There are two steps in the usual industrial preparation of acrylic acid, the immediate precursor of several useful plastics. In

the first step, calcium carbide and water react to form acetylene and calcium hydroxide:
CaC2(s) + 2H2O(l) → C2H2(g) + Ca(OH)2(s)ΔH = −414kJ
In the second step, acetylene, carbon dioxide and water react to form acrylic acid:
6C2H2(g) + 3CO2(g) + 4H2O(g) → 5CH2CHCO2H(g)ΔH = 132kJ
Calculate the net change in enthalpy for the formation of one mole of acrylic acid from calcium carbide, water, and carbon dioxide from these reactions. Round your answer to the nearest kJ.

Answer:

ΔH = -470.4kJ

Explanation:

It is possible to sum 2 or more reactions to obtain the ΔH of the reaction you want to study (Hess's law). Using the reactions:

1. CaC2(s) + 2H2O(l) → C2H2(g) + Ca(OH)2(s)ΔH = −414kJ

2. 6C2H2(g) + 3CO2(g) + 4H2O(g) → 5CH2CHCO2H(g)ΔH = 132kJ

6 times the reaction 1.

6CaC2(s) + 12H2O(l) → 6C2H2(g) + 6Ca(OH)2(s)ΔH = −414kJ*6 = -2484kJ

This reaction + 2:

6CaC2(s) + 3CO2(g) + 16H2O(l) →  + 6Ca(OH)2(s) + 5CH2CHCO2H(g) ΔH = -2484kJ + 132kJ = -2352kJ

As we want to calculate the net change enthalpy in the formation of just 1 mole of acrylic acid we need to divide this last reaction in 5:

6/5CaC2(s) + 3/5CO2(g) + 16/5H2O(l) →  + 6/5Ca(OH)2(s) + CH2CHCO2H(g) ΔH = -2352kJ / 5

<h3>ΔH = -470.4kJ</h3>

What is the volume of 40g of sugar given it’s listed density
lora16 [44]

Answer:

25.157 cm³

Explanation:

Data Given:

Mass of Sugar (m) = 40g

Density of sugar given in literature = 1.59 g/cm³

Volume of Sugar = ?

The formula will be used is

                              d = m/v ........................................... (1)

where

D is density

m is the mass

v is the volume

So

Rearrange the Equation (1)

                              d x v = m

                               v = m/ d         ................................................ (2)

put the given values in Equation  (2)

                       v = 40g / 1.59 g/cm³

                       v = 25.157 cm³

volume of 40 g of sugar = 25.157 cm³

Write balanced equations that describe the following reactions. (Use the lowest possible coefficients. Use the pull-down boxes t
Gnesinka [82]

Answer :  The balanced chemical reaction will be:

HBrO_4(aq)+H_2O(l)\rightarrow H_3O^+(aq)+BrO_4^-(aq)

Explanation:

Balanced chemical reaction : It is defined as the reaction in which the number of atoms of individual elements present on reactant side must be equal to the product side.

As we know that perbromic acid is considered a strong acid that means it will completely dissociate in water.

The balanced chemical reaction will be:

HBrO_4(aq)+H_2O(l)\rightarrow H_3O^+(aq)+BrO_4^-(aq)

Explain the term "amphoteric"
Natali5045456 [20]
A substance either an ion or a molecule that can act either an acid or a base depending on a medium is called Amphoteric. Some metals like zinc, tin, copper and aluminium which produce either metal oxides or hydroxides are examples of amphoteric. During the Amphoterism, the metal compound acts either an acid or a base depending on their oxidation state.
