Calculate the net change in enthalpy for the formation of one mole of acrylic acid from calcium carbide, water and carbon dioxid
kiruha [24]

Answer:

-471 Kj/mole acrylic acid

Explanation:

THIS IS THE COMPLETE QUESTION BELOW;

There are two steps in the usual industrial preparation of acrylic acid, the immediate precursor of several useful plastics. In the first step, calcium carbide and water react to form acetylene and calcium hydroxide: CaC (s) + 2 H2O(g) - CH (9) + Ca(OH),(s) AH -414. kJ In the second step, acetylene, carbon dioxide and water react to form acrylic acid: 6 C H (9) + 3 CO2(9) + 4H2O(g) - SCH,CHCO,H) AH-132. kJ Calculate the net change in enthalpy for the formation of one mole of acrylic acid from calcium carbide, water and carbon dioxide from these reactions. Round your answer to the nearest kJ. x 5 ?

The two equations from the reaction can be written as;

a)CaC₂(s) + 2H₂O(l) ------->C₂H₂(g) + CaOH₂(s)

Δ H= -414Kj ........................ equation (a)

b)6C₂H₂(g) +3CO₂(g)+4H₂O(g) -------> 5CH₂CHCO₂H(g) Δ H= 132Kj ...................... equation (b)

In equation (b)acrylic acid was produced by the reaction between Acetylene carbon dioxide and water

Then we can multiply equation(a) by factor of 6 and the ΔH Then we have (6× -414Kj)= ΔH= -2484Kj.

6CaC₂(s) + 12H₂O(l) ------->6C₂H₂(g) + 6CaOH₂(s)

Δ H= -2484Kj.................. equation (c)

6C₂H₂(g) +3CO₂(g)+4H₂O(g) -------> 5CH₂CHCO₂H(g) Δ H= 132Kj

Then add equation (c) and equation(b) then we have

6CaC₂(s) + 16H₂O(l)+3CO₂(g)------> 5CH₂CHCO₂H(g) + 6CaOH₂(s) ΔH= -2352Kj

ΔH(net)= -2352Kj/5moles

=-471Kj/mole

therefore, net change in enthalpy for the formation of one mole of acrylic acid from calcium carbide, water and carbon dioxide from these reactions. Round your answer to the nearest kJ. x 5 ? is -471Kj/mole acrylic acid

Which common material is an example of a polyamide?
Vlad1618 [11]

Nylon 6,6 is a common example of a polyamide.

<em>Polyamides</em> are polymers that contain <em>repeating amide (-CO-NH-) linkages</em>.

The structure of Nylon 6,6 is  

[-NH-(CH_2)_6-<u>NH-CO</u>-(CH_2)_4-CO-]_<em>n</em>

where <em>n</em> is a large number.

The numbers in the name showow that there are six carbon atoms on either side of an amide linkage.

Is it easier to break a single or double bond?
alisha [4.7K]
Bond dissociation energy is inversely proportional to Bond length.

The longer the bond is, lesser the energy it requires to break the bond.
Therefore, it is easier to break single bond.

Single bond>double bond>triple bond -------(Bond length)

How can you show the conservation of mass when making a physical mixture?
Yuki888 [10]

Answer:

A. Show that the total of the masses of the starting substances equals the mass of the mixture.

Explanation:

Law of conservation of mass:

According to the law of conservation mass, mass can neither be created nor destroyed in a chemical equation.

This law was given by French chemist  Antoine Lavoisier in 1789. According to this law mass of reactant and mass of product must be equal, because masses are not created or destroyed in a chemical reaction.

For example:

In given photosynthesis reaction:

6CO₂ + 6H₂O + energy → C₆H₁₂O₆ + 6O₂

there are six carbon atoms, eighteen oxygen atoms and twelve hydrogen atoms on the both side of equation so this reaction followed the law of conservation of mass.

In a similar way if we have mixture of sugar and sand the total weight of mixture is equal to the weight of reactants.

sand + sugar + water    → mixture

     10g+5g+20 g           =   35 g
