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.

A satellite and a hockey puck are alike because they illustrate Newton's first law of motion.
lutik1710 [3]

Answer:

It would be True

Explanation:

Because they both have the same push of gravity. Gravity affects all objects equally. If you drop an egg and a watermelon at the same time they would both collide with the floor at the same time.

What causes some aqueous solutions to have a low PH?
noname [10]
<span> Low pH means the solution is acidic; if the solution is acidic, that means that there are hydronium ions in solution (H3O+). For example, hydrochloric acid dissolves into H+ ions and Cl- ions, and the H+ ions rreact with water like this:
H+ + H2O --> H3O+

If you want to get mathematical, pH is defined as the negative log of the concentration of hydronium ions.
Thus, if there are a lot of hydronium ions, the solution will have a low, or acidic, pH.  Hope this helps^-^</span>

tekilochka [14]

The given question is incomplete. The complete question is :

In each row check off the boxes that apply to the underlined reactant. The underlined reactant acts as a... (check all that apply)

1. HCH_3CO_2(aq)+NH_3(aq)\rightarrow CH_3COO^-(aq)+NH_4^+(aq)

here underlined is HCH_3CO_2

A. Brønsted-Lowry acid

B. Brønsted-Lowry base

C. Lewis acid

D. Lewis base

2. BH_3(aq)+NH_3(aq)\rightarrow BH_3NH_3(aq)

Here underlined is NH_3

A. Brønsted-Lowry acid

B. Brønsted-Lowry base

C. Lewis acid

D. Lewis base

3. HNO_2(aq)+C_2H_5NH_2(aq)\rightarrow NO_2^-(aq) + C_2H_5NH_3^+(aq)

Here underlined is C_2H_5NH_2

A. Brønsted-Lowry acid

B. Brønsted-Lowry base

C. Lewis acid

D. Lewis base

Answer: 1. Brønsted-Lowry acid

2. Lewis base

3. Brønsted-Lowry base

Explanation:

According to the Bronsted Lowry conjugate acid-base theory, an acid is defined as a substance which donates protons and a base is defined as a substance which accepts protons.

According to the Lewis concept, an acid is defined as a substance that accepts electron pairs and base is defined as a substance which donates electron pairs.

1.  HCH_3CO_2(aq)+NH_3(aq)\rightarrow CH_3CO^{2-}(aq)+NH_4^+aq)

As HCH_3CO_2(aq) is donating a proton , it acts as a bronsted acid.

2. BH_3(aq)+NH_3(aq)\rightarrow BH_3NH_3(aq)

As NH_3 contains a lone pair of electron on nitrogen , it can easily donate electrons to BH_3 and act as lewi base.

3.  HNO_2(aq)+C_2H_5NH_2(aq)\rightarrow NO_2^-(aq) + C_2H_5NH_3^+(aq)

As C_2H_5NH_2(aq) is accepting a proton , it acts as a bronsted base.

This should not matter because the pipet has gradations and usually more of the sample is taken up in the pipette than what is delivered into the flask the student should always rinse the container being used because they are contaminating the sample if they do not clean it out
