Gram for gram, fats in food have much more chemical energy than sugar. One component of fat is stearic acid, C18H36O2. When a sa

mple of 1.02 g of stearic acid was burned completely in a bomb calorimeter, the temperature of the calorimeter rose by 4.26oC. The heat capacity of the calorimeter was 9.43 kJ/oC. Calculate the molar heat of combustion of stearic acid in kilojoules per mole.

Answer:

\mathbf{-1.12 \times 10^4 \ kJ/mol}

Explanation:

Given that:

mass (m) of the sample = 1.02 g

number of moles of stearic acid  =\dfrac{mass}{molar mass}

= \dfrac{1.02 \ g}{284.49 \ g/mol} \\ \\ = 0.000358 \ moles

The change in temp. \Delta T = 4.26^0 \ C

heat capacity of the calorimeter (c) = 9.43 kJ/° C

Thus, heat due to reaction = cΔT

= 9.43 kJ/° C × 4.26° C

= 40.17 kJ

The heat in kJ/mol = \dfrac{40.17 \ kJ}{0.00358 \ mol}

= 11204.23 kJ/mol

= 1.12 × 10⁴ kJ/mol

As a result of  the reaction is exothermic, the heat reaction of the  combustion is:

\mathbf{-1.12 \times 10^4 \ kJ/mol}

As you move from bottom on the periodic table to the top shielding
masha68 [24]

Answer:

AS we move from bottom to top on periodic table shielding decreased.

Explanation:

As we move from left to right across the periodic table the number of valance electrons in an atom increase. The atomic size tend to decrease in same period of periodic table because the electrons are added with in the same shell. When the electron are added, at the same time protons are also added in the nucleus. The positive charge is going to increase and this charge is greater in effect than the charge of electrons. This effect lead to the greater nuclear attraction.

As we move down the group atomic radii increased with increase of atomic number. The addition of electron in next level cause the atomic radii to increased. The hold of nucleus on valance shell become weaker because of shielding of electrons thus size of atom increased.

As we move from bottom to top the energy level decreased because of decreased in electron thus shielding decreased and atomic size also decreased.

Why isn't geothermal energy used more often?
lianna [129]

Geothermal energy is not used more often because it's hard to find geothermal energy sources that are close to the surface (Option A).

<h3>What is Geothermal energy?</h3>

Geothermal energy is a special type of sustainable renewable source of clean energy that emerges from thermal (temperature) differences on the Earth, e.g., within geysers and similar geological formations.

In conclusion, geothermal energy is not used more often because it's hard to find geothermal energy sources that are close to the surface (Option A).
