Answer: The energy transferred is known as kinetic energy, and it depends on the mass and speed achieved.
The molecules remain intact.
Answer:
11.45kcal/g
2.612 × 10³ kcal
Explanation:
When a compound burns (combustion) it produces carbon dioxide and water. The combustion of 2-methylheptane can be represented by the following balanced equation:
2 C₈H₁₈ + 25 O₂ ⇄ 16 CO₂ + 18 H₂O
It releases 1.306 × 10³ kcal every 1 mol of C₈H₁₈ that is burned.
<em>What is the heat of combustion for 2-methylheptane in kcal/gram?</em>
We know that the molar mass of C₈H₁₈ is 114.0g/mol. Then, using proportions:
<em>How much heat will be given off if molar quantities of 2-methylheptane react according to the following equation? 2 C₈H₁₈ + 25 O₂ ⇄ 16 CO₂ + 18 H₂O</em>
In this equation we have 2 moles of C₈H₁₈. So,
In an average mass, each entry has equal weight. In a weighted average, we multiply each entry by a number representing its relative importance.
Assume that your class consists of 15 girls and 5 boys. Each girl has a mass of 54 kg, and each boy has a mass of 62 kg.
<em>Average mass</em> = (girl + boy)/2 = (54 kg + 62 kg)/2 = <em>58 kg</em>
<em>Weighted average (Method 1)
</em>
Use the <em>numbers of each</em> gender (15 girls + 5 boys)
,
Weighted average = (15×54 kg + 5×62 kg)/20 = (810 kg + 310 kg)/20
= 1120 kg/20 = <em>56 kg</em>.
If you put all the students on one giant balance, their total mass would be
1120 kg and the average mass of a student would be <em>56 kg.
</em>
<em>Weighted average (Method 2)
</em>
Use the <em>relative percentages</em> of each gender (75 % girls and 25 % boys).
Weighted average = 0.75×54 kg + 0.25×62 kg = 40.5 kg + 15.5 kg = <em>56 kg</em>
Each girl contributes 40.5 kg and each boy contributes 15.5 kg to the <em>weighted average</em> mass of a student.
