How much heat does it take to melt 5.0g solid copper?

Chemistry
1 answer:
Leya [2.2K]3 years ago
5 0

Answer:

Q=1.04kJ

Explanation:

Hello,

In this case, for latent heat (phase change) we need to consider the enthalpy associated with the involved process, here, melting or fusion; thus, the enthalpy of fusion of copper is 13.2 kJ/mol, therefore, the heat is computed as:

Q=m\Delta H_{fus}

Nevertheless, since the given enthalpy is per mole of copper, we need to use its atomic mass to perform the correct calculation as follows:

Q=5.0g*\frac{1mol}{63.54}* 13.2\frac{kJ}{mol}\\ \\Q=1.04kJ

Which is positive as it needs to be supplied to the system.

Best regards.

Sodium carbonate (Na2CO3) is used to neutralize the sulfuric acid spill. How many kilograms of sodium carbonate must be added to
valina [46]

5.451 X 10³ kg of sodium carbonate must be added to neutralize 5.04×103 kg of sulfuric acid solution.

<u>Explanation</u>:

  • Sodium carbonate is used to neutralized sulfuric acid, H₂SO₄. Sodium carbonate is the salt of a strong base (NaOH) and weak acid (H₂CO₃). The balanced chemical reaction for neutralization is as follows:

                        Na₂CO₃ + H₂SO₄ ----> Na₂SO₄ + H₂CO₃

  • From a balanced chemical equation, it is clear that one mole of Na₂CO₃ is required to neutralize one mole of  H₂SO₄.
  • Molar mass of Na₂CO₃= 106 g/mol = 0.106 kg/mol and                                Molar mass of H₂SO₄= 98 g/mol = 0.098 kg/mol.
  • To neutralize 0.098 kg of H₂SO₄ amount of Na₂CO₃ required is 0.106 kg, so, To neutralize 5.04×10³ kg of H₂SO₄, Na₂CO₃ required is =  5.451 X 10³ kg.
