Full Question:

Although it is not really a chemical reaction, one could consider a cooling process to be analogous to the enthalpy change that occurs in a reaction. Consider the transformation

Fe (s, T = 300 K) → Fe (s, T = 250 K)

If the specific heat of iron is 0.449 J/g·K, what is the enthalpy change of this process for 100 g of Fe (s)? Is the process endothermic or exothermic? Explain.

Answer:

ΔH = - 2245J

Explanation:

Specific heat capacity, Cp = 0.449 J/g·K

ΔH=MCpΔT

ΔT = 250K - 300K = - 50K

ΔH = 100 * 0.449 * (-50)

ΔH = - 2245J

The iron will lose (give off) heat energy to cool down. Hence, it is an exothermic process. The negative sign of the enthalpy confirms this.

What is the molarity of a solution containing 55.8 g of mgcl2 dissolved in 1.00 l of solution?
MakcuM [25]
The answer is 0.59 M.

Molar mass (Mr) of MgCl₂ is the sum of the molar masses of its elements.
So, from the periodic table:
Mr(Mg) = 24.3 g/l
Mr(Cl) = 35.45 g/l
Mr(MgCl₂) = Mr(Mg) + 2Mr(Cl) = 24.3 + 2 · 35.45 = 24.3 + 70.9 = 95.2 g/l

So, 1 mol has 95.2 g/l.

Our solution contains 55.8g in 1 l  of solution, which is 55.8 g/l

Now, we need to make a proportion:
1 mole has 95.2 g/l, how much moles will have 55.8 g/l:
1 M : 95.2 g/l = x : 55.8 g/l
x = 1 M · 55.8 g/l ÷ 95.2 g/l ≈ 0.59 M

Answer is: 2) 117g.
2Na + Cl₂ → 2NaCl
Step 1: calculate amount of substance of sodium and chlorine.
n(Na) = m(Na)÷M(Na) = 46g ÷ 23 g/mol = 2 mol.
n(Cl₂) = m(Cl₂)÷M(Cl₂) = 71g ÷ 71 g/mol = 1 mol.
Step 2: calculate amount of substance and mass of sodium-chloride.
Because both sodium and chlorine react completely, we can use both n to compare with n of NaCl.
n(Na) : n(NaCl) = 2:2, 2 mol : n(NaCl) = 2:2
n(NaCl) = 2mol, m(NaCl) = 2mol ·5805 g/mol = 117 g.
