Interpretation: The translation of calorimetry experiment into calories needs to be explained.
Concept Introduction: Calorimetry is the technique in which the amount of heat discharge or absorbed by a chemical or physical change to be measured. It decides the reaction is exothermic or endothermic, by observing the variation in heat. It is used to quantify the reaction heat and it is an important part of

Answer to Problem 1TAI
The number of calories of energy transferred is dependent on the mass of the substances and the temperature change.
Explanation of Solution
Different fuels transfer different amounts of energy during a combustion reaction. Temperature change, fuel mass, and volume of water may be converted into calories from a calorimetry process. Using the specific heat capacity of the substance that was heated by the reaction allows calculating the exact number of calories transferred by the combustion of the fuel.
The number of calories transferred from a substance that burns depends on the identity of the substance and its mass.

Why is there the difference in separation time for SFC versus HPLC? Hint, use the Van Deemter plot as a guide in answering this question. Why, fundamentally, would you expect a faster separation for SFC than HPLC, in general?arrow_forwardA certain inorganic cation has an electrophoretic mobility of 5.27 x 10-4 cm2s-1V-1. The same ion has a diffusion coefficient of 9.5 x 10-6cm2s-1. If this ion is separated from cations by CZE with a 75cm capillary, what is the expected plate count, N, at an applied voltage of 15.0kV? Under these separation conditions, the electroosmotic flow rate was 0.85mm s-1 toward the cathode. If the detector was 50.0cm from the injection end of the capillary, how long would it take in minutes for the analyte cation to reach the detector after the field was applied?arrow_forward
- 2.arrow_forwardPlease solve for the following Electrochemistry that occursarrow_forwardCommercial bleach contains either chlorine or oxygen as an active ingredient. A commercial oxygenated bleach is much safer to handle and less likely to ruin your clothes. It is possible to determine the amount of active ingredient in an oxygenated bleach product by performing a redox titration. The balance reaction for such a titration is: 6H+ +5H2O2 +2MnO4- à 5O2 + 2Mn2+ + 8H2O If you performed the following procedure: “First, dilute the Seventh Generation Non-Chlorine Bleach by pipetting 10 mL of bleach in a 100 mL volumetric flask and filling the flask to the mark with distilled water. Next, pipet 10 mL of the diluted bleach solution into a 250 mL Erlenmeyer flask and add 20 mL of 1.0 M H2SO4 to the flask. This solution should be titrated with 0.0100 M KMnO4 solution.” It took 18.47mL of the KMnO4 to reach the endpoint on average. What was the concentration of H2O2 in the original bleach solution in weight % assuming the density of bleach is 1g/mL?arrow_forward
