A thermochemical reaction is a chemical reaction with an additional information of the heat of reaction. For example, this is the thermochemical reaction for the combustion of hydrogen gas:

H₂ (g) + 1/2 O₂ (g) → H₂O (l)         ΔH = -285.8 kJ

The coefficient 1/2 represents the number of moles of O₂ needed to combust 1 mole of H₂ gas in order to yield one mole of water.

As NH4Cl dissolves in water, and cools the solution,
azamat

Answer:

d. delta H is positive, and delta S is positive

Explanation:

The process of dissolution of NH4Cl is:

NH4Cl(s) → NH4+(aq) + Cl-(aq)

As the solution is cooled, the process is absorbing energy, that means ΔH > 0. (ΔH < 0 when the heat is released).

As there are produced 2 ions from 1 solid molecule, the disorder is increasing and ΔS > 0

The right answer is:

<h3>d. delta H is positive, and delta S is positive</h3>

How many grams of hcl can be produced from the reaction of 23 moles of h2 and 875g of cl2?
max2010maxim [7]

Answer: 899 g

Explanation:

Since the mass of a mole of diatomic chlorine is about 70.9 g/mol, this means that 875 grams is about 875/70.9 = 12.3 mol.

Hence, we know that chlorine is the limiting reactant, and that about 12.3 moles of chlorine will be consumed.

This means that 12.3(2)=24.6 grams of HCl will be produced, which will have a mass of about (24.6)(36.46)=899 g

Why is it not correct/precise to say "a molecule of salt?"
Fynjy0 [20]

It is not correct to say " a molecule of salt " because salt is a compound.

Explanation:

  • As we know a molecular bond is present in each molecule.
  • Salt (NaCl) is considered as a compound because it is made up of two types of elements that are sodium as well as chlorine.
  • On the other hand it is not considered as a molecule as it is not holding an ionic bond.
  • As a result we can name it as an ionic compound. Hence it is not considered as a molecule of salt.
