Sodium carbonate (Na2CO3) reacts with acetic acid (CH3COOH) to form sodium acetate (NaCH3COO), carbon dioxide (CO2), and water (

H2O). A chemist carries out this reaction in a bomb calorimeter. The reaction causes the temperature of a bomb calorimeter to decrease by 0.985 K. The calorimeter has a mass of 1.500 kg and a specific heat of 2.52 J/g•K. What is the heat of reaction for this system?

Use the formula q=m×Cp×delta T

m=1.500 kg=1,500 g
Co=2.52 J/g·k
delta T=0.985k

q=(1,500g)(2.52 J/g·k)(0.985k)

=3,723.3 J=3.72


I JUST FINISHED THIS QUESTION AND IT SAID THAT THE ANSWER WAS -3.72 kJ SO PUT THAT DOWN AS YOUR ANSWER....I'm not sure why the answer is negative, but this is the most work I can show. If any one knows, why this answer is negative, please advise. Thank you. I hope that this helps :)

Answer:

\Delta _rH =-3723.3 J

Explanation:

Hello,

In this case, as you're working in a calorimeter, its associated heat equals the enthalpy of reaction due to the change in the temperature and its mass, in such a way, we compute it as follows:

\Delta _rH = mCp*\Delta T\\\Delta _rH = 1.500kg * \frac{1000g}{1kg}  * 2.52\frac{J}{g*K} * (-0.985K)\\\Delta _rH = - 3723.3 J

It is negative, since the temperature within the calorimeter is decreased.

Best regards.

You wish to make a buffer with pH 7.0. You combine 0.060 grams of acetic acid and 14.59 grams of sodium acetate and add water to
aleksandr82 [10.1K]

Answer:

The pH of the buffer is 7.0 and this pH is not useful to pH 7.0

Explanation:

The pH of a buffer is obtained by using H-H equation:

pH = pKa + log [A⁻] / [HA]

<em>Where pH is the pH of the buffer</em>

<em>The pKa of acetic acid is 4.74.</em>

<em>[A⁻] could be taken as moles of sodium acetate (14.59g * (1mol / 82g) = 0.1779 moles</em>

<em>[HA] are the moles of acetic acid (0.060g * (1mol / 60g) = 0.001moles</em>

<em />

Replacing:

pH = 4.74 + log [0.1779mol] / [0.001mol]

<em>pH = 6.99 ≈ 7.0</em>

<em />

The pH of the buffer is 7.0

But the buffer is not useful to pH = 7.0 because a buffer works between pKa±1 (For acetic acid: 3.74 - 5.74). As pH 7.0 is out of this interval,

this pH is not useful to pH 7.0

Which electron has a higher probability of being found at 4 Å of the nucleus, one in a 2s orbital or one in a 2p orbital?
Lena [83]

Answer:

one in a 2s orbital

Explanation:

Because of the peak near the nucleus in the 2s curve there is a higher probability of finding a 2s within 4 Å of the nucleus. In a multi-electron atom an electron in a 2s orbital will have a lower energy than one in a 2p orbital

Formulating an Investigative Question In this experiment, you will use a track and a toy car to explore the concept of movement.
Solnce55 [7]

Answer:

A scientific question to be asked is; <em>What is the average speed of the toy car?</em>

Explanation:

A scientific question is a question which is well defined, the values in the question can be measured, and the inputs and outputs related to the question are controllable

The parameters measured in the experiment are;

The time elapsed during the movement of the car, <em>Δt</em>

The distance the car moves, <em>d</em>

From the obtained measurements, the value can be calculated is the average speed of the toy car as follows;

The \ average \ speed \ of \ the \ toy \ car, \ v_{avg} = \dfrac{d}{\Delta t}

Therefore, a scientific question to be asked that will be answered by doing the experiment is; What is the average speed of the toy car?

Hello, I am stuck on a chemistry question. Would you be able to help? You arrive at a crime scene and are told the body of the v
maria [59]

Answer:

The vinegar is not enough to neutralize the pool.

Explanation:

The [OH⁻] in the pool is 1.0x10⁻¹mol / L. To know how many moles of OH⁻ are in the solution, you must calculate volume of the pool thus:

V(pool) = πr²h

<em>Where r, radius is d/2 = 12m/2 = 6m  and h is deep of the pool = 10m </em>

V(pool) = π(6m)²*10

V(pool) = 1131m³

As 1m³ = 1000L:

1131m³  × (1000L / 1m³) = 1131000L in the pool.

And moles of OH⁻ are:

1.0x10⁻¹mol / L ₓ 1131000L = 131100 moles of OH⁻ are in the pool

The neutralization of OH⁻ with H⁺ is:

OH⁻ + H⁺ → H₂O

<em>That means to neutralize the pool you must add 131100 moles of H⁺. </em>

The H⁺ concentration in a vinegar pH = 2 is:

pH = -log [H⁺]

2 = -log [H⁺]

1x10⁻²M = [H⁺]

4L are just 4x10⁻² moles of [H⁺]. As you need 131100 moles of H⁺:

Methanol (ch3oh) can react with oxygen gas to produce formaldehyde (h2co) and water. How many mole of formaldehyde can be produc
Umnica [9.8K]
<h2>The number of moles of formaldehyde can be produced by reacting 4.0 moles of methanol with 4.0 moles of oxygen gas is <u>8 moles</u></h2>

<u> explanation</u>

write   a balanced chemical reaction

that is 2 CH3OH (l) +  O2 (g) →  2HCOH (l)+ 2H2O (l)

from the reaction above  2 moles of CH3OH reacted with 1 moles of O2 to form 2 moles of HCOH and two moles of H2O

This imply that O2 is the limiting reagent ,therefore by use of mole ratio between  O2 : HCOH which is 1 :2 the moles of HCOH= 2 x4 =  8 moles
