Answer:

Even small amounts of radiation over a prolonged period of time can be dangerous.

Explanation:

We all get exposed to radiation, such as through x-rays, and it's fine as one off experiences. However, if you're constantly dealing with radiation without any sort of protection, no matter how small the amount is, it could potentially lead to consequences like cancer. This is due to the fact that radiation can alter our genes

Answer:

Mass of hydrogen gas evolved is 0.0749 grams.

Explanation:

Total pressure of the gases = p = 758 mmHg

Vapor pressure of water = 23.78 mmHg

Pressure of hydrogen gas ,P = p - 23.78 mmHg = 758 mmHg - 23.78 mmHg

P = 734.22 mmHg = $\frac{734.22}{760} atm=0.966 atm$

Temperature of of hydrogen gas ,T= 25°C =298.15 K

Volume of hydrogen gas = V = 0.949 L

Moles of hydrogen gas =n

PV = nRT (Ideal gas equation )

$n=\frac{PV}{RT}=\frac{0.966 atm\times 0.949 L}{0.0821 atm L/mol K\times 298.15 K}$

n = 0.03745 mol

Moles of hydrogen gas = 0.03745 mol

Mass of 0.03745 moles of hydrogen gas = 0.03745 mol × 2 g/mol = 0.0749 g

Mass of hydrogen gas evolved is 0.0749 grams.

Answer:

The standard enthalpy of formation of methanol is, -238.7 kJ/mole

Explanation:

The formation reaction of CH_3OH will be,

$C(s)+2H_2(g)+\frac{1}{2}O_2\rightarrow CH_3OH(g),\Delta H_{formation}=?$

The intermediate balanced chemical reaction will be,

$C(graphite)+O_2(g)\rightarrow CO_2(g), \Delta H_1=-393.5kJ/mole$ ..[1]

$H_2(g)+\frac{1}{2}O_2(g)\rightarrow H_2O(l), \Delta H_2=-285.8kJ/mole$ ..[2]

$CH_3OH(g)+\frac{3}{2}O_2(g)\rightarrow CO_2(g)+2H_2O(l) , \Delta H_3=-726.4kJ/mole$ ..[3]

Now we will reverse the reaction 3, multiply reaction 2 by 2 then adding all the equations, Using Hess's law:

We get :

$C(graphite)+O_2(g)\rightarrow CO_2(g) , \Delta H_1=-393.5kJ/mole$ ..[1]

$2H_2(g)+2O_2(g)\rightarrow 2H_2O(l) ,\Delta H_2=2\times (-285.8kJ/mole)=-571.6kJ/mol$ ..[2]

$CO_2(g)+2H_2O(l)\rightarrow CH_3OH(g)+\frac{3}{2}O_2(g) ,\Delta H_3=726.4kJ/mole$ [3]

The expression for enthalpy of formation of $C_2H_4$ will be,

$\Delta H_{formation}=\Delta H_1+2\times \Delta H_2+\Delta H_3$

$\Delta H=(-393.5kJ/mole)+(-571.6kJ/mole)+(726.4kJ/mole)$

$\Delta H=-238.7kJ/mole$

The standard enthalpy of formation of methanol is, -238.7 kJ/mole
