How does a balanced chemical equation demonstrate the Law of Conservation of Mass?

What is the total energy change for the following reaction:CO+H2O-CO2+H2

Alekssandra [29.7K]

Answer:

$\large \boxed{\text{-41.2 kJ/mol}}$

Explanation:

Balanced equation: CO(g) + H₂O(g) ⟶ CO₂(g) + H₂(g)

We can calculate the enthalpy change of a reaction by using the enthalpies of formation of reactants and products

$\Delta_{\text{rxn}}H^{\circ} = \sum \left( \Delta_{\text{f}} H^{\circ} \text{products}\right) - \sum \left (\Delta_{\text{f}}H^{\circ} \text{reactants} \right)$

(a) Enthalpies of formation of reactants and products

$\begin{array}{cc}\textbf{Substance} & \textbf{$\Delta_{\text{f}}$H/(kJ/mol}) \\\text{CO(g)} & -110.5 \\\text{H$_{2}$O} & -241.8\\\text{CO$_{2}$(g)} & -393.5 \\\text{H$_{2}$(g)} & 0 \\\end{array}$

(b) Total enthalpies of reactants and products

$\begin{array}{ccr}\textbf{Substance} & \textbf{Contribution)/(kJ/mol})&\textbf{Sum} \\\text{CO(g)} & -110.5& -110.5 \\\text{H$_{2}$O(g)} &-241.8& -241.8\\\textbf{Total}&\textbf{for reactants} &\mathbf{ -352.3}\\&&\\\text{CO}_{2}(g) & -393.5&-393.5 \\\text{H}_{2} & 0 & 0\\\textbf{Total}&\textbf{for products} & \mathbf{-393.5}\end{array}$

(c) Enthalpy of reaction $\Delta_{\text{rxn}}H^{\circ} = \sum \left( \Delta_{\text{f}} H^{\circ} \text{products}\right) - \sum \left (\Delta_{\text{f}}H^{\circ} \text{reactants} \right)= \text{-393.5 kJ/mol - (-352.3 kJ/mol}\\= \text{-393.5 kJ/mol + 352.3 kJ/mol} = \textbf{-41.2 kJ/mol}\\ \text{The total enthalpy change is $\large \boxed{\textbf{-41.2 kJ/mol}}$}$

Which compound plays an important role in leather processing and electroplating?

Margaret [11]

<u>Answer;</u>

Hydrochloric acid

<u>Explanation;</u>

Hydrochlorc acid plays a vital role in leather processing and electroplating.
Hydrochloric acid has a number of important applications in real life these includes; fertilizers, and dyes, textile, in electroplating, rubber and in the photographic industries.
Electroplating is the process that involves coating a metal using another metal for the purpose of improving their appearance or preventing rusting.
Hydrochloric acids is used in the processing of leather or the tanning of leather process, in which tanneries use the acid to stop the growth of bacteria and also maintain proper pH.

CdF2(s)⇄Cd2+(aq)+2F−(aq)A saturated aqueous solution of CdF2 is prepared. The equilibrium in the solution is represented above.

kupik [55]

Answer:

The correct answer is option a.

Explanation:

$CdF_2(s)\rightleftharpoons Cd^{2+}(aq)+2F^-(aq)$

Equilibrium concentration cadmium ions = $[Cd^{2+}]=0.0585 M$

Equilibrium concentration fluoride ions = $[F^{-}]=0.117 M$

Molar solubility is the maximum concentration of salt present in water in ionic form beyond that no more salt will exist in its ionic form and will settle down in bottom of the solution.

The molar solubility of the solid cadmium fluoride = 0.0585 M

$CdF_2(s)\rightleftharpoons Cd^{2+}(aq)+2F^-(aq)$ ..[1]

$NaF(s)\rightleftharpoons Na^{+}(aq)+F^-(aq)$

Due to addition of sodium fluoride will increase concentration of fluoride in the solution.And due to common ion effect the equilibrium will shift in backward direction in [1], that is precipitation of more cadmium fluoride.

Hence, decrease in solubility will be observed.

The voltaic cell produces electric current from a spontaneous chemical reaction, but electrolytic reactions are not spontaneous.

scZoUnD [109]

I believe the correct answer is true. Voltaic cells produces current from spontaneous reactions and is also known as galvanic cell. For electrolytic cells the reactions are not spontaneous and requires input of current for the reaction to occur.
