Please help me understand this.
Please show me how, why, and where. Show all work please.

1) C4 H10 O (g) + 6 O2 ---> 4 CO2 + 5 H2O (g)
Calculate the work, at 25*C, for the combustion of 37.0g of C4 H10 O with a sufficiency of oxygen. R= 8.31 J/mole x K Answer is -2480 J

2) In a Coffee cup calorimeter, with a heat capacity of 44 J/*C, 50.0 mL of 0.100 M NaOH is reacted with 50.0mL of 0.100 M HBr. The temperature of the calorimeter and it's contects rises by 1.08*C as the reaction occurs. Assuming the specific heat of the resulting solution is 4.18 J/g*C and it's density is 1.02 g/mL, calculate the heat of the reaction in units of kJ per mole of NaOH reacted. Answer is -102 kJ/mole

Work is equal to change in volume times pressure w = dV X p.
You have 37g of gas butinol. You need to convert this to mols then add the mols of oxygen. With that, you can convert to volume at 25C via PV=nRT. Then calculate the volume of the products using the balanced equation given. You will then have the change in volume dV. Then convert to Joules via 1 Liter-atmosphere = 101 Joules. That will be your answer.

Now that I say that, it sounds overwhelming. If you want to work through it step by step, I'll check each step. Step one is converting 37 grams of C4H10O to mols.

Hypography?

Hypography [n.]: A combination of "hyperlink" and "bibliography" - ie, a list of links to electronic documents. Comparable to discography and bibliography, but not cartography.

We have been online since May 2000, and aim to be the best place to find and share science-related content of all kinds.

Share the love!
