The combustion of hydrogen-oxygen mixtures is used to produce very high temperatures (ca. 2500 °C) needed for certain types of w

elding operations. Consider the reaction to be
H₂(g) + ½O₂(g) → H₂O(g) ∆H° = -241.8 kJ/mol

What is the quantity of heat evolved, in kilojoules, when a 180 g mixture containing equal parts of H₂ and O₂ by mass is burned?

Answer:

1360kJ are evolved

Explanation:

When 1mole of H2 reacts with 1/2 moles O2 producing 1 mole of water and 241.8kJ.

To solve this question we need to find the limiting reactant knowing were added 90g of H2 and 90g of O2 as follows:

<em>Moles H2 -Molar mass: 2g/mol-</em>

90g H2 * (1mol / 2g) = 45 moles

<em>Moles O2 -Molar mass: 32g/mol-</em>

90g * (1mol / 32g) = 2.81moles

For a complete reaction of 2.81 moles of O2 are needed:

2.81 moles O2 * (1mol H2 / 1/2 mol O2) = 5.62 moles H2

As there are 45 moles, H2 is the excess reactant and O2 the limiting reactant.

As 1/2 moles O2 produce 241.8kJ, 2.81 moles will produce:

2.81 moles O2 * (241.8kJ / 1/2moles O2) =

<h3>1360kJ are evolved</h3>

1. Show that heat flows spontaneously from high temperature to low temperature in any isolated system (hint: use entropy change
Inga [223]

Answer:

1 ) Δs ( entropy change for hot block ) = - Q / th  ( -ve shows heat lost to cold block )

Δs ( entropy change for cold block ) = Q / tc

∴ Total Δs = ΔSc + ΔSh

                 = Q/tc - Q/th

2) ΔSdecomposition = Δh / Temp = ( 181.6 * 10^3 / 773 ) = 234.928 J/k

Explanation:

<u>1) To show that heat flows spontaneously from high temperature to low temperature </u>

example :

Pick two(2) solid metal blocks with varying temperatures ( i.e. one solid block is hot and the other solid block is cold )

Place both blocks for time (t ) in an insulated system to reduce heat loss or gain to or from the environment

Check the temperature of both blocks after time ( t ) it will be observed that both blocks will have same temperature after time t ( first law of thermodynamics )

Δs ( entropy change for hot block ) = - Q / th  ( -ve shows heat lost to cold block )

Δs ( entropy change for cold block ) = Q / tc

∴ Total Δs = ΔSc + ΔSh

                 = Q/tc - Q/th

<u>2) Entropy change for Decomposition of mercuric oxide </u>

2HgO (s) → 2Hg(l) + O₂ (g)

Δs = positive

there is transition from solid to liquid and the melting point of mercury ( the point at which reaction will take place ) = 500⁰C

hence ΔSdecomposition = S⁻ Hg  -  S⁻ HgO =

Δh of reaction = 181.6 KJ

Temp = 500 + 273 = 773 k

hence ΔSdecomposition = Δh / Temp = ( 181.6 * 10^3 / 773 ) = 234.928 J/k

Will the ph of a solution of nh4cn be &gt;7, &lt;7, or =7?

Ammonium cyanide is a salt formed by hydrogen cyanide and ammonia. Ammonia is a weak base and hydrogen cyanide is a weak acid. 
NH₄CN + H₂O ⇒ NH₃ + HCN 

NH₄⁺ + H₂O -----> H₃O⁺ + NH₃

CN⁻ + H₂O -----> HCN + OH⁻ 

Although both compounds are weak electrolytes, NH₃ is somewhat stronger base than HCN is a strong acid, so the solution reacts alkaline. We can prove this using Ka and Kb values:

Ka(HCN) = 4.9 x × 10⁻¹⁰

Kb(NH₃) = 1.8 × 10⁻⁵<span>
Kw= </span>1.0 × 10⁻¹⁴

Let's first calculate Ka for NH₄⁺: 
Ka(NH₄⁺) x Kb(NH₃<span>) = pKw

</span>Ka(NH₄⁺) = Kw/Kb(NH₃) = 5.6 x 10⁻¹⁰

Then, Kb for CN⁻:

Kb(CN⁻) x Ka(HCN) = pKw

Kb(CN⁻) = Kw/Ka(HCN) = 2 x 10⁻⁵

 
From this, we can see that the acid constant NH4⁺ is much lower than the base constant of CN⁻, which will say that the solution of NH₄CN will react slightly alkaline because of the higher presence of hydroxyl ions in solution.
