A 1.00 g sample of octane (C8H18) is burned in a bomb calorimeter with a heat capacity of 837J∘C that holds 1200. g of water at
lubasha [3.4K]

Answer:

The heat of combustion for 1.00 mol of octane is  -5485.7 kJ/mol

Explanation:

<u>Step 1:</u> Data given

Mass of octane = 1.00 grams

Heat capacity of calorimeter = 837 J/°C

Mass of water = 1200 grams

Temperature of water = 25.0°C

Final temperature : 33.2 °C

<u> Step 2:</u> Calculate heat absorbed by the calorimeter

q = c*ΔT

⇒ with c = the heat capacity of the calorimeter = 837 J/°C

⇒ with ΔT = The change of temperature = T2 - T1 = 33.2 - 25.0 : 8.2 °C

q = 837 * 8.2 = 6863.4 J

<u>Step 3:</u> Calculate heat absorbed by the water

q = m*c*ΔT

⇒ m = the mass of the water = 1200 grams

⇒ c = the specific heat of water = 4.184 J/g°C

⇒ ΔT = The change in temperature = T2 - T1 = 33.2 - 25  = 8.2 °C

q = 1200 * 4.184 * 8.2 =  41170.56 J

<u>Step 4</u>: Calculate the total heat

qcalorimeter + qwater = 6863.4 + 41170. 56 = 48033.96 J  = 48 kJ

Since this is an exothermic reaction, there is heat released. q is positive but ΔH is negative.

<u>Step 5</u>: Calculate moles of octane

Moles octane = 1.00 gram / 114.23 g/mol

Moles octane = 0.00875 moles

<u>Step 6:</u> Calculate heat combustion for 1.00 mol of octane

ΔH = -48 kJ / 0.00875 moles

ΔH = -5485.7 kJ/mol

The heat of combustion for 1.00 mol of octane is  -5485.7 kJ/mol

Someone please help me!!!!
Artyom0805 [142]

Double replacement :

2Na₃PO₄+3CaCl₂⇒6NaCl + Ca₃(PO₄)₂

<h3>Further explanation</h3>

1. A single replacement reaction is a chemical reaction in which one element replaces the other elements of a compound to produce new elements and compounds

2. Double-Replacement reactions. Happens if there is an ion exchange between two ion compounds in the reactant to form two new ion compounds in the product

3. Combination/syntesis : 2 or more reactants combine to form a new compound

4. Decomposition : the reactant is decomposed into 2/more products

If we look at the reaction options available, all of them can be included in the double replacement reaction, but we only choose the reaction from Sodium phosphate and Calcium chloride which leads to options: C because it is balanced (from the number of atoms in the same reactant and product) and is in accordance with the chemical formula of each compound (both products and reactants)
