A sample of hexane (C6H14) has a mass of 0.580 g. The sample is burned in a bomb calorimeter that has a mass of 1.900 kg and a s

pecific heat of 3.21 J/giK. What amount of heat is produced during the combustion of hexane if the temperature of the calorimeter increases by 4.542 K?

Use the formula, Q= mcT

Q= heat
m= mass= 1.900Kg= 1.900 x 10^3 grams
c= specific heat= 3.21
T= 4.542 K

Q= (1.900 x10^3g)(3.21)(4.542K)= 14.6 Joules.

Answer : The amount of heat produced during the combustion of hexane per mole is 4109.79 kJ/mole.

Explanation :

In this problem we assumed that heat given by the hot body is equal to the heat taken by the cold body.

Formula used :

$Q=m\times c\times \Delta T$

where,

Q = heat absorb = ?

m = mass of calorimeter = 1.900 kg = 1900 g

c = specific heat of calorimeter = $3.21J/g.K$

$\Delta T$ = change in temperature = 4.542 K

Now put all the given value in the above formula, we get:

$Q=1900g\times 3.21J/g.K\times 4.542K$

$Q=27701.658J=27.70kJ$

Now we have to calculate the moles of hexane.

$\text{Moles of }C_6H_{14}=\frac{Mass of }C_6H_{14}}{Molar mass of }C_6H_{14}=\frac{0.580g}{86.18g/mole}=0.00674mole$

Now we have to calculate the heat produced during the combustion of hexane per mole.

$\text{Heat produced}=\frac{27.70kJ}{0.00674mole}=4109.79kJ/mole$

Therefore, the amount of heat produced during the combustion of hexane per mole is 4109.79 kJ/mole.

sergij07 [2.7K]

Answer:

Hydrogen peroxide should be stored in

1) a cool environment

2) with amber bottles away from sunlight

3) with little drops of sodium phosphate

Explanation:

It has been confirmed that heat and light aids in the decomposition of hydrogen peroxide according to the equation; 2H2O2→2 H2O + O2.

This means that hydrogen peroxide must be stored in a cool place. This will reduce its rate of decomposition. Secondly, it should be stored in amber bottles away from light since light also aids in its decomposition.

Thirdly, drops of sodium phosphate may be added to prevent its catalytic decomposition during storage.

A quantity of 85.0 mL of 0.900 M HCl is mixed with 85.0 mL of 0.900 M KOH in a constantpressure calorimeter that has a heat capa

bogdanovich [222]

Explanation:

The given data is as follows.

$V_{1}$ = 85.0 ml, $M_{1}$ = 0.9 M

$V_{2}$ = 85.0 ml, $M_{1}$ = 0.9 M

Hence, number of moles of HCl and KOH will be the same because both the solutions have same volume and molarity.

So, No. of moles = Molarity × Volume

= $0.9 M \times 0.085 L$ (as 1 L = 1000 ml so, 85 ml = 0.085 L)

= 0.076 mol

As 1 mole gives 56.2 kJ/mol of heat of neutralization. Hence, calculate the heat of neutralization given by 0.076 moles as follows.

$56.2 kJ/mol \times 0.076 mol$

= 4.271 kJ

or, = 4271 J (as 1 kJ = 1000 J)

Therefore, heat released = - heat of gained by calorimeter

Since, it is given that density of the solution is similar to the density of water which is 1 g/ml.

Hence, mass of HCl = density × Volume of HCl

= 1.00 g/ml × 85.0 ml

= 85 g

Similarly, mass of KOH = = density × Volume of HCl

= 1.00 g/ml × 85.0 ml

= 85 g

Hence, total mass of the solution = 85 g + 85 g

= 170 g

Also, q = $mC \Delta T$

4271 J = $170 g \times 325 J/^{o}C \times (T_{f} - 18.24)^{o}C$

0.0773 = $T_{f} - 18.24$

$T_{f}$ = $18.317^{o}C$

Thus, we can conclude that final temperature of the mixed solution is $18.317^{o}C$ .

If a bottle of olive oil contains 1.2 kg of olive oil, what is the volume, in milliliters (mL), of the olive oil?

Paul [167]

Answer:

1.3 mL

Explanation:

First, get the density of the olive oil, which is 0.917 kg/mL. Then divide the mass by the density:

1.2kg/0.917kg/mL= 1.3086150491 mL. The kg cancel out, leaving us with mL.

It should have 2 significant figures, because 1.2kg has 2 and we are dividing.
