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 size volumetric flask would you use to create a 1.00M solution using 166.00 g of KI?
mr Goodwill [35]

Answer:

A 1 liter volumetric flask should be used.

Explanation:

First we <u>convert 166.00 g of KI into moles</u>, using its <em>molar mass</em>:

Molar mass of KI = Molar mass of K + Molar mass of I = 166 g/mol

  • 166.00 g ÷ 166 g/mol = 1 mol KI

Then we <u>calculate the required volume</u>, using the <em>definition of molarity</em>:

  • Molarity = moles / liters

Liters = moles / molarity

  • 1 mol / 1.00 M = 1 L

Why is Hawaii made of volcanoes? <br>​
Vadim26 [7]

Answer:

Explanation:

The Hawaiian Islands were literally created from lots of volcanoes—they're a trail of volcanic eruptions. In the case of the Hawaiian Islands, the Pacific Plate is continually moving to the northwest over the Hawaiian hot spot. This movement caused the Hawaiian chain of islands to form.
