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.

During an exothermic reaction, ΔH for the reactants was 890 kJ/mol. Which of the following statements is correct about the ΔH fo
kaheart [24]

Answer:-A. It is less than 890 kJ/mol because the amount of energy required to break bonds is less than the amount of energy released in forming bonds.

Explanation: Endothermic reactions are defined as the reactions in which energy of the product is greater than the energy of the reactants. The total energy is absorbed in the form of heat and \Delta H for the reaction comes out to be positive.

Exothermic reactions are defined as the reactions in which energy of the product is lesser than the energy of the reactants. The total energy is released in the form of heat and \Delta H for the reaction comes out to be negative.

In the formation of new bonds more energy is released than is required to break the existing bonds, heat is released.

In the formation of bonds less energy is released than is required to break the existing bonds, heat is absorbed.

A solution is made by dissolving 58.125 g of sample of an unknown, nonelectrolyte compound in water. The mass of the solution is
e-lub [12.9K]

Answer:

molecular weight (Mb) = 0.42 g/mol

Explanation:

mass sample (solute) (wb) = 58.125 g

mass sln = 750.0 g = mass solute + mass solvent

∴ solute (b) unknown nonelectrolyte compound

∴ solvent (a): water

⇒ mb = mol solute/Kg solvent (nb/wa)

boiling point:

  • ΔT = K*mb = 100.220°C ≅ 373.22 K

∴ K water = 1.86 K.Kg/mol

⇒ Mb = ? (molecular weight) (wb/nb)

⇒ mb = ΔT / K

⇒ mb = (373.22 K) / (1.86 K.Kg/mol)

⇒ mb = 200.656 mol/Kg

∴ mass solvent = 750.0 g - 58.125 g = 691.875 g = 0.692 Kg

moles solute:

⇒ nb = (200.656 mol/Kg)*(0.692 Kg) = 138.83 mol solute

molecular weight:

⇒ Mb = (58.125 g)/(138.83 mol) = 0.42 g/mol

What is the driving force for the reaction of hcl(aq) and naoh(aq)?
vaieri [72.5K]
This is a type of metathesis reaction, also referred to as double-displacement reactions. In this reaction, the solvent and electrolyte is water, and they are driven by the formation of the non-electrolytic product. Therefore, the driving force behind the neutralization reaction between HCl and NaOH is the formation of sodium chloride, NaCl.

According to the following reaction, how many grams of chloric acid (HClO3) are produced in the complete reaction of 31.6 grams
gogolik [260]

Answer:

m_{HClO_3}=12.7gHClO_3

Explanation:

Hello,

Considering the reaction:

3Cl_2(g)+3H_2O(l)-->5HCl+HClO_3

The molar masses of chlorine and chloric acid are:

M_{Cl_2}=35.45*2=70.9g/mol\\M_{HClO_3}=1+35.45+16*3=84.45g/mol

Now, we develop the stoichiometric relationship to find the mass of chloric acid, considering the molar ratio 3:1 between chlorine and chloric acid, as follows:

m_{HClO_3}=31.6gCl_2*\frac{1molCl_2}{70.9gCl_2} *\frac{1molHClO_3}{3mol Cl_2} *\frac{85.45g HClO_3}{1mol HClO_3} \\m_{HClO_3}=12.7gHClO_3

Best regards.

A new student is planning to use thin layer chromatography (TLC) for his research project. After setting up the apparatus the st
tamaranim1 [39]

Answer:

The open system evaporates the solvent in the solution

Explanation:

An open system is a system in which exchange of materials and energy can occur. If a TLC set up is left open, then the set up constitutes an open system.

During TLC, the sample is dotted on the plate and inserted into a suitable solvent. The solvent moves up the plate and achieves the required separation of the mixture.

Most of these solvents used used TLC are volatile organic compounds. Therefore, if the TLC set up is left open, the solvent will evaporate leading to poor results after running the TLC experiment.
