Chemistry & Chemical Reactivity
- When lightning strikes, the energy can force atmospheric nitrogen and oxygen to react to make NO: N2(g)+O2(g)2NO(g)H=+181.8kJ (a) Is this reaction endothermic or exothermic? (b) What quantities of reactants and products are assumed if H = +181.8 kJ? (c) What is the enthalpy change when 3.50 g nitrogen is reacted with excess O2(g)?arrow_forwardA rebreathing gas mask contains potassium superoxide, KO2, which reacts with moisture in the breath to give oxygen. 4KO2(s)+2H2O(l)4KOH(s)+3O2(g) Estimate the grams of potassium superoxide required to supply a persons oxygen needs for one hour. Assume a person requires 1.00 102 kcal of energy for this time period. Further assume that this energy can be equated to the heat of combustion of a quantity of glucose, C6H12O6, to CO2(g) and H2O(l). From the amount of glucose required to give 1.00 102 kcal of heat, calculate the amount of oxygen consumed and hence the amount of KO2 required. The ff0 for glucose(s) is 1273 kJ/mol.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_forward
- How much heat is absorbed by a 44.7-g piece of leadwhen its temperature increases by 65.4°C?arrow_forwardThe process of dissolving ammonium nitrate, NH4NO3, in water is an endothermic process. What is the sign of q? If you were to add some ammonium nitrate to water in a flask, would you expect the flask to feel warm or cool?arrow_forwardGraphite is burned in oxygen to give carbon monoxide and carbon dioxide. If the product mixture is 33% CO and 67% CO2 by mass, what is the heat from the combustion of 1.00 g of graphite?arrow_forward

A2(aq)+B2(aq)2AB(aq);H=+271kJ/mol If solutions A2(aq) and B2(aq), starting at the same temperature, are mixed in a coffee-cup calorimeter, the reaction that occurs is a exothermic, and the temperature of the resulting solution rises. b endothermic, and the temperature of the resulting solution rises. c endothermic, and the temperature of the resulting solution falls. d exothermic, and the temperature of the resulting solution falls. e exothermic or endothermic, depending on the original and final temperatures.arrow_forwardWhen one mole of ethylene gas, C2H4, reacts with fluorine gas, hydrogen fluoride and carbon tetrafluoride gases are formed and 2496.7 kJ of heat are given off. What is Hf for CF4(g)?arrow_forward
- When solid iron burns in oxygen gas (at constant pressure) to produce Fe2O3(s), 1651 kJ of heat is released for every 4 mol of iron burned. How much heat is released when 10.3 g Fe2O3(s) is produced (at constant pressure)? What additional information would you need to calculate the heat released to produce this much Fe2O3(s) if you burned iron in ozone gas, O3(g), instead of O2(g)?arrow_forwardThe thermochemical equation for the burning of methane, the main component of natural gas, is CH4(g)+2O2(g)CO2(g)+2H2O(l)H=890kJ (a) Is this reaction endothermic or exothermic? (b) What quantities of reactants and products are assumed if H = 890 kJ? (c) What is the enthalpy change when 1.00 g methane burns in an excess of oxygen?arrow_forwardWater gas, a mixture of carbon monoxide and hydrogen, is produced by treating carbon (in the form of coke or coal) with steam at high temperatures. (See Study Question 83.) C(s) + H2O(g) CO(g) + H2(g) Not all of the carbon available is converted to water gas since some is burned to provide the heat for the endothermic reaction of carbon and water.
