Summary Introduction

To review:

The balanced equationwhen ferric oxide (Fe2O3) reacts with methane (CH4).

Introduction:

A chemical equation is the representation of a chemical reaction in the form of symbols. Abalanced chemical equation is an equation that has an equal number ofatoms on the reactant and the product side. Balancing of chemical equations is done to make sure that a chemical reaction follows the law of conservation of mass (according to whic, hhe masses of reactants and products are always equal).

Cao (s) (calcium oxide) is the main ingredient of concrete. While mixing Cao with water, the mixture gets hotter rapidly by its own. The chemical equation of the reaction is given below. Cao (s) + H20 (liq) > Ca(OH)2 (s) Based on the above information, which of the following is correct for the above process to mix Cao (s) with water. O a. AH> 0, AS> 0, AG0, AG 0 , ΔS> 0 , ΔG>0 O e.

A 1.23 g sample of acetic acid (HC2H3O2) was burned in excess oxygen in a bomb calorimeter. The calorimeter, which alone had a heat capacity of 2.67 kJ/°C, CONTAINED 745 G OF WATER. The temperature of the calorimeter and its contents increased from 23.77 °C to 27.95 °C. What is ΔH (in kJ) for the combustion of 1.00 mol of acetic acid is 60 g/mol.
Direct methanol fuel cells (DMFCS) have shown some promise as a viable option for providing "green" energy to small electrical devices. Calculate E° for the reaction that takes place in DMFCS: CH3OH(I) + 3/2 02(g) → CO2(g) + 2 H20(1) Use the following values. AG°H,0(1) = -237 kJ/mol AG°O2(g) = 0 kJ/mol AG°CO2(9) = -394 kJ/mol AG°CH3OH(I) = -166 kJ/mol. E° = V
