In a
constant volume bomb calorimeter, the combustion of 0.6654 gof an
organic compound with a molecular mass of 46.07 amu causesthe
temperature in the calorimeter to rise from 25.000oc to
30.589 oc. the total heat capacity ofthe calorimeter
and all its contents is 3576 joc-1.
what is the energy of combustion ofthe organic
compound, du/ kj
mol-1?
pay attention to sign and significant figures!
if you wish to use scientific notation, use the "e" format:

1384 kJ/mol

Explanation:

The heat absorbed by the calorimeter is equal to the heat released due to the combustion of the organic compound. C is the total heat capacity of the calorimeter and Δt is the change in temperature from intial to final:

Q = CΔt = (3576 J°C⁻¹)(30.589°C - 25.000°C) = 19986.264 J

Extra significant figures are kept to avoid round-off errors.

We then calculate the moles of the organic compound:

(0.6654 g)(mol/46.07) = 0.0144432 mol

We then calculate the heat released per mole and convert to the proper units. (The conversion between kJ and J is infinitely precise and is not involved in the consideration of significant figures)

(19986.264 J)(1kJ/1000J) / (0.0144432 mol) = 1384 kJ/mol

the tides are influenced by both the moon and the sun, it's easy to see that when the sun lines up with the moon and the earth, as during a new moon or full moon, the tidal effect is increased. these are known as spring tides, named not for the season, but for the fact that the water "springs" higher than normal. on the other hand, if the sun and the moon are 90 degrees apart in relation to an observer on earth as during the first quarter moon or third quarter moon, then high tides are not as high as they normally would be. this is because despite its greater distance, the sun's mass allows it to exert enough gravitational force on the oceans that it can negate some of the effects of the moon's pull. this phenomenon of lower high tides is called a neap tide. if you need more information on this topic visit moonconnection.com.

in chemistry, adhesion and cohesion are attractive forces that exist between molecules. they hold the molecules together from each other. they are different in that adhesive force exists between molecules of different substance while cohesive force happens between molecules of same substance.

adhesion between water and glass causes water molecules at the edge of water and glass interface to climb up the wall in a narrow glass tube. this is called capillary action. cohesion is what gives glass its shape and causes water to form a droplet.
