Suppose you had a 2.4 g cracker burn down to 1.3 g, which raised the temperature of 50.1 g of water by 12.0 degrees Celsius. How

many kilocalories of heat energy was released by the cracker (or absorbed by the water) per gram of cracker

Answer:

We know that the specific heat of water is:

c = 1cal/g*°C

This means, that we need 1 cal to increase the temperature of 1 gram of water by 1°C

Here, we increased the temperature of 50.1g of water by 12°C

Then the number of calories needed to do this is given by:

x = (mass of water in grams)*(how much increased the temp in °C)*1cal/g*°C

x = (50.1g*12°C)*1cal/g*°C = 601.2 cal

But we want this in Kcal, remember that:

1Kcal = 1000cal

Then:

601.2 cal = (601.2/1000) Kcal = 0.6012 Kcal

Now, for the cracker part, the energy was released by the amount of cracker that was burned.

The original mass was 2.4g

the final mass ios 1.3g

the difference is:

2.4g - 1.3g = 1.1g

This means that 1.1g was the burned mass.

The number of kilocalories of heat per gram released by the cracker is just:

n = (0.6012 Kcal)/(1.1 g) = 0.547 Kcal/g

0.547 kilocalories per gram.

olchik [2.2K]

Answer:

A. The partial pressure for CH4 = 0.0925atm

B. The partial pressure for C2H6 = 0.925atm

C. The partial pressure for C3H8 = 0.346atm

D. The partial pressure for C4H10 = 0.115atm

Explanation:

Total pressure = 1.48atm

Total mole = 0.4+4+1.5+0.5=6.4

A. Mole fraction of CH4 = 0.4/6.4 = 0.0625

The partial pressure for CH4 = 0.0625 x 1.48 = 0.0925atm

B. Mole fraction of C2H6 = 4/6.4 = 0.625

The partial pressure for C2H6 = 0.625 x 1.48 = 0.925atm

C. Mole fraction of C3H8 = 1.5/6.4 = 0.234

The partial pressure for C3H8 = 0.234 x 1.48 = 0.346atm

D. Mole fraction of C4H10 = 0.5/6.4 = 0.078

The partial pressure for C4H10 = 0.078 x 1.48 = 0.115atm
