Why is a homogeneous mixture not considered a pure substance?
stepladder [879]
The answer is "A. a pure substance can be separated by chemical means, while a mixture can be separated by physical means". A pure substance only has one type of substance, whereas a mixture has more than one. A pure substance therefore, can only be separated chemically, because it is not two things mixed together, whereas a mixture can be separated physically because there are multiple substances.

Sulfur dioxide, SO 2 ( g ) , can react with oxygen to produce sulfur trioxide, SO 3 ( g ) , by the reaction 2 SO 2 ( g ) + O 2 (
aleksley [76]

<u>Answer:</u> The amount of heat produced by the reaction is -21.36 kJ

<u>Explanation:</u>

Enthalpy change is defined as the difference in enthalpies of all the product and the reactants each multiplied with their respective number of moles.

The equation used to calculate enthalpy change is of a reaction is:

\Delta H^o_{rxn}=\sum [n\times \Delta H_f_{(product)}]-\sum [n\times \Delta H_f_{(reactant)}]

For the given chemical reaction:

2SO_2(g)+O_2(g)\rightarrow 2SO_3(g)

The equation for the enthalpy change of the above reaction is:

\Delta H_{rxn}=[(2\times \Delta H_f_{(SO_3(g))})]-[(2\times \Delta H_f_{(SO_2(g))})+(1\times \Delta H_f_{(O_2(g))})]

We are given:

\Delta H_f_{(SO_2(g))}=-296.8kJ/mol\\\Delta H_f_{(SO_3(g))}=-395.7kJ/mol\\\Delta H_f_{(O_2(g))}=0kJ/mol

Putting values in above equation, we get:

\Delta H_{rxn}=[(2\times (-395.7))]-[(2\times (-296.8))+(1\times (0))]\\\\\Delta H_{rxn}=-197.8kJ/mol

To calculate the number of moles, we use ideal gas equation, which is:

PV=nRT

where,

P = pressure of the gas = 1.00 bar

V = Volume of the gas = 2.67 L

n = number of moles of gas = ?

R = Gas constant = 0.0831\text{ L. bar }mol^{-1}K^{-1}

T = temperature of the mixture = 25^oC=[25+273]K=298K

Putting values in above equation, we get:

1.00bar\times 2.67L=n\times 0.0831\text{ L. bar }mol^{-1}K^{-1}\times 298K\\\\n=\frac{1\times 2.67}{0.0831\times 298}=0.108mol

To calculate the heat released of the reaction, we use the equation:

\Delta H_{rxn}=\frac{q}{n}

where,

q = amount of heat released = ?

n = number of moles = 0.108 moles

\Delta H_{rxn} = enthalpy change of the reaction = -197.8 kJ/mol

Putting values in above equation, we get:

-197.8kJ/mol=\frac{q}{0.108mol}\\\\q=(-197.8kJ/mol\times 0.108mol)=-21.36kJ

Hence, the amount of heat produced by the reaction is -21.36 kJ

Zippy decides he needs a drink to wash down the cold Pring Pongs. There are two 355 mL cans of Kookie Cola in the mini-bar.
Lady bird [3.3K]

20.7 Degree celsius is the temperature of Zippy's room.

Explanation:

The initial conditions of the kookie cola will be depicted by P1,V1 and T1.

P1= 36.5 psi or 2.4816 atm

V1= 355ml or 0.35 L

T1= 275.5K

The final conditions are given P2,V2 and T2

P2= 38.9 psi or 2.6469 atm

V2 = 355 ml or 0.35 L

also the solubility of the carbon dioxide does not change with temperature.

Applying the formula

P1VI/T1=P2V2/T2

since volume does not change and remains constant.

It can be written as:

P1/T1=P2/T2

= 2.4816/275.5=2.6469/T2

T2= 293.85 K
