Why is water able to dissolve salts such as sodium chloride

1 answer:

5 0

Water has positive side and negative side. This is the reason why water can dissolve salt such sodium chloride. Example when sodium chloride dissociate in water it give Na+ ions and Cl- ions. the negative side of water attack the Na+ ions while the positive side of water attract Cl- ions

The combustion of 0.590 g of benzoic acid (ΔHcomb = 3,228 kJ/mol; MW = 122.12 g/mol) in a bomb calorimeter increased the tempera

Alenkinab [10]

Answer:

2.943 °C temperature change from the combustion of the glucose has been taken place.

Explanation:

Heat released on combustion of Benzoic acid; :

Enthaply of combustion of benzoic acid = 3,228 kJ/mol

Mass of benzoic acid = 0.590 g

Moles of benzoic acid = $\frac{0.590 g}{122.12 g/mol}=0.004831 mol$

Energy released by 0.004831 moles of benzoic acid on combustion:

$Q=3,228 kJ/mol \times 0.004831 mol=15.5955 kJ=15,595.5 J$

Heat capacity of the calorimeter = C

Change in temperature of the calorimeter = ΔT = 2.125°C

$Q=C\times \Delta T$

$15,595.5 J=C\times 2.125^oC$

$C=7,339.05 J/^oC$

Heat released on combustion of Glucose: :

Enthaply of combustion of glucose= 2,780 kJ/mol.

Mass of glucose=1.400 g

Moles of glucose = $\frac{1.400 g}{180.16 g/mol}=0.007771 mol$

Energy released by the 0.007771 moles of calorimeter combustion:

$Q'=2,780 kJ/mol \times 0.007771 mol=21.6030 kJ=21,603.01 J$

Heat capacity of the calorimeter = C (calculated above)

Change in temperature of the calorimeter on combustion of glucose = ΔT'

$Q'=C\times \Delta T'$

$21,603.01 J=7,339.05 J/^oC\times \Delta T'$

$\Delta T'=2.943^oC$

2.943 °C temperature change from the combustion of the glucose has been taken place.

What volume of o2 is needed to react fully with 720. Ml of nh3

Galina-37 [17]

Ammonia undergoes combustion with oxygen to produce nitric oxide and water. The volume of the oxygen required to react with 720 ml of ammonia is 900 ml.

<h3>What is volume?</h3>

Volume is the area occupied by the substance and is the ratio of the mass to the density.

At STP, 1 mole of gas occupies 22.4 L of volume

Given,

Volume of ammonia reacted = 0.720 L

The combustion reaction is shown as,

$\rm 4NH_{3} + 5O_{2} \rightarrow 4NO +6H_{2}O$
