The reaction between carbon tetrachloride, ccl4, and water, h2o, to form carbon dioxide, co2, and hydrogen chloride, hcl, has a

δg∘ value of −232 kj/mole, and so is thermodynamically favored. but when you mix carbon tetrachloride with water, no change is observed. what is a possible explanation for this

The given reaction is:

CCl4 + 2H2O → CO2 + 4 HCl

The standard Gibbs free energy change for this reaction is, ΔG°= -232 kJ/mole. Since ΔG is negative, this implies that the above reaction must be spontaneous and thermodynamically favored.

However, the activation energy for this reaction is high. This implies that when CCl4 and H2O collide they need to overcome an energy barrier to form the products. In other words, although the reaction is thermodynamically favored it is not kinetically favored. The reaction might proceed at an extremely slow rate as a result of which no obvious change might be observed.

Tell whether the following pairs of compounds are identical, constitutional isomers, stereoisomers, or unrelated. (a) cis-1,3-Di
Aleks04 [339]

Answer:

     (a) Constitutional Isomers

     (b) Constitutional Isomers

Explanation:

Constitutional isomers are also known with the name Structural Isomers. These are the compounds which have same chemical formula but differ in arrangement of atoms i.e. structure.

Both the compounds <em>cis-1,3-dibromocyclohexane</em> and <em>trans-1,4-dibromocyclohexane</em> have the same chemical formula C_{6} H_{10} Br_{2} but have different structure as shown in the image below.

In the second case the compounds <em>2,3-dimethylhexane</em> and <em>2,3,3-trimethylpentane</em>, both have same chemical formula C_{8} H_{18} but have different structures which is shown in the image below.

Thus it is clear that in both the groups (a) and (b) the given compounds are Constitutional Isomers.

Consider the reaction: 2 Al + 3Br2 → 2 AlBr3 Suppose a reaction vessel initially contains 5.0 mole Al and 6.0 mole Br2. What is
timama [110]

Answer:

4 moles of AlBr_3 and 1 mole of Al will be present in the reaction vessel

Explanation:

The reaction given in the question is

2Al +  3 Br_2 ⇒ 2AlBr_3

According to the stoichiometric coefficients of the reaction, 2 moles of Al requires 3 moles of Br_2 so in this reaction, Br_2 is a limiting reagent. So we will consider that Al is in excess.

Now,

Since 3 moles of Br_2 requires 2 moles of Al

So, for 6 moles of Br_2 the moles of Al required = \frac{2}{3} \times 6 = 4 moles.

Moles of Al remaining after the completion of reaction = 5 - 4 = 1 mole.

Again,

Since 3 moles of Br_2 produces 2 moles of AlBr_3

So, moles of AlBr_3 produced by 6 moles of Br_2 = \frac{2}{3} \times 6 = 4 moles.

Therefore, after the completion of reaction, 4 moles of AlBr_3 and 1 mole of Al will be present in the reaction vessel.

vitfil [10]
<span>The density of an iceberg is less than that of water and that is why it floats. It is the same as ice cubes floating on water too. Water is a very unique substance in that it is one of few compounds where cooling it past freezing point decreases its density (study hydrogen bonds). The possible answers are therefore A or C. If the majority of the ice is below the water then it should be clear from common sense that A is the correct answer as it would mostly float on the top with just a little under the surface if the answer were as low as C. See Archimedes Principle for an explanation of how much of the ice floats and how much is underwater.</span>

Naddik [55]

Answer:

Mitochondria are abundantly present in mammalian cells. Their fraction varies from tissue to tissue, ranging from <1% (volume) in white blood cells to 35% in heart muscle cells. However, mitochondria should not be thought of as single entities, but rather a dynamic network that continuously undergoes fission and fusion processes. In skeletal muscle, mitochondria exist as a reticular membrane network. The subsarcolemmal (SS) and intermyofibrillar (IMF) mitochondria are located in distinct subcellular regions, and they possess subtle differences in biochemical and functional properties that are characterized by their anatomical locations. SS mitochondria lie directly beneath the sarcolemmal membrane and the IMF mitochondria are located in close contact with the myofibril. Their different properties are likely to influence their capacity for adaptation. SS mitochondria account for 10-15% of the mitochondrial volume and this population has been shown to be more susceptible to adaptation than the IMF mitochondria. However, the IMF mitochondria were found to have higher rates of protein synthesises, enzyme activities and respiration (1).

Standard Thermodynamic Quantities for Selected Substances at 25 ∘C Reactant or product ΔHf∘(kJ/mol) Al(s) 0.0 MnO2(s) −520.0 Al2
Svet_ta [14]

Answer:

-1815.4 kJ/mol

Explanation:

Starting with standard enthalpies of formation you can calculate the standard enthalpy for the reaction doing this simple calculation:

∑ n *ΔH formation (products) - ∑ n *ΔH formation (reagents)

This is possible because enthalpy is state function meaning it only deppends on the initial and final state of the system (That's why is also possible to "mix" reactions with Hess Law to determine the enthalpy of a new reaction). Also the enthalpy of formation is the heat required to form the compound from pure elements, then products are just atoms of reagents organized in a different form.

In this case:

ΔH rxn = [(2 * -1675.7) - (3 * -520.0)] kJ/mol = -1815.4 kJ/mol
