How much energy is contained in a particle that has a mass of m = 1 ug

Chemistry

Fudgin [204]3 years ago

5 0

Answer:

90MJ

Explanation:

Energy= mc^2

Where c= speed of light

m= mass of the object

Mass= m = 1 ug ( then we need to convert from micro gram to micro Joule)= 0.000000001

C= 3× 10^8 m/s

E= = [0.000000001 × (3× 10^8 )^2]

E = [0.000000001 × 89 875 517 873 681]

= 89 875 517.9 joule

Then we can convert to megajoules as

90MJ

What do the coefficients in front of the reactants and products in a chemical reaction represent ?

makvit [3.9K]

It indicates the number of moles of reactants and products

Explanation:

The coefficients in front of the reactants and products in a chemical reaction represents the number of moles of reactants and products.

Every reaction is made up of equal number of moles of reactants and products. Thus, chemical equations are written in such a way to obey the law of conservation of matter.

The numbers used are usually whole numbers and the are very important in stoichiometry.

Which of the following describes a covalent bond?

Marizza181 [45]

Answer:

D. It is the sharing of electrons between atoms with an electronegativity difference below 1.7

Covalent bonds share electrons, whereas ionic bonds exchange electrons. Covalent bonds have an electronegativity of 0.0-1.7 (0.0-0.3 is a nonpolar covalent bond and 0.3-1.7 is a polar covalent bond). Ionic bonds are bonds that go beyond the electronegativity of 1.7 to 4.0 (1.7-4.0).

There are two steps in the usual industrial preparation of acrylic acid, the immediate precursor of several useful plastics. In

qaws [65]

The question is incomplete, here is the complete question:

There are two steps in the usual industrial preparation of acrylic acid, the immediate precursor of several useful plastics. In the first step, calcium carbide and water react to form acetylene and calcium hydroxide:

$CaC_2(s)+2H_2O(g)\rightarrow C_2H_2(g)+Ca(OH)_2(s)$

In the second step, acetylene, carbon dioxide and water react to form acrylic acid:

$6C_2H_2(g)+3CO_2(g)+4H_2O(g)\rightarrow 5CH_2CHCO_2H(g)$

Write the net chemical equation for the production of acrylic acid from calcium carbide, water and carbon dioxide. Be sure your equation is balanced.

Answer: The net chemical equation is written below.

Explanation:

The intermediate balanced chemical reaction are:

(1) $CaC_2(s)+2H_2O(g)\rightarrow C_2H_2(g)+Ca(OH)_2(s)$ ( × 6 )

(2) $6C_2H_2(g)+3CO_2(g)+4H_2O(g)\rightarrow 5CH_2CHCO_2H(g)$

To omit acetylene from the net chemical reaction, we multiply Equation (1) by 6.

Equation 1: $6CaC_2(s)+12H_2O(g)\rightarrow 6C_2H_2(g)+6Ca(OH)_2(s)$

Equation 2: $6C_2H_2(g)+3CO_2(g)+4H_2O(g)\rightarrow 5CH_2CHCO_2H(g)$

Net chemical equation: $6CaC_2(s)+3CO_2(g)+16H_2O(g)\rightarrow 5CH_2CHCO_2H(g)+6Ca(OH)_2(s)$

Hence, the net chemical equation is written above.

When the fuel mixture contained in a 1.49 l tank, stored at 750 mmhg and 298 k, undergoes complete combustion, how much heat is

Ket [755]

Get to know first how many moles in the gas:n = pV/RT= (1.013*10^5*750/760) Pa *1.49*10^-3 m^3/(8.314 J/(molK)*298) n = 0.0601 moles.
The combustion energies are 889 kJ/mol (methane) and 2 220 kJ (propane) x = moles methane, y = moles propane
x*889 + y*2220 = 778 x + y = 0.0601----------- x = 0.267784 moles = 0.267784*100/0.0601 = 44.6 % y = 0.243216 moles = 0.243216*100/0.0601 = 55.4 %
