16
Explanation:
The proton number is always the number in the corner of the box on a periodic table
The mass change, or the mass defect, can be calculated by the formula that is very known to be associated with Albert Einstein.
E = Δmc²
where
E is the energy gained or released during the reaction
c is the speed of light equal to 3×10⁸ m/s
Δm is the mass change
(1.715×10³ kJ)(1,000 J/1 kJ) = Δm(3×10⁸ m/s)²
Δm = 1.91×10⁻¹¹ kg
Hey There!
At neutralisation moles of H⁺ from HCl = moles of OH⁻ from Ca(OH)2 so :
0.204 * 42.8 / 1000 => 0.0087312 moles
Moles of Ca(OH)2 :
2 HCl + Ca(OH)2 = CaCl2 + 2 H2O
0.0087312 / 2 => 0.0043656 moles ( since each Ca(OH)2 ives 2 OH⁻ ions )
Therefore:
Molar mass Ca(OH)2 = 74.1 g/mol
mass = moles of Ca(OH)2 * molar mass
mass = 0.0043656 * 74.1
mass = 0.32 g of Ca(OH)2
Hope that helps!
