Given the following at 25C calculate delta Hf for HCN (g) at 25C. 2NH3 (g) +3O2 (g) + 2CH4 (g) ---> 2HCN (g) + 6H2O (g) delta

H rxn= -870.8 kJ. delta Hf=-80.3 kJ/mol for NH3 (g), -74.6 kJ/mol for CH4, and -241.8 kJ/mol for H2O (g)

<u>Answer:</u> The \Delta H_f for HCN (g) in the reaction is 135.1 kJ/mol.

<u>Explanation:</u>

Enthalpy change is defined as the difference in enthalpies of all the product and the reactants each multiplied with their respective number of moles. The equation used to calculate enthalpy change is of a reaction is:

\Delta H_{rxn}=\sum [n\times \Delta H_f(product)]-\sum [n\times \Delta H_f(reactant)]

For the given chemical reaction:

2NH_3(g)+3O_2(g)+2CH_4(g)\rightarrow 2HCN(g)+6H_2O(g)

The equation for the enthalpy change of the above reaction is:

\Delta H_{rxn}=[(2\times \Delta H_f_{(HCN)})+(6\times \Delta H_f_{(H_2O)})]-[(2\times \Delta H_f_{(NH_3)})+(3\times \Delta H_f_{(O_2)})+(2\times \Delta H_f_{(CH_4)})]

We are given:

\Delta H_f_{(H_2O)}=-241.8kJ/mol\\\Delta H_f_{(NH_3)}=-80.3kJ/mol\\\Delta H_f_{(CH_4)}=-74.6kJ/mol\\\Delta H_f_{(O_2)}=0kJ/mol\\\Delta H_{rxn}=-870.8kJ

Putting values in above equation, we get:

-870.8=[(2\times \Delta H_f_{(HCN)})+(6\times (-241.8))]-[(2\times (-80.3))+(3\times (0))+(2\times (-74.6))]\\\\\Delta H_f_{(HCN)}=135.1kJ

Hence, the \Delta H_f for HCN (g) in the reaction is 135.1 kJ/mol.

Two of the simplest compounds containing just carbon and hydrogen are methane and ethane. Methane contains 0.3357 g of hydrogen
Natasha_Volkova [10]
Let the ratio of grams of hydrogen per gram of carbon in methane be M, we know that:
M = 0.3357 g / 1 g

Next, lets represent the grams of hydrogen per gram of carbon in ethane be E. The final piece of information we have is:

M / E = 4/3

If we cross multiply,

3M = 4E

Now, substituting the value of M from earlier and solving for E,

E = (3 * 0.3357) / 4
E = 0.2518

There are 0.2518 grams of hydrogen per gram of carbon in ethane.

Who was the first to propose the idea of atoms?
VMariaS [17]

Answer::Democritus

Explanation

The idea that all matter is made up of tiny, indivisible particles, or atoms, is believed to have originated with the Greek philosopher Leucippus of Miletus and his student Democritus of Abdera in the 5th century B.C. (The word atom comes from the Greek word atomos, which means “indivisible.”) These thinkers held that,

The density of gas particles in a section of Earth’s atmosphere decreases. Which of the following is the most likely explanation
Bad White [126]
<span>This is due to the fact that the air pressure in that certain section of Earth’s atmosphere decreased. As density of gas particles decreases as air pressure decreases. Therefore, density of gas particles and air pressure have a direct relationship. An increase in air pressure would then effect to an increase in gas particles. </span>

Consider n2 (g) + 3h2 (g) →→ 2nh3 (g). what is the mass of nitrogen gas required to react with 0.129 g h2?
Flura [38]
The given chemical reaction given above is already balanced such that the number of atoms in the left hand side of the equation is equal to that of the right hand side. Using the dimensional analysis, proper conversion factors and the molar masses,

                    mass of nitrogen = (0.129 g H₂)(1 mol H₂/2 g H₂)(1 mol N₂/3 mol H₂)(28 g N₂/1 mol N₂)
                     mass of nitrogen = 0.602 g N₂

Therefore, 0.602 g of nitrogen will be required for he reaction.
