In a closed system, heat should be conserved which means that the heat produced in the calorimeter is equal to the heat released by the combustion reaction. We calculate as follows:

Heat of the combustion reaction = mC(T2-T1)
                                                          = 1 (1.50) (41-21)
                                                          = 30 kJ

Answer:

30 kJ is released during the combustion of this sample.

Explanation:

Heat released during combustion = Heat gained by calorimeter

Mass of calorimeter= m = 1.00 kg=1000 g

Change in temperature of the calorimeter = ΔT = 41.0 °C - 21.0 °C =20.0 °C

Specific heat if calorimeter = c = 1.50 J/g °C

Heat released during combustion = Q

Q=mc\Delta T

Q=1000.00 g\times 1.50 J/g ^oC\times 20.0 ^oC=30,000 =30 kJ

30 kJ is released during the combustion of this sample.

What determines an object’s ability to float?
Nezavi [6.7K]
Simply put, density is how tightly “stuff” is packed into a defined space.

For example, a suitcase jam-packed with clothes and souvenirs has a high density, while the same suitcase containing two pairs of underwear has low density. Size-wise, both suitcases look the same, but their density depends on the relationship between their mass and volume.
Mass is the amount of matter in an object.
Volume is the amount of space that an object takes up in three dimensions.

Density is calculated using the following equation: Density = mass/volume or D = m/v.

If something is heavy for its size, it has a high density. If an object is light for its size it has a low density.

The relative densities of an object and the liquid it is placed in determine whether that object will sink or float.

Is dissolving salt a chemical change or physical change and why?
Firlakuza [10]

It's a physical change because the composition of the salt hasn't change. Only the change in substance/form has occured. To tell if something has undergone physical change is:

• Melting

• Boiling

• Freezing

• Condensing

• Breaking

• Bending

• Dissolving

• Molecules can change motion and proximity

To tell if something changed chemically:

• Molecules rearrange with other molecules to make new substance

• Can be production of flames

• Color change

• Bubbling/fizzing

• Temp. change

• change in composition

Why was 1,2 dichlorobenzene used as the solvent for the diels alder reaction we performed in the lab?
pav-90 [236]

Answer:

1,2 dichlorobenzene was used as the solvent for the diels alder reaction: <em>because the co elimination part of the reaction needs high temp and a high boiling point solvent such as 1,2 dichlorobenzene</em>

Explanation:

Diels-Alder Reaction is a useful synthetic tool to prepare cyclohexane rings. It is a process, which occurs in a single step that consists of a cyclic redistribution of its electrons. The two reagents are bond together through a cyclic transition state in which the two new C-C bonds are formed at the same time. For this to occur, most of the time, it is necessary a high temperature and high-pressure conditions. Since 1,2 dichlorobenzene has a boiling point of 180ºC is a good solvent for this type of reactions.
