<u>Given:</u>

Mass of Ag = 1.67 g

Mass of Cl = 2.21 g

Heat evolved = 1.96 kJ

<u>To determine:</u>

The enthalpy of formation of AgCl(s)

<u>Explanation:</u>

The reaction is:

2Ag(s) + Cl2(g) → 2AgCl(s)

Calculate the moles of Ag and Cl from the given masses

Atomic mass of Ag = 108 g/mol

# moles of Ag = 1.67/108 = 0.0155 moles

Atomic mass of Cl = 35 g/mol

# moles of Cl = 2.21/35 = 0.0631 moles

Since moles of Ag << moles of Cl, silver is the limiting reagent.

Based on reaction stoichiometry: # moles of AgCl formed = 0.0155 moles

Enthalpy of formation of AgCl = 1.96 kJ/0.0155 moles = 126.5 kJ/mol

Ans: Formation enthalpy = 126.5 kJ/mol

<u>Answer:</u> The enthalpy of formation of AgCl is -127.3 kJ/mol

<u>Explanation:</u>

To calculate the number of moles, we use the equation:

\text{Number of moles}=\frac{\text{Given mass}}{\text{Molar mass}}

Given mass of silver chloride = 2.21 g

Molar mass of silver chloride = 143.32 g/mol

Putting values in above equation, we get:

\text{Moles of silver chloride}=\frac{2.21g}{143.32g/mol}=0.0154mol

<u>Sign convention of heat:</u>

When heat is absorbed, the sign of heat is taken to be positive and when heat is released, the sign of heat is taken to be negative.

To calculate the enthalpy change of formation of AgCl, we use the equation:

\Delta H_f_{AgCl}=\frac{q}{n}

where,

q = amount of heat released = -1.96 kJ

n = number of moles of AgCl = 0.0154 moles

\Delta H_f_{AgCl} = enthalpy of formation of silver chloride

Putting values in above equation, we get:

\Delta H_f_{AgCl}=\frac{-1.96kJ}{0.0154mol}=127.3kJ/mol

Hence, the enthalpy of formation of AgCl is -127.3 kJ/mol

A chemist found that 4.69 g of sulfur combined with fluorine to produce 15.81 g of a gas. what is the empirical formula of the g
timofeeve [1]
Mass of sulfur combined - 4.69 g
Mass of gas produced is 15.81 g, therefore mass of fluorine is (15.81-4.69) = 11.12 g
Number of sulfur moles - 4.69 g/32 g/mol = 0.15 mol
Number of fluorine moles - 11.12 g/ 19 g/mol = 0.585 mol
divide both by least number of moles 
S - 0.15/0.15 = 1
F - 0.585/0.15 = 3.9 rounded off is 4
ratio of S to F = 1:4Therefore formula of the gas is SF₄

He equation for the dissociation of pyridine is
sergeinik [125]

Answer:

10.10

Explanation:

Step 1: Write the basic dissociation reaction for pyridine

C₅H₅N(aq) + H₂O(l) ⇌ C₅H₅NH⁺(aq) + OH⁻(aq)      Kb = 1.9 × 10⁻⁹

Step 2: Calculate [OH⁻]

For a weak base, we will use the following expression.

[OH⁻] = √(Cb × Kb) = √(9.2 × 1.9 × 10⁻⁹) = 1.3 × 10⁻⁴ M

Step 3: Calculate pOH

We will use the definition of pOH.

pOH = -log [OH⁻] = -log 1.3 × 10⁻⁴ = 3.9

Step 4: Calculate pH

We will use the following expression.

pH = 14 - pOH = 14 - 3.9 = 10.10

What does E=mc^2 mean
Brums [2.3K]

E represents units of energy, m represents units of mass, and c2 is the speed of light squared, or multiplied by itself


So I THINK that A is the right answer but i may be wrong.


I hope this helped :)
