Answer:

- 169.42 kJ.

Explanation:

  • We have the enthalpy of reaction for the decomposition of ammonium nitrate, NH₄NO₃, is - 77.4 kJ/mol.
  • We need to calculate the no. of moles of NH₄NO₃ that will produce 78.8 g of H₂O.
  • Firstly, we need to calculate the no. of moles of 78.8 g of H₂O produced using the relation:

<em>n = mass/molar mass.</em>

∴ n of H₂O = mass/molar mass = (78.8 g)/(18.0 g/mol) = 4.377 mol.

  • From the balanced equation of the decomposition of NH₄NO₃:

<em>NH₄NO₃ → N₂O + 2H₂O,</em>

<em>It is clear that every 1.0 mole of NH₄NO₃ decomposes to 1.0 mole of N₂O and 2.0 moles of H₂O.</em>

<em><u>Using cross multiplication:</u></em>

1.0 mole of NH₄NO₃ decomposes into → 2.0 moles of H₂O.

??? mole of NH₄NO₃ decomposes into → 4.377 moles of H₂O.

∴ The no. of moles of NH₄NO₃ that will produce 78.8 g of H₂O = (1.0 mol)(4.377 mol)/(2.0 mol) = 2.188 mol.

  • To get the heat evolved when 2.188 mol of NH₄NO₃ decomposed:

<em>1.0 mole of NH₄NO₃ gives → - 77.4 kJ/mol.</em>

∴ The heat evolved when 78.8 g of water is formed from this reaction = (no. of moles of NH₄NO₃)(heat evolved from decomposition of 1.0 mole of NH₄NO₃) = (2.188 mol)(- 77.4 kJ/mol) = - 169.42 kJ.

Which statememt describes gravity? Select three options
Fofino [41]

Gravity is a force which tries to pull two objects toward each other. Anything which has mass also has a gravitational pull. The more massive an object is, the stronger its gravitational pull is. Earth's gravity is what keeps you on the ground and what causes objects to fall.

Why is current more dangerous than voltage?
Serga [27]
The higher the current, the more likely it is lethal. Since current is proportional to voltage when resistance is fixed (ohm's law), high voltage is an indirect risk for producing higher currents.

Use the activity series below to predict the products of each of the following reactions. Do not worry about
myrzilka [38]

Answer:

i) CCl₄ and Br₂ does not react

ii) CBr₄ + Cl₂ → CCl₄ + Br₂

Explanation:

i) CCl₄ + Br₂ (no reaction)

From the given activity series, we have that chlorine gas, Cl₂, is more reactive than bromine gas, Br₂, therefore, a reaction of CCl₄ + Br₂ will not have a reaction as the propensity for the chlorine to stay combined with the carbon is higher than the ability for bromine to remain combined with or attract the carbon. Therefore, for CCl₄ + Br₂ there is no reaction

ii) CBr₄ + Cl₂

From the given activity series, we have that chlorine gas, Cl₂, is more reactive than bromine gas, Br₂, therefore, a reaction of CBr₄ + Cl₂ will give products that will have the Br in the CBr₄ replaced by the Cl₂ as follows;

CBr₄ + Cl₂ → CCl₄ + Br₂

The products of the reaction of CBr₄ and Cl₂ are therefore CBr₄ and Cl₂.

Which of the following can be described as genetic material that describes the cell?
skelet666 [1.2K]
The best answer to this question is DNA. DNA holds the genetic makeup of the body in each individual cell. RNA is part of DNA. The nucleus holds the DNA. Ribosomes turn RNA into protein. That is why the answer cannot be RNA, ribosomes, or the nucleus.
