Why does common table salt have a high melting point

1 answer:

5 0

Sodium chloride has a high melting and boiling point. There are strong electrostatic attractions between the positive and negative ions, and it takes a lot of heat energy to overcome them. Ionic substances all have high melting and boiling points

A 25.0 g piece of aluminum (which has a molar heat capacity of 24.03 J/mol°C) is heated to 86.4°C and dropped into a calorimeter

Ira Lisetskai [31]

Answer:

m H2O = 56 g

Explanation:

Q = mCΔT

∴ The heat ceded (-) by the Aluminum part is equal to the heat received (+) by the water:

⇒ - (mCΔT)Al = (mCΔT)H2O

∴ m Al = 25.0 g

∴ Mw Al = 26.981 g/mol

⇒ n Al = (25.0g)×(mol/26.981gAl) = 0.927 mol Al

⇒ Q Al = - (0.927 mol)(24.03 J/mol°C)(26.8 - 86.4)°C

⇒ Q Al = 1327.64 J

∴ mH2O = Q Al / ( C×ΔT) = 1327.64 J / (4.18 J/g.°C)(26.8 - 21.1)°C

⇒ mH2O = 55.722 g ≅ 56 g

A 32.5 g iron rod, initially at 22.4 ∘C, is submerged into an unknown mass of water at 63.0 ∘C, in an insulated container. The f

Answer:

$m_{H_2O}=39.0g$

Explanation:

Hello,

In this case, is possible to infer that the thermal equilibrium is governed by the following relationship:

$\Delta H_{iron}=-\Delta H_{H_2O}\\m_{iron}Cp_{iron}(T_{eq}-T_{iron})=-m_{H_2O}Cp_{H_2O}(T_{eq}-T_{H_2O})$

Thus, both iron's and water's heat capacities are: 0.444 and 4.18 J/g°C respectively, so one solves for the mass of water as shown below:

$m_{H_2O}=\frac{m_{iron}Cp_{iron}(T_{eq}-T_{iron})}{-Cp_{H_2O}(T_{eq}-T_{H_2O}} \\\\m_{H_2O}=\frac{32.5g*0.444\frac{J}{g^0C}*(59.7-22.4)^0C}{-4.18\frac{J}{g^0C}*(59.7-63.0)^0C} \\\\m_{H_2O}=39.0g$
