77.In the early days of automobiles, illumination at night was provided by burning acetylene, C2H2. Though no longer used as aut

o headlamps, acetylene is still used as a source of light by some cave explorers. The acetylene is(was) prepared in the lamp by the reaction of water with calcium carbide, CaC2:CaC2(s)+2H2O(l)⟶Ca(OH)2(s)+C2H2(g). Calculate the standard enthalpy of the reaction. TheΔHf°of CaC2is −15.14 kcal/mol.

Answer:

554.86kj

Explanation: Since 1 mole of CaC2=15.14kj yield 1mole of C2H2

The enthalpy change of H2O is 2*285=570

570+-15.14=554.86kj

Hence Hp is 554.86kj

Answer:

the standard enthalpy for the reaction is

ΔHreaction° = -122.79kJ

Explanation:

Given the enthalpy of formation of Δf° of CaC₂ = -15.14 kcal/mol

step1: convert 15.14kcal/mol to kJ/mol

       1 kcal = 4.184 kJ

hence, -15.14 kcal * 4.184 kJ = -63.35 kJ/mol

Step 2: calculate the standard enthalpy of calcium carbide with water using equation from Hess's law;

       ΔH°reaction = Σₙ * ΔH°product - Σₙ * ΔH°reactant

 ΔH°reaction = [ 1 mol. Ca(OH)₂ * -985.2 kJ/mol. Ca(OH)₂ + 1 mol. C₂H₂ * 227 kJ/mol. C₂H₂] - [1 mol. CaC₂ * -63.36kJ/mol. CaC₂ + 2 mol. H₂O * -285kJ/mol. H₂O]

ΔH°reaction = 1 (-985 kJ) + 1 (227.4 kJ) - 1 (-63.65 kJ) - 2 (-285.83)

                      = -985.2 kJ + 227.4 kJ + 63.35 kJ + 571.66 kJ

ΔH°reaction = -122.79 kJ

The pH scale is used to measure the degree of acidity or alkalinity of a solution. The scale runs from 0 (very acidic solutions can have a negative pH) to 14 (very alkaline solutions can have a pH higher than this), while a neutral liquid such as pure water has a pH of 7. The pH is linked to the concentration of hydrogen ions (H +) in the solution. Diluting an acid or alkali affects the concentration of H +<span> ions in a solution and therefore affects the pH. In this activity, we will investigate how diluting an acid or alkali affects the pH.

How many molecules are there in 5H20?
Svetach [21]

Answer:

The number before any molecular formula applies to the entire formula. So here you have five molecules of water with two hydrogen atoms and one oxygen atom per molecule. Thus you have ten hydrogen atoms and five oxygen atoms in total.

1. Analysis of an unknown substance formerly used in rocket fuel reveals a composition of 93.28% nitrogen and 6.72% hydrogen by
Nitella [24]

Answer:

The formula of the compound is:

N2H2

Explanation:

Data obtained from the question:

Nitrogen (N) = 93.28%

Hydrogen (H) = 6.72%

Next, we shall determine the empirical formula for the unknown compound. This is illustrated below:

N = 93.28%

H = 6.72%

Divide by their molar mass

N = 93.28 /14 = 6.663

H = 6.72 /1 = 6.7

Divide by the smallest

N = 6.663 / 6.663 = 1

H = 6.72 /6.663 = 1

Therefore, the empirical formula is NH.

Now, we can obtain the formula of the compound as follow:

The formula of a compound is simply a multiple of the empirical formula.

[NH]n = 30.04

[14 + 1]n = 30.04

15n = 30.04

Divide both side by 15

n = 30.04/15

n = 2

Therefore, the formula of the compound is:

[NH]n => [NH]2 => N2H2

An iron nail (Fe) is placed into a solution of copper(II) sulfate (CuSO4). After some time, the blue color of the copper (II) su
Sphinxa [80]
The reaction is a displacement reaction. Iron is more reactive than copper. Hence, it displaces copper,forming iron II sulfate and copper metal. 
This reaction is an exothermic reaction, hence it releases energy. The colour change indicates that iron has displaced copper.

Solid Magnesium reacts with a Iron (II) Chloride solution -&gt;
photoshop1234 [79]

Answer:

Magnesium + iron chloride   →    iron + magnesium chloride

Explanation:

It is the single replacement reaction.

Single replacement:

It is the reaction in which one elements replace the other element in compound.

AB + C → AC + B

Molecular equation:

Magnesium + iron chloride   →    iron + magnesium chloride

Chemical equation:

Mg(s)  + FeCl₂(aq)       →     MgCl₂(aq) + Fe(s)

Ionic equation:

Mg(s)  + Fe²⁺(aq) + 2Cl⁻(aq)       →     Mg²⁺(aq) + 2Cl⁻(aq) + Fe(s)

Net ionic equation:

Mg(s) + Fe²⁺(aq)      →   Fe(s) + Mg²⁺(aq)
