Answer:
Hydrogen: -141 kJ/g
Methane: -55kJ/g
The energy released per gram of hydrogen in its combustion is higher than the energy released per gram of methane in its combustion.
Explanation:
According to the law of conservation of the energy, the sum of the heat released by the combustion and the heat absorbed by the bomb calorimeter is zero.
Qc + Qb = 0
Qc = -Qb [1]
We can calculate the heat absorbed by the bomb calorimeter using the following expression.
Q = C . ΔT
where,
C is the heat capacity
ΔT is the change in the temperature
<h3>Hydrogen</h3>
Qc = -Qb = -C . ΔT = -(11.3 kJ/°C) . (14.3°C) = -162 kJ
The heat released per gram of hydrogen is:
<h3>Methane</h3>
Qc = -Qb = -C . ΔT = -(11.3 kJ/°C) . (7.3°C) = -82 kJ
The heat released per gram of methane is:
Answer:
See explanation below
Explanation:
In this case, let's see both molecules per separate:
In the case of SeO₂ the central atom would be the Se. The Se has oxidation states of 2+, and 4+. In this molecule it's working with the 4+, while oxygen is working with the 2- state. Now, how do we know that Se is working with that state?, simply, let's do an equation for it. We know that this molecule has a formal charge of 0, so:
Se = x
O = -2
x + (-2)*2 = 0
x - 4 = 0
x = +4.
Therefore, Selenium is working with +4 state, the only way to bond this molecule is with a covalent bond, and in the case of the oxygen will be with double bond. See picture below.
In the case of CO₂ happens something similar. Carbon is working with +4 state, so in order to stabilize the charges, it has to be bonded with double bonds with both oxygens. The picture below shows.
Answer:
Enantiomers/ Isomers/ Stereoisomers/ Meso compounds/ Constitutional isomers/ Diastereomers.
Explanation:
Isomers are molecules that have the same chemical formula but have different conformation, or in its connections, or the orientation in space. Isomers have different chemical and physical properties (second blank).
The isomers that only differ by the orientation of their atoms in space are called stereoisomers (third blank).
The stereoisomers that have a chiral carbon and do not mirror images of each are called enantiomers (first blank). They can deviate the polarized light.
When a compound has two or more chiral carbons but they compensate for the deviation of the light, and the compound is optically inactive, it's called a meso compound (fourth blank).
When the isomers differ in the way the atoms are connected it's called a constitutional isomer (fifth blank).
When the molecule has more than one chiral carbon, it will have pairs of enantiomers. The isomers that aren't of the same pair are nonsuperimposable mirror images of each other and are called diastereomers (last blank).
