A 62.6-gram piece of heated limestone is placed into 75.0 grams of water at 23.1°C. The limestone and the water come to a final

alekssr [168]

Answer:

208.7°C was the initial temperature of the limestone.

Explanation:

Heat lost by limestone will be equal to heat gained by the water

$-Q_1=Q_2$

Mass of limestone = $m_1=62.6 g$

Specific heat capacity of limestone = $c_1=0.921 J/g^oC$

Initial temperature of the limestone = $T_1=?$

Final temperature = $T_2$ =T = 51.9°C

$Q_1=m_1c_1\times (T-T_1)$

Mass of water= $m_2=75.0 g$

Specific heat capacity of water= $c_2=4.186 J/g^oC$

Initial temperature of the water = $T_3=23.1^oC$

Final temperature of water = $T_2$ =T = 51.9°C

$Q_2=m_2c_2\times (T-T_3)$

$-Q_1=Q_2$

$-(m_1c_1\times (T-T_1))=m_2c_2\times (T-T_3)$

On substituting all values:

$-(62.6 g\times 0.921 J/g^oC\times (51.9^oC-T_1))=75.0 g\times 4.186 J/g^oC\times (51.9^oC-23.1^oC)$

$T_1=208.7^oC$

208.7°C was the initial temperature of the limestone.

The Ostwald process for the commercial production of nitric acid from ammonia and oxygen involves the following steps:

bagirrra123 [75]

Answer:

$12 NH_3 (g)+ 21 O_2 (g) + \longrightarrow 14 H_2O (l) + 8 HNO_3 (g) + 4 NO (g)$

Explanation:

The steps of the Ostwald process:

$4 NH_3 (g) + 5 O_2 (g) \longrightarrow 4 NO (g) + 6 H_2O (g)$

$2 NO (g) + O_2 (g) \longrightarrow 2 NO_2 (g)$

$3 NO_2 (g) + H_2O (l) \longrightarrow 2 HNO_3 (g) + NO (g)$

Combinning the equations:

$4 NH_3 (g) + 5 O_2 (g) \longrightarrow 4 NO (g) + 6 H_2O (g)$

+

$(2 NO (g) + O_2 (g) \longrightarrow 2 NO_2 (g))*2$

+

$(3 NO_2 (g) + H_2O (l) \longrightarrow 2 HNO_3 (g) + NO (g))*4/3$

=

$4 NH_3 (g)+ 4 NO (g)+ 7 O_2 (g) + 4 NO_2 (g) +4/3 H_2O (l) \longrightarrow 4 NO (g) + 6 H_2O (g) + 4 NO_2(g) + 8/3 HNO_3 (g) + 4/3 NO (g)$

Simplifying:

$4 NH_3 (g)+ 7 O_2 (g) + \longrightarrow 14/3 H_2O (l) + 8/3 HNO_3 (g) + 4/3 NO (g)$

$12 NH_3 (g)+ 21 O_2 (g) + \longrightarrow 14 H_2O (l) + 8 HNO_3 (g) + 4 NO (g)$

The overall reaction is endothermic becuase the formation of new chemical bonds requires energy consumption.

Dehydration of 2-methyl-2-pentanol forms one major and one minor organic product. Draw the structures of the two organic product

Korvikt [17]

Answer:

The major product is 2-methyl-2-pentene [ CH₃-CH₂-CH=C(CH₃)₂ ] and a minor product 2-methyl-1-pentene [ CH₃-CH₂-CH₂-C(CH₃)=CH₂ ].

Explanation:

Dehydration reaction is a reaction in which a molecule loses a water molecule in the presence of a dehydrating agent like sulfuric acid (H₂SO₄).

<u>Dehydration reaction of 2-methyl-2-pentanol</u> gives a major product 2-methyl-2-pentene and a minor product 2-methyl-1-pentene.

CH₃-CH₂-CH₂-C(CH₃)₂-OH (2-methyl-2-pentanol)→ CH₃-CH₂-CH=C(CH₃)₂ (2-methyl-2-pentene, major) + CH₃-CH₂-CH₂-C(CH₃)=CH₂ (2-methyl-1-pentene, minor)

<u>Since more substituted alkene is more stable than the less substituted alkene. So, the trisubstituted alkene, 2-methyl-2-pentene is more stable than the disubstituted alkene, 2-methyl-1-pentene.</u>

<u>Therefore, the trisubstituted alkene, 2-methyl-2-pentene is the major product and the disubstituted alkene, 2-methyl-1-pentene is the minor product.</u>

Caleb has a 860-kilogram car sitting in his back yard, gathering rust.

emmasim [6.3K]

<h3>Answer:</h3>

A. 860 kg

<h3>Explanation:</h3>

To answer the question we need to understand that;

Mass refers to the amount of matter in an object.
Weight, on the other hand, refers to the gravitational pull of an object to a given surface.
Mass is measured using a spring balance.

We also need to know that;

The mass of an object remains constant every where irrespective of the gravitational acceleration.

Therefore, an object on the surface of the earth would have the same mass as on the surface of the moon.
In this case; the mass of the car remains the same on the outer space as on the back yard.
