The aromatic hydrocarbon cymene (C10H14) is found in nearly 100 spices and fragrances including coriander, anise, and thyme. The

complete combustion of 1.608 g of cymene in a bomb calorimeter (Ccalorimeter = 3.640 kJ/°C) produced an increase in temperature of 19.35°C. Calculate the molar enthalpy of combustion of cymene (ΔHcomb) in kilojoules per mole of cymene.

Answer:

5878 kJ/mol

Explanation:

According to the law of conservation of energy, the sum of the heat released by the combustion and the heat absorbed by the calorimeter is zero.

Qcomb + Qcal = 0

Qcomb = -Qcal    [1]

The heat absorbed by the calorimeter (Qcal) can be calculated using the following expression:

Qcal = Ccal . ΔT = 3.640 kJ/°C × 19.35°C = 70.43 kJ

where,

Ccal is the heat capacity of the calorimeter

ΔT is the difference in temperature

From [1],

Qcomb = - 70.43 kJ

Since this heat is measured at constant pressure, the molar enthalpy of combustion of cymene is:

\Delta Hcomb=\frac{-70.43kJ}{1.608g} .\frac{134.21g}{mol} =5878kJ/mol

Given that w for water is 2. 4×10−14 m^2 at 37 °C. Calculate the ph of a neutral aqueous solution at 37 °c, which is the normal
alexgriva [62]

The pH of a neutral aqueous solution at 37°C is 6.8.

<h3>What is Kw? </h3>

Kw is defined as the dissociation, which is also known as self-ionization, constant of water. this is an equilibrium constant, and its expression is:

Kw = [OH⁻] . [H₃O⁺]

Neutral pH determines that the concentrations of OH⁻ and H₃O⁺ are equal.

<h3>Calculation</h3>

Let us suppose concentration of OH and H₃O⁺ is x, to calculate it:

Kw =[OH⁻] . [H₃O⁺] = x²

x² = 2.4 × 10⁻¹⁴ M²

x = 1.5919 × 10⁻⁷ M

Hence, the concentration of OH and H₃O⁺ (x) = [H₃O⁺] = [OH⁻] = 1.5919×10⁻⁷ M

pH = -log[H₃O⁺] = -log( 1.5919×10⁻⁷ M)

pH = 6.8

Thus, we find that the pH of a neutral aqueous solution at 37 °c (which is the normal human body temperature) is 6.8.

Aqueous solutions of barium nitrate and potassium phosphate are mixed. What is the precipitate and how many molecules are formed
kykrilka [37]

Aqueous solutions of barium nitrate and potassium phosphate are mixed. What is the precipitate and how many molecules are formed?

Barium nitrate has a chemical symbol of Ba(NO3)2 and potassium phosphate has a chemical symbol K2PO4. The reaction between these two is a double replacement reaction yielding barium phosphate and potassium nitrate.

The chemical equation representing the reaction is,

            Ba(NO3)2 + K2PO4 à KNO3 + BaPO4
