Answer:
(a) 282 kJ
(b) 67.4 Calories
Explanation:
(a) The molar enthalpy, ΔH = −2802.5 kJ/mol, means that the heat produced by the reaction is 2802.5 kJ per mol of glucose.
We can multiply the enthalpy by the number of moles of glucose to get the heat produced by the metabolism. Grams of glucose will be converted to moles using the molar mass of glucose (180.156 g/mol):
(18.1 g)(mol/180.156g)(2802.5 kJ/mol) = 282 kJ
(b) Using the result we obtained above, kJ will be converted to Calories using the conversion factor of 4.184J = 1 cal. Calorie with a capital C is the same as a kilocalorie.
(282 kJ)(1 cal/4.184J) = 67.4 kcal = 67.4 Calories
Elements are made of only one kind of atom. The molecule is made up of two or more kinds of atoms. There is no physical change that can separate the compounds into more than one kind of substance. This makes a compound a pure substance.
Explanation:
Aluminium - Al
Iron Sulfate - FeSO4
The reaction is given as;
Al + FeSO₄ --> Al₂ (SO₄) ₃ + Fe
The balanced equation is given as;
2 Al + 3 FeSO₄ --> Al₂ (SO₄) ₃ + 3 Fe
In words it is given as;
Aluminium + Iron Sulfate --> Aluminium Sulfate + Iron
