A student measures 10 g of baking soda and mixes it with 5 grams of vinegar. The mixture begins to bubble and fizz and feels col

d to the touch. Once the reaction is over the student weighs the solution and discovers that the resulting mixture weighs only 12g. What happened to the missing 3 grams of product? Use the Law of Conservation of Matter in your answer.

Answer:

Some of the product is a gas that goes to the atmosphere.

Explanation:

Based on the chemical reaction of baking soda (Sodium bicarbonate: NaHCO₃) with vinegar (Acetic acid: CH₃COOH):

NaHCO₃(aq) + CH₃COOH(aq) → H₂O(aq) +  CO₂(g) + CH₃COONa(aq)

When the reaction occurs, one of the products (CO₂) is a gas that will disappear of the mixture to stay in the atmosphere. That is the reason why there are missing 3 grams.

Enthalpy of combustion of ethyl alcohol, C2 H5 OH, is – 950 kJ mol–1. How much heat is evolved when one gram of ethyl alcohol bu
melomori [17]
<h3>Answer:</h3>

20.62 Kilo-joules

<h3>Explanation:</h3>
  • The Enthalpy of combustion of ethyl alcohol is -950 kJ/mol.
  • This means that 1 mole of ethyl alcohol evolves a quantity of heat of 950 Joules when burned.

Molar mass of ethyl ethanol = 46.08 g/mol

Therefore;

46.08 g of  C₂H₅OH evolves heat equivalent to 950 kilojoules

We can calculate the amount of heat evolved by 1 g of C₂H₅OH

Heat evolved by 1 g of C₂H₅OH  = Molar enthalpy of combustion ÷ Molar mass

                                      = 950 kJ/mol ÷ 46.08 g/mol

                                      = 20.62 Kj/g

Therefore, a gram of C₂H₅OH  will evolve 20.62 kilo-joules of heat

Ammonium perchlorate NH4ClO4 is a powerful solid rocket fuel, used in the Space Shuttle boosters. It decomposes into nitrogen N2
patriot [66]

Answer: 0.055 moles of O_2 are produced by the reaction of 0.055 mol of ammonium perchlorate.

Explanation:

The balanced chemical reaction for decomposition of ammonium perchlorate is:

2NH_4ClO_4\rightarrow N_2+Cl_2+2O_2+4H_2O  

According to stoichiometry :

2 moles of NH_4ClO_4 produce = 2 moles of O_2

Thus 0.055 moles of NH_4ClO_4 will produce =\frac{2}{2}\times 0.055=0.055moles of O_2

Thus 0.055 moles of O_2 are produced by the reaction of 0.055mol of ammonium perchlorate.
