Sonja [21]3 years ago
4 0

Answer:

  • 5

Explanation:

Let the number of half lives be x

<u>Solve this equation to find the value of x:</u>

  • 125*(1/2)ˣ = 3.90625
  • (0.5)ˣ = 3.90625 / 125
  • (0.5)ˣ = 0.03125
  • log (0.5)ˣ  = log 0.03125
  • x =  log 0.03125 / log 0.5
  • x = 5

If the molar heat of combustion of liquid benzene at constant volume and 300k is -3272KJ. Calculate the heat of combustion at co
vladimir2022 [97]

Answer:

The heat at constant pressure is -3,275.7413 kJ

Explanation:

The combustion equation is 2C₆H₆ (l) + 15O₂ (g)  → 12CO₂ (g) + 6H₂O (l)

\Delta n_g = (12 - 15)/2 = -3/2

We have;

\Delta H = \Delta U + \Delta n_g\cdot R\cdot T

Where R and T are constant, and ΔU is given we can write the relationship as follows;

H = U + \Delta n_g\cdot R\cdot T

Where;

H = The heat at constant pressure

U = The heat at constant volume = -3,272 kJ

\Delta n_g = The change in the number of gas molecules per mole

R = The universal gas constant = 8.314 J/(mol·K)

T = The temperature = 300 K

Therefore, we get;

H = -3,272 kJ + (-3/2) mol ×8.314 J/(mol·K) ×300 K) × 1 kJ/(1000 J) = -3,275.7413 kJ

The heat at constant pressure, H = -3,275.7413 kJ.

PilotLPTM [1.2K]

Answer: It's colder.

Explanation: Well for starters Valparaiso is further away from the equator, and Australia is already really hot. But say that Valparaiso is further from the equator should be good enough.
