A 0.250 gram chunk of sodium metal is cautiously dropped into a mixture of 50.0 grams of water and 50.0 grams of ice, both at 0

degress celsius. The reaction is:2Na(s)+2H2O(l) yields 2NaOH(aq)+H2(g) Change in H is -368 KJWill the ice melt?
Assuming the final mixture has a specific heat capacity of 4.18 J/g*degrees celsius, calculate the final temperature. The enthalpy of fusion for ice is 6.02 KJ/mol.

Answer:

The ice will not melt, and the temperature will remain at 0°C.

Explanation:

The reaction of the sodium in water is exothermic because heat is being released. In an isolated system, the change in heat must be 0, so the released heat must be absorbed by the ice.

The molar mass of Na is 23 g/mol, so the number of moles that reacted was:

n = 0.250 g/ 23g/mol

n = 0.011 mol

By the reaction:

2 moles ------- -368 kJ

0.011 mol ----- x

By a simple direct three rule:

2x = -4.048

x = -2.024 kJ/mol

So the ice will absorbs 2.024 kJ/mol, which is less than the necessary to melt it (6.02 kJ/mol). Then, the ice will not melt.

The temperature of a pure substance didn't change until all of it has changed of phase, so the temperature must remain at 0°C.

A balloon contains 0.15 moles of co2 gas. how many molecules of co2 are in the balloon?
Sauron [17]
1- One mole is = 6.02 x 10^23 of anything, So one mole of atoms is 6.02x10^23.

2- when the balloon contains 0.15 moles of Co2 gas so:

the no.of molecules of Co2 = 0.15 x 6.02x 10^23

                                              = 9.0 x 10^22

Why are group 1a (1) and group 2a (2) elements found in many compounds, but not group 8a (18) elements?
Rashid [163]
Because group 1a and 2a are most reactive due to their least number of electrons in their outmost shell compared to group 8a(18)
