The combustion of 1.685 g of propanol (C3H7OH) increases the temperature of a bomb calorimeter from 298.00 K to 302.16 K. The he

AfilCa [17]

Answer:

ΔH = - 2020.57 kJ/mol

Explanation:

Given that :

mass of propanol = 1.685 g

the molar molar mass = 60 g/mol

Thus; the number of moles = mass/molar mass

= 1.685 g/60 g/mol

= 0.028 g/mol

However ;

ΔH = heat capacity C × Δ T

Given that:

The temperature increases from 298.00 K to 302.16 K.

Then ;

Δ T = 302.16 K - 298.00 K

Δ T = 4.16 K

heat capacity C = 13.60 kJ/K

∴

ΔH = 13.60 kJ/K × 4.16 K

ΔH = 56.576 kJ

The equation of the given reaction can be represented as :

$C_3H_7OH_{(l)}+\dfrac{3}{2}O_{2(g)} \to 3CO_{2(g)} +4H_2O_{(l)}$

Thus for 0.028 mol of heat liberated; ΔH = 56.576 kJ

For 1 mole of heat liberated now:

ΔH = 56.576 kJ/0.028 mol

ΔH = 2020.57 kJ/mol

SInce , Heat is liberated, the reaction undergoes an exothermic reaction thus;

ΔH = - 2020.57 kJ/mol

Explain how the following experimental errors affect the final calculation of the kilocalories per gram for a food item. Be spec

Ainat [17]

Answer:

a) the final kilocalories per gram for food will be less because the mass was reduced

b)the final kilocalories per gram for food will be less since

c) the final kilocalories per gram for food will be less since the reaction will eventually go to completion

d) the final kilocalories per gram for food will be more.

Explanation:

a) the final kilocalories per gram for food will be less because the mass was reduced from 110.3 to 101.3g

b)the final kilocalories per gram for food will be less since some marshmallow fell off before the reaction

c) the final kilocalories per gram for food will be less since the reaction will eventually go to completion

d) the final kilocalories per gram for food will be more since the thermometer that got stuck will add to the value of final kilocalories per gram

Write the formula for potassium oxide. why do you not need prefixes in the name

Molodets [167]

Potassium oxide: K₂O.

There's no need for prefixes since K₂O is an ionic compound.

<h3>Explanation</h3>

Find the two elements on a periodic table:

Potassium- K- on the left end of period four.
Oxygen- O- near the right end of periodic two.

Elements on the bottom-left corner of the periodic table are metals. Those on the top-right corner are nonmetals.

Potassium is a metal,
Oxygen is a nonmetal.

A metal and a nonmetal combine to form an ionic compound. Potassium oxide is likely to be an ionic compound. It contains two types of ions:

Potassium ions: Potassium is group 1 of the periodic table. It is an alkaline metal. Like other alkaline metals such as sodium Na, potassium K tends to lose one electron and form ions of charge +1 in compounds. The ion would be K⁺.

Oxide ions from oxygen: Oxygen is the second most electronegative element on the periodic table. It tends to gain two electrons and form the oxide ion $\text{O}^{2-}$ when it combines with metals.

The two types of ions carry opposite charges. They shall pair up at a certain ratio such that they balance the charge on each other. The charge on each $\text{O}^{2-}$ ion is twice that on a $\text{K}^{+}$ ion. Each $\text{K}^{+}$ would pair up with two $\text{O}^{2-}$ . Hence the subscript in the formula: $\text{K}_{\bf 2}\text{O}$ .

There are two classes of compounds:

Covalent compounds, which need prefixes, and
Ionic compounds, which need no prefix.

Prefixes are needed only in covalent compounds. For instance in the covalent compound carbon dioxide $\text{CO}_2$ , the prefix di- indicates that there are two oxygen atoms in the formula $\text{CO}_2$ . However, there's no need for prefix in ionic compounds such as $\text{K}_2\text{O}$ .
