Why do sea turtles rely on instincts more than mammals do?

Chemistry

Answer:

Mammals do not have instincts, so they must learn all their behaviors from their parents in order to survive.

Sea turtles must survive on their own, while mammals spend time with their parents and learn how to survive as they grow.

Sea turtles are less intelligent than mammals and, thus, cannot learn new behaviors from their parents.

Oxygen gas can be prepared by heating potassium chlorate according to the following equation:2KClO3(s)Arrow.gif2KCl(s) + 3O2(g)T

Eduardwww [97]

Answer:

Moles of potassium chlorate reacted = 0.2529 moles

The amount of oxygen gas collected will be 12.8675 g

Explanation:

(a)

We are given:

Vapor pressure of water = 17.5 mmHg

Total vapor pressure = 748 mmHg

Vapor pressure of Oxygen gas = Total vapor pressure - Vapor pressure of water = (748 - 17.5) mmHg = 730.5 mmHg

To calculate the amount of Oxygen gas collected, we use the equation given by ideal gas which follows:

$PV=nRT$

where,

P = pressure of the gas = 730.5 mmHg

V = Volume of the gas = 9.49 L

T = Temperature of the gas = $20^oC=[20+273]K=293K$

R = Gas constant = $62.3637\text{ L.mmHg }mol^{-1}K^{-1}$

n = number of moles of oxygen gas = ?

Putting values in above equation, we get:

$730.5mmHg\times 9.49L=n\times 62.3637\text{ L.mmHg }mol^{-1}K^{-1}\times 293K\\\\n=\frac{730.5\times 9.49}{62.3637\times 293}=0.3794mol$

According to the reaction shown below as:-

$2KClO_3(s)\rightarrow 2KCl(s) +3O_2(g)$

3 moles of oxygen gas are produced when 2 moles of potassium chlorate undergoes reaction.

So,

0.3794 mol of oxygen gas are produced when $\frac{2}{3}\times 0.3794$ moles of potassium chlorate undergoes reaction.

<u>Moles of potassium chlorate reacted = 0.2529 moles</u>

(b)

We are given:

Vapor pressure of water = 17.5 mmHg

Total vapor pressure = 753 mmHg

Vapor pressure of Oxygen gas = Total vapor pressure - Vapor pressure of water = (753 - 17.5) mmHg = 735.5 mmHg

To calculate the amount of Oxygen gas collected, we use the equation given by ideal gas which follows:

$PV=nRT$

where,

P = pressure of the gas = 735.5 mmHg

V = Volume of the gas = 9.99 L

T = Temperature of the gas = $20^oC=[20+273]K=293K$

R = Gas constant = $62.3637\text{ L.mmHg }mol^{-1}K^{-1}$

n = number of moles of oxygen gas = ?

Putting values in above equation, we get:

$735.5mmHg\times 9.99L=n\times 62.3637\text{ L.mmHg }mol^{-1}K^{-1}\times 293K\\\\n=\frac{735.5\times 9.99}{62.3637\times 293}=0.40211mol$

Moles of Oxygen gas = 0.40211 moles

Molar mass of Oxygen gas = 32 g/mol

Putting values in above equation, we get:

$0.037mol=\frac{\text{Mass of Oxygen gas}}{2g/mol}\\\\\text{Mass of Oxygen gas}=(0.40211mol\times 32g/mol)=12.8675g$

<u>Hence, the amount of oxygen gas collected will be 12.8675 g</u>

Estimate the enthalpy change for the combustion of one mole of acetylene, C2H2, to form carbon dioxide and water vapor. BE(C?H)

tia_tia [17]

Answer:

ΔH rxn = -1010 kJ/molC₂H₂

Explanation:

To obtain the enthalpy change for a reaction from bond energies what we do is to make an inventory of the bonds broken and formed for the balanced chemical reaction:

C₂H₂ + 5/2O₂ ⇒ 2CO₂ + H₂O

Bond Broken Bonds Formed

2 C-H + 1 C≡C + 5/2 O=O 4C=O + 2 H-O

Enthalpy bonds broken:

2 mol (456 kJ/mol)+ 1 mol (962 kJ/mol) + 5/2 mol (499 kJ/mol) = 3121.5 kJ

Enthalpy bond formed:

4 mol (802 kJ/mol) + 2 mol (462 kJ/mol) = 4132.0 kJ

ΔH rxn = H broken - H formed = 3121.5 kJ - 4132.0 kJ = - 1010 kJ (per mol C₂H₂ )
