The Difference Between an Alloy and an Amalgam

Chemistry
1 answer:
Delicious77 [7]3 years ago
6 0

Mixtures or combinations of various different metals or metallic substances form things called alloys. An alloy composed of mercury and other metal (or metals) forms "amalgam". When a true alloy is created, the component metals are combined together at a temperature which is greater than the melting point of all of them.

Also, it helps to remember the word "amalgamate", which means "to alloy (a metal) with mercury" according to Dictionary.com.


Hope this helped :)

Consider the following reaction:
iren [92.7K]

Answer:

A. ΔG° = 132.5 kJ

B. ΔG° = 13.69 kJ

C. ΔG° = -58.59 kJ

Explanation:

Let's consider the following reaction.

CaCO₃(s) → CaO(s) + CO₂(g)

We can calculate the standard enthalpy of the reaction (ΔH°) using the following expression.

ΔH° = ∑np . ΔH°f(p) - ∑nr . ΔH°f(r)

where,

n: moles

ΔH°f: standard enthalpy of formation

ΔH° = 1 mol × ΔH°f(CaO(s)) + 1 mol × ΔH°f(CO₂(g)) - 1 mol × ΔH°f(CaCO₃(s))

ΔH° = 1 mol × (-635.1 kJ/mol) + 1 mol × (-393.5 kJ/mol) - 1 mol × (-1206.9 kJ/mol)

ΔH° = 178.3 kJ

We can calculate the standard entropy of the reaction (ΔS°) using the following expression.

ΔS° = ∑np . S°p - ∑nr . S°r

where,

S: standard entropy

ΔS° = 1 mol × S°(CaO(s)) + 1 mol × S°(CO₂(g)) - 1 mol × S°(CaCO₃(s))

ΔS° = 1 mol × (39.75 J/K.mol) + 1 mol × (213.74 J/K.mol) - 1 mol × (92.9 J/K.mol)

ΔS° = 160.6 J/K. = 0.1606 kJ/K.

We can calculate the standard Gibbs free energy of the reaction (ΔG°) using the following expression.

ΔG° = ΔH° - T.ΔS°

where,

T: absolute temperature

<h3>A. 285 K</h3>

ΔG° = ΔH° - T.ΔS°

ΔG° = 178.3 kJ - 285K × 0.1606 kJ/K = 132.5 kJ

<h3>B. 1025 K</h3>

ΔG° = ΔH° - T.ΔS°

ΔG° = 178.3 kJ - 1025K × 0.1606 kJ/K = 13.69 kJ

<h3>C. 1475 K</h3>

ΔG° = ΔH° - T.ΔS°

ΔG° = 178.3 kJ - 1475K × 0.1606 kJ/K = -58.59 kJ
