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}

How many particles are in a 151 g sample of Li2O?
neonofarm [45]

Answer:

3.052 × 10^24 particles

Explanation:

To get the number of particles (nA) in a substance, we multiply the number of moles of the substance by Avogadro's number (6.02 × 10^23)

The mass of Li2O given in this question is as follows: 151grams.

To convert this mass value to moles, we use;

moles = mass/molar mass

Molar mass of Li2O = 6.9(2) + 16

= 13.8 + 16

= 29.8g/mol

Mole = 151/29.8g

mole = 5.07moles

number of particles (nA) of Li2O = 5.07 × 6.02 × 10^23

= 30.52 × 10^23

= 3.052 × 10^24 particles.

What chemicals need to make liquid bakelite ?
Jet001 [13]
It begins with heating of phenol and formaldehyde in the presence of a catalyst such as hydrochloric acid, zinc chloride, or the base ammonia. This creates a liquid condensation product, referred to as Bakelite A, which is soluble in alcohol, acetone, or additional phenol.
