A chemist carefully measures the amount of heat needed to raise the temperature of a 278.0g sample of C5H12S from 0.8degree cels

ius to 15.9 degree celsius . The experiment shows that 8.46X10^3J of heat are needed. What can the chemist report for the molar heat capacity of C5H12S ? Be sure your answer has the correct number of significant digits.

Answer:

The answer to your question is    C = 2.01 J/g°C

Explanation:

Data

mass = m = 278 g

Temperature 1 = T1 = 0.8°C

Temperature 2 = T2 = 15.9 °C

Heat = Q = 8.46 x 10³ J

Heat capacity = C = ?

Process

1.- Write the formula to calculate the heat

        Q = mC(T2 - T1)

2.- Solve for C

        C = Q / m(T2 - T1)

3.- Substitution

         C = 8.46 x 10³ / 278 (15.9 - 0.8)

4.- Simplification

          C = 8.46 x 10³ / 4197.8

5.- Result

          C = 2.01 J/g°C

kozerog [31]
Properties of a solution that depend only on the ratio of the number of particles of solute and solvent in the solution are known as colligative properties. For this problem, we use boiling point elevation concept.

ΔT(boiling point)  = (Kb)mi
ΔT(boiling point)  = (0.51 C-kg / mol )(4.0 mol / 2.05 kg ) (2)
ΔT(boiling point)  = 1.99 C

T(boiling point) = 101.99 C

If water were a non-polar<br> Molecule
JulijaS [17]

Answer:

Water would not be able to transport nutrients -‐-‐ in plants, or in our bodies -‐-‐ nor to dissolve and transport waste products out of our bodies. ... Cohesiveness, adhesiveness, and surface tension: would decrease because without the +/-‐ polarity, water would not form hydrogen bonds between H20 molecules.

Bananas Foster is an example of a dessert that is flambéed. A Bananas Foster label states the accepted number of Calories to be
WINSTONCH [101]

Answer:

6.00%

Explanation:

Step 1: Given data

Accepted value for the number of calories in a Bananas Foster: 300 calories

Measured value for the number of calories in a Bananas Foster: 318 calories

Step 2: Calculate the percent error in the measure

We will use the following expression.

%error = |accepted value - experimental value|/ accepted value × 100%

%error = |300 cal - 318 cal|/ 300 cal × 100% = 6.00%

PCl3(g) + Cl2(g) ⇋ PCl5(g) Kc = 91.0 at 400 K. What is the [Cl2] at equilibrium if the initial concentrations were 0.24 M for PC
Dmitry_Shevchenko [17]

Answer:

[Cl₂] in equilibrium is 1.26 M

Explanation:

This is the equilibrium:

PCl₃(g) + Cl₂(g) ⇋ PCl₅(g)

Kc = 91

So let's analyse, all the process:

                PCl₃(g)        +        Cl₂(g)     ⇋        PCl₅(g)

Initially     0.24 M                 1.50M                 0.12 M

React           x                           x                         x

Some amount of compound has reacted during the process.

In equilibrium we have

              0.24 - x                  1.50 - x                  0.12 + x

As initially we have moles of product, in equilibrium we have to sum them.

Let's make the expression for Kc

Kc = [PCl₅] / [Cl₂] . [PCl₃]

91 = (0.12 + x) / (0.24 - x) ( 1.50 - x)

91 = (0.12 + x) / (0.36 - 0.24x - 1.5x + x²)          

91 (0.36 - 0.24x - 1.5x + x²) = (0.12 + x)

32.76 - 158.34x + 91x² = 0.12 +x

32.64 - 159.34x + 91x² = 0

This a quadratic function:

a = 91; b= -159.34; c = 32.64

(-b +- √(b² - 4ac)) / 2a

Solution 1 = 1.5

Solution 2 = 0.23 (This is our value)

So [Cl₂] in equilibrium is 1.50 - 0.23 = 1.26 M
