When a hydrocarbon fuel is burned, almost all of the carbon in the fuel burns completely to form CO2 (carbon dioxide), which is

the principal gas causing the greenhouse 102 ENERGY, ENERGY TRANSFER effect and thus global climate change. On average, 0.59 kg of CO2 is produced for each kWh of electricity generated from a power plant that burns natural gas. A typical new household refrigerator uses about 700 kWh of electricity per year. Determine the amount of CO2 production that is due to the refrigerators in a city with 300,000 households.

Answer:

1.239 * 10^8 Kg

Explanation:

Since all the electricity consumed comes from natural gas;

amount of electricity consumed = 700 * 300,000 = 2.1 * 10^8 kWh

So, amount of CO2 consumed is given by;

amount of electricity consumed * amount of CO2 per kWh

Hence,

Amount of CO2 = 2.1 * 10^8 kWh * 0.59 = 1.239 * 10^8 Kg

The formula for sulphur dioxide  is SO_{2} as the name di suggests two molecules.


Answer 4) Molar mass of ethyne (C2H2) is 26 g/mol True.


As the ethyene molecule consists of 2 C atoms and 2 H atoms it will be (12 X 2) + (2 X 1) = 26


Answer 5) 22 gm of CO2 consists of 1 mole. False

 


The 1 mole of CO_{2} contains 1 C atom and 2  O atoms (12) + (16 X 2) = 44


Answer 6) Number of molecules in 32 gram of oxygen is 6.02 x 10^{23}. False


Only 1 moles of any substance will consist of 6.02 x 10^{23} molecules.


Answer 7) Water is an atom False.


Water is a molecule of 2 atoms namely hydrogen and oxygen.


Answer 8) Formula for sulphur dioxide is SO_{2} true.


As the name suggest sulphur along with two oxygen in it.


Answer 9) Clusters of atoms that act as an ion is called polyatomic ion. True


The clusters of ions from different atoms of the elements can be called as polyatomic ions.


Answer 10) Mass of 1 mole of a substance is called its formula mass. False.


As in formula mass we take the sum of the atomic weights of atoms in a molecule. And for 1 mole of a substance it is called as molar mass.


Answer 11) In a pure chemical compound, elements are always present in a definite proportion by mass. True


In any chemical reaction, the pure chemical compound is always found to have elements with definite proportion to their masses.

Calculate the mass, in grams, of cucl2 (mw = 134.452 g/mol) required to prepare 250.0 ml of a 6.11 % w/v cu2 (mw = 63.546 g/mol)
Sever21 [200]

6.11% w/v of Cu2+ implies that 6.11 g of Cu2+ is present in 100 ml of the solution

therefore,  250 ml of the solution would have: 250 ml * 6.11 g/100 ml = 15.275 g

# moles of Cu2+ = 15.275 g/63.546 g mole-1 = 0.2404 moles

1 mole of CuCl2 contain 1 mole of Cu2+ ion

Hence, 0.2404 moles of Cu2+ would correspond to 0.2404 moles of CuCl2

Molar mass of CuCl2 = 134.452 g/mole

The mass of CuCl2 required = 0.2404 moles * 134.452 g/mole = 32.32 grams

RUDIKE [14]

Answer:

a) 2.541 mol/MJ;

b) 1.124 mol/MJ;

c) 0.4354 mol/MJ;

d) 0.1835 mol/MJ

Explanation:

The enthalpy of formation (ΔH°f) is the enthalpy of a reaction to form a compound by its constituents. For CO₂, ΔH°f = - 393.5 kJ/mol.

The enthalpy of a reaction is the sum of the enthalpy of the products (each one multiplied by the number of moles) less the sum of the enthalpy of the reactants (each one multiplied by the number of moles). The ΔH°f for simple substances (with one atom) is 0. The combustion is the reaction between the fuel and the oxygen.

a) The combution reaction is:

C(s) + O₂(g) → CO₂(g)

ΔH°rxn = -393.5 kJ/mol = -393.5x10⁻³ MJ/mol

Number of moles per MJ released: 1/|ΔH°rxn|

n = 1/(393.5x10⁻³) = 2.541 mol/MJ

b) The combustion reaction is:

CH₄(g) + 2O₂(g) → CO₂(g) + 2H₂O(l)

H₂O is in the liquid state because it's at 1 atm and 25ºC.

ΔH°f, H₂O(l) = -285.3 kJ/mol

ΔH°f, O₂(g) = 0

ΔH°f, CH₄(g) = -74.8 kJ/mol

ΔH°rxn = [2*(-285.3 ) + 1*(-393.5)] - [1*(-74.8)]

ΔH°rxn = -889.3 kJ/mol = -889.3x10⁻³ MJ/mol

n = 1/889.3x10⁻³ = 1.124 mol/MJ

c) C₃H₈(g) + 10O₂(g) → 3CO₂(g) + 4H₂O(l)

ΔH°f,C₃H₈(g) = -25.2 kJ/mol

ΔH°rxn = [4*(-285.3) + 3*(-393.5)] - [1*(-25.2)]

ΔH°rxn = -2,296.5 kJ/mol = -2.2965 MJ/mol

n = 1/2.2965 = 0.4354 mol/MJ

d) C₈H₁₈(l) + (25/2)O₂(g) → 8CO₂(g) + 9H₂O(l)

ΔH°f, C₈H₁₈(l) = -250.1 kJ/mol

ΔH°rxn = [9*(-283.5) + 8*(-393.5)] - [1*(-250.1)]

ΔH°rxn = -5,449.4 kJ/mol = -5.4494 MJ/mol

n = 1/5.4494 = 0.1835 mol/MJ
