Answer:

molar heat of combustion = -5156 *10³ kJ/mol

Explanation:

A quantity of 1.435 g of naphthalene , was burned in a constant-volume bomb calorimeter. Consequently, the temperature of the water rose from 20.28oC to 25.95oC If the heat capacity of the bomb plus water was 10.17 kJ/°C, calculate the heat of combustion of naphthalene on a molar basis; that is, find the molar heat of combustion.

Step 1: Data given

Mass of naphthalene = 1.435 grams

Initial temperature of water = 20.28 °C

Final temperature of water = 25.95 °C

heat capacity of the bomb plus water was 10.17 kJ/°C

Molar mass naphtalene = 128.2 g/mol

Step 2:

Qcal = Ccal * ΔT

⇒with Qcal =the heat of combustion

⇒with Ccal = heat capacity of the bomb plus water = 10.17 kJ/°C

⇒with ΔT = the difference in temperature = T2 - T1 = 25.95 - 20.28 = 5.67°C

Qcal = 10.17 kJ/°C * 5.67 °C

Qcal = 57.7 kJ

Step 3: Calculate moles

Moles naphthalene = 1.435 grams / 128.2 g/mol

Moles naphthalene = 0.01119 moles

Step 4: Calculate the molar heat of combustion

molar heat of combustion = Qcal/ moles

molar heat of combustion = -57.7 kJ/ 0.01119 moles

molar heat of combustion = -5156 *10³ kJ/mol

The temperature of a boiling liquid can rise above its boiling point.<br> a. true<br> b. false
goldenfox [79]
The temperature of a liquid can exceed its boiling point. An example is water. Although at ordinary pressure of 1 atm, the boiling point is 100 degrees, water can still exist in higher temperatures but this time in another state. Superheated steam is the term used for water whose temperature has higher than the boiling point

An objects kinetic energy increases as its velocity increases?
stira [4]

Answer:

Because kinetic energy is proportional to the velocity squared, increases in velocity will have an exponentially greater effect on translation kinetic energy. Doubling the mass of an object will only double its kinetic energy, but doubling the velocity of the object will quadruple its velocity.

Sulfuric acid is a polyprotic acid. Write balanced chemical equations for the sequence of reactions that sulfuric acid can under
Dmitriy789 [7]

Answer:

H₂SO₄ (aq) + H₂O (l)  → HSO₄⁻ (aq) + H₃O⁺ (aq)

HSO₄⁻ (aq) + H₂O (l) ⇄  SO₄⁻²(aq) + H₃O⁺ (aq)           Ka

Explanation:

The sulfuric acid is a dyprotic acid.

It is a considered a strong acid but only the first deprotonation is strong.

Second deprotonation is totally weak

That's why we have equilibrium when it release the second proton.

Since a deprotonation is treated for a weak acid, the acid is considered not to completely dissociate, that's why the equilibrium

is a secondary resonance stabilized carbocation more or less stable than a nonrez stabilized tertiary carbocation
olasank [31]
In a secondary carbocation, only two alkyl groups would be available for this purpose, while a primary carbocation has only one alkyl group available. Thus the observed order of stability for carbocations is as follows: tertiary > secondary > primary > methyl.

Hydrogen has a red emission line at 656.3 nm, what is the energy and frequency of a photon of this light? Note: planck's constan
Yuliya22 [10]

We know that

Speed of light = wavelength X frequency

Energy of light = h X frequency

Where

h = planck's constant = 6.626 x 10–34 j·s

frequency = speed of light / wavelength = 2.998 x 10^8 m/s / 656.3 X 10^-9

frequency = 4.57 X 10^14 / s

Energy = 6.626 x 10–34 j·s X 4.57 X 10^14 / s = 3.028 X 10^-19 Joules
