- Three reactions very important to the semiconductor industry are The reduction of silicon dioxide to crude silicon, SiO2(s) + 2 C(s) → Si(s) + 2 CO(g) ΔrH° = 689.9 kJ/mol The formation of silicon tetrachloride from crude silicon, Si(s) + 2 Cl2(g) → SiCl4(g) ΔrH° = −657.01 kJ/mol The reduction of silicon tetrachloride to pure silicon with magnesium, SiCl4(g) + 2 Mg(s) → 2 MgCl2(s) + Si(s) ΔrH° = −625.6 kJ/mol Calculate the overall enthalpy change when 1.00 mol sand, SiO2, changes into very pure silicon by this series of reactions.arrow_forwardOne of the few industrial-scale processes that produce organic compounds electrochemically is used by the Monsanto Company to produce1,4-dicyanobutane. The reduction reaction is 2CH2CHCH+2H++2eNC(CH2)4CN The NC(CH2)4CN is then chemically reduced using hydrogen gas to H2N(CH2)6NH2, which is used in the production of nylon. What current must be used to produce 150.kg NC(CH2)4CN per hour?arrow_forwardThe space shuttle Orbiter utilizes the oxidation of methylhydrazine by dinitrogen tetroxide for propulsion: 4N2H3CH3(l)+5N2O4(l)12H2O(g)+9N2(g)+4CO2(g) Calculate H for this reactionarrow_forward
- What is G for the following reaction? 2Br(aq)+Cl2(g)Br2(l)+2Cl(aq) Use data given in Table 19.1.arrow_forwardThe reaction of ethanol with oxygen to yield carbon dioxide and water. (This is the reaction in a flambéed dessert or when an alcoholic beverage is ignited.) C2H6O + O2 → CO2 + H2Oarrow_forwardPart 1 A student carried out an investigation to observe the effect of changing concentration of sulfuric acid on the breakdown of calcium carbonate (marble) chips. They changed the concentration of the acid between each test but kept the size of the marble chips constant. The full equation for the reaction and a graph of the overall results can be seen below. CaCO3(s) + H₂SO4(aq) → CaSO4(aq) + CO2(g) + H₂O (1) a) b) Rate of Reaction * Concentration of Acid (mol dm³) Explain, using collision theory, why the student obtained these results, and state what they could conclude about the effect of changing concentration of acid on the rate of reaction between calcium carbonate and sulfuric acid. If the student had ground up the calcium carbonate chips into a powder and run the tests again, what would you expect to happen to the rate of reaction? Briefly explain why by applying collision theory. Part 2 The student ran the same experiment, but this time changed the temperature, increasing it…arrow_forward
- Identify the choice that best completes the statement or answers the question. Which of these substances is oxidized? Fe203 + 3CO → 2Fe + CO2 o Fe,O3 O CO 2Fe C O2arrow_forwardBetween CO2 and air, which loses more heat upon cooling after heating? Explain why this occurs.arrow_forwardSuppose a pair of chemical compounds A and B can react in two different ways: A+B → C Reaction 1 gives product C. A+B → D Reaction 2 gives product D. The following facts are known about the two reactions: ● Reaction 1 is endothermic and Reaction 2 is exothermic. • If a reaction vessel is charged ("filled") with A and B, then at first C is produced faster than D. Use these facts to sketch a qualitative reaction energy diagram for both reactions. Note: because these sketches are only qualitative, the energies don't have to be exact. They only have to have the right relationship to each other. For exam if one energy is less than another, that fact should be clear in your sketch.

- What mass of carbon dioxide is formed from burning one gallon of octane, C8H18? Octane has a density of 703 kg/m3.1 L = 0.2642 gal 1 lb = 453.592 gAn average tree absorbs 48 pounds of CO2 in one year. How many trees would you need to plant to offset the CO2produced from burning one gallon of octane every day for one year (365 days)?arrow_forwardThe reaction between elemental phosphorus P4(s) and O2(g) to make P4O10(s):arrow_forwardThe first step in the synthesis of alum is to react aluminum with potassium hydroxide. Why does this need to be heated? to speed up the reaction, but it doesn't need to be heated the whole time. The reaction is exothermic and will eventually produce enough heat to progress on its own. to make the reaction happen. It must be heated the whole time or the reaction will stop. to slow the reaction down. It will proceed too quickly without heat. It doesn't need heating. It might catch fire if it is heated.arrow_forward
