5. A sample of benzene (C6H6), weighing 7.05 g underwent combustion in a bomb calorimeter by the following reaction:



2 C6H6 (l) + 15 O2 (g) → 12 CO2 (g) + 6 H2O (l)



The heat given off was absorbed by 500 g of water and caused the temperature of the water and the calorimeter to rise from 25.00 to 53.13 oC. The heat capacity of water = 4.18 J/g/oC and the heat capacity of the calorimeter = 10.5 kJ/oC. (1) what is the ΔH of the reaction? Using the definitions at the beginning of the module describe (2) the calorimeter + contents, (3) the type of process.

Answer:

A sample of benzene (C6H6), weighing 7.05 g underwent combustion in a bomb calorimeter by the following reaction:

2 C6H6 (l) + 15 O2 (g) → 12 CO2 (g) + 6 H2O (l)

The heat given off was absorbed by 500 g of water and caused the temperature of the water and the calorimeter to rise from 25.00 to 53.13 oC. The heat capacity of water = 4.18 J/g/oC and the heat capacity of the calorimeter = 10.5 kJ/oC. (1) what is the ΔH of the reaction?

Explanation:

The heat energy released by the reaction = heat absorbed by calorimeter + heat absorbed by water

Heat absorbed by water = mass of water x specific heat capacity of water x change in temperature

Heat absorbed by water =  500 g x 4.18 J/g. oC x (53.13-25.00)oC

                                         = 58791.7 J

Heat absorbed by calorimeter = heat capacity of calorimeter x change in temperature

Heat absorbed by calorimeter = 10.5 x 10^3 J /oC  x (53.13-25.00)oC

                                                  =295365 J

Total heat energy absorbed = 58791.7 J + 295365 J  = 354156.7 J

Number of moles of benzene given is:

number of moles = goven mass of benzene /its molar mass

=7.05 g / 78.0 g/mol

=0.0903mol

Hence, the heat released by the reaction is:

= 354156.7 J / 0.0903 mol

=  3922.00 kJ/mol

Answer:

The heat released during the combustion of 7.05g of benzene is 3922.00kJ/mol.

A cars antitheft alarm tat sounds in the middle of the night in a crowded city neighborhood may stop an attempted car theft. On the other hand, the alarm might signal only a fault in the device, or a response to some harmless contact, such as a tree branch brushing the car. But whatever the cause, the sleep of many people in the neighborhood is disturbed. Out of consideration for others, people who have these antitheft alarms on their cars should deactivate them when they park in crowded city neighborhoods at night.Which one of the following, if assumed by the author of the passage, would allow her properly to draw her conclusion that the owners of alarm-equipped cars should deactivate the alarms when parking in crowded city neighborhoods at night?(A) The inconvenience of false alarms is small price to pay for the security of a neighborhood.(B) In most cases when a car alarm sounds at night, it is a false alarm.(C) Allowing the residents of a crowded city neighborhood to sleep undisturbed is more important than preventing car theft.(D) People who equip their cars with antitheft alarms are generally inconsiderate of others.(E) The sounding of car antitheft alarms during the daytime does not disturb the residents of crowded city neighborhoods.
