In science, observations are objective, but intereroes are subjective. True or False?

Consider the half reactions below for a chemical reaction.

ladessa [460]

Answer:

Option A:

Zn(s) + Cu^(2+) (aq) → Cu(s) + Zn^(2+)(aq)

Explanation:

The half reactions given are:

Zn(s) → Zn^(2+)(aq) + 2e^(-)

Cu^(2+) (aq) + 2e^(-) → Cu(s)

From the given half reactions, we can see that in the first one, Zn undergoes oxidation to produce Zn^(2+).

While in the second half reaction, Cu^(2+) is reduced to Cu.

Thus, for the overall reaction, we will add both half reactions to get;

Zn(s) + Cu^(2+) (aq) + 2e^(-) → Cu(s) + Zn^(2+)(aq) + 2e^(-)

2e^(-) will cancel out to give us;

Zn(s) + Cu^(2+) (aq) → Cu(s) + Zn^(2+)(aq)

Sulfur undergoes combustion to yield sulfur trioxide by the following reaction equation:

12345 [234]

Answer:

Therefore, the amount of heat produced by the reaction of 42.8 g S = (-5.2965 × 10²) kJ = (-5.2965 × 10⁵) J

Explanation:

Given reaction: 2S + 3O₂ → 2 SO₃

Given: The enthalpy of reaction: ΔH = - 792 kJ

Given mass of S: w₂ = 42.8 g, Molar mass of S: m = 32 g/mol

In the given reaction, the number of moles of S reacting: n = 2

As, Number of moles: $n = \frac{mass\: (w_{1})}{molar\: mass\: (m)}$

∴ mass of S in 2 moles of S: $w_{1} = n \times m = 2\: mol \times 32\: g/mol = 64\: g$

Given reaction: 2S + 3O₂ → 2 SO₃

In this reaction, the limiting reagent is S

⇒ 2 moles S produces (- 792 kJ) heat.

or, 64 g of S produces (- 792 kJ) heat.

∴ 42.8 g of S produces (x) amount of heat

⇒ The amount of heat produced by 42.8 g S:

$x = \frac{(- 792\: kJ) \times 42.8\: g}{64\: g} = (-529.65)\: kJ$

$\Rightarrow x = (-5.2965 \times 10^{2})\: kJ = (-5.2965 \times 10^{5})\: J$

$(\because 1 kJ = 10^{3} J)$

Therefore, the amount of heat produced by the reaction of 42.8 g S = (-5.2965 × 10²) kJ = (-5.2965 × 10⁵) J

Compounds form as a result of chemical

vampirchik [111]

Answer:A compound is formed as a result of chemical reaction, between the constituent elements

Explanation:

A compound is formed as a result of chemical reaction, between the constituent elements. The properties of compound are different from the properties of the elements from which it is formed. Ex. Compounds can be further divided into three classes : acids, bases and salts, on the basis of their properties.

Natural gas is almost entirely methane. A container with a volume of 2.65L holds 0.120mol of methane. What will the volume be if

mrs_skeptik [129]

The final volume of the methane gas in the container is 6.67 L.

The given parameters;

initial volume of gas in the container, V₁ = 2.65 L
initial number of moles of gas, n₁ = 0.12 mol
additional concentration, n = 0.182 mol

The total number of moles of gas in the container is calculated as follows;

$n_t = 0.12 + 0.182 = 0.302 \ mol$

The final volume of gas in the container is calculated as follows;

$PV = nRT\\\\\frac{V}{n} = \frac{RT}{P} \\\\\frac{V_1}{n_1} = \frac{V_2}{n_2} \\\\V_2 = \frac{V_1 n_2}{n_1} \\\\V_2 = \frac{2.65 \times 0.302}{0.12} \\\\V_2 = 6.67 \ L$

Thus, the final volume of the methane gas in the container is 6.67 L.
