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

Write a balanced equation for the double-replacement precipitation reaction described, using the smallest possible integer coeff
ahrayia [7]

Answer:

NH4Br + AgNO3 —> AgBr + NH4NO3

Explanation:

When ammonium bromide and silver(I) nitrate react, the following are obtained as shown below:

NH4Br(aq) + AgNO3(aq) —>

In solution, NH4Br(aq) and AgNO3(aq) will dissociate as follow:

NH4Br(aq) —> NH4+(aq) + Br-(aq)

AgNO3(aq) —> Ag+(aq) + NO3-(aq)

The double displacement reaction will occur as follow:

NH4+(aq) + Br-(aq) + Ag+(aq) + NO3-(aq) —> Ag+(aq) + Br-(aq) + NH4+(aq) + NO3-(aq)

NH4Br(aq) + AgNO3(aq) —> AgBr(s) + NH4NO3(aq)

navik [9.2K]

Answer:

7 valence electrons.

Explanation:

Oxygen lies in period 2 and group 16 of the periodic table. It is eighth element on the periodic table. Its symbol is O.

Its electronic configuration is given by:

16 = 2,8,6

It has 6 valance electrons. Its valancy is -2. It means can share share and it can gain 2 electron to get stability.

Hence, The element oxygen has <u>7</u> valence electrons.
