How much heat energy is obtained when 1 kg of ethane gas, C2H6, is burned in oxygen according to the equation: 2C2H6(g)+7O2(g)→4

CO2(g)+6H2O(l)ΔHm=–3120 kJ(3.8.3)

Answer:

52,000 kJ

Explanation:

The combustion reaction is the following:

2 C₂H₆(g) + 7 O₂(g) → 4CO₂(g) + 6H₂O(l)  ΔHm= –3120 kJ

From the chemical reaction and the value of ΔH we can see that 2 moles of ethane gas (C₂H₆(g)) release 3120 kJ of heat energy. So, we have the conversion factor: 3120 kJ/2 moles C₂H₆.

To calculate how many kJ are released from the combustion of 1 kg of ethane, we have to first convert the mass to moles by using the molecular weight (MW) of ethane (C₂H₆):

MW(C₂H₆) = (12 g/mol x 2 C) + (1 g/mol x 6 H) = 30 g/mol

mass = 1 kg x 1000 g/1 kg = 1000 g

moles of C₂H₆= mass/MW = 1000 g/(30 g/mol) = 33.3 mol C₂H₆

Finally, we multiply the conversion factor by the number of moles of C₂H₆ in 1 kg:

heat energy released = 33.3 mol C₂H₆ x 3120 kJ/2 moles C₂H₆ = 52,000 kJ

Therefore, 51,000 kJ are released when 1 kg of ethane is burned.

Question 4
vazorg [7]

Answer:

H(aq) + NO3 (aq) + HF(aq)

Explanation:

In the given mixture of HNO3 (Nitric Acid) and HF (hydrofluoric acid) in water  the major species present are H(aq) + NO3 (aq) + HF(aq).

On the reaction of  HNO3 (Nitric Acid) and HF (hydrofluoric acid) in water  , it will give a polar solution and will form a homogenous mixture.

Hence, the correct answer is "H(aq) + NO3 (aq) + HF(aq)".

_____ is a measure of the average kinetic energy of a gas. Density Enthalpy Pressure Temperature
Fiesta28 [93]

Answer:

Temperature

Explanation:

  • Temperature is a measure of the average kinetic energy of the particles in a sample of a gas.
  • Kinetic energy is the energy possessed by an object because of its motion. As an object absorbs heat the particles move faster so the average kinetic energy and therefore the temperature increases.
  • When the temperature of a body or an object is increased and hence the heat, there is more movement or vibration of particles which translates to more kinetic energy.
