Chloroform is a liquid once used for anesthetic. What is the volume of 5.0 g of chloroform? The density of chloroform 1.49 g/mL
mario62 [17]

Answer:

3.3557047 mL

Explanation:

The density can be found using the following formula:

d=\frac{m}{v}

Let's rearrange the formula to find the volume, v.

d*v=\frac{m}{v}*v

d*v=m

\frac{d*v}{d} =\frac{m}{d}

v=\frac{m}{d}

The volume can be found by dividing the mass by the density. The mass of the chloroform is 5 grams and the density is 1.49 grams per milliliter. Therefore,

m= 5g \\d= 1.49 g/mL

Substitute the values into the formula.

v=\frac{5g}{1.49 g/mL}

Divide. When we divide, the grams, or g, in the numerator and denominator will cancel out.

v= \frac{5}{1.49}mL

v=3.3557047 mL

The volume of 5 grams of chloroform is 3.3557047 milliliters

C (graphite) is used as a lubricant, whereas C (diamond) is used as an abrasive. Why is this?
zysi [14]

Answer:

Carbon atoms in graphite and diamond are arranged in different ways. Hence, the two allotropes of carbon have different physical properties.

Explanation:

Both graphite and diamond are both made of only carbon atoms. However, their physical properties differ from each other. Hence, they are called allotropes. Think about how these carbon atoms are arranged in each of the allotropes.

<h3>Graphite</h3>

In graphite, each carbon atom is bonded to three other carbon atoms. These carbon atoms will be located in the same plane. A chunk of graphite can contain many of these planes.

Each carbon atom has four valence electrons. Three of these electrons will be used in the bonds. The other electron will be delocalized. These electrons would flow between the sheets of carbon atoms. That keeps the sheets separate and allow them to slide on top of each other.

<h3>Diamond</h3>

In diamond, each carbon atom is bonded to four other carbon atoms. These carbon atoms will form a tetrahedral network.  

In graphite, there's a significant separation between two adjacent sheets of carbon atoms. The force between the two sheets is rather weak. When a piece of graphite is between two objects that move over one another, the layers in the graphite would also slide over one another. Since the attraction between two adjacent sheets isn't very strong, there wouldn't be much resistance. Hence the graphite acts as a lubricant.  

In contrast, most of the carbon atoms in a piece of diamond would be connected to each other. Unlike the sheets in graphite, in a diamond there are almost no moving parts. Also, the forces between neighboring carbon atoms are very strong. When an external force acts on a chunk of diamond, the carbon atoms would barely move. Hence, the structure appears to be very rigid. That gives diamond its abrasive properties.

Use the molar bond enthalpy data in the table to estimate the value of Δ∘rxn
MakcuM [25]

Answer:

ΔH°rxn = - 433.1 KJ/mol

Explanation:

  • CH4(g) + 4Cl2(g) → CCl4(g) + 4HCl(g)

⇒ ΔH°rxn = 4ΔH°HCl(g) + ΔH°CCl4(g) - 4ΔH°Cl2(g) - ΔH°CH4(g)

∴ ΔH°Cl2(g) = 0 KJ/mol.....pure element in its reference state

∴ ΔH°CCl4(g) = - 138.7 KJ/mol

∴ ΔH°HCl(g) = - 92.3 KJ/mol

∴ ΔH°CH4(g) = - 74.8 KJ/mol

⇒ ΔH°rxn = 4(- 92.3 KJ/mol) + (- 138.7 KJ/mol) - 4(0 KJ/mol) - (- 74.8 KJ/mol)

⇒  ΔH°rxn = - 369.2 KJ/mol - 138.7 KJ/mol - 0 KJ/mol + 74.8 KJ/mol

⇒ ΔH°rxn = - 433.1 KJ/mol

Calculate the volume of hydrogen if you have 12.1 moles of Hydrogen.
vodomira [7]

To Find :

The volume of 12.1 moles hydrogen at STP.

Solution :

We know at STP, 1 mole of gas any gas occupy a volume of 22.4 L.

Let, volume of 12.1 moles of hydrogen is x.

So, x = 22.4 × 12.1 L

x = 271.04 L

Therefore, the volume of hydrogen gas at STP is 271.04 L.
