- What is incomplete combustion of fossil fuels? Why can this be a problem?arrow_forwardCalcium carbide, CaC2, is manufactured by reducing lime with carbon at high temperature. (The carbide is used in turn to make acetylene, an industrially important organic chemical.) Is the reaction endothermic or exothermic?arrow_forward9.68 What are some features of petroleum that make it such an attractive fuel?arrow_forward
- Consider the Haber process: N2(g)+3H2(g)2NH3(g);H=91.8kJ The density of ammonia at 25C and 1.00 atm is 0.696 g/L. The density of nitrogen, N2, is 1.145 g/L, and the molar heat capacity is 29.12 J/(mol C). (a) How much heat is evolved in the production of 1.00 L of ammonia at 25C and 1.00 atm? (b) What percentage of this heat is required to heat the nitrogen required for this reaction (0.500 L) from 25C to 400C, the temperature at which the Haber process is run?arrow_forwardSilicon forms a series of compounds analogous to the al-kanes and having the general formula SinH2n+2. The first of these compounds is silane, SiH4, which is used in the electronics industry to produce thin ultrapure silicon films. SiH4(g) is somewhat difficult to work with because it is py-ropboric at room temperature—meaning that it bursts into flame spontaneously when exposed to air. (a) Write an equation for the combustion of SiH4(g). (The reaction is analogous to hydrocarbon combustion, and SiO2 is a solid under standard conditions. Assume the water produced will be a gas.) (b) Use the data from Appendix E to calculate ? for this reaction. (c) Calculate G and show that the reaction is spontaneous at 25°C. (d) Compare G for this reaction to the combustion of methane. (See the previous problem.) Are the reactions in these two exercises enthalpy or entropy driven? Explain.arrow_forwardWhich molecule, F2, Cl2, Br2, or I2, has the weakest chemical bond?arrow_forward
- Calculate AH for the reaction NH3 (g) + CH4 (g) → HCN (g) + 3 H2 (g) , from the following data. N2 (g) + 3 H2 (g) → 2 NH3 (g) ΔΗ- – 91. 8 kJ /mol C (s, graphite) + 2 H2 (g) → CH4 (g) - 74. 9 kJ / mol AH = 2 C (s, graphite) + H2 (g) + N2 (g) → 2 HCN (g) AH = ΔΗ: 270. 3 kJ / molarrow_forwardThe reaction that was on the screen when you started and its derivative demonstrate that the reaction enthalpy, ΔH, changes sign when a process is reversed. Consider the reaction H2O(l)→H2O(g), ΔH =44.0kJ What will ΔH be for the reaction if it is reversed?arrow_forwardA large sport utility vehicle has a mass of 2500 kg.Calculate the mass of CO2 emitted into the atmosphere upon accelerating the SUV from 0.0 mph to 65.0 mph. Assume that the required energy comes from the combustion of octane (C8H18) with 30% efficiency. (Hint: Use KE = ½ mv2 to calculate the kinetic energy required for the acceleration and pay attention to units).arrow_forward

Assume that the required energy comes from the combustion of octane with 30% efficiency. (Hint: Use KE = 1 /2mv2 to calculate the kinetic energy required for the acceleration.)arrow_forwardConsider the following reaction: 3 C(s) + 4 H₂(g) →→ C3H8(g) Which of the following statements is correct about this reaction? Use the following reactions and thermodynamic data: Reaction: C3H8(g) + 5 O2(g) → 3 CO₂ (g) + 4H₂O C(s) + O₂(g) → CO₂(g) 2 H₂(g) + O₂(g) → 2H₂O(g) AG=-23.4 kJ AS >0 The reaction is non-spontaneous The reaction is spontaneous not enough information is given AS <0 AG rxn (kJ) -394.4 -457.1 karrow_forwardA sample of a hydrocarbon is completely combusted in presence in O2(g) to produce 21.83 g carbon dioxide, 4.47 g H2O, and 311 KJ of heat. What is the mass of hydrocarbon sample that was combusted? What is the empirical formula of the hydrocarbon? Calculate the value of Ho per empirical-formula unit of the hydrocarbon.
