Using the reaction below: 2 CO2(g) + 2 H2O(l) → C2H4(g) + 3 O2(g) ΔHrxn= +1411.1 kJ What would be the heat of reaction for this

maw [93]

Answer: d) -705.55 kJ

Explanation:

Heat of reaction is the change of enthalpy during a chemical reaction with all substances in their standard states.

$2CO_2(g)+2H_2O(l)\rightarrow C_2H_4(g)+3O_2(g)$ $\Delta H=+1411.1kJ$

Reversing the reaction, changes the sign of $\Delta H$

$C_2H_4(g)+3O_2(g)\rightarrow 2CO_2(g)+2H_2O(l)$

$\Delta H=-1411.1kJ$

On multiplying the reaction by $\frac{1}{2}$ , enthalpy gets half:

$0.5C_2H_4(g)+1.5O_2(g)\rightarrow CO_2(g)+H_2O(l)$ $\Delta H=\frac{1}{2}\times -1411.1kJ=-705.55kJ/mol$

Thus the enthalpy change for the given reaction is -705.55kJ

What are the gas laws? (Include Boyle's law, charles's law, gay lussac's law, an avogadro's law) Could someone please summarize

Rina8888 [55]

Answer:

Boyle's Law: When the pressure of a gas increases, the volume of the gas will decrease as long as the temperature and amount of gas are constant.

So basically pressure is inversely proportional to Volume, when one increases, the other decreases, vice versa.

Equation: $P_{1} V_{1} = P_{2} V_{2}$

Charles Law: When the temperature of a gas increases, the volume of a gas will also increase if the pressure and amount of gas are constant.

So basically Temperature and volume are directly proportional.

Equation: $\frac{V_{1}}{T_{1}} = \frac{V_{2} }{T_{2} }$

Gay Lussac's Law: When the temperature of a gas increases, the pressure of a gas also increases when volume and the amount of gas remain constant.

Basically, Temperature and Pressure are directly proportional.

Equation: $\frac{P_{1}}{T_{1}} = \frac{P_{2} }{T_{2} }$

Avogadro's Law: The most intuitive gas law. When you increase the amount of gas, the volume will also increase.

Meaning the moles (amount of gas) is directly proportional to volume.

Equation: $\frac{V_{1} }{n_{1} } = \frac{V_{2} }{n_{2} }$ (n stands for moles)

There is a combined gas law and ideal gas law but those are just the gas laws mentioned above but combined together. These should be everything.

For each of the following substituents, indicate whether it withdraws electrons inductively, donates electrons by hyperconjugati

aleksandrvk [35]

Answer:

Br- Withdraws electrons inductively

Donates electrons by resonance

CH2CH3 - Donates electrons by hyperconjugation

NHCH3- Withdraws electrons inductively

Donates electrons by resonance

OCH3 - Withdraws electrons inductively

Donates electrons by resonance

+N(CH3)3 - Withdraws electrons inductively

Explanation:

A chemical moiety may withdraw or donate electrons by resonance or inductive effect.

Halogens are electronegative elements hence they withdraw electrons by inductive effect. However, they also contain lone pairs so the can donate electrons by resonance.

Alkyl groups donate electrons by hyperconjugation involving hydrogen atoms.

-NHCH3 and contain species that have lone pair of electrons which can be donated by resonance. Also, the nitrogen and oxygen atoms are very electron withdrawing making the carbon atom to have a -I inductive effect.

+N(CH3)3 have no lone pair and is strongly electron withdrawing by inductive effects.
