Why is it essential for a calorimetry to be an insulated (closed) system?

Chemistry
1 answer:
aksik [14]3 years ago
5 0

Answer:

B.Thermal insulation minimizes energy loses to the atmosphere.

Explanation:

It is important because it helps to stop hit from transferring from the calorimeter to the environment. This would help to have an accurate measurement of the heat that was used in the chemical process. The greatest cause of error that happens in calorimetry is when heat is lost to the environment. To reduce this, you insulate the calorimeter and add a cover.

The first-order rate constant for the reaction of methyl chloride (CH3Cl) with water to produce methanol (CH3OH) and hydrochlori
Dvinal [7]

Answer:

K(48.5°C) = 1.017 E-8 s-1

Explanation:

  • CH3Cl + H2O → CH3OH + HCl

at T1 = 25°C (298 K) ⇒ K1 = 3.32 E-10 s-1

at T2 = 48.5°C (321.5 K) ⇒ K2 = ?

Arrhenius eq:

  • K(T) = A e∧(-Ea/RT)
  • Ln K = Ln(A) - [(Ea/R)(1/T)]

∴ A: frecuency factor

∴ R = 8.314 E-3 KJ/K.mol

⇒ Ln K1 = Ln(A) - [Ea/R)*(1/T1)]..........(1)

⇒ Ln K2 = Ln(A) - [(Ea/R)*(1/T2)].............(2)

(1)/(2):

⇒ Ln (K1/K2) = (Ea/R)* (1/T2-1/T1)

⇒ Ln (K1/K2) = (116 KJ/mol/8.3134 E-3 KJ/K.mol)*(1/321.5 K - 1/298 K)

⇒ Ln (K1/K2) = (13952.37 K)*(- 2.453 E-4 K-1)

⇒ Ln (K1/K2) = - 3.422

⇒ K1/K2 = e∧(-3.422)

⇒ (3.32 E-10 s-1)/K2 = 0.0326

⇒ K2 = (3.32 E-10 s-1)/0.0326

⇒ K2 = 1.017 E-8 s-1

Hydrogen has three naturally occurring isotopes which figure into the average atomic mass found on the periodic table (1.00974):
Art [367]
The number following the name of the element is the number of subatomic particles inside the nucleus of the atom. This means that it is the mass number of the isotope. The average atomic mass of the element is the sum of the products of the percentage abundance and mass number of the naturally occurring isotopes. 

Since, the average atomic mass of the hydrogen is nearest to 1 then, the most abundant isotope should be hydrogen-1.

Gain enough kinetic energy to get past each other. Ad you heat up a substance, the temperature increases as does the kinetic energy of the particles. At a point the temperature of the substance will stop increasing. The energy is now being used to increase the potential and move the particles further apart.
