if burning wood causes the energy of the surroundings to increase by 12,000J what is the change in energy of the wood

Chemistry

Hitman42 [59]3 years ago

Due to the law of conservation of energy we know that the energy that heated the surrounding had to have come from the reaction which means that the wood (with oxygen since this is combustion) lost 12000J. The change in energy for the wood is negative. I hope this helps. Let me know if anything is unclear.

The reason is because IEs are usually reported from the neutral atom, that is, IE2 is the energy required to remove two electrons from a neutral Li atom, as above, rather than the additional energy required to remove one more electron from an Li+ cation.

A hamburger containing 335.4 kcal of energy was combusted in a bomb calorimeter with an unknown heat capacity. The temperature o
Zielflug [23.3K]

Answer:

Cv_{calorimeter}=18.4kcal/K

Explanation:

Hello!

In this case, since the combustion of the hamburger released 335.4 kcal of energy and that energy is received by the calorimeter, we can write:

Q_{hamburguer}=-Q_{calorimeter}

And the heat of the calorimeter is written in terms of the temperature change and the calorimeter constant:

Q_{hamburguer}=-Cv_{calorimeter}\Delta T

Thus, given the released heat by the hamburger due to its combustion and the temperature change, Cv for the calorimeter turns out:

Cv_{calorimeter}=\frac{-Q_{hamburguer}}{\Delta T} =\frac{-(-335.4kcal)}{18.2K}\\\\Cv_{calorimeter}=18.4kcal/K

Best regards!

How many molecules of water will be produced if 52.6 g of methane are burned?
dem82 [27]
When the balanced reaction equation of methane combustion is:

CH4 + 2O2 →CO2 + 2H2O

so, we can see that each 1 mole of methane combusted will give 2 moles of water as a product.

so first, we need to get the moles of methane =
                                         
                         = mass of methane /molar mass of methane 

                         = 52.6 g / 16.04 g/mol

                         = 3.28 moles

when 1 mol of methane produces→ 2 moles of water 

∴ 3.28 moles methane produces →   X moles of water 

∴ moles of water = 3.28 * 2 

                             = 6.56 moles

when each 1 mole of water has 6.02 x 10^23 (Avogadro's number ) individual molecules:

∴number of molecules of water = 6.56 * 6.02 x 10^23

                                                      = 3.9 x 10^24 molecules
