Answer:
Q = 12.38
Explanation:
The Nernst equation is given as; Ecell = E°cell - (2.303RT/nF) log Q ;where Q is the reaction quotient.
The reaction quotient, Q in a reaction, is the product of the concentrations of the products divided by the product of the concentrations of the reactants.
In an electrochemical cell, Q is the ratio of the concentration of the electrolyte at the anode to that of the electrolyte at the cathode.
Q = [anode]/[cathode]
therefore , Q = 0.052/0.0042 = 12.38
The balanced chemical reaction for the complete combustion of C4H10 is shown below:
C4H10 + (3/2)O2 --> 4CO2 + 5H2O
The enthalpy of formation are listed below:
C4H10: -2876.9 kJ/mol
O2: none (because it is pure substance)
CO2: -393.5 kJ/mol
H2O: -285.8 kJ/mol
The enthalpy of combustion is computed by subtracting the total enthalpy formation of the reactants from that of the products.
ΔHc = (4)(-393.5 kJ/mol) + (5)(-285.8 kJ/mol) - (-2876.9 kJ/mol)
= -<em>126.1 kJ</em>
Thus, the enthalpy of combustion of the carbon is -126.1 kJ.
Answer:
The heaviest element to be created by exothermic nuclear fusion is Iron
Explanation:
Because it is the heaviest element produced during fusion without having to add energy, and it is the lightest element produced during fission without having to add energy. Energy-wise, everything in the universe wants to be iron! Iron is the most abundant element on Earth, making up 34.5 percent of Earth's mass.
Explanation:
P1V1 = nRT1
P2V2 = nRT2
Divide one by the other:
P1V1/P2V2 = nRT1/nRT2
From which:
P1V1/P2V2 = T1/T2
(Or P1V1 = P2V2 under isothermal conditions)
Inverting and isolating T2 (final temp)
(P2V2/P1V1)T1 = T2 (Temp in K).
Now P1/P2 = 1
V1/V2 = 1/2
T1 = 273 K, the initial temp.
Therefore, inserting these values into above:
2 x 273 K = T2 = 546 K, or 273 C.
Thus, increasing the temperature to 273 C from 0C doubles its volume, assuming ideal gas behaviour. This result could have been inferred from the fact that the the volume vs temperature line above the boiling temperature of the gas would theoretically have passed through the origin (0 K) which means that a doubling of temperature at any temperature above the bp of the gas, doubles the volume.
From the ideal gas equation:
V = nRT/P or at constant pressure:
V = kT where the constant k = nR/P. Therefore, theoretically, at 0 K the volume is zero. Of course, in practice that would not happen since a very small percentage of the volume would be taken up by the solidified gas.
The elements that apply are argon, neon and helium. These elements are called inert gasses and have unique properties that make them unreactive. These elements are so unreactive that they are classified as chemically inert.
The elements belong to a group in the periodic table known as the Noble Gases. They belong to family 18 of the periodic table and have atoms with 8 valence electrons. This configuration causes the gases to be unreactive.
