Valentin [98]3 years ago

Group names in the periodic table give clues about the metallic properties of the elements.
Metallic elements are found on the left side of the periodic table. A simple conception of metals describes them as a lattice of positive ions immersed in a sea of electrons.

Ethanol is added to gasoline because the oxygen it contains improves gasoline's burning efficiency. Its combustion reaction is g

Angelina_Jolie [31]

Answer:

A) Exothermic

B) (1) -410.5 kJ (2) -98.1 kcal

C) -976.44 kJ

Explanation:

A) By the value of ΔH (-1236 kJ), we can see that it's negative, it means that the heat is being lost by the reaction, and, because of that, the reaction is exothermic.

B) The molar mass of ethanol is 46.07 g/mol, so, at 15.3 grams, the number of moles is:

n = mass/molar mass

n = 15.3/46.07

n = 0.3321 mol

By the equation

1 mol of ethanol ----------------------- -1236 kJ

0.3321 mol of ethanol ----------------------- x

By a simple direct three rule:

x = -410.5 kJ

1 kJ --------------- 0.2390 kcal

-410 kJ ---------- y

y = -98.10 kcal

C) The molar mass of water is 18 g/mol, so the number of moles at 42.7 g is:

n = 42.7/18

n = 2.37 moles

By the equation

3 moles of water ----------------------- -1236 kJ

2.37 moles of water --------------------- x

By a simple direct three rule:

3x = -2929.32

x = -976.44 kJ

When 3.51 g of phosphorus was burned in chlorine, the product was a phosphorus chloride. Its vapor took 1.77 times as long to ef

kumpel [21]

Answer:

<em>molar mass of the phosphorus chloride = 138.06 g/mol</em>

<em></em>

Explanation:

<em>mass of phosphorus will be the same as mass of CO2, since it is stated that they are of equal amount.</em>

mass = 3.51 g

<em>lets assume that it took the CO2 1 sec to effuse, then the time taken by the phosphorus chloride will be 1.77 sec</em>

From this we can say that

rate of effusion of CO2 = 3.51/1 = 3.51 g/s

rate of effusion of the phosphorus chloride = 3.51/1.77 = 1.98 g/s

<em>From graham's equation of effusion</em>,

$\frac{Rc}{Rp}$ = $\sqrt{\frac{Mp\\}{Mc} }$

Rc = rate of effusion of CO2 = 3.51 g/s

Rp = rate of effusion of phosphorus chloride = 1.98 g/s

Mc = molar mass of CO2 = 44.01 g/mol

Mp = molar mass of the phosphorus chloride = ?

Imputing values into the equation, we have

$\frac{3.51}{1.98}$ = $\sqrt{\frac{Mp\\}{44.01} }$

1.77 = $\frac{\sqrt{Mp} }{6.64}$

11.75 = $\sqrt{Mp}$

Mp = $11.75^{2}$

Mp = <em>molar mass of the phosphorus chloride = 138.06 g/mol</em>
