The combustion of hydrogen-oxygen mixtures is used to produce very high temperatures (ca. 2500 °C) needed for certain types of welding operations. Consider the reaction to be H₂(g) + ½O₂(g) → H₂O(g) ∆H° = -241.8 kJ/mol

What is the quantity of heat evolved, in kilojoules, when a 180 g mixture containing equal parts of H₂ and O₂ by mass is burned?
in kj

1360kJ are evolved

Explanation:

When 1mole of H2 reacts with 1/2 moles O2 producing 1 mole of water and 241.8kJ.

To solve this question we need to find the limiting reactant knowing were added 90g of H2 and 90g of O2 as follows:

Moles H2 -Molar mass: 2g/mol-

90g H2 * (1mol / 2g) = 45 moles

Moles O2 -Molar mass: 32g/mol-

90g * (1mol / 32g) = 2.81moles

For a complete reaction of 2.81 moles of O2 are needed:

2.81 moles O2 * (1mol H2 / 1/2 mol O2) = 5.62 moles H2

As there are 45 moles, H2 is the excess reactant and O2 the limiting reactant.

As 1/2 moles O2 produce 241.8kJ, 2.81 moles will produce:

2.81 moles O2 * (241.8kJ / 1/2moles O2) =

smooth muscle is composed of involuntary muscles found within the walls of organs and structures such as the esophagus, stomach, intestines, and blood vessels. those muscles push materials like food or blood through organs. unlike skeletal muscle, smooth muscle can never be under your control.
