The combustion of liquid methanol has a change in enthalpy of -1278 kJ. How much energy will you get from burning 245.0 g of met

Nookie1986 [14]

Answer : 9773 kJ

Explanation:

Exothermic reactions are defined as the reactions in which energy of the product is lesser than the energy of the reactants. The total energy is released in the form of heat and $\Delta H$ for the reaction comes out to be negative.

To calculate the moles :

$\text{Moles of solute}=\frac{\text{given mass}}{\text{Molar Mass}}$

$\text{Moles of methanol}=\frac{245.0g}{32.04/mol}=7.647moles$

Given : Change in enthalpy on combustion of 1 mole of methanol = -1278 kJ

According to stoichiometry :

1 mole of methanol produce energy = 1278 kJ

Thus 7.647 moles of methanol produce energy = $\frac{1278}{1}\times 7.647=9773kJ$

Thus 9773 kJ of energy is produced from burning 245.0 g of methanol in excess oxygen

Suppose you have been given the task of distilling a mixture of hexane + toluene. Pure hexane has a refractive index of 1.375 an

rosijanka [135]

Answer:

Mole fraction of hexane in your sample is 0,746

Explanation:

Based on the information you can write the following equations:

X + Y = 1 (1)

Where X is mole fraction of hecane and Y is mole fraction of toluene

Also, based on the assumption that the refractive index of the hexane + toluene mixture varies linearly with mole fraction you can write:

1,375X + 1497Y = 1406 (2)

Replacing (1) in (2):

1,375X + 1,497(1-X) = 1,406

1,375X - 1,497X + 1,497 = 1,406

-0,122X = -0,091

X = -0,091/-0,122

X = 0,746

Thus, the mole fraction of hexane in your sample is 0,746

Also you can know the mole fraction of toluene replacing this value in (1):

0,746 - Y = 1

Y = 1-0,746

Y = 0,254

Answer:

Identify the "given" information and what the problem is asking you to "find."

Given : Cl2O7

Find: % Composition (% Cl and %O)

List other known quantities.

Mass of Cl in 1 mol Cl2O7 , 2 Cl : 2 x 35.45 g = 70.90 g

Mass of O in 1 mol Cl2O7 , 7 O: 7 x 16.00 g = 112.00 g

Molar mass of Cl2O7 = 182.90 g/mol
