The sun
The heat source for our planet is the sun. Energy from the sun is transferred through space and through the earth's atmosphere to the earth's surface. Since this energy warms the earth's surface and atmosphere, some of it is or becomes heat energy.

The heat of combustion of ethane is -337.0kcal at 25 degrees celsius. what is the heat of the reaction when 3g of ethane is burn
Ghella [55]

Answer:

Q = -33.6kcal .

Explanation:

Hello there!

In this case, according to the equation for the calculation of the total heat of reaction when a fixed mass of a fuel like ethane is burnt, we can write:

Q=n*\Delta _cH

Whereas n stands for the moles and the other term for the enthalpy of combustion. Thus, for the required total heat of reaction, we first compute the moles of ethane in 3 g as shown below:

n=3g*\frac{1mol}{30.08g}=0.1mol

Next, we understand that -337.0kcal is the heat released by the combustion of 1 mole of ethane, therefore, to compute Q, we proceed as follows:

Q=0.1mol*-337.0\frac{kcal}{mol}\\\\Q=-33.6kcal

Best regards!

Find the mass of each of these substances? 2.40 mol NaOH
damaskus [11]
Na = 23 x 2.40 = 55.2
O = 16 x 2.40 = 38.4
H = 1 x 2.40 = 2.40

55.2 + 38.4 + 2.4 = 96

2.40 mol of NaOH = 96 amu

The equation that conforms with the particle model is 4C + 6O2 ----> 4CO2 + 2O2.

<h3>What is a chemical reaction?</h3>

The term chemical reaction has to do with the combination of substances to give products. We know that reactants and products must follow the law of conservation of mass.

Hence, the equation that conforms with the particle model is 4C + 6O2 ----> 4CO2 + 2O2.

Which of these has the most covalent character? <br> NaF Caf2 Bef2 CsF SrF2
Ksenya-84 [330]

Thus BeF2 is of most covalent character.

Anyways, covalent/ionic character is a bit tricky to figure out; we measure the difference in electronegativity of two elements bonding together and we use the following rule of thumb: if the charge is 0 (or a little more), the bond is non-polar covalent; if the charge is > 0 but < 2.0 (some references say 1.7), the bond is polar covalent; if the charge is > 2.0 then the bond is ionic. Covalent character refers to smaller electronegativity difference while ionic character refers to greater electronegativity difference.


Now, notice all of our bonds are with F, fluorine, which has the highest electronegativity of 3.98. This means that to determine character we need to consider the electronegativities of the other elements -- whichever has the greatest electronegativity has the least difference and most covalent character.
Na, sodium, has electronegativity of 0.93, so our difference is ~3 -- meaning our bond is ionic. Ca, calcium, has 1.00, leaving our difference to again be ~3 and therefore the bond is ionic. Be, beryllium, has 1.57 yielding a difference of ~2.5, meaning we're still dealing with ionic bond. Cs, cesium, has 0.79, meaning our difference is again ~3 and therefore again our compound is of ionic bond. Lastly, we have Sr, strontium, with an electronegativity of 0.95 and therefore again a difference of roughly 3 and an ionic bond. <span>
