Answer:

11.45kcal/g

2.612 × 10³ kcal

Explanation:

When a compound burns (combustion) it produces carbon dioxide and water. The combustion of 2-methylheptane can be represented by the following balanced equation:

2 C₈H₁₈ + 25 O₂ ⇄ 16 CO₂ + 18 H₂O

It releases  1.306 × 10³ kcal every 1 mol of C₈H₁₈ that is burned.

<em>What is the heat of combustion for 2-methylheptane in kcal/gram?</em>

We know that the molar mass of C₈H₁₈ is 114.0g/mol. Then, using proportions:

\frac{1.306 \times 10^{3}Kcal}{1mol} .\frac{1mol}{114.0g} =11.45kcal/g

<em>How much heat will be given off if molar quantities of 2-methylheptane react according to the following equation? 2 C₈H₁₈ + 25 O₂ ⇄ 16 CO₂ + 18 H₂O</em>

In this equation we have 2 moles of C₈H₁₈. So,

2mol \times\frac{1.306 \times 10^{3}kcal }{1mol} =2.612\times 10^{3}kcal

How does hydrogen bonding affect the physical properties of substances?
alekssr [168]
The melting and boiling point depend on the strength of the ihydrogen bonds. Hydrogen bonding will cause the higher the melting and boiling points because more energy is needed to break bonds between molecules.
Hydrogen bonds affect solubility in water, molecules with hydrogen bonds dissolve better in water.

Part A
Elden [556K]

Answer:

ΔG° = -5.4 kJ/mol

ΔG = 873.2 J/mol = 0.873 kJ /mol

Explanation:

Step 1: Data given

ΔG (NO2) = 51.84 kJ/mol

ΔG (N2O4)  = 98.28 kJ/mol

Step 2:

ΔG = ΔG° + RT ln Q

⇒with Q = the reaction quatient

⇒with T = the temperature = 298 K

⇒with R = 8.314 J / mol*K

⇒with ΔG° = ΔG° (N2O4) - 2*ΔG°(NO2 )

⇒ ΔG° = 98.28 kJ/mol - 2* 51.84  kJ/mol

⇒ ΔG° = -5.4 kJ/mol

Part B

ΔG =  ΔG° =RT ln Q

⇒with G° = -5.4 kj/mol = -5400 j/mol

⇒ with R = 8.314 J/K*mol

⇒with T = 298 K

⇒with Q = p(N2O4)/ [ p(NO2) ]² = 1.63/0.36² = 12.577

ΔG = -5400 + 8.314 * 298 * ln(12.577)

ΔG = -5400 + 8.314 * 298 * 2.532

ΔG = 873.2 J/mol = 0.873 kJ/mol

Heteropoly tungstate supported on tantalum oxide: A highly active acid catalyst for the selective conversion of fructose to 5-hy
horsena [70]

TPA catalysts based on tantalum oxide (Ta2O5) were produced and studied by FT-infrared, X-ray diffraction, Laser Raman, and temperature programmed ammonia desorption.

<h3>How did Lewis acidity induced heteropoly tungstate catalysts?</h3>

Heteropoly tungstate was synthesised and spread over tin oxide containing tantalum ions in its secondary structure. Different spectroscopic approaches were used to estimate the physical and chemical characteristics of the produced compounds. The inclusion of Ta ions in heteropoly tungstate resulted in the formation of new Lewis acidic sites. These samples were evaluated for their ability to catalyse the conversion of fructose to 5-ethoxymethylfurfural (EMF) and the selective etherification of 5-hydroxymethylfurfural (HMF) with ethanol. The catalyst with 30% active component on SnO2 had the greatest HMF etherification activity, yielding 90% 5-ethoxymethylfurfural in 45 minutes. The catalysts were also capable of converting fructose into EMF in a single pot with a 68% yield.
