Chapter 16: Q57 E (page 881)

Write conversion factors (as ratios) for the number of:

(a) yards in 1 meter

(b) liters in 1 liquid quart

(c) pounds in 1 kilogram

Short Answer

Expert verified

(a) 1.0936 yd/m

(b) 0.94635 L/qt

(c) 2.2046 lb/kg

Step by step solution

01

Common conversion factor:

A unit conversion factor is a ratio of two equivalent amounts expressed in different measuring units.

02

Explanation for yards in 1 meter:

For this, we have to divide no. of yards present by 1m

i.e. \(\frac{{1.0936yd}}{{1m}}\)

03

Explanation for liters in 1 liquid quart:

We need to divide no. of liters in one liquid by 1 liquid quart

i.e. \(\frac{{0.9635L}}{{1qt}}\)

04

Explanation for pounds in 1 kilogram:

To find pounds in 1Kg, we need to divide no. of pounds available by 1kg

i.e. \(\frac{{2.2046lb}}{{1Kg}}\)

"Thermite" reactions have been used for welding metal parts such as railway rails and in metal refining. One such thermite reaction is \({\bf{F}}{{\bf{e}}_{\bf{2}}}{{\bf{O}}_{\bf{3}}}{\bf{(s) + 2Al(s)}} \to {\bf{A}}{{\bf{l}}_{\bf{2}}}{{\bf{O}}_{\bf{3}}}{\bf{(s) + 2Fe(s)}}\). Is the reaction spontaneous at room temperature under standard conditions? During the reaction, the surroundings absorb \({\bf{851}}{\bf{.8\;kJ/mol}}\)of heat.

An important source of copper is from the copper ore, chalcocite, a form of copper(I) sulfide. When heated, the \({\bf{C}}{{\bf{u}}_{\bf{2}}}{\bf{S}}\) decomposes to form copper and sulfur described by the following equation:

\({\bf{C}}{{\bf{u}}_{\bf{2}}}{\bf{\;S(s)}} \to {\bf{Cu(s) + S(s)}}\)

(a) Determine \({\bf{\Delta G}}_{{\bf{298}}}^{\bf{^\circ }}\)for the decomposition of \({\bf{C}}{{\bf{u}}_{\bf{2}}}{\bf{S(\;s)}}\).

(b) The reaction of sulfur with oxygen yields sulfur dioxide as the only product. Write an equation that describes this reaction, and determine\({\bf{\Delta G}}_{{\bf{298}}}^{\bf{^\circ }}\)for the process.

(c) The production of copper from chalcocite is performed by roasting the \({\bf{C}}{{\bf{u}}_{\bf{2}}}{\bf{S}}\) in air to produce the \({\bf{Cu}}\). By combining the equations from Parts (a) and (b), write the equation that describes the roasting of the chalcocite, and explain why coupling these reactions together makes for a more efficient process for the production of the copper.

One of the important reactions in the biochemical pathway glycolysis is the reaction of glucose-6-phosphate (G6P) to form fructose-6-phosphate (F6P):

\({\text{G}}6{\text{P}} \rightleftharpoons {\text{F}}6{\text{P}}\;\;\;\Delta G_{298}^\circ = 1.7\;{\text{kJ}}\)

(a) Is the reaction spontaneous or nonspontaneous under standard thermodynamic conditions?

(b) Standard thermodynamic conditions imply the concentrations of G6P and F6P to be \(1M\), however, in a typical cell, they are not even close to these values. Calculate \(\Delta G\)when the concentrations of G6P and F6P are \(120\mu M\) and \(28\mu M\)respectively, and discuss the spontaneity of the forward reaction under these conditions. Assume the temperature is 37°C

Calculate the standard entropy change for the following process:

\({{\bf{H}}_{\bf{2}}}{\bf{(g) + }}{{\bf{C}}_{\bf{2}}}{{\bf{H}}_{\bf{4}}}{\bf{(g)}} \to {{\bf{C}}_{\bf{2}}}{{\bf{H}}_{\bf{6}}}{\bf{(g)}}\)

Balance the following reactions and write the reactions using cell notation. Ignore any inert electrodes, as they are never part of the half-reactions.

(a) \({\rm{Al}}(s) + {\rm{Z}}{{\rm{r}}^{4 + }}(aq) \to {\rm{A}}{{\rm{l}}^{3 + }}(aq) + {\rm{Zr}}(s)\)

(b) \({\rm{A}}{{\rm{g}}^ + }(aq) + {\rm{NO}}(g) \to {\rm{Ag}}(s) + {\rm{N}}{{\rm{O}}_3}^ - (aq)\)(acidic solution)

(c) \({\rm{Si}}{{\rm{O}}_3}^{2 - }(aq) + {\rm{Mg}}(s) \to {\rm{Si}}(s) + {\rm{Mg}}{({\rm{OH}})_2}(s)\)(basic solution)

(d) \({\rm{Cl}}{{\rm{O}}_3}^ - (aq) + {\rm{Mn}}{{\rm{O}}_2}(s) \to {\rm{C}}{{\rm{l}}^ - }(aq) + {\rm{Mn}}{{\rm{O}}_4}^ - (aq)\)(basic solution
