Following the description for the synthesis of Hydrogen Cyanide, the molecular reaction is

CH₄(g) + NH₃(g + O₂(g) →  HCN(g) + H₂O(g)

According to Dalton's Atomic Theory, in on of his postulates, compounds are characterized as having a fixed ratio of number of individual elements. During a chemical reaction, the compounds exchange elements while obeying the fixed ratio. This law is defined as the Law of Definite Proportions. Thus, it is essential to balance a chemical reaction. Make sure that the element has the same number of atoms, represented by the stoichiometric coefficients, on both sides of the reaction. It is actually a trial-and-error process. For this reaction, the balanced chemical reaction is

2 CH₄(g) + 2 NH₃(g + 3 O₂(g) →  2 HCN(g) + 6 H₂O(g)

How are oxygen and<br> water molecules different<br> from argon and neon<br> molecules?
Ghella [55]

Answer:Argon is an element on the periodic table. It is a member of the noble gasses, meaning that it is a monoatomic pure gas. In other words, argon gas particles are simply pure single atoms of argon. ... Finally, water is a polyatomic molecule H2O composed of two atoms of hydrogen and one atom of oxygen.

0.9775 grams of an unknown compound is dissolved in 50.0 ml of water. Initially the water temperature is 22.3 degrees Celsius. A
elena-14-01-66 [18.8K]

Answer:

The enthlapy of solution is -55.23 kJ/mol.

Explanation:

Mass of water = m

Density of water = 1 g/mL

Volume of water = 50.0 mL

m = Density of water × Volume of water = 1 g/mL × 50.0 mL=50.0 g

Change in temperature of the water ,ΔT= 27.0°C - 22.3°C = 4.7°C

Heat capacity of water,c =4.186 J/g°C

Heat gained by the water when an unknown compound is dissolved be Q

Q= mcΔT

Q=50.0 g\times 4.186 J/g^oC\times 4.7^oC=983.71 J

heat released when 0.9775 grams of an unknown compound is dissolved in water will be same as that heat gained by water.

Q'=-Q

Q'= -983.71 J =-0.98371 kJ

Moles of unknown compound = \frac{0.9975 g}{56 g/mol}=0.01781 mol

The enthlapy of solution :

\frac{Q'}{moles}

=\frac{-0.98371 kJ}{0.01781 mol}=-55.23 kJ/mol

The enthlapy of solution is -55.23 kJ/mol.

When diluting the pickle juice food sample for titration, is it important to know the final volume exactly? Why or why not?
maks197457 [2]

Explanation:

When diluting a fruit juice, it is important to know the final volume so as not to over dilute the solution.

  • The fruit juice can become too diluted if we don't know the final volume .
  • Concentration refers to the amount of solute dissolved in a solvent.
  • To achieve a desired amount of concentration during dilution, the volume of the target must be known.
  • This will serve as a guide of the amount of solvent to add in order to take the solution to the desired volume.

In what situation do we use a volumetric flask, conical flask, pipette and graduated cylinder? Explain your answer from accuracy
Ad libitum [116K]
A volumetric flask is used to contain a predetermined volume of substance and only measures that volume, for example 250 ml.
Conical flasks can be used to measure the volume of substances but the accuracy they provide is usually up to 10ml. Conical flasks are used in titrations, reactions where the liquid may boil, and reactions which involve stirring. 
Pippettes are of two types, volumetric and graduated. Pippettes are used where high accuracy is required and volumetric pippettes come in as little as 1 ml. Pippettes are usually used in titrations.
Graduated cylinders come in a wide variety of sizes and their accuracy can be down to as much as 1 ml. They are used to contain liquids.

Calculate ΔH and ΔStot when two copper blocks, each of mass 10.0 kg, one at 100°C and the other at 0°C, are placed in contact in
ira [324]

Explanation:

The given data is as follows.

        m = 10.0 kg = 10,000 g    (as 1 kg = 1000 g)

      Initial temp. of block 1, T_{1} = 100^{o}C = (100 + 273) K = 373 K  

      Initial temp. of block 2, T_{2} = 0^{o}C = (0 + 273) K = 273 K

So, heat released by block 1 = heat gained by block 2

            mC \Delta T = mC \times \Delta T

  10000 g \times 0.385 \times (T_{f} - 100)^{o}C = 10000 g \times 0.385 \times (0 - T_{f})^{o}C

                  T_{f} - 100^{o}C = 0^{o}C - T_{f}    

                   2T_{f} = 100^{o}C

                          T_{f} = 50^{o}C

Convert temperature into kelvin as (50 + 273) K = 323 K.              

Also, we know that the relation between enthalpy and temperature change is as follows.

             \Delta H = mC \Delta T

                         = 10000 g \times 0.385 J/K g \times 323 K

                         = 1243550 J

or,                     = 1243.5 kJ

Now, calculate entropy change for block 1 as follows.

     \Delta S_{1} = mC ln \frac{T_{f}}{T_{i}}

            = 10000 g \times 0.385 J/K g \times ln \frac{323}{373}

            = 10000 g \times 0.385 J/K g \times -0.143

            = -554.12 J/K

Now, entropy change for block 2 is as follows.

   \Delta S_{2} = mC ln \frac{T_{f}}{T_{i}}

           = 10000 g \times 0.385 J/K g \times ln \frac{323}{273}

           = 10000 g \times 0.385 J/K g \times 0.168

           = 647.49 J/K

Hence, total entropy will be sum of entropy change of both the blocks.

            \Delta S_{total} = \Delta S_{1} + \Delta S_{2}

                       = -554.12 J/K + 647.49 J/K

                       = 93.37 J/K

Thus, we can conclude that for the given reaction \Delta H is 1243.5 kJ and \Delta S_{total} is 93.37 J/K.
