Describe what happens to salt when it dissolves in water.

5 0

When you put salt in water, the positive ions gravitate toward the negative sides of the water molecules while the negative ions move towards the other sides. In this way, each water molecule disrupts the lattice structure, and the result is a solution of free ions suspended in water. As more salt is dissolved, sodium and chlorine ions bump into each other and re-combine into crystals of salt.

Calculate the standard enthalpy change for the reaction at 25 ∘C. Standard enthalpy of formation values can be found in this lis

weqwewe [10]

Answer:

$\Delta H_{rxn}=-2043.999kJ$

Explanation:

$\Delta H_{rxn}^{0}=\sum [n_{i}\times \Delta H_{f}^{0}(product)_{i}]-\sum [n_{j}\times \Delta H_{f}^{0}(reactant_{j})]$

Where $n_{i}$ and $n_{j}$ are number of moles of product and reactant respectively (equal to their stoichiometric coefficient).

$\Delta H_{f}^{0}$ is standard heat of formation and $\Delta H_{rxn}^{0}$ is standard enthalpy change for reaction at $25^{0}\textrm{C}$

So, $\Delta H_{rxn}=[3mol\times \Delta H_{f}^{0}(CO_{2})_{g}]+[4mol\times \Delta H_{f}^{0}(H_{2}O)_{g}]-[1mol\times \Delta H_{f}^{0}(C_{3}H_{8})_{g}]-[5mol\times \Delta H_{f}^{0}(O_{2})_{g}]$

or, $\Delta H_{rxn}=[3mol\times -393.509kJ/mol]+[4mol\times -241.818kJ/mol]-[1mol\times -103.8kJ/mol]-[5mol\times 0kJ/mol]$

or, $\Delta H_{rxn}=-2043.999kJ$

In an atom the number of electron is what as the number of protons???

nydimaria [60]

The number of protons in the nucleus of the atom is equal to the atomic number (Z). The number of electrons in a neutral atom is equal to the number of protons.
