Question

Transcribed Image Text:Dimethyl ether, a useful organic solvent, is prepared in two steps. In the first step, carbon dioxide and hydrogen react to form methanol and water:
CO₂(g) + 3 H₂(g) → CH₂OH(1) + H₂O(1)
ΔΗ= -131. kJ
In the second step, methanol reacts to form dimethyl ether and water:
2 CH₂OH(1) CH₂OCH₂(g) + H₂O(1) ΔΗ= 8. kJ
Calculate the net change in enthalpy for the formation of one mole of dimethyl ether from carbon dioxide and hydrogen from these reactions.
Round your answer to the nearest kJ.

- When sulfuric acid dissolves in water, a great deal of heat is given off. The enthalpy change for this process is called the enthalpy of solution. To measure it, 175.0 g of water was placed in a coffee-cup calorimeter and chilled to 10.0 °C. Then 49.0 g of pure sulfuric acid, also at 10.0 °C, was added, and the mixture was quickly stirred with a thermometer. The temperature rose rapidly to 14.9 °C. Assume that the specific heat capacity of the resulting sulfuric acid solution is 4.19 J/g °C. Calculate the quantity of thermal energy transferred, Q, for the formation of this solution, and calculate the molar enthalpy of solution in kilojoules per mole of H₂SO4.arrow_forwardWhen 1.836 grams of sucrose (Molar mass 342.3 g/mol) is burned in a bomb calorimeter, the temperature of the calorimeter increases from 22.41°C to 26.63°C. If the heat capacity of the calorimeter is 4.900 kJ/°C, what is the heat of combustion of sucrose?arrow_forwardq represents the change in heat of a reaction or substance. The units of q are Joules (J) or kilojoules (kJ). For a well understood substance, we can calculate the specific heat which relates the mass of the substance in grams to the amount of heat in J required to raise that amount a certain temperature. We call that specific heat. The specific heat (Cs) of water is stated in the following way: C s ( H 2 O ) = 4.186 J g ∘ C This means that it takes 4.186 J of energy to raise the temperature of 1g of water by 1ºC. The relationship between q and Cs for a given substance is where m is mass (g) and ∆T is the change in temperature in ºC (final temp - initial temp). Calculate the heat change (q) in J when 4.297 grams of water is cooled from 3.967 ºC to -2.902 ºC. Enter your answer with one decimal place (tenths). Pay careful attention to the sign of your answer. The sign of ∆T is always the same as the sign for q.arrow_forward
