It has been suggested that hydrogen gas obtained by the decomposition of water might be a substitute for natural gas (principall

y methane). To compare the energies of combustion of these fuels, the following experiment was carried out using a bomb calorimeter with a heat capacity of 11.3 kJ/oC. When a 1.50 g sample of methane gas was burned with excess oxygen in the calorimeter, the temperature increased by 7.3oC. When a 1.15 g sample of hydrogen gas was burned with excess oxygen, the temperature increase was 14.3oC. Compare the energies of combustion (per gram) for hydrogen and methane.

Answer:

Hydrogen: -141 kJ/g

Methane: -55kJ/g

The energy released per gram of hydrogen in its combustion is higher than the energy released per gram of methane in its combustion.

Explanation:

According to the law of conservation of the energy, the sum of the heat released by the combustion and the heat absorbed by the bomb calorimeter is zero.

Qc + Qb = 0

Qc = -Qb  [1]

We can calculate the heat absorbed by the bomb calorimeter using the following expression.

Q = C . ΔT

where,

C is the heat capacity

ΔT is the change in the temperature

<h3>Hydrogen</h3>

Qc = -Qb = -C . ΔT = -(11.3 kJ/°C) . (14.3°C) = -162 kJ

The heat released per gram of hydrogen is:

\frac{-162kJ}{1.15g} =-141 kJ/g

<h3>Methane</h3>

Qc = -Qb = -C . ΔT = -(11.3 kJ/°C) . (7.3°C) = -82 kJ

The heat released per gram of methane is:

\frac{-82kJ}{1.50g} =-55kJ/g

At sea level, where the pressure was 104 kPa and temperature 21.1 ºC, a certain mass of air occupies 2.0 m3 . To what volume wil
Romashka [77]

Answer:

The volume of air at where the pressure and temperature are  52 kPa, -5.0 ºC is 3.64 m^3.

Explanation:

The combined gas equation is,

\frac{P_1V_1}{T_1}=\frac{P_2V_2}{T_2}

where,

P_1 = initial pressure of gas = 104 kPa

P_2 = final pressure of gas = 52 kPa

V_1 = initial volume of gas = 2.0m^3

V_2 = final volume of gas = ?

T_1 = initial temperature of gas = 21.1^oC=273+21.1=294.1K

T_2 = final temperature of gas = -5.0^oC=273+(-5.0)=268 K

Now put all the given values in the above equation, we get:

\frac{104 kPa\times 2.0m^3}{294.1 K}=\frac{52 kPa\times V_2}{268 K}

V_2=3.64 m^3

The volume of air at where the pressure and temperature are  52 kPa, -5.0 ºC is 3.64 m^3.

What are the stages of the life cycle of the sun
Jet001 [13]
The Sun is currently a main sequence star and will remain so for another 4-5 billion years. It will then expand and cool to become a red giant, after which it will shrink and heat up again to become a white dwarf. The white dwarf star will run out of nuclear fuel and slowly cool down over many billions of years.
