What could be a reason for the difference between the theoretical and experimental heats of reaction

Chemistry
1 answer:
Fiesta28 [93]2 years ago
8 0

Answer:

Theoretical value is the value a scientist expects from an equation, assuming perfect or near-perfect conditions. Experimental value, on the other hand, is what is actually measured from an experiment. Rarely (in fact never) are these numbers the same.

Take the area of a sheet of paper. I know that the area of a rectangle can be found by multiplying the lengths of both sides together. I can assume an 8.5x11 sheet, so I calculate exactly 93.5 square inches. This is my theoretical value. When I actually do the measurements on my paper, it turns out my paper has been slightly cut on one end, or I’m measuring with a shoddy ruler. Therefore, I might measure only 92.8 square inches. This is my experimental value. See thats it’s close, but not exact.

Expanding on this concept, quantum mechanics is so widely accepted in the scientific community because many theoretical values calculated by mathmaticians concurred with experimental values to many, many decimal places. These would be constants such as Plank’s Constant, energy levels of harmonic potentials, and energy levels of the hydrogen atom.

Write a<br> paragraph or two on electromagnetism.
patriot [66]

Answer:

Electromagnetism is the study of the electromagnetic force, one of the four fundamental forces of nature. It includes the electric force, which pushes all charged particles, and the magnetic force, which only pushes moving charges.It is used in many electrical appliances to generate desired magnetic fields. It is even used in a electric generator to produce magnetic fields for electromagnetic induction to occur.

Q8. The titration of 15.00 mL of HBr solution of unknown concentration requires 18.44 mL of a 0.100 M KOH solution to reach the
lara [203]

Answer: 0.123 M

Explanation:

According to the neutralization law:

n_1M_1V_1=n_2M_2V_2

where,

M_1 = molarity of HBr solution = ?

V_1 = volume of HBr solution = 15.00 ml

M_2 = molarity of KOH solution = 0.100 M

V_2 = volume of KOH solution = 18.44 ml

n_1 = valency of HBr = 1

n_2 = valency of KOH = 1

1\times M_1\times 15.00=1\times 0.100\times 18.44

M_1=0.123

Therefore, the concentration of the unknown HBr solution is 0.123 M

Which of the following pairs of elements could react to form an ionic compound? Check all that apply.
KIM [24]

Following are the pair of elements that result in an ionic compound

  • Ca and Cl,
  • S and K,

Option A and B

<u>Explanation:</u>

  • Ionic compounds are defined as the compound that consists of ions held by two atoms of differently charged ions.
  • These compounds have a positive charge of ions called cations and a negatively charged element is anions.
  • In the above options, we shall say that the atoms such as Ca and K both result in cations as they release an electron to become a positive ion.
  • Also, Cl and S both result in anions as they attract more electron to form negative ions.
  • These positive and negative ion together results in an ionic compound.

Isopentyl acetate is the molecule largely responsible for the aroma and taste of bananas. It is made up of carbon, hydrogen, and
k0ka [10]

Answer:

Explanation:

7.706 g of CO₂ will contain 12 x 7.706 / 44 g of C

= 2.1 g of C .

This will be contained in 3.256 g of isopentyl acetate

3.156 g of H₂O will contain 2 x 3.156 / 18 g of H

= .351 g of H

This will be contained in 3.256 g of isopentyl acetate

Rest will be oxygen

amount of oxygen in 3.256 g of isopentyl acetate

= 3.256 - ( 2.1 + .351 )

= .805 g

ratio of C , H , O in isopentyl acetate

= 2.1 g : .351 g : .805 g

2.1 / 12 : .351 / 1 : 0.805 / 16 ratio of moles

= .175 : .351 : .05  ratio of moles

= 3.5 : 7.02: 1

= 7 : 14 : 2

empirical formula of  isopentyl acetate

= C₇ H₁₄ O₂ .

What is the ionic equation of Aqueous calcium bromide was mixed with aqueous gold(I) perchlorate, and a crystallized gold(I) bro
Bumek [7]

Answer:- 2AuClO_4(aq) + CaBr_2(aq)\rightarrow 2AuBr(s)+ Ca(ClO_4)_2(aq)

Explanations:- It's a double replacement reaction where a precipitate of silver(I)bromide is formed. A dpuble replacement reaction in general looks as AB + CD \rightarrow AD + CB

To balance the equation we need to multiply gold compounds on both sides by 2 and the balanced equation is..

2AuClO_4(aq) + CaBr_2(aq)\rightarrow 2AuBr(s)+ Ca(ClO_4)_2(aq)
