Answer:

ΔH° = -67.9 kJ

ΔS° = 536.7 J/K = 0.5367 kJ/K

ΔG° = -227.8 kJ

the reaction is spontaneous at all temperatures

Explanation:

Step 1: Data given

Temperature = 25.0 °C

ΔH°f(glucose) = - 1274.5 kJ/ mol

ΔH°f(C2H5OH) = -277.7 kJ/mol

ΔH°f(CO2) = -393.5 kJ/mol

S°(glucose) = 212.1 J/ K)

S°(C2H5OH) = 160.7 J/K

S°(CO2) = 213.7 J/K

Step 2: The balanced equation

C6H12O6(s) → 2 C2H5OH(l) + 2 CO2(g)

Step 3: Calculate ΔH°

ΔH° = 2*ΔH°f(C2H5OH) + 2ΔH°f(CO2) - ΔH°f(glucose)

ΔH° = 2*(-277.7 kJ) + 2*(-393.5 kJ) - (-1274.5 kJ)

ΔH° = -555.4 kJ + (-787 kJ) +1274.5 kJ)

ΔH° = -67.9 kJ

Step 4: Calculate ΔS°

ΔS° = 2*S°(C2H5OH) + 2*S°(CO2) - S°(glucose)

ΔS° = 2*(160.7 J/K) + 2(213.7 J/K) - 212.1 J/K

ΔS° = 321.4 + 427.4 J/K - 212.1 J/K

ΔS° = 536.7 J/K = 0.5367 kJ/K

Step 5: Calculate ΔG°

ΔG° =ΔH° - T*ΔS°

ΔG° = -67.9 kJ - 298K * 0.5367 kJ/K

ΔG° = -227.8 kJ

Since ΔS° is positive and ΔH° is negative, ΔG° will be negative

This means ΔG° is negative at all temperature.

A negative ΔG° means the reaction is spontaneous at all temperatures

If you start a chemical reaction with 5 atoms of hydrogen, how many hydrogen atoms will you have when it is finished? Group of a

mote1985 [20]

Answer:

5 atoms

Explanation:

According to the law of conservation of mass, "matter is neither created nor destroyed in the cause of a chemical reaction".

We finish with what we start with in a chemical reaction. Although new species might form, the number of atoms on both sides of the expression will still be maintained.

All chemical reactions obey this law of conservation.

Consider the reaction 2 NO + O2 → 2 NO2

Sonbull [250]

Answer:

(a) Rate at which $NO_2$ is formed is 0.050 M/s

(b) Rate at which $O_2$ is consumed is 0.0250 M/s.

Explanation:

The given reaction is:-

$2NO+O_2\rightarrow 2NO_2$

The expression for rate can be written as:-

$-\frac{1}{2}\frac{d[NO]}{dt}=-\frac{d[O_2]}{dt}=\frac{1}{2}\frac{d[NO_2]}{dt}$

Given that:- $\frac{d[NO]}{dt}=-0.050\ M/s$ (Negative sign shows consumption)

$-\frac{1}{2}\frac{d[NO]}{dt}=\frac{1}{2}\frac{d[NO_2]}{dt}$

$-\frac{d[NO]}{dt}=\frac{d[NO_2]}{dt}$

$-(-0.050\ M/s)=\frac{d[NO_2]}{dt}$

$\frac{d[NO_2]}{dt}=0.050\ M/s$

(a) Rate at which $NO_2$ is formed is 0.050 M/s

$-\frac{1}{2}\frac{d[NO]}{dt}=-\frac{d[O_2]}{dt}$

$-\frac{1}{2}\times -0.050\ M/s=-\frac{d[O_2]}{dt}$

$\frac{d[O_2]}{dt}=0.0250\ M/s$

(b) Rate at which $O_2$ is consumed is 0.0250 M/s.

Based on your knowledge of intermolecular forces and trends, select the statement that is most accurately compares HF and HCl.

tangare [24]

Answer:

(A) The intermolecular attraction between HF molecules are stronger than between HCl molecules mainly to due hydrogen bonding.

Explanation:

Since Flourine is highly electronegative and as such, when it bonds with Hydrogen it forms a hydrogen bond. Whereas the HCL molecule is a polar molecule whose inter-molecular forces are dipole dipole interactions. Although a Hydrogen bond is a type of dipole dipole interaction it is stronger than the traditional dipole dipole forces and London dispersion forces. HF also has a shorter bond length which makes the bond and inter-molecular forces stronger as compared to HCL.

5. An object is a regular, rectangular, solid with dimensions of 2 cm by 3cm by 2cm. It has a mass of 24 g. find its density.

m_a_m_a [10]

Answer:

Density, D = 2g/cm^3

Explanation:

Given the following data;

Length = 2cm

Width = 3cm

Height = 2cm

Mass = 24g

Density = ?

Volume of a rectangular solid (V) = Length × Weight × Height

Therefore, V = L× W × H

Substituting the values, we have;

$V = 2 *3 * 2 = 12$

V = 12cm

Density can be defined as the ratio of mass to volume i.e mass all over volume.

Mathematically, $Density = \frac{Mass}{Volume}$

$D = \frac{M}{V}$

Substituting the values, we have;

$D = \frac{24}{12}$

<em>Density, D = 2g/cm^3</em>

Hence, the density of the rectangular solid is 2g/cm^3.
