A 1.00 g sample of octane (C8H18) is burned in a bomb calorimeter with a heat capacity of 837J∘C that holds 1200. g of water at

lubasha [3.4K]

Answer:

The heat of combustion for 1.00 mol of octane is -5485.7 kJ/mol

Explanation:

Step 1: Data given

Mass of octane = 1.00 grams

Heat capacity of calorimeter = 837 J/°C

Mass of water = 1200 grams

Temperature of water = 25.0°C

Final temperature : 33.2 °C

Step 2: Calculate heat absorbed by the calorimeter

q = c*ΔT

⇒ with c = the heat capacity of the calorimeter = 837 J/°C

⇒ with ΔT = The change of temperature = T2 - T1 = 33.2 - 25.0 : 8.2 °C

q = 837 * 8.2 = 6863.4 J

Step 3: Calculate heat absorbed by the water

q = m*c*ΔT

⇒ m = the mass of the water = 1200 grams

⇒ c = the specific heat of water = 4.184 J/g°C

⇒ ΔT = The change in temperature = T2 - T1 = 33.2 - 25 = 8.2 °C

q = 1200 * 4.184 * 8.2 = 41170.56 J

Step 4: Calculate the total heat

qcalorimeter + qwater = 6863.4 + 41170. 56 = 48033.96 J = 48 kJ

Since this is an exothermic reaction, there is heat released. q is positive but ΔH is negative.

Step 5: Calculate moles of octane

Moles octane = 1.00 gram / 114.23 g/mol

Moles octane = 0.00875 moles

Step 6: Calculate heat combustion for 1.00 mol of octane

ΔH = -48 kJ / 0.00875 moles

ΔH = -5485.7 kJ/mol

The heat of combustion for 1.00 mol of octane is -5485.7 kJ/mol

The specific heat capacity of a certain type of cooking oil is 1.75 J/(g⋅∘C). What is the amount of heat exchanged when the temp

anygoal [31]

Answer:

Q = -811440 J

Explanation:

Given data:

Mass of oil = 2.76 Kg (2.76× 1000 = 2760 g)

Initial temperature = 191 °C

Final temperature = 23°C

Specific heat capacity of oil = 1.75 J/g.°C

Solution:

Formula:

Q = m.c. ΔT

Q = amount of heat absorbed or released

m = mass of given substance

c = specific heat capacity of substance

ΔT = change in temperature

ΔT = 23°C - 191 °C

ΔT = -168°C

Q = 2760 g ×1.75 J/g.°C ×-168°C

Q = -811440 J

Negative sign show heat is released.

If you cut an apple into slices and leave them in the open air, they will slowly turn brown. What kind of chemical change is thi

cupoosta [38]

Answer:

Due to oxidation process apple gets brown color.

Explanation:

When we cut the apple it turn brown in color because of the oxidation process. The peel of apple protect it from the oxidation. When the apple is peel off the oxygen and water molecules in air react with it and oxidation take place. The oxidation process is very efficient in ambient temperature.

For example, if the peal off apple is placed into the refrigerator it take a time to got oxidize and turn brown, but if it is placed in room temperature it quickly turn brown.

when oxygen is react with peel off apple , it trigger the polyphenol oxidase enzyme to oxidize the phenolic compound and quinones are formed which then react with amino acids and produced brown color.
