Answer:

Water has the unique ability to dissolve many polar and ionic substances. This is important to all living things because, as water travels through the water cycle, it takes many valuable nutrients along with it! Water has high heat capacity.

What type of bonds hold the atoms together in polyatomic ions

IRISSAK [1]

This is a covalent bond, a bond in which atoms share electrons. Covalent bonding generally happens between nonmetals. Covalent bonding is the type of bond that holds together the atoms within a polyatomic ion. It takes two electrons to make a covalent bond, one from each bonding atom.

garik1379 [7]

When solid carbon reacts with oxygen gas to produce carbon dioxide gas. the deltaH (enthalpy change ) value is negative .DeltaH would be on the product side of the equation.

<h3>What is enthalpy change? </h3>

In a thermodynamic system, energy is measured by enthalpy. Enthalpy is a measure of a system's overall heat content and is equal to the system's internal energy plus the sum of its volume and pressure.

Knowing whether q is endothermic or exothermic allows one to characterise the relationship between q and H. An endothermic reaction is one that absorbs heat and demonstrates that heat from the environment is used in the reaction, hence q>0 (positive). For the aforementioned equation, under constant pressure and temperature, if q is positive, then H will also be positive. In a similar manner, heat is transferred to the environment when it is released during an exothermic reaction. Thus, q=0 (negative). Therefore, if q is negative, H will also be negative.

Ethanol, C2H6O, is most often blended with gasoline - usually as a 10 percent mix - to create a fuel called gasohol. Ethanol is

weeeeeb [17]

Answer:

This means 463 grams of ethanol would provide less amount of energy

Explanation:

Step 1: Data given

Heat of combustion of ethanol = 326.7 kcal/mol

The heat of combustion of octane = 1.308*10³ kcal/mol

Mass of octane = 463 grams

Molar mass octane = 114.23 g/mol

Molar mass ethanol = 46.07 g/mol

Step 2: Calculate moles octane

Moles octane = mass octane / molar mass octane

Moles octane = 463 grams / 114.23 g/mol

Moles octane = 4.05 moles

Step 3: Calculate energy of combustion of 4.05 moles octane

Combustion of 1 mol octane gives us: 1.308 * 10³ kcal/mol

Combustion of 4.05 moles octane gives us 4.05 * 1.308 * 10³ kcal/mol = 5.30 * 10³ kcal

This means the combustion reaction of 463 grams of octane gives us 5.30 * 10³ kcal

Step 4:

Heat of combustion of ethanol = 326.7 kcal/mol

OR in words: combustion of 1 mol ethanol gives us 326.7 kcal energy

Moles ethanol = 463 grams / 46.07 g/mol

Moles ethanol = 10.05 moles

Since combustion of 1 mol ethanol gives us 326.7 kcal

10.05 moles ethanol will give us = 10.05 * 326.7 = 3283.3 kcal = 3.28 * 10³ kcal

5.30 * 10³ kcal > 3.28 * 10³ kcal

This means 463 grams of ethanol would provide less amount of energy

How would you prepare 2.5 L of a 0.800M solution of KNO3?

statuscvo [17]

First find the mass of solute:

Molar mass KNO₃ = 101.1032 g/mol

mass = Molarity * molar mass * volume

mass = 0.800 * 101.1032 * 2.5

mass = 202.2064 g of KNO₃

To prepare 2.5 L (0800 M) of KNO3 solution, must weigh 202.2064 g of salt, dissolve in a Beker, transfer with the help of a funnel of transfer to a volumetric flask, complete with water up to the mark, capping the balloon and finally shake the solution to mix.

hope this helps!
