Answer:

Explanation: Well each branch has its own little job especially when it comes to society. First we have the Organic Chemistry Branch It includes the study of all the possible compounds which have carbon in them. Then we have the Inorganic Chemistry Branch, the inorganic compounds find their use in medicine, food, agriculture and also technology. Next we have the Biochemistry Branch it deals with chemistry happening inside the living bodies of animals and plants. This subject is huge and plays an important role in medicine, agriculture, poultry, fisheries, etc. And finally we have the Physical Chemistry Branch it deals with the physical properties of chemicals or substances. It includes topics like gaseous laws (Dalton law), thermal conduction in liquids, gases, solids. The conductivity of electrolytes (used in batteries) liquids etc. It also deals with processes like sublimation, melting point, boiling point, the crystal structure of compounds, etc.

Acetylene burns in air according to the following equation: C2H2(g) + 5 2 O2(g) → 2 CO2(g) + H2O(g) ΔH o rxn = −1255.8 kJ Given

professor190 [17]

Answer: -227 kJ

Explanation:

The balanced chemical reaction is,

$C_2H_2(g)+\frac{5}{2}O_2(g)\rightarrow 2CO_2(g)+H_2O(g)$

The expression for enthalpy change is,

$\Delta H=\sum [n\times \Delta H_f(product)]-\sum [n\times \Delta H_f(reactant)]$

$\Delta H=[(n_{CO_2}\times \Delta H_{CO_2})+ n_{H_2O}\times \Delta H_{H_2O})]-[(n_{C_2H_2}\times \Delta H_{C_2H_2})+(n_{O_2}\times \Delta H_{O_2})]$

where,

n = number of moles

$\Delta H_{O_2}=0$ (as heat of formation of substances in their standard state is zero

Now put all the given values in this expression, we get

$-1255.8=[(2\times -393.5)+(1\times -241.8)]-[(1\times \Delta H_{C_2H_2})+(\frac{5}{2}\times 0)]$

$-1255.8=[(-787)+(-241.8)]-[(1\times \Delta H_{C_2H_2})+(0)]$

$\Delta H_{C_2H_2}=-227kJ$

Therefore, the enthalpy change for $C_2H_2$ is -227 kJ.

Which of the following is correct concerning Hess's law?

Margaret [11]

I believe the correct answer would be that t<span>he change in enthalpy can be found by adding the enthalpies of the individual thermochemical reactions of a chemical reaction.</span> In Hess' Law, enthalpy is independent of the mechanism of the reaction. The enthalpy should be the sum of all the changes in the reaction.

A 0.0035 M aqueous solution of a particular compound has pH = 2.46. The compound is (A) a weak base (B) a weak acid (C) a strong

slava [35]

Answer:

(a) A strong acid

Explanation:

We have given the pH of the solution is 2.46

pH=2.46

So the concentration of $H^+=10^{-pH}=10^{-2.46}=0.00346$

solution having H+ concentration more than $H^+=10^{-7}$ is acidic

Since in the given solution, H+ concentration is 0.00346 M which is more than 10^{-7}[/tex] so this is an acidic solution

Note-The concentration of $H^+$ decide the behavior of the solution that is, it is acidic or basic

A large flask is evacuated and weighed, filled with argon gas, and then reweighed. When reweighed, the flask is found to have ga

Elden [556K]

Answer:

100.52

Explanation:

from the ideal gas equation PV=nRT

for a given container filled with any ideal gas P and V remains constant.So T is also constant.R is as such a constant.

So n i.e no of moles will also be constant.

no of moles of Ar=3.224/40=0.0806

no of moles of unknown gas=0.0806

molecular wt of unknown gas=8.102/0.0806=100.52
