Answer:

-800 kJ/mol

Explanation:

To solve the problem, we have to express the enthalpy of combustion (ΔHc) in kJ per mole (kJ/mol).

First, we have to calculate the moles of methane (CH₄) there are in 2.50 g of substance. For this, we divide the mass into the molecular weight Mw) of CH₄:

Mw(CH₄) = 12 g/mol C + (1 g/mol H x 4) = 16 g/mol

moles CH₄ = mass CH₄/Mw(CH₄)= 2.50 g/(16 g/mol) = 0.15625 mol CH₄

Now, we divide the heat released into the moles of CH₄ to obtain the enthalpy per mole of CH₄:

ΔHc = heat/mol CH₄ = 125 kJ/(0.15625 mol) = 800 kJ/mol

Therefore, the enthalpy of combustion of methane is -800 kJ/mol (the minus sign indicated that the heat is released).

jeka57 [31]

Global warming is the long-term heating of Earth's climate system observed since the pre-industrial period (between 1850 and 1900) due to human activities, primarily fossil fuel burning, which increases heat-trapping greenhouse gas levels in Earth's atmosphere

What is the affect of increasing the water's mass?how does it reflect it's temperature?
Nikolay [14]
I assume what you're asking about is, how does the temperature changes when we increase water's mass, according the formula for heat ? 
Well the formula is : Q=m\cdot c\cdot \Delta t (where Q is heat, m is mass, c is specific heat and \Delta t is change in temperature. So according this formula, increasing mass will increase the substance's heat, but won't effect it's temperature since they are not related. Unless,  if you want to keep the substance's heat constant, in that case when you increase it's mass you will have to decrease the temperature

You are making a 1L solution that you want to be buffered with ammonia and ammonium. However ammonia is a gas that is difficult
zloy xaker [14]

Answer:

54 grams ammonium chloride and 40 grams sodium hydroxide

Explanation:

A buffer is a solution that contains either a weak acid and its salt or a weak base and its salt, the solution is resistant to changes in pH. This means that, a buffer is an aqueous solution of either a weak acid and its conjugate base or a weak base and its conjugate acid.

A Buffer is used to maintain a stable pH in a solution, buffers can neutralize small quantities of additional acid of base. For any buffer solution, there is always a working pH range and a set amount of acid or base that can be neutralized before the pH will change. The amount of acid or base that can be added to a buffer before changing its pH is called its buffer capacity.

A good buffer mixture is supposed to have about equal concentrations of its both components. It is a rule of thumb therefore, that a buffer solution has generally lost its usefulness when one component of the buffer pair is less than about 10% of the other component.

The implication of this is that the ammonium chloride and sodium hydroxide should be of approximately the same concentration. If the masses are dissolved as shown in the answer, then we will have 1molL-1 of each component of the buffer in accordance with the rule of thumb stated above.
