a) The reaction is exothermic since the overall enthalpy change is negative. this means that the system has lost energy to the environment, namely, the apparatus and due to drought.
b) We first calculate the number of moles in 3.55 grams of magnesium.
number of moles= mass/ atomic mass
=3.55/24
=0.1479 moles(to 4sf)
now, if 2 moles of magnesium give -1204kJ
How much energy is given by 0.1479 moles
= (0.1479×-1204kJ)
=-89.0358kJ (don't forget the negative sign)
c) two molesof MgO produces -1204kJ of energy
then -234kJ will be produced by
=(-234kJ×2moles)/1204kJ
=0.3887moles
one mole of MgO weighs 24+16=40
therefore the mass produced is 0.3887moles×40=15.548grams
(d) we first find the number of moles of MgO in 40.3 grams
number of moles=mass/RFM
=40.3g/40= 1.0075moles
if 2 moles of MgO give 1204 kJ then decomposing 1.0075 moles requires
(1.0075 moles×1204kJ)/2=606.515kJ
I think the answer is transparent and translucent
Hey
Matter can neither be created nor destroyed.
Explanation:
This is the law of conservation of matter (mass). One can prove this by performing a simple experiment at home.
Have a great day
Answer:
10 g of CO2
Explanation:
Equation of the reaction:
CH3(CH2)6CH3 + 17O2 ----> 18H2O + 8CO2
Fom the above balanced equation,
1 mole of Octane gas reacts with 17 moles of oxygen gas to produce 8 moles of CO2
Molar mass of Octane = 114 g/mol
Molar mass of oxygen gas = 32 g/mol
Molar mass of CO2 = 44 g/mol
Therefore, 114 g of Octane reacts completely with 17 * 32g (= 544 g) of oxygen to produce 8 * 44 g(=352g) of CO2.
From the given mass of reactants;
3.4 g of Octane will react with (544 * 3.4)/114 g of oxygen = 16.22g of oxygen.
Therefore oxygen is the limiting reactant.
15.6 g of oxygen will react with (114 * 15.6)/544 g of CO2 = 3.27 g of octane.
Mass of CO2 produced will be
(352 * 15.6)/544 = 10 g of CO2
