Ethylene (C2H4) is the starting material for the preparation of polyethylene. Although typically made during the processing of p

etroleum, ethylene occurs naturally as a fruit-ripening hormone and as a component of natural gas. The heat of reaction for the combustion of C2H4 is −1411 kJ/mol. How many grams of C2H4 must burn to give 59.0 kJ of heat?

Answer:

1.17 grams

Explanation:

Let's consider the balanced equation for the combustion of ethylene.

C₂H₄(g) + 3 O₂(g) → 2 CO₂(g) + 2 H₂O(l)

We can establish the following relations:

  • 1411 kJ are released (-1411 kJ) when 1 mole of C₂H₄ burns.
  • The molar mass of C₂H₄ is 28.05 g/mol.

The grams of C₂H₄ burned to give 59.0 kJ of heat (q = -59.0 kJ) is:

-59.0kJ.\frac{1molC_{2}H_{4}}{-1411kJ} .\frac{28.05gC_{2}H_{4}}{1molC_{2}H_{4}} =1.17gC_{2}H_{4}

Explain why a propane torch is lit inside a hot air balloon during preflight preparations. Which gas law applies?
Olegator [25]

Propane torch is lit inside a hot air balloon during pre-flight preparation because the heat from the touch is needed to heat the cold air inside the balloon, so that the air will expand and become less dense and rise, thus providing a lift for the balloon. This is line with charle's law, which states that, the volume of a fixed mass of ideal gas is directly proportional to the absolute temperature. This law implies that, as the temperature of the air inside the balloon increase, the volume of the balloon also increases.

A sample of the chiral molecule limonene is 79% enantiopure. what percentage of each enantiomer is present? what is the percent
Degger [83]

Answer :  The % of (+) limonene isomer = 79%


                The % of (-) limonene isomer = 0%


                The % of enantiomeric excess = 58%


Explanation :   Enantiomeric excess (ee) is the measurement of purity used for chiral substances.


Given,


% of pure limonene enantiomer = The % of (+) limonene isomer = 79%


Therefore, The % of (-) limonene isomer = 0%


Formula used :  

\%(+)\text{ isomer}=\frac{ee}{2}+50\%


Where,         ee → enantiomeric excess


Now, put all the values in above formula, we get the value of enantiomeric excess (ee).


     {ee}=\frac{\%(+)-50\%}{2}


            =\frac{79\%-50\%}{2}


              = 58%

What is the total number of sp2-hybridized carbon atoms present in the fluorophore used in the experiments
Mandarinka [93]

Answer:

9

Explanation:

The structure of fluorophore used in the experiments has been drawn in the attachment. And from the drawing counting we can say that there are 9 sp2-hybridized carbon atoms present. Fiuorophores are a fluorescent chemical compound that can re-emit light upon light excitation. Normally used to produce absorbance and emission spectra.

At 73.0 ∘c , what is the maximum value of the reaction quotient, q, needed to produce a non-negative e value for the reaction so
damaskus [11]
Here we will use the general formula of Nernst equation:

Ecell = E°Cell - [(RT/nF)] *㏑Q

when E cell is cell potential at non - standard state conditions

E°Cell is standard state cell potential = - 0.87 V

and R is a constant = 8.314 J/mol K

and T is the temperature in Kelvin = 73 + 273 = 346 K

and F is Faraday's constant = 96485 C/mole

and n is the number of moles of electron transferred in the reaction=2  

and Q is the reaction quotient for the reaction 
SO42-2(aq) + 4H+(aq) +2Br-(aq) ↔  Br2(aq) + SO2(g) +2H2O(l)

so by substitution :

0 = -0.87 - [(8.314*346K)/(2* 96485)*㏑Q      → solve for Q 


∴ Q = 4.5 x 10^-26
