Calcium oxide (CaO), an important ingredient in cement, is produced by decomposing calcium carbonate (CaCO3) at high temperature

: CaCO3(s) → CaO(s) + CO2(g) In one particular reaction, 25 g of CaCO3 is heated at 550°C in a 5.0 L vessel. The pressure of CO2 is 0.25 atm after 10.0 minutes. What is the average rate of CO2 production in moles per minute during the 10 minutes? (Enter in mol/min.)

Answer:

0.0018 mol/min is the average rate of carbon dioxide gas production in moles per minute during the 10 minutes.

Explanation:

Pressure of carbon dioxide gas = P = 0.25 atm

Volume of carbon dioxide gas = V = 5.0 L

Moles of carbon dioxide gas = n

Temperature of the carbon dioxide gas,T = 550°C = 550+273 K = 823 K

Using an ideal gas equation :

$PV=nRT$

$n=\frac{PV}{RT}=\frac{0.25 atm\times 5.0 L}{0.0821 atm L/mol K\times 823 K}$

n = 0.018 mol

In 10 minutes pressure of carbon dioxide gas reached to 0.25 atm

Average rate of production of moles of carbon dioxide gas per minute in duration of 10 minutes:

$=\frac{0.018 mol}{10 min}=0.0018 mol/min$

0.0018 mol/min is the average rate of carbon dioxide gas production in moles per minute during the 10 minutes.

3. A representation of one unit of KCl in water is shown below. (The water molecules are intentionally not shown.)

alukav5142 [94]

The representation is showing potassium atom (K) and Chlorine atom (Cl) when it ought to show their ions i.e potassium ion (K⁺) and Chlorine ion (Cl¯)

<h3>Dissociation equation for KCl</h3>

When potassium chloride, KCl dissolves in water, it dissociate to produce potassium ion (K⁺) and Chlorine ion (Cl¯) as shown below:

KCl(aq) —> K⁺(aq) + Cl¯(aq)

The representation given in the question is only showing potassium atom (K) and Chlorine atom (Cl). This makes it wrong as dissolution of ionic compounds in water will results in the corresponding ions of the element that makes up the compound

I think it is True because when the plates collide then a volcano forms. (Subduction Zone)

Calculate ΔH and ΔStot when two copper blocks, each of mass 10.0 kg, one at 100°C and the other at 0°C, are placed in contact in

ira [324]

Explanation:

The given data is as follows.

m = 10.0 kg = 10,000 g (as 1 kg = 1000 g)

Initial temp. of block 1, $T_{1} = 100^{o}C$ = (100 + 273) K = 373 K

Initial temp. of block 2, $T_{2} = 0^{o}C$ = (0 + 273) K = 273 K

So, heat released by block 1 = heat gained by block 2

$mC \Delta T = mC \times \Delta T$

$10000 g \times 0.385 \times (T_{f} - 100)^{o}C = 10000 g \times 0.385 \times (0 - T_{f})^{o}C$

$T_{f} - 100^{o}C = 0^{o}C - T_{f}$

$2T_{f} = 100^{o}C$

$T_{f} = 50^{o}C$

Convert temperature into kelvin as (50 + 273) K = 323 K.

Also, we know that the relation between enthalpy and temperature change is as follows.

$\Delta H = mC \Delta T$

= $10000 g \times 0.385 J/K g \times 323 K$

= 1243550 J

or, = 1243.5 kJ

Now, calculate entropy change for block 1 as follows.

$\Delta S_{1} = mC ln \frac{T_{f}}{T_{i}}$

= $10000 g \times 0.385 J/K g \times ln \frac{323}{373}$

= $10000 g \times 0.385 J/K g \times -0.143$

= -554.12 J/K

Now, entropy change for block 2 is as follows.

$\Delta S_{2} = mC ln \frac{T_{f}}{T_{i}}$

= $10000 g \times 0.385 J/K g \times ln \frac{323}{273}$

= $10000 g \times 0.385 J/K g \times 0.168$

= 647.49 J/K

Hence, total entropy will be sum of entropy change of both the blocks.

$\Delta S_{total} = \Delta S_{1} + \Delta S_{2}$

= -554.12 J/K + 647.49 J/K

= 93.37 J/K

Thus, we can conclude that for the given reaction $\Delta H$ is 1243.5 kJ and $\Delta S_{total}$ is 93.37 J/K.
