Answer:

2. Substance XYZ breaks down into X, Y, and Z.

Explanation:

In a <em>decomposition reaction</em>, one substance breaks down into two or more simpler substances. Thus, the reaction

XYZ ⟶ X + Y + Z

is a decomposition reaction.

1. is <em>wrong</em><em>.</em>

P + XY ⟶ PY + X

is a <em>displacement</em> reaction.

3. is <em>wrong</em>.

2Z + O₂ ⟶ 2ZO

is an <em>oxidation</em> or a<em> combination</em> <em>reaction</em>.

4 is <em>wrong</em>.

X + Y ⟶ XY

is a <em>combination reaction</em>.

A sample of an unknown compound was decomposed and found to be composed of 1.36 mol oxygen, 4.10 mol hydrogen, and 2.05 mol carb
Flura [38]

Answer:

C3H6O2

Explanation:

To find the empirical formula of the compound, we divide the amount in moles of each of the elements by the amount in mole of the element with the smallest number of mole. In this question, the element with the smallest number of moles is oxygen with 1.36 mole. Hence, we divide the number of moles of each element by this.

H = 4.10/1.36 = 3

O = 1.36/1.36 = 1

C = 2.05/1.36 = 1.5

We then multiply through by 2 to yield the compound with the empirical formula C3H6O2

From the following enthalpy of reaction data and data in Appendix C, calculate ΔH∘f for CaC2(s): CaC2(s)+2H2O(l)→Ca(OH)2(s)+C2H2
sashaice [31]

Answer:

From the following enthalpy of reaction data and data in Appendix C, calculate ΔH∘f for CaC2(s): CaC2(s)+2H2O(l)→Ca(OH)2(s)+C2H2(g)ΔH∘=−127.2kJ

ΔHf°(C2H2) = 227.4 kJ/mol

ΔHf°(H2O) = -285.8 kJ/mol and

ΔHf°(Ca(OH)2) = -985.2 kJ/mol

(Ans)

ΔHf° of CaC2 = -59.0 kJ/mol

Explanation:

CaC2(s) + 2 H2O(l) → Ca(OH)2(s) + C2H2 (g) = −127.2kJ

ΔHrxn = −127.2kJ

ΔHrxn = ΔHf°(C2H2) + ΔHf°(Ca(OH)2) - ΔHf°(CaC2)- 2ΔHf°(H2O);

ΔHf°(CaC2) = ΔHf°(C2H2) + ΔHf°(Ca(OH)2) - 2ΔHf°(H2O) – ΔHrxn

Where

ΔHf°(C2H2) = 227.4 kJ/mol

ΔHf°(H2O) = -285.8 kJ/mol and

ΔHf°(Ca(OH)2) = -985.2 kJ/mol

ΔHf°(CaC2) =227.4 - 985.2 + 2x285.8 + 127.2 = -59.0 kJ/mol

ΔHf°(CaC2) = -59.0 kJ/mol

Chlorine is used to disinfect swimming pools. the accepted concentration for this purpose is 1.00 ppm chlorine, or 1.00 g of chl
frez [133]

The accepted concentration of chlorine is 1.00 ppm that is 1 gram of chlorine per million of water.

The volume of water is 2.29\times 10^{4} gal.

Since, 1 gal= 3785.41 mL

Thus, 2.29\times 10^{4} gal=2.29\times 10^{4}\times 3785.41 mL=8.66\times 10^{7}mL

Density of water is 1 g/mL thus, mass of water will be 8.66\times 10^{7}g.

Since, 1 grams of chlorine →10^{6} grams of water.

1 g of water →10^{-6} g of chlorine and,

8.66\times 10^{7}g of water →86.6 g of chlorine

Since, the solution is 9% chlorine by mass, the volume of solution will be:

V=\frac{100}{9}\times 86.6 mL=9.62\times 10^{2} mL

Thus, volume of chlorine solution is 9.62\times 10^{2} mL.
