Calculate ΔH and ΔStot when two copper blocks, each of mass 10.0 kg, one at 100°C and the other at 0°C, are placed in contact in

an isolated container. The specific heat capacity of copper is 0.385 J K−1 g−1 and may be assumed constant over the temperature range involved.

Clarification:

The pertinent information is outlined as follows.

m = 10.0 kg = 10,000 g (since 1 kg = 1000 g)

Starting temperature of block 1, $T_{1} = 100^{o}C$ = (100 + 273) K = 373 K

Starting temperature of block 2, $T_{2} = 0^{o}C$ = (0 + 273) K = 273 K

Therefore, the heat lost by block 1 equals the heat received by block 2

$mC \Delta T = mC \times \Delta T$

$10000 g \times 0.385 \times (T_{f} - 100)^{o}C = 10000 g \times 0.385 \times (0 - T_{f})^{o}C$

$T_{f} - 100^{o}C = 0^{o}C - T_{f}$

$2T_{f} = 100^{o}C$

$T_{f} = 50^{o}C$

It's important to convert the temperature into Kelvin as (50 + 273) K = 323 K.

Additionally, the relationship between enthalpy and temperature change is as follows.

$\Delta H = mC \Delta T$

= $10000 g \times 0.385 J/K g \times 323 K$

= 1243550 J

or, = 1243.5 kJ

Next, determine the entropy change for block 1 as follows.

$\Delta S_{1} = mC ln \frac{T_{f}}{T_{i}}$

= $10000 g \times 0.385 J/K g \times ln \frac{323}{373}$

= $10000 g \times 0.385 J/K g \times -0.143$

= -554.12 J/K

Now, the entropy change for block 2 is as follows.

$\Delta S_{2} = mC ln \frac{T_{f}}{T_{i}}$

= $10000 g \times 0.385 J/K g \times ln \frac{323}{273}$

= $10000 g \times 0.385 J/K g \times 0.168$

= 647.49 J/K

Thus, the total entropy is the sum of the entropy changes of both blocks.

= -554.12 J/K + 647.49 J/K $\Delta S_{total} = \Delta S_{1} + \Delta S_{2}$

= 93.37 J/K

In conclusion, for this reaction, the outcome is 1243.5 kJ and $\Delta S_{total}$ is 93.37 J/K.

65g of nitric acid are produced in a reaction. 2.5g of platinum are added to the reaction vessel at the start of the reaction to

alisha [2704]

Answer:

2.5 g of platinum

Explanation:

A catalyst is a substance added to a reaction to enhance the reaction speed. It does not undergo any change during the reaction, meaning it remains unchanged after the reaction concludes. The role of a catalyst is to provide an alternative pathway for the reaction by reducing the activation energy required. Therefore, a catalyzed reaction occurs more rapidly and requires less energy compared to an uncatalyzed one.

Since catalysts do not get involved in reactions and retain their mass post-reaction, the amount of platinum will stay the same (2.5g). The mass can only alter if a substance participates in the chemical process. Thus, this is the response.

A sample of neon gas at STP is allowed to expand into an evacuated vessel. What is the sign of work for this process?

Alekssandra [2711]

Answer:

The work done in this process will be considered Negative.

Explanation:

The energy transferred by the system to the environment is negative

Therefore, if work is done on the system, it is labeled as positive. Conversely, when work is done by the system, it is regarded as negative.

In this scenario, the argon gas is expanding, and the work is exerted by the system into the surroundings (container), making the sign Negative.

Thus, the result for the work pertaining to this process will carry a Negative sign.

The concentration of Si in an Fe-Si alloy is 0.25 wt%. What is the concentration in kilograms of Si per cubic meter of alloy?

KiRa [2711]

Answer: The mass of Si in kilograms is, $19.55kg/m^3$

Explanation:

Given that the Si concentration in an Fe-Si alloy is 0.25 weight percent, this translates to:

Mass of Si = 0.25 g = 0.00025 kg

Mass of Fe = 100 - 0.25 = 99.75 g = 0.09975 kg

Density of Si = $2.32g/cm^3=2.32\times 10^6g/m^3$

Density of Fe = $7.87g/cm^3=7.87\times 10^6g/m^3$

Next, we need to find the quantity of Si in kilograms per cubic meter of alloy.

Si concentration in kilograms = $\frac{\text{Weight of Si in 100 g of alloy}}{\text{Volume of 100 g of alloy}}$

Si concentration in kilograms = $\frac{\text{Weight of Si in 100 g of alloy}}{\frac{\text{Wight of Fe}}{\text{Density of Fe}}+\frac{\text{Wight of Si}}{\text{Density of Si}}}$

By substituting all the provided values into this formula, we arrive at:

Si concentration in kilograms = $\frac{0.00025kg}{\frac{99.75g}{7.87\times 10^6g/m^3}+\frac{0.25g}{2.23\times 10^6g/m^3}}$

Si concentration in kilograms = $19.55kg/m^3$

Hence, the mass of Si in kilograms is, $19.55kg/m^3$

13.3 g of benzene (C6H6) is dissolved in 282 g of carbon tetrachloride. What is the molal concentration of benzene in this solut

Tems11 [2390]

Answer:

0.605 molal

Explanation:

Molality indicates the solute amount in a specific solvent mass.

Let’s find the amount of benzene solute.

Mass of benzene = 13.3g

Molar mass of C6H6 = 12*6 +1*6 =72+7=78g/mol

Amount of benzene = mass/molar mass

=13.3/78

=0.1705mol

Molality = amount of solute/mass of solvent in kg

Mass of solvent = 282g = 0.282kg

Molality = 0.1705/0.282

=0.605 molal

How many fluorine atoms are present in 5.85 g of c2f4?

eduard [2509]

The molar mass of C2F4 (tetrafluoroethylene) is 100 g/mol. To find the number of moles of C2F4 in the specified quantity,
n = (5.85 g) / (100 g/mol) = 0.0585 mols C2F4
The calculation for the number of molecules per mole is done via the equation,
(0.0585 mols) x (6.022 x 10^23)
Given that each molecule contains 4 F atoms, then,
(0.0585 mols) x (6.022 x 10^23)(4)
= 1.41 x 10^23 atoms of F
