<span>In chemistry, a catalyst can speed up the reaction (or make it initiate easier) by altering the activation energy, lowering it enough to allow the reactants to react more easily. Some negative catalysts or inhibitors can do the same by increasing the activation energy.

Answer: Enthalpy of combustion (per mole) of 
is -2657.5 kJ
Explanation:
The chemical equation for the combustion of butane follows:
The equation for the enthalpy change of the above reaction is:
![\Delta H^o_{rxn}=[(8\times \Delta H^o_f_{CO_2(g)})+(10\times \Delta H^o_f_{H_2O(g)})]-[(1\times \Delta H^o_f_{C_4H_{10}(g)})+(4\times \Delta H^o_f_{O_2(g)})]](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5CDelta%20H%5Eo_%7Brxn%7D%3D%5B%288%5Ctimes%20%5CDelta%20H%5Eo_f_%7BCO_2%28g%29%7D%29%2B%2810%5Ctimes%20%5CDelta%20H%5Eo_f_%7BH_2O%28g%29%7D%29%5D-%5B%281%5Ctimes%20%5CDelta%20H%5Eo_f_%7BC_4H_%7B10%7D%28g%29%7D%29%2B%284%5Ctimes%20%5CDelta%20H%5Eo_f_%7BO_2%28g%29%7D%29%5D)
We are given:

Enthalpy of combustion (per mole) of is -2657.5 kJ
Answer:
The mass of water 
= 39.18 gm
Explanation:
Mass of iron 
= 32.5 gm
Initial temperature of iron 
= 22.4°c = 295.4 K
Specific heat of iron 
= 0.448 
Mass of water =
Specific heat of water 
Initial temperature of water 
= 336 K
Final temperature after equilibrium 
= 59.7°c = 332.7 K
When iron rod is submerged into water then
Heat lost by water = Heat gain by iron rod
( - ) = ( - )
Put all the values in above formula we get
× 4.2 × ( 336 - 332.7 ) = 32.5 × 0.448 × ( 332.7 - 295.4 )
= 39.18 gm
Therefore the mass of water = 39.18 gm
Answer:
6.31g/mol
Explanation:
Using the ideal gas equation;
PV = nRT
Where;
P = pressure (atm)
V = volume (L)
n = number of moles (mol)
R = gas law constant (0.0821 Latm/molK)
T = temperature (K)
Mole (n) = mass (m)/molar mass (Mm)
* Mm = m/n
Also, density (p) = mass (m) ÷ volume (V)
PV = nRT
Since n = M/Mm
PV = M/Mm. RT
PV × Mm = m × RT
Divide both sides by V
P × Mm = m/V × RT
Since p = m/V
P × Mm = p × RT
Mm = p × RT/P
Mm = 0.249 × 0.0821 × 293/0.95
Mm = 5.989 ÷ 0.95
Mm = 6.31g/mol
<span>0.925 grams if using hydrochloric acid in the reaction.
0.462 grams if using sulfuric acid in the reaction.
0.000 grams if using nitric acid in the reaction.
Assuming you're using HCl or a similar acid for this reaction, the equation for the reaction is:
Zn + 2 HCl ==> ZnCl2 + H2
So each mole of zinc used, produces 1 mole of hydrogen gas, or 2 moles of hydrogen atoms. So we need to look up the atomic weights of both zinc and hydrogen.
Atomic weight zinc = 65.38
Atomic weight hydrogen = 1.00794
Moles zinc = 30.0 g / 65.38 g/mol = 0.458855919 mol
Since we produce 2 moles of hydrogen atoms per mole of zinc, multiply by 2 and the atomic weight of hydrogen to get the mass of hydrogen produced. So
0.458855919 * 2 * 1.00794 = 0.92499847 grams.
Rounding to 3 significant figures gives 0.925 grams.
To show the assumption of the acid used, the balanced equation for sulfuric acid would be
Zn2 + H2SO4 ==> Zn(SO4)2 + H2
Which means that for every mole of zinc used, 1 mole of hydrogen gas is generated (half that produced via hydrochloric acid).
If nitric acid were used, the reaction is
4Zn + 10HNO3 ==> 4Zn(NO3)2 + N2O + 5H2O
Which means that NO hydrogen gas is generated.
The only justification for assuming hydrochloric acid is used is that it's a fairly common acid that's easy to obtain. But as shown above with 2 alternative acids, the amount of hydrogen gas generated is very dependent upon the exact chemical reaction occurring and asking "How many grams of hydrogen are produced if 30.0 g of zinc reacts?" is a rather silly question unless you specify EXACTLY what the reaction is.</span>
