2. A quantity of 1.922g of methanol (CH3OH) was burned in a constant-volume

1 answer:

5 0

Mass of methanol (CH3OH) = 1.922 g
Change in Temperature (t) = 4.20°C
Heat capacity of the bomb plus water = 10.4 KJ/oC
The heat absorbed by the bomb and water is equal to the product of the heat capacity and the temperature change.
Let’s assume that no heat is lost to the surroundings. First, let’s calculate the heat changes in the calorimeter. This is calculated using the formula shown below:
qcal = Ccalt
Where, qcal = heat of reaction
Ccal = heat capacity of calorimeter
t = change in temperature of the sample
Now, let’s calculate qcal:
qcal = (10.4 kJ/°C)(4.20°C)
= 43.68 kJ
Always qsys = qcal + qrxn = 0,
qrxn = -43.68 kJ
The heat change of the reaction is - 43.68 kJ which is the heat released by the combustion of 1.922 g of CH3OH. Therefore, the conversion factor is:

Why do gases diffuse more quickly than liquids?

Alborosie

Answer:

D)Gas particles move rapidly and have space between them.

Explanation:

Matter exists in three states namely: solids, liquids and gases. The particles contained in these three states are different from one another. In the gaseous state, the particles are FAR APART from one another i.e. space exists and they move at a very fast rate in contrast to the particles of a liquid, which have less space and move slower.

This rapid movement of gas particles within a less restricted space accounts for the reason why gaseous substances DIFFUSE more quickly than liquids.

Which of the following series of isoelectronic ions (Mg²⁺, N³⁻, F⁻, Si⁴⁺) has the ionic radii in order of largest to smallest? A

Rom4ik [11]

Answer:

Option (d) is correct

N³⁻ > F⁻ > Mg²⁺ > Si⁴⁺

Explanation:

Total electrons for all the species = 10

So these are <u>iso electronic</u> with each other.

We know

Ionic radii ∝ $\frac{Magnitude of Negative Charge}{Magnitude of Positive Charge}$

Si⁴⁺ has 14 protons and 10 electrons
Mg²⁺ has 12 protons and 10 electrons
N³⁻ has 7 protons and 10 electrons
F⁻ has 9 protons and 10 electrons

Iso electronic species with greatest number of protons have small size and vice versa.
So Si⁺⁴ have smallest size and N³⁻ have largest in size

Given the equation representing a reversible reaction:which formula represents the h+ acceptor in the forward reaction?

AnnyKZ [126]

Question is incomplete. Complete question is attached below
.............................................................................................................................

Answer: Option A: HCO3-(aq.)

Reason:
From the reaction, it can be seen that following reaction occurs in forward direct

HCO3-(aq) + H2O(l) → H2CO3(aq) + OH-(aq)

In above forward reaction, HCO3- accepts proton from H2O to generate H2CO3. Thus, according to Lowry and Bronsted theory of acid-base, HCO3- is a base, while H2CO3 is a conjugate acid.
