Answer:

1) Enthalpy of reaction per gram of quick lime or calcium oxide is -6.25 kJ/g.

2)4.730\times 10^6kilo Joules of energy is produced when 1 Tonn of slaked lime is produced.

Explanation:

CaO(s) + H_2O(l)\rightarrow Ca(OH)_2(s),\Delta H=-350 kJ/mol

Enthalpy of reaction = ΔH = -350 kJ/mol

1 mole of calcium oxide = 56 g/mol

1 ) Enthalpy of reaction per gram of quick lime or calcium oxide:

\frac{\Delta H}{56 g/mol}=\frac{-350 kJ/mol}{56 g/mol}=-6.25 kJ/g

2) Mass of slake lime = 1 Tonn = 1,000,000 g

Moles of slaked lime = \frac{1,000,000}{74 g/mol}=13,513.51 mol

According to reaction, on formation of 1 mol of slaked lime 350 kilo Joules of energy is produced.

Then energy produced when 13,513.51 moles of slaked lime is produced:

350 kJ\times 13,513.51 =4.730\times 10^6 kJ

4.730\times 10^6kilo Joules of energy is produced when 1 Tonn of slaked lime is produced.

Magnesium reacts with a certain element to form a compound with the general formula MgX. What would the most likely formula be f
ziro4ka [17]

Answer:K2X

Explanation: Valency can be defined as the combining power of an element. It is the valency that dictates the value an element will have when writing a chemical formula for its compound.

MgX is a compound of magnesium and an element X. The valency of magnesium in most of its compound is +2. Now for the 2 to have been absent in the chemical formula, this shows that the element X itself have a valency if -2 for the valencies of both to have canceled out.

Now considering the element potassium, it is an alkaline metal belonging to group 1 of the periodic table. Hence, it is expected that it has a valency of +1

Forming a compound with element X means there would be an exchange of valencies between the two. We have established that x has a valency of -2. The formula of the compound thus formed by exchanging the valencies of both element would be K2X

An unknown compound displays singlets at δ 2.1 ppm and 2.56 ppm in the ratio of 3:2. what is the structure of the compound?
olasank [31]

1) As can be seen from any 1H NMR chemical shift ppm tables, hydrogens which have δ values from 2ppm to 2.3ppm are hydrogens from carbon which is bonded to a carbonyl group. From this, we can conclude that our hydrogens belong to the type, but from 2 different alkyl groups because of 2 different signals.

 

2) So, one alkyl group is CH3 and second one can be CH or CH2.

 

3) If we know that ratio between two types of hydrogens is 3:2, it can be concluded that second alkyl group is CH2. 


4) Finally, we don't have any other signals and it indicates that part of the compound which continues on CH2 is exactly the same as the first part.

The ratio remains the same, 3:2 ie 6:4
