The star betelgeuse is 325 light years away. If it were to explode in a supernova tonight, would we know? Explain your answer.

Chemistry

Dahasolnce [82]3 years ago

Answer:

We will not know immediately

Explanation:

The distance of star Betelgeuse = 325 light years

Therefore, if it where to explode, at the location, we would have a supernovae such that the luminosity of the star multiplies several multiple times

However, due to the distance of Betelgeuse from the Earth, it will take the light of the explosion, 325 years to reach Earth and the explosion as it happens will not be noticed here on Earth immediately

In which thermochemical equations would the ΔH be considered a heat of solution? 2NaHCO3(s)→Na2CO3 (s) + H2O (g) + CO2 (g), ΔH =
enyata [817]

Answer:

NH4NO3 (s) --> NH4+ (aq) + NO3- (aq) H = +25.7 kJ/mol

Explanation:

Step 1: Data given

2NaHCO3(s) → Na2CO3 (s) + H2O (g) + CO2 (g) ΔH = –129 kJ

C6H6(s) → C6H6(l) ΔH=+9.87 kJ

NH4NO3(s )→ NH4+(aq) + NO3–(aq) ΔH=+25.7 kJ/mol

2C8H18(l) + 25O2(g) → 16CO2(g) + 18H2O(l) ΔH =–5,471 kJ/mol

Step 2:

2NaHCO3(s) → Na2CO3 (s) + H2O (g) + CO2 (g)  H = -129 kJ:

This is the decomposition reaction of NaHCO3.

NaHCO3 will break down and form Na2CO3, H2O and CO2

⇒ the heat here is heat of decomposition

C6H6 (s) --> C6H6 (l), H = +9.87 kJ  

In this reaction we'll not form a new product. Benzene will change phase. From its solid form to liquid benzene.

⇒ the heat here is heat of fusion

NH4NO3 (s) --> NH4+ (aq) + NO3- (aq) H = +25.7 kJ/mol  

When solid NH4NO3 is dossolved in water. it will dissociate in ammonium ion (NH4+) and nitrate ion (NO3-).

This reaction shows a solid dissolving in water and therefore the H represents the heat of solution.

⇒ The heat here is <u>heat of solution</u>

2C8H18 (l) + 25O2 (g) --> 16CO2 (g) + 18H2O (l), H = -5,471 kJ/mol: this is a combustion reaction

This is the combustion reaction of octane. CO2 and H2O will be produced.

⇒  The heat here is heat of combustion.

What a piece of metal is left out in the weather for a long time it begin to rush just like an old car the rust we see is iron a
aleksklad [387]

Answer:

Iron w/Zinc. Metals react in weather of any type…and it is chemists job to try to figure out how to slow that process down. Zinc is a metal that is often coated on top of steel which is called galvanizing the steel, or “Galvanized Steel.” This process will help to slow down the rust as the zinc acts as an additional barrier to the air and moisture getting to the steel/iron.

When a sample of aqueous hydrochloric acid was neutralized with aqueous sodium hydroxide in a calorimeter, the temperature of 10
Annette [7]
<span>6.50x10^3 calories. Now we have 4 pieces of data and want a single result. The data is: Mass: 100.0 g Starting temperature: 25.0°C Ending temperature: 31.5°C Specific heat: 1.00 cal/(g*°C) And we want a result with the unit "cal". Now you need to figure out what set of math operations will give you the desired result. Turns out this is quite simple. First, you need to remember that you can only add or subtract things that have the same units. You may multiply or divide data items with different units and the units can combine or cancel each other. So let's solve this: Let's start with specific heat with the unit "cal/(g*°C)". The cal is what we want, but we'ld like to get rid of the "/(g*°C)" part. So let's multiply by the mass: 1.00 cal/(g*°C) * 100.0 g = 100.0 cal/°C We now have a simpler unit of "cal/°C", so we're getting closer. Just need to cancel out the "/°C" part, which we can do with a multiplication. But we have 2 pieces of data using "°C". We can't multiply both of them, that would give us "cal*°C" which we don't want. But we need to use both pieces. And since we're interested in the temperature change, let's subtract them. So 31.5°C - 25.0°C = 6.5°C So we have a 6.5°C change in temperature. Now let's multiply: 6.5°C * 100.0 cal/°C = 6500.0 cal Since we only have 3 significant digits in our least precise piece of data, we need to round the result to 3 significant figures. 6500 only has 2 significant digits, and 6500. has 4. But we can use scientific notation to express the result as 6.50x10^3 which has the desired 3 digits of significance. So the result is 6.50x10^3 calories. Just remember to pay attention to the units in the data you have. They will pretty much tell you exactly what to add, subtract, multiply, or divide.</span>
