Ethylene (C2H4) is the starting material for the preparation of polyethylene. Although typically made during the processing of p

etroleum, ethylene occurs naturally as a fruit-ripening hormone and as a component of natural gas. The heat of reaction for the combustion of C2H4 is −1411 kJ/mol. How many grams of C2H4 must burn to give 59.0 kJ of heat?

Answer:

1.17 grams

Explanation:

Let's consider the balanced equation for the combustion of ethylene.

C₂H₄(g) + 3 O₂(g) → 2 CO₂(g) + 2 H₂O(l)

We can establish the following relations:

  • 1411 kJ are released (-1411 kJ) when 1 mole of C₂H₄ burns.
  • The molar mass of C₂H₄ is 28.05 g/mol.

The grams of C₂H₄ burned to give 59.0 kJ of heat (q = -59.0 kJ) is:

-59.0kJ.\frac{1molC_{2}H_{4}}{-1411kJ} .\frac{28.05gC_{2}H_{4}}{1molC_{2}H_{4}} =1.17gC_{2}H_{4}

What is the ph of a 0.25 m solution of c6h5nh2 given that its kb is 1.8 x 10-6?
IrinaK [193]

The pH a 0.25 m solution of C₆H₅NH₂ is equal to 3.13.

<h3>How do we calculate pH of weak base?</h3>

pH of the weak base will be calculate by using the Henderson Hasselbalch equation as:

pH = pKb + log([HB⁺]/[B])

pKb = -log(1.8×10⁻⁶) = 5.7

Chemical reaction for C₆H₅NH₂ is:

                          C₆H₅NH₂ + H₂O → C₆H₅NH₃⁺ + OH⁻

Initial:                     0.25                           0            0

Change:                    -x                             x             x

Equilibrium:        0.25-x                           x             x

Base dissociation constant will be calculated as:
Kb = [C₆H₅NH₃⁺][OH⁻] / [C₆H₅NH₂]

Kb = x² / 0.25 - x

x is very small as compared to 0.25, so we neglect x from that term and by putting value of Kb, then the equation becomes:

1.8×10⁻⁶ = x² / 0.25

x² = (1.8×10⁻⁶)(0.25)

x = 0.67×10⁻³ M = [C₆H₅NH₃⁺]

On putting all these values on the above equation of pH, we get

pH = 5.7 + log(0.67×10⁻³/0.25)

pH = 3.13

Hence pH of the solution is 3.13.

A 420-N force acts on a 400-N object, and the force is from the north. In which direction will the object move?
garik1379 [7]

Answer: The object will move in the South direction.

Explanation: We are given an object of 400 N and force acting on it is 420 N from the north direction, it means the force is acting towards south.

The object will move in the direction of the net force, which is south direction.

Hence, the correct option is A.

Consider the chemical reaction in equilibrium.
Zarrin [17]
This is an application of Le Chatlier's principle:  What happens when we add a reagent to one side of an equation? The reaction will shift to the other side.  So heat is a reactant and we're adding more of it, the reaction must therefore, shift to the right ( or the products side).

In an electrolytic cell, the electrode that acts as a source of electrons to the solution is called the __________; the chemical
Romashka [77]

In an electrolytic cell, the electrode that acts as a source of electrons to the solution is called the <u>cathode</u>; the chemical change that occurs at this electrode is called <u>reduction</u>.

<h3>Define Electrolyte:-</h3>

An electrolyte is a material that separates into charged ions when it is in contact with water. Cations are positively charged ions. Anions are ions that are negatively charged. A substance that may conduct an electric current when melted or dissolved in water is known as an electrolyte.

<h3>Electrochemical cell </h3>

There are three main categories of electrochemical cells. the galvanic cell, the concentration cell, and the electrolytic cell. These cells all share the same four fundamental components. These are the elements

  • The electrolyte serves as the conduit for current flow between the anode and the cathode. In an aqueous solution, it normally is homogeneous, but in moist soil, the concentration or kind of dissolved compounds may vary locally.
  • The anode, which can conduct electricity and is in contact with the electrolyte, corrodes when it combines with the chemicals in the electrolyte.
  • A metal also contacts the electrolyte at the cathode. It is protected from corrosion rather than corroded.
  • Anode and cathode are connected by the conductor, which also completes the circuit.
