Answer:

0.377 J/gºC

Explanation:

From the question given above, the following data were obtained:

Mass of metal (Mₘ) = 65.3 g

Initial temperature of metal (Tₘ) = 99.8 °C

Mass of water (Mᵥᵥ) = 43.7 g

Initial temperature of water (Tᵥᵥ) = 25.7 °C

Equilibrium temperature (Tₑ) = 34.5 °C

Specific heat capacity of water (Cᵥᵥ) = 4.18 J/gºC

Specific heat capacity of metal (Cₘ) =?

The specific heat capacity of metal can be obtained as illustrated below:

Heat lost by metal = heat gained by water.

MₘCₘ(Tₘ – Tₑ) = MᵥᵥCᵥᵥ(Tₑ – Cᵥᵥ)

65.3 × Cₘ (99.8 – 34.5) = 43.7 × 4.18 (34.5 – 25.7)

65.3Cₘ × 65.3 = 182.666 × 8.8

4264.09Cₘ = 1607.4608

Divide both side by 4264.09

Cₘ = 1607.4608 / 4264.09

Cₘ = 0.377 J/gºC

Therefore the specific heat capacity of the metal is 0.377 J/gºC

A scientist measures the standard enthalpy change for the following reaction to be -213.5 kJ: CO(g) 3 H2(g)CH4(g) H2O(g) Based o
Nady [450]

Answer:

Approximately \rm -249.4\; kJ \cdot mol^{-1}.

Explanation:

\rm CO\; (g) + 3\; H_2\; (g) \to CH_4\; (g) + H_2 O\; (g).

Note that hydrogen gas \rm H_2\; (g) is the most stable allotrope of hydrogen. Since \rm H_2 is naturally a gas under standard conditions, the standard enthalpy of formation of \rm H_2\; (g) would be equal to zero. That is:

  • \Delta H^{\circ}_f(\rm H_2\; (g)) = 0

Look up the standard enthalpy of formation for the other species:

  • \Delta H^{\circ}_f(\rm CO\; (g)) = -110.5\; kJ \cdot mol^{-1},
  • \Delta H^{\circ}_f(\rm CH_4\; (g)) = -74.6\; kJ \cdot mol^{-1}.

(Source: CRC Handbook of Chemistry and Physics, 84th Edition (2004).)

\displaystyle \Delta H^{\circ}_\text{reaction} = \sum \Delta H^{\circ}_f(\text{products}) - \sum \Delta H^{\circ}_f(\text{reactants}).

In other words, the standard enthalpy change of a reaction is equal to:

  • the sum of enthalpy change of all products, minus
  • the sum of enthalpy change of all reactants.

In this case,

\begin{aligned} & \sum \Delta H^{\circ}_f(\text{products}) \\ =& \Delta H^{\circ}_f(\mathrm{CH_4\;(g)}) + \Delta H^{\circ}_f(\mathrm{H_2O\;(g)})\end{aligned}.

\begin{aligned} & \sum \Delta H^{\circ}_f(\text{reactants}) \\ =& \Delta H^{\circ}_f(\mathrm{CO\;(g)}) + 3\times \Delta H^{\circ}_f(\mathrm{H_2\;(g)})\end{aligned}.

Note that the number 3 in front of \Delta H^{\circ}_f(\mathrm{H_2\;(g)}) corresponds to the coefficient of \rm H_2 in the chemical equation.

\begin{aligned}&\Delta H^{\circ}_\text{reaction} \\ =& \sum \Delta H^{\circ}_f(\text{products}) - \sum \Delta H^{\circ}_f(\text{reactants})\\ =& \left(\Delta H^{\circ}_f(\mathrm{CH_4\;(g)}) + \Delta H^{\circ}_f(\mathrm{H_2O\;(g)})\right) \\ &- \left(\Delta H^{\circ}_f(\mathrm{CO\;(g)}) + 3\times \Delta H^{\circ}_f(\mathrm{H_2\;(g)})\right) \\ =& \Delta H^{\circ}_f(\mathrm{CH_4\;(g)}) + (-74.6) - (3 \times 0 -110.5)\end{aligned}.

In other words,

\begin{aligned} & \Delta H^{\circ}_f(\mathrm{CH_4\;(g)}) + (-74.6) - (3 \times 0 -110.5) \\=& \Delta H^{\circ}_\text{reaction} = -213.5\; \rm kJ\cdot mol^{-1} \end{aligned}.

Therefore,

\begin{aligned}& \Delta H^{\circ}_f(\mathrm{CH_4\;(g)}) \\ =& -213.5 - ((-74.6) - (3 \times 0 -110.5)) \\=& -249.4\; \rm kJ\cdot mol^{-1} \end{aligned}.

Dilute aqueous hydrogen peroxide is used as a bleaching agent and for disinfecting surfaces and small cuts. its concentration is
finlep [7]

7.62 grams.

<h3>Explanation</h3>

According to the question, 0.125 L of the 20 "volumes hydrogen peroxide" solution would decompose to produce 0.125 \times 20 = 2.5 \; \text{L} of oxygen gas.

The question indicates that the volume of \text{O}_2 here is measured under STP, which means that every \text{mol} of gas would have a volume of 22.4 \; \text{L}. There would thus be 2.5 / 22.4 = 0.112 \; \text{mol} of molecules in the 2.5 L of \text{O}_2 produced.

2\; \text{H}_2\text{O}_2\; (aq)\to 2\; \text{H}_2\text{O} \; (l) + \text{O}_2 \; (g)

It takes two moles of hydrogen peroxide to produce one mole of oxygen. The unknown solution must contain 0.224 mol of hydrogen peroxide to produce all the 0.112 mol of oxygen.

Hydrogen peroxide has a formula mass of 34.02, meaning that each mole of it would have a mass of 34.02 grams. 0.224 mol of \text{H}_2\text{O}_2 would thus have a mass of 0.224 \times 34.02 = 7.62 \; \text{g}

A chemical equation is shown:
Alona [7]

C2H4 + O2 → CO2 + H2O

eqn is unbalanced - balancing by counting no. of C n H atoms

C=2 n H=4 in one C2H4

so the reaction will form two CO2 + two H2O

counting no. of O atoms: 2*2 + 2*1

=4+2

=6
