Problem II
There is a piece of 10 mm thick a-iron plate. This plate initially
has hydrogen uniformly distributed inside with an initial
concentration Co. Assume that there is no hydrogen in the air. The
plate is left in the air and the hydrogen concentration varies with
the time as follows:

where / is the thickness of the plate. If we would like to remove
95% of the hydrogen from the plate, how long will it take when the
plate is at 25 °C?
The pre-exponential and activation energy for hydrogen in a-iron
are 0.1 mm/s and 13,400 J/mol, respectively.
In an engine test the dry volumetric analysis of the products was CO2 0.0527, O2 0.1338 and N2
0.8135. Assume the fuel is a pure hydrocarbon and that it is completely burnt.
(a) Write the complete balance chemical equation on volume basis.
Estimate:
(b) The ratio of carbon to hydrogen in the fuel by mass.
(c) The air/fuel ratio by mass.
Assume the percentage of nitrogen in air is: 76.7% by mass and 79% by volume (or mole).
NOTE: Do not solve this problem in tabulated form, otherwise your answer will be considered
totally wrong.
End
A temperature rise of 3.10 ± 0.20 °C was measured when a reaction was carried out in a calorimeter with a heat capacity of 0.841 ± 0.014 kJ °C -1 .The enthalpy change (Δ H ) was worked out as -2.61 kJ by using the equation:Enthalpy change (Δ H ) = heat capacity ( c ) × temperature change ( T )What is the root-squared error (in kJ) for Δ H ?Quote your answer to two decimal places.When you submit your answer, do NOT include units.(The minus sign in front of the enthalpy change indicates that the reaction is exothermic; don't include it in your calculation.)
