In the following reaction, what is the quantity of heat (in kJ) released when 5.87 moles of CH₄ are burned?

1 answer:

5 0

Taking into account the definition of enthalpy of a chemical reaction, the quantity of heat released when 5.87 moles of CH₄ are burned is 4,707.74 kJ.

The enthalpy of a chemical reaction as the heat absorbed or released in a chemical reaction when it occurs at constant pressure. That is, the heat of reaction is the energy that is released or absorbed when chemicals are transformed into a chemical reaction.

The enthalpy is an extensive property, that is, it depends on the amount of matter present.

In this case, the balanced reaction is:

CH₄ (g) + 2 O₂ (g) → CO₂ (g) + 2 H₂O(g)

and the enthalpy reaction ∆H° has a value of -802 kJ/mol.

This equation indicates that when 1 mole of CH₄ reacts with 2 moles of O2, 802 kJ of heat is released.

When 5.87 moles of CH₄ are burned, then you can apply the following rule of three: if 1 mole of CH₄ releases 802 kJ of heat, 5.87 moles of CH₄ releases how much heat?

$heat=\frac{5.87 molesof CH_{4}x802 kJ}{1 mol of CH_{4} }$

Finally, the quantity of heat released when 5.87 moles of CH₄ are burned is 4,707.74 kJ.

5.80 gg of NaCl in 350. mL of a NaClsolution

Delicious77 [7]

Answer:

Solution is 0.28 M

You can also say, [NaCl] = 0.28 mol/L

Explanation:

As you have a solute mass and the solution's volume, you may find the molarity concentration of solution.

Molarity specifies the moles of solute in 1 L of solution

We convert the volume of solution to L → 350 mL . 1L / 1000 mL = 0.350L

We convert the mass of solute to moles → 5.80 g . 1mol / 58.45 g = 0.0992 moles

Molarity (mol/L) = 0.0992 mol /0.350L = 0.28M

Question 5

bagirrra123 [75]

Answer:

true

Explanation:

any object that is larger will take a longer time to do things, the same applies to heat levels. The lower the heat, the longer it takes, the higher the heat, the shorter it takes. So if an iceberg is large, it will need a higher heat, whereas an ice cube is really small and doesn't need that much heat to melt.

An unknown metal absorbs 61 J of heat, and its temperature increases by 29∘C. What is the heat capacity of the metal?

aniked [119]

Answer:

2.103 J/C

Explanation:

Quantity of heat = Heat Capacity * Temperature change

Heat Capacity = Quantity of heat / Temperature Change

Heat Capacity = 61/29

Heat Capacity = 2.103 J/C

a gas that exerts a pressure of 215 torr in a container with a volume of 51.0 mL will exert a pressure of ? torr when transferre

zhannawk [14.2K]

To calculate the new pressure, we can use Boyle’s law to relate these two scenarios (Boyle’s law is used because the temperature is assumed to remain constant). Boyle’s law is:

P1V1 = P2V2,

Where “P” is pressure and “V” is volume. The pressure and volume of the first scenario is 215 torr and 51 mL, respectively, and the second scenario has a volume of 18.5 L (18,500 mL) and the unknown pressure - let’s call that “x”. Plugging these into the equation:

(215 torr)(51 mL) =(“x” torr)(18,500 mL)
x = 0.593 torr

The final pressure exerted by the gas would be 0.593 torr.

Hope this helps!
