Answer:

When fossil fuels are burned carbon and hydrogen react with oxygen in air to carbon dioxide (CO2) and water (H2O). During this reaction heat is released which further amplifies the reaction. Electricity is generated by transforming mechanical energy (heat) to electrical energy in a turbine or generator.

For a gaseous reaction, standard conditions are 298 K and a partial pressure of 1 atm for all species. For the reaction 2 NO ( g

enyata [817]

Answer:

ΔG = -61.5 kJ/mol (<u>Spontaneous process</u>)

Explanation:

2 NO (g) + O₂ (g) ⇄ 2NO₂ (g)

Let's apply the thermodynamic formula to calculate the ΔG

ΔG = ΔG° + R .T . lnQ

We don't know if the gases are at equilibrium, that's why we apply Q (reaction quotient)

ΔG = - 69 kJ/mol + 8.31x10⁻³ kJ/K.mol . 298K . ln Q

How can we know Q? By the partial pressures (Qp)

P NO = 0.450atm

PO₂ = 0.1 atm

PNO₂ = 0.650 atm

Qp = [NO₂]² / [NO]² . [O₂]

Qp = 0.650² / 0.450² . 0.1 = 20.86

ΔG = - 69 kJ/mol + 8.31x10⁻³ kJ/K.mol . 298K . ln 20.86

ΔG = -61.5 kJ/mol (<u>Spontaneous process</u>)

Toluene (C6H5CH3 ), an organic compound often used as a solvent in paints, is mixed with a similar organic compound, benzene (C6

Sergeeva-Olga [200]

Explanation:

The given data is as follows.

Weight of solute = 75.8 g, Molecular weight of solute (toulene) = 92.13 g/mol, volume = 200 ml

Therefore, molarity of toulene is calculated as follows.

Molarity = $\frac{\text{weight of solute}}{\text{molecular weight of solute}} \times \frac{1000}{\text{volume of solution in ml}}$

= $\frac{75.8 g}{92.13 g/mol} \times \frac{1000}{200 ml}$

= 4.11 M

Hence, molarity of toulene is 4.11 M.

As molality is the number of moles of solute present in kg of solvent.

So, we will calculate the molality of toulene as follows.

Molality = $\frac{\text{given weight of solute}}{\text{given molecular weight of solute}} \times \frac{1000}{\text{weight of solvent in grams}}$

= $\frac{75.8 g}{92.13 g/mol} \times \frac{1000}{95.6 g}$

= 8.6 m

Hence, molality of given toulene solution is 8.6 m.

Now, calculate the number of moles of toulene as follows.

No. of moles = $\frac{mass}{\text{molar mass}}$

= $\frac{75.8 g}{92.13 g/mol}$

= 0.8227 mol

Now, no. of moles of benzene will be as follows.

No. of moles = $\frac{mass}{\text{molar mass}}$

= $\frac{95.6 g}{78.11 g/mol}$

= 1.2239 mol

Hence, the mole fraction of toulene is as follows.

Mole fraction = $\frac{\text{moles of toulene}}{\text{total moles}}$

= $\frac{0.8227 mol}{(0.8227 + 1.2239) mol}$

= 0.402

Hence, mole fraction of toulene is 0.402.

As density of given solution is 0.857 $g/cm^{3}$ so, we will calculate the mass of solution as follows.

Density = $\frac{mass}{volume}$

0.857 $g/cm^{3}$ = $\frac{mass}{200 ml}$ (As 1 $cm^{3}$ = 1 g)

mass = 171.4 g

Therefore, calculate the mass percent of toulene as follows.

Mass % = $\frac{\text{mass of solute}}{\text{mass of solution}} \times 100$

= $\frac{75.8 g}{171.4 g} \times 100$

= 44.22%

Therefore, mass percent of toulene is 44.22%.

Complete the mechanism for the base-catalyzed opening of the epoxide below by adding any missing atoms, bonds, charges, nonbondi

worty [1.4K]

Complete Question:

check the first image for complete part of the question

Answer and Explanation:

Epoxide is a three membered ring made up of two carbon atoms and one oxygen atom. Epoxides are cyclic ethers. Due to its ring size, it is highly strained and very reactive. Epoxide ring opening takes place with respect to addition of acid and base.

Ring opening of epoxide with acid:

In the presence of base, the nucleophile attacks the epoxide ring at more substituted site and inverse stereochemistry takes place.(check file 2 attached)

Ring opening of epoxide with base:

The backside attack of nucleophile takes place in less substituted site and then it undergoes protonation to form a product.
