The enthalpy of combustion of naphthalene (MW = 128.17 g/mol) is -5139.6 kJ/mol. How much energy is produced by burning 0.8210 g

bazaltina [42]

The energy produced by burning : -32.92 kJ

<h3>Further explanation</h3>

Delta H reaction (ΔH) is the amount of heat change between the system and its environment

(ΔH) can be positive (endothermic = requires heat) or negative (exothermic = releasing heat)

The enthalpy and heat(energy) can be formulated :

$\tt \Delta H=\dfrac{Q}{n}\rightarrow n=mol$

The enthalpy of combustion of naphthalene (MW = 128.17 g/mol) is -5139.6 kJ/mol.

The energy released for 0.8210 g of naphthalene :

$\tt Q=\Delta H\times n\\\\Q=-5139.6~kJ/mol\times \dfrac{0.8210~g}{128.17~g/mol}~\\\\Q=-32.92~kJ$

In a nuclear reaction, the energy released is equal to 8.1 x 1016 joules. Calculate the mass lost in this reaction. (1 J = 1 kg

makvit [3.9K]

Use the formula E=mc^2
energy given=<span>8.1 x 10^16 joules
</span>speed of <span>light = 3.00 × 10^8 m/s
</span>
plug in the values we'll get mass=<span>9.0 x 10-1 kg</span>

Please help me with this basic organic conversion.<br>use the shortest way to do it

jonny [76]

Answer:

See explanation

Explanation:

This conversion must go through a sequence of steps as i have shown in the image attached to this answer.

The acetone is converted to propan-2-ol using LiAlH4, THF and acid. The propan-2-ol may be converted to propene by E2 elimination. Addition of HBr yields 2-bromo propane.

The Wurtz reaction converts 2-bromo propane to 2,3- dimethyl butane. This can be brominated in the presence of light to yield 3-bromo-2,3-dimethyl butane. Elimination of HBr using a base leads to the formation of the required product as shown.
