The burning of 1.0 g of coal produces 8.4 kcal. How many kilojoules are produced?

Chemistry

Andre45 [30]3 years ago

The conversations need to solve this problem:

1 cal = 4.184 joules
1 Kcal= 1000 calories
1 kj= 1000 joules

or a more direct approach---->> 1 Kcal = 4.184 Kjoules

8.4 kcal (1000 calories/ 1 Kcal) x (4.184 joules/ 1 cal) x (1 Kj/ 1000 joules)= 35.1 Kj

or 8.4 kcal (4.184 Kj/ 1 kcal)= 35.1 Kj (same answer)

8. How are convection currents in the mantle (geosphere) and in the oceans (hydrosphere) similar? How are they different? Answer
jenyasd209 [6]

Answer:

Mantle convection is the slow creeping motion of Earth's rocky mantle caused by convection currents carrying heat from the interior of the earth to the surface while convection current in ocean in; Solar radiation affects the oceans: warm water from the Equatortends to circulate toward the poles, while cold polar water heads towards the Equator. The surface currents are initially dictated by surface wind conditions. The trade winds blow westward in the tropics, and the westerlies blow eastward at mid-latitudes. This wind pattern applies a stress to the subtropical ocean surface with negative curl across the northern hemisphere, and the reverse across the Southern Hemisphere. The resulting Sverdrup transport is equator ward.Because of conservation of potential vorticity caused by the poleward-moving winds on the subtropical ridge's western periphery and the increased relative vorticity of poleward moving water, transport is balanced by a narrow, accelerating poleward current, which flows along the western boundary of the ocean basin, outweighing the effects of friction with the cold western boundary current which origniates from high latitudes

What is “the process in which electrons are rearranged without direct contact”???
Anastasy [175]

Answer:

Induction

Explanation:

When a body is brought in contact with another, electrons are rearranged by contact.

When a body is rubbed against one another, charging by friction occurs.

The process whereby electrons are rearranged without direct contact with one another is called induction.

By induction electrons can get charged without them having to be in contact with one another.

  • When a charged body is brought to the vicinity of the electrons, either an attraction or repulsion force is set up.
  • Similar charges causes repulsion
  • If a negatively charged body is brought near the electrons, there would be heavy repulsion and the electrons would be forced to rearranged.
  • This effect is product as a result of a force field.

If 175 g of phosphoric acid reacts with 150.0 g of sodium hydroxide, what is the limiting reactant? How many grams of sodium pho
Evgen [1.6K]

Answer:

NaOH is the limiting reactant.

204.9 g of sodium phosphate are formed.

51.94 g of excess reactant will remain.

Explanation:

The reaction that takes place is:

  • H₃PO₄ + 3NaOH → Na₃PO₄ + 3H₂O

First we <u>convert the mass of both reactants to moles</u>, using their <em>respective molar masses</em>:

  • H₃PO₄ ⇒ 175 g ÷ 98 g/mol = 1.78 mol
  • NaOH ⇒ 150 g ÷ 40 g/mol = 3.75 mol

1.78 moles of H₃PO₄ would react completely with (1.78 * 3) 5.34 moles of NaOH. There are not as many NaOH moles so NaOH is the limiting reactant.

--

We <u>calculate the produced moles of Na₃PO₄</u> using the <em>limiting reactant</em>:

  • 3.75 mol NaOH * \frac{1molNa_3PO_4}{3molNaOH} = 1.25 mol Na₃PO₄

Then we <u>convert moles into grams</u>:

  • 1.25 mol Na₃PO₄ * 163.94 g/mol = 204.9 g

--

We calculate how many H₃PO₄ moles would react with 3.75 NaOH moles:

  • 3.75 mol NaOH * \frac{1molH_3PO_4}{3molNaOH} = 1.25 mol H₃PO₄

We substract that amount from the original amount:

  • 1.78 - 1.25 = 0.53 mol H₃PO₄

Finally we <u>convert those remaining moles to grams</u>:

  • 0.53 mol H₃PO₄ * 98 g/mol = 51.94 g
