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

Chemistry
1 answer:
aksik [14]2 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.

What is the molarity of 62grams of ammonium in 5liters of water?
Viefleur [7K]

Answer:

Explanation:

First we need to find how many moles of ammonium weigh 62 grams.

Molar mass of NH4 = (14.0)+(4*1.0) grams

or 18.0 grams/mole

62 (g)/18(g/mole) = 3.444... moles of NH4

If it is dissolved in 5 litres of water, the concentration will be 3.444moles/5L

or 0.6888 M.

Ethane, C2H6, can be formed by reacting acetylene, C2H2, with hydrogen gas as follows: C2H2(g) H2(g) ⇌ C2H6(g) Exothermic What c
Pavel [41]

Answer:

Equilibrium shifts to the right

Explanation:

An exothermic reaction is one in which temperature is released to the environment. Hence, if the reaction vessel housing an exothermic reaction is touched after reaction completion, we will notice that the reaction vessel e.g beaker is hot.

To consider the equilibrium response to temperature changes, we need to consider if the reaction is exothermic or endothermic. In the case of this particular question, it has been established that the reaction is exothermic.

Heat is released to the surroundings as the reactants are at a higher energy level compared to the products. Hence, increasing the temperature will favor the formation of more reactants and as such, the equilibrium position will shift to the left to pave way for the formation of more reactants. Thus , more acetylene and hydrogen would be yielded

Answer:

24.9%

Explanation:

According to this question, mole fraction of NaCl in an aqueous solution is 0.0927. This means that the mole percent of NaCl in the solution is:

0.0927 × 100 = 9.27%

Let's assume that the solution contains water (solvent) + NaCl (solute), hence, the mole fraction of water will be;

100% - 9.27% = 90.73%

THEREFORE, it can be said that, NaCl contains 0.0927moles while H2O contains 9.073moles

N.B: mole = mass/molar mass

Given the Molar Mass

NaCl: 58.44 g/mol

H2O: 18.016 g/mol

For NaCl;

0.0927 = mass/58.44

mass = 0.0927 × 58.44

5.42g

For H2O;

9.073 = mass/18.016

mass = 9.073 × 18.016

= 16.35g

Total mass of solution = 16.35g + 5.42g = 21.77g

Mass percent of NaCl = mass of NaCl/total mass × 100

% mass of NaCl = 5.42g/21.77g × 100

= 0.249 × 100

= 24.9%
