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

How many mL of 0.506 M HClare needed to dissolve 9.85 g of BaCO3?
Blababa [14]

Answer:

197mL of 0,506M HCl

Explanation:

The reaction of HCl + BaCO₃ is:

BaCO₃(s) + 2HCl → BaCl₂(aq) + CO₂ + H₂O.

The moles of BaCO₃ in 9,85 g are:

9,85 g of BaCO₃ × \frac{1mol}{197,34 g} = <em>0,0499 moles of BaCO₃</em>

As 1 mol of BaCO₃ reacts with two moles of HCl, for a complete reaction of BaCO₃ to dissolve this compound in water you need:

0,0499 moles of BaCO₃ × \frac{2molHCl}{1molBaCO_{3}} =<em> 0,0998 moles of HCl</em>

If you have a 0,506M HCl, you need to add:

0,0998 moles of HCl× \frac{1L}{0,506moles} = 0,197 L ≡ 197mL

I hope it helps!

kirill [66]
<span>Answer: A 0.04403 g sample of gas occupies 10.0-mL at 289.0 K and 1.10 atm. Upon further analysis, the compound is found to be 25.305% C and 74.695% Cl. What is the molecular formula of the compound? --------------------------------------... Seems like I did a problem very similar to this--this must be the "B" test. But the halogen was different. 25.305% C/12 = 2.108 74.695% Cl/35.5 = 2.104 So the empirical formula would be CH. However, there are many compounds which fit this bill, so we have to use the gas data. (And I made, in the previous problem, the simplifying assumption that 289C and 1.10 atm would offset each other, so I'll do that, too.) 0.044 grams/10 ml = x/22.4 liters 0.044g/0.010 liters = x/22.4 liters 22.4 liters/0.010 liters = 2240 (ratio) 2240 x .044 = 98.56 (actual atomic weight) CCl = 35.5+12 or 47.5, so two of those is 95 grams/mole. This is sufficiient to distinguish C2CL2, (dichloroacetylene) from C6CL6 (hexachlorobenzene) which would mass 3 times as much.</span>

How would you prepare a 1.00L solution of 2.00 M sodium hydroxide<br> (NaOH)*
Ede4ka [16]

Answer:

Explanation:

Molar mass of sodium hydroxide is = 100

any compund with its molar mass dissovled in 1L itres solution gives rise to 1M solution

40 g ------> 1L ---->1M

Xg  ------>1L------>2M

X g= 40*1*2/1*1 =80 gram
