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

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.

Two solutions, initially at 24.60 °C, are mixed in a coffee cup calorimeter (Ccal = 15.5 J/°C). When a 100.0 mL volume of 0.100
yulyashka [42]

Answer:

ΔH = -59.6kJ/mol

Explanation:

The reaction that occurs between Ag⁺ and Cl⁻ ions is:

Ag⁺ + Cl⁻ → AgCl(s) + ΔH

To find ΔH we need to obtain moles of reaction and heat released in the reaction because ΔH is defined as heat released per mole of reaction.

<em>Moles of reaction:</em>

Moles of Ag⁺ and Cl⁻ added are:

Ag⁺: 0.100L * (0.100mol / L) = 0.01moles

Cl⁻: 0.100L * (0.200mol / L) 0 0.02 moles

That means limiting reactant is Ag⁺ and moles of reaction are 0.01 moles

<em>Heat released:</em>

To find heat released we must use coffe cup calorimeter equation:

Q = C*m*ΔT

<em>Where C is specific heat of solution (4.18J/g°C), m is the mass of solution (200g because there are 100 + 100mL = 200mL and density of solution is 1g/mL) and ΔT is change in temperature (25.30°C - 24.60°C = 0.70°C).</em>

Replacing:

Q = C*m*ΔT

Q = 4.18J/g°C * 200g * 0.70°C

Q = 585,2J

Is total heat released.

The calorimeter absorbs:

15.5J / °C * 0.7°C = 10.85

Thus, when 0.01 moles reacts, 585.2J + 10.85  = 596.05J are released (Heat released is heat abosrbed by calorimeter + Heat absorbed by water) and ΔH is:

ΔH = 596.05J / 0.01 moles =

ΔH = 59605J / mol =

<h3>ΔH = -59.6kJ/mol</h3>

<em>As heat is released, ΔH < 0.</em>

Determine the mass in grams of 3.75 x 10^21 atoms of zinc. (the mass of one mole of zinc is 65.39 g)
Nastasia [14]

Answer: The mass in 3.75 \times 10^{21} atoms of zinc is 0.405 g.

Explanation:

Given: Atoms of zinc = 3.75 \times 10^{21}

It is known that 1 mole of every substance contains 6.022 \times 10^{23} atoms. So, the number of moles in given number of atoms is as follows.

Moles = \frac{3.75 \times 10^{21}}{6.022 \times 10^{23}}\\= 0.622 \times 10^{-2}\\= 0.0062 mol

As moles is the mass of a substance divided by its molar mass. So, mass of zinc (molar mass = 65.39 g/mol) is calculated as follows.

Moles = \frac{mass}{molar mass}\\0.0062 mol = \frac{mass}{65.39 g}\\mass = 0.405 g

Thus, we can conclude that the mass in 3.75 \times 10^{21} atoms of zinc is 0.405 g.
