =0.0300234$

Briefly compare and contrast the relative resistance to ph change of the seven solutions

JulsSmile [24]

PH stands for "Potential Hydrogen" and the PH scale ranges from 0-14. PH refers to the ability to attract hydrogen ions.

The PH of a solution either indicates acidity of the solution or alkalinity of the solution. A solution which has PH 7 above is a base solution where a solution with PH less than 7 is an acidic solution.

Every organic molecules/compound contains carbon (c).

Some other very abundant are hydrogen, nitrogen, oxygen, phosphorus, and sulfur.

I learned this with the acronym CHNOPS.

C - Carbon

H - Hydrogen

N - Nitrogen

O - Oxygen

P - Phosphorus

S - Sulfur

Hope this helps!

How many liters of fluorine gas, at standard temperature and pressure, will react with 23.5 grams of potassium metal? Show all o

Sladkaya [172]

Potassium 23.5g/39.0983g/mol = 0.601mol

The Ratio of reactants is 2 to 1 so (0.601mol)/2 = 0.3005mol

Therefore 0.3005mol of F2 is needed to find liters use

formula V = nRT/P (V)Volume = 22.41L

(T)Temperature = 273K or 0.0 Celsius

(P)Pressure = 1.0atm

(R)value is always .08206 with atm n = 0.3005moles (273)(.08206)(0.3005)/1 = V V = 6.7319 Liters
