Answer:

13,888.88 gallons per second must be pumped from the adjacent Lake Michigan every second to supply the city.

Explanation:

Gallons of water used by Chicago city in 1 day = $1.2\times 10^9 gal$

1 day = 24 hours

1 hour = 60 mins

1 min = 60 seconds

$1 day=24\times 60\times 60 min = 86,400 seconds$

Gallons of water used by Chicago city in 86,400 seconds :

= $1.2\times 10^9 gal$

Gallons of water used by Chicago city in 1 second:

$\frac{1.2\times 10^9 gal}{86,400}=13,888.88 gal$

13,888.88 gallons per second must be pumped from the adjacent Lake Michigan every second to supply the city.

Water molecules form hydrogen bonds to help in the process of water transport. Which property of water is described?

AlekseyPX

The property of water which is described in the lines above is <u>cohesion.
</u>It refers to the fact that water molecules stick to other water molecules, i. e. to themselves, as opposed to sticking to another material, which happens with adhesion. Water and capillaries don't have any connection.<u>

Find the standard enthalpy of formation of ethylene, C2H4(g), given the following data: C2H4(g) + 3 O2(g) --> 2CO2(g) + 2 H2O

Brums [2.3K]

Answer : The standard enthalpy of formation of ethylene is, 52.4 kJ

Explanation :

According to Hess’s law of constant heat summation, the heat absorbed or evolved in a given chemical equation is the same whether the process occurs in one step or several steps.

According to this law, the chemical equation can be treated as ordinary algebraic expression and can be added or subtracted to yield the required equation. That means the enthalpy change of the overall reaction is the sum of the enthalpy changes of the intermediate reactions.

The formation reaction of $C_2H_4$ will be,

$2C(s)+2H_2(g)\rightarrow C_2H_4(g)$ $\Delta H_{formation}=?$

The intermediate balanced chemical reaction will be,

(1) $C_2H_4(g)+3O_2(g)\rightarrow 2CO_2(g)+2H_2O(l)$ $\Delta H_1=-1411kJ$

(2) $C(s)+O_2(g)\rightarrow CO_2(g)$ $\Delta H_2=-393.5kJ$

(3) $H_2(g)+\frac{1}{2}O_2(g)\rightarrow H_2O(l)$ $\Delta H_3=-285.8kJ$

Now we will reverse the reaction 1, multiply reaction 2 and 3 by 2 then adding all the equation, we get :

(1) $2CO_2(g)+2H_2O(l)\rightarrow C_2H_4(g)+3O_2(g)$ $\Delta H_1=+1411kJ$

(2) $2C(s)+2O_2(g)\rightarrow 2CO_2(g)$ $\Delta H_2=2\times (-393.5kJ)=-787kJ$

(3) $2H_2(g)+2O_2(g)\rightarrow 2H_2O(l)$ $\Delta H_3=2\times (-285.8kJ)=-571.6kJ$

The expression for enthalpy of formation of $C_2H_4$ will be,

$\Delta H_{formation}=\Delta H_1+\Delta H_2+\Delta H_3$

$\Delta H=(+1411kJ)+(-787kJ)+(-571.6kJ)$

$\Delta H=52.4kJ$

Therefore, the standard enthalpy of formation of ethylene is, 52.4 kJ

Complete question is;

Identify the type of reaction in the chemical reaction below:

2P205 ➡️ 4P + 502

single replacement

synthesis

decomposition

combustion

double replacement

Answer:

Decomposition

Explanation:

We. An see in the question that the compound 2P205 is broken down into simpler substances which are phosphorus (P) and oxygen (O).

Now, this is a decomposition reaction because a decomposition reaction is one in which a compound is broken down into simpler substances
