1a. A researcher accidentally spilled some sand into his beaker containing crystalline compound X. Knowing what he did about mel
Sunny_sXe [5.5K]

Answer:

See explanation

Explanation:

Many organic compounds have low melting points. This is due to the fact that many of these compounds are non polar.

However, compound X is slightly polar but still has a melting point which is far less than that of sand composed of a high melting point inorganic material.

Since sand has a much higher melting point compared to compound X, the researcher need not be worried that sand was spilled into his beaker.

Stearic acid (C18H36O2) is a fatty acid, a molecule with a long hydrocarbon chain and an organic acid group (COOH) at the end. I
Paha777 [63]

Answer:

There is 9671  Kj of heat released

Explanation:

<u>Step 1:</u> The balanced equation:

C18H36O2(s) + 26O2(g) --> 18CO2(g)+18H2O(g)

This means for 1 mole of C18H36O2 consumed there is 26 moles of O2 needed to produce 18 moles of CO2 and 18 moles of H2O.

<u>Step 2:</u> Calculate the heat of combustion

ΔH (combustion) = [18*(ΔHf of CO2) + 18*(ΔHf of H2O)] - [1*(ΔHf of C18H36O2) + 26*(ΔHf of O2)]

ΔH (combustion) = [18*(-394 kJ/mol) + 18*(-242 kJ/mol)] - [1*(-948 kJ/mol) + 26*(0 kJ/mol)]

ΔH (combustion) = [(-7092 kJ/mol) + (-4356 kJ/mol)] - (-948 kJ/mol)

= -10500 kJ/mol

ΔH (combustion) = heat released / number of moles of stearic acid

<u>Step 3:</u> Calculate moles of stearic acid

moles of stearic acid = mass / Molar mass of stearic acid

moles of stearic acid = 262g / 284.48 g/mole = 0.921 moles

<u>Step 4:</u> Calculate moles of oxygen

moles of O2 = 914.5 / 32g/mole

moles of O2 = 28.578125 moles

Stearic acid is the limiting reactant: it will <u>completely react</u>

There will react 26*0.921 mole = 23.946 mole of O2

This means there will remain 4.63 moles of O2

<u>Step 5:</u> Calculate heat released

q = (ΔH combustion) * (moles of stearic acid) = (-10500 kJ/mol) * (0.921 moles) = 9671 Kj

There is 9671  Kj of heat released

How does the smell of food being cooked spread so fast ???
sladkih [1.3K]

Answer:

When we cook food in the kitchen, that's the region of higher concentration of the smell. By diffusion, the smell spreads to the whole room and thereby whole house, so anyone standing at a distance, can smell it.

How many photons are produced in a laser pulse of 0.862 J at 691 nm?
Inga [223]
To calculate how many photons are in a certain amount of energy (joules) we need to know how much energy is in one photon.
Start by using two equations:
Energy of a photon = Frequency * Planck's constant (6.626 * 10^(-34) J-s)
Speed of light (constant 3 * 10^8 m/s) = Frequency * Wavelength
Which means:
frequency = Speed of Light / Wavelength
So energy of a photon = (Speed of light * Planck's constant)/(Wavelength)
You may have seen this equation as E = hc/<span>λ</span>
We have a wavelength of 691 nm or 691 * 10^-9 meters
So we can plug in all of our knowns:
E = (6.626 * 10^(-34) J-s) * (3.00 * 10^8 m/s) / (691 * 10^-9 m) = 
2.88 * 10^(-19) joules per photon
Now we have joules per photon, and the total number of joules (0.862 joules)
,so divide joules by joules per photon, and we have the number of photons:
0.862 J/ (2.88 * 10^(-19) J/photon) = 3.00 * 10^18 photons.
