A 1.8 g sample of octane C8H18 was burned in a bomb calorimeter and the temperature of 100 g of water increased from 21.36 C to

28.78 C. Heat capacity of water is 4.18 J/g C. What is the heat of combustion per gram of octane? Per mole of octane?

Answer:

HEAT OF COMBUSTION PER GRAM OF OCTANE IS 1723.08 J OR 1.72 KJ/G OF HEAT

HEAT OFF COMBUSTION PER MOLE OF OCTANE IS 196.4 KJ/ MOL OF HEAT

Explanation:

Mass of water = 100 g

Change in temperature = 28.78 °C - 21.36°C = 7.42 °C

Heat capcacity of water = 4.18 J/g°C

Mass of octane = 1.8 g

Molar mass of octane = C8H18 = (12 * 8 + 1 * 18) g/mol= 96 + 18 = 114 g/mol

First is to calculate the heat evolved when 100 g of water is used:

Heat = mass * specific heat capacity * change in temperature

Heat = 100 * 4.18 * 7.42

Heat = 3101.56 J

In other words, 3101.56 J of heat was evolved from the reaction of 1.8 g octane with water.

Heat of combustion of octane per gram:

1.8 g of octane produces 3101.56 J of heat

1 g of octane will produce ( 3101.56 * 1 / 1.8)

= 1723.08 J of heat

So, heat of combustion of octane per gram is 1723.08 J

Heat of combustion per mole:

1.8 g of octane produces 3101.56 J of heat

1 mole of octane will produce X J of heat

1 mole of octane = 114 g/ mol of octane

So we have:

1.8 g of octane = 3101.56 J

114 g of octane = (3101.56 * 114 / 1.8) J of heat

= 196 432.13 J

= 196. 4 kJ of heat

The heat of combustion of octane per mole is 196.4 kJ /mol.

Mass of water = 100 g

Change in temperature = 28.78 °C - 21.36°C = 7.42 °C

Heat capcacity of water = 4.18 J/g°C

Mass of octane = 1.8 g

Molar mass of octane = C8H18 = (12 * 8 + 1 * 18) g/mol= 96 + 18 = 114 g/mol

First is to calculate the heat evolved when 100 g of water is used:

Heat = mass * specific heat capacity * change in temperature

Heat = 100 * 4.18 * 7.42

Heat = 3101.56 J

The molecular formula for butane is C4H10. Determine the percent composition for
masya89 [10]

%Mass

Ar C = 12 g/mol, Mr C₄H₁₀ = 58 g/mol, Ar H = 1 g/mol

\tt C=\dfrac{4.12}{58}\times 100\%=82.8\%\\\\H=100\%-82.8\%=17.2\%

or

\tt H=\dfrac{10.1}{58}\times 100\%= 17.2\%

Consider the following reaction at 298K.
lakkis [162]

The true statements are;

  • K < 0
  • Eocel  < 0

<h3>What is a redox reaction?</h3>

We define a redox reaction as one in which a specie is oxidized and another is reduced.

Now;

Eo cell = cell potential = -0.13 V - (+0.34 V) = -0.47 V

n =number of moles of electrons = 2 mole of electrons

K = equilibrium constant

ΔG = change in free energy

Eo cell = 0.0592/n log K

-0.47 =  0.0592/2 log K

log K =  -0.47  * 2/0.0592

K = 1.3 * 10^-16

ΔG = -nFEo cell

ΔG = -(2 * 96500 * -0.47)

ΔG = 90.7kJ

Why does the titration of a weak acid with a strong base always have a basic equivalence point? Why does the titration of a weak
CaHeK987 [17]

Answer: Option (c) is the correct answer.

Explanation:

When a weak acid reacts with a strong base then it results into the formation of a basic solution. Hence, the resulting solution will always have a pH greater than 7.

Since, at the equivalence point number of hydrogen ions become equal to the hydroxide ions. Therefore, pH of solution will be about 7.

So at the equivalence point, the weak acid will get neutralized due to the addition of strong base. Therefore, it will lead to the formation of conjugate base.

As a result, the solution will become slightly basic in nature.

Thus, we can conclude that at the equivalence point, the acid has all been converted into its conjugate base, resulting in a weakly acidic solution because at the equivalence point, the acid has all been converted into its conjugate base, resulting in a weakly basic solution.
