- Which of the following affect the rate of a reaction: (a) concentration; (b) ΔH; (c) energy difference between the reactants and the transition state?arrow_forwardOne mole of ethanol (C 2H 6O) releases 327 kcal when burned, whereas one mole of hydrogen (H 2) releases only 68.4 kcal/mol. How many kcal/g are released when each of these fuels is burned? On a per gram basis, which substance would be a better source of energy?arrow_forward3 Answer the following questions for the balanced reaction. CO2 (g) + 2H2O(l) --> CH4 (g) + 2O2 (g) ΔHrxn= +213 kcal If 377 kcal of energy was consumed what mass of CO2 was used?arrow_forward
- (a) Convert 41.3 L atm to kcal. (Use dimensional analysis) (b) Convert –279.67°F to K. (C)The standard enthalpy of formation of O(g) is 249 kJ/mol.Calculate the wavelength (in nm) of the electromagnetic radiation with the minimum amount of energy required for dissociation of one molecule of oxygen gas.arrow_forwarda sample of octane is burned in a bomb calorimeter containing 1.00 x 10^2 g H2O. If the water temp increases from 25.00 c to 37.00 c how much energy was released by the system 3.00 x 10^3 kcal 2.52 kal 2.40 kcal 1.65 kcal 1.20 kcalarrow_forwardGlucose, also known as “blood sugar" when measured in blood, has the formula C,H1,06. (a) Write the equation for the combustion of glucose with O2 to give CO, and H,O. (b) If 3.8 kcal (16 kJ) is released by combustion of each gram of glucose, how many kilocalories are released by the combustion of 1.50 mol of glucose? How kilojoules? many (c) What is the minimum amount of energy (in kJ) a plant must absorb to produce 15.0 g of glucose?arrow_forward
- O2g) 2 CH;OH) +3 O2G) → 2 CO2) + 4 H,O0 + 347 kcal Calculate the amount of heat in kcal & kJ released when 25.4 g of CH,OH, reacts.arrow_forwardVanillin is a natural constituent of vanilla that is also manufactured for use in artificial vanilla flavoring. The combustion of 1.013 g of vanillin, C3H&O3, in a bomb calorimeter that has a heat capacity of 4.90 kJ °C-1 causes the temperature to rise from 24.89°C to 30.09°C. What is the heat of combustion of vanillin in terms of kcal per gram?arrow_forwardCombustion reactions are exothermic. The heat of reaction for the combustion of cyclobutane, C4H8, is 650.3 kcal/mol. What is the heat of combustion for cyclobutane in kcal/gram? kcal/gram How much heat will be given off if molar quantities of cyclobutane react according to the following equation? C4H8 +602 → 4CO2 + 4H₂O kcalarrow_forward
- When CH4(g) reacts with H2O(g) to form H2(g) and CO(g) , 49.2 kcal of energy are absorbed for each mole of CH,(g) that reacts. Write a balanced equation for the reaction with an energy term in kcal as part of the equation.arrow_forwardis 2 NO2(g) → N2O4(g) + 19 kcal a exothermic or endothermicarrow_forwardAdd more NH3 what will happen to H2?arrow_forward
