Answer:

3000 kJ/kg

Explanation:

The calorific value of a substance is the amount of heat produced per unit mass by the combustion of the substance.

It is given by:

C=\frac{Q}{m}

where

Q is the amount of heat released

m is the mass of the fuel

In this problem, we have:

m = 60 kg is the mass of fuel

Q=180,000 kJ is the amount of heat released

Therefore, the calorific value of the fuel is:

C=\frac{180,000}{60}=3000 kJ/kg

1. Use the following equation:
fenix001 [56]

Answer:

7.28 mol

Explanation:

2 NaOH +  H₂SO₄ =  2 H₂O +  Na₂SO₄ -------------------(1)

mole fraction for the reaction is;

2 : 1 = 2 : 1

Number of moles of H₂SO₄ = 7.28 mol

1 mol of H₂SO₄ shall form 1 mole of Na₂SO₄

therefore,

7.28 mol of H₂SO₄ shall form 7.28 mole of Na₂SO₄

6. An environmental chemist needs a carbonate buffer of pH 10.00 to study the effects of acid rain on limestone-rich soils. To p
pishuonlain [190]

Answer:

[Na₂CO₃] = 0.094M

Explanation:

Based on the reaction:

HCO₃⁻(aq) + H₂O(l) ↔ CO₃²⁻(aq) + H₃O⁺(aq)

It is possible to find pH using Henderson-Hasselbalch formula:

pH = pka + log₁₀ [A⁻] / [HA]

Where [A⁻] is concentration of conjugate base,  [CO₃²⁻] = [Na₂CO₃] and  [HA] is concentration of weak acid, [NaHCO₃] = 0.20M.

pH is desire pH and pKa (<em>10.00</em>) is -log pka = -log 4.7x10⁻¹¹ = <em>10.33</em>

<em />

Replacing these values:

10.00 = 10.33 + log₁₀ [Na₂CO₃] / [0.20]

<em> [Na₂CO₃] = 0.094M</em>

<em />

Why dilute H2SO4 is added to oxali acid solution in redox reaction​
Sphinxa [80]

To prevent the hydrolysis and to catalyse the reaction.

Explanation:

  • Sulphuric acid is the catalyst and also a dehydrating agent in this reaction.
  • Sulphuric acid is using in redox reaction because sulphuric acid is providing H+ ions which is necessary for this reaction to occur more quickly, but the sulphate ions from the sulphuric acid barely react during this process. So H2SO4 is adding in this reaction to make it more acidic.
  • H2SO4 is preventing hydrolysis by providing excess H+ ions into the reaction. H2SO4 is stable towards the direction of oxidation.
