Many of the atomic masses listed on the periodic table are decimal values because it's the weighted average mass of all of the isotopes of that element.

A calorimeter contains 251 g of water at 24.3 C.The temperature of the water decreases to 18.5 C when 12.5 g of potassium nitrat
vova2212 [387]

Answer:

Endothermic  

Explanation:

The temperature of the water decreased.

The water lost heat.

The heat must have gone into getting the KNO₃ into solution.

So, the dissolving of KNO₃ in water is endothermic.

The standard emf for the cell using the overall cell reaction below is +2.20 V:
ANEK [815]

Answer:

emf generated by cell is 2.32 V

Explanation:

Oxidation: 2Al-6e^{-}\rightarrow 2Al^{3+}

Reduction: 3I_{2}+6e^{-}\rightarrow 6I^{-}

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Overall: 2Al+3I_{2}\rightarrow 2Al^{3+}+6I^{-}

Nernst equation for this cell reaction at 25^{0}\textrm{C}-

E_{cell}=E_{cell}^{0}-\frac{0.059}{n}log{[Al^{3+}]^{2}[I^{-}]^{6}}

where n is number of electrons exchanged during cell reaction, E_{cell}^{0} is standard cell emf , E_{cell} is cell emf , [Al^{3+}] is concentration of Al^{3+} and [Cl^{-}] is concentration of Cl^{-}

Plug in all the given values in the above equation -

E_{cell}=2.20-\frac{0.059}{6}log[(4.5\times 10^{-3})^{2}\times (0.15)^{6}]V

So, E_{cell}=2.32V
