Answer: 88.2 g
Solution:
1) Chemical equation:
<span>2Al (s) + 3Fe(NO3)2 (aq) → 3Fe (s) + 2Al(NO3)3 (aq)
2) Theoretical molar ratios
2 mol Al : 3 mol Fe(NO3)2 : 3 mol Fe : 2 mol Al(NO3)3
3) Starting mass of pure iron nitrate
% = (mass of iron nitrate / mass of solution) * 100 = 87.5
=> mass of iron nitrate = 87.5 * mass of solution / 100
mass of solution = 325 g
=> mass of iron nitrate = 87.5 * 325 g / 100 = 284.375 g
4) moles of iron nitrate
moles = mass in grams / molar mass
molar mass of Fe(NO3)2 = 179.85 g/mol
moles = 284.375 g/ 179.85 g/mol = 1.58 moles Fe(NO3)2
5) proportion:
x 3 mol Fe
--------------------------- = ----------------------
1.58 mol Fe(NO3)2 3 mol Fe(NO3)2
Clear x:
x = 1.58 mol Fe
6) Convert 1.58 mol Fe into grams
mass = number of moles * atomic mass
atomic mass of iron = 55.845 g / mol
mass = 1.58 moles * 55.845 g/mol = 88.24 g
Rounded to 3 significant figures: 88.2 grams of Fe.

Answer:
1. d. The reaction is spontaneous in the reverse direction at all temperatures.
2. c. The reaction is spontaneous at low temperatures.
Explanation:
The spontaneity of a reaction is associated with the Gibbs free energy (ΔG). When ΔG < 0, the reaction is spontaneous. When ΔG > 0, the reaction is non-spontaneous. ΔG is related to the enthalpy (ΔH) and the entropy (ΔS) through the following expression:
ΔG = ΔH - T. ΔS [1]
where,
T is the absolute temperature (T is always positive)
<em>1. What can be said about an Endothermic reaction with a negative entropy change?</em>
If the reaction is endothermic, ΔH > 0. Let's consider ΔS < 0. According to eq. [1], ΔG is always positive. The reaction is not spontaneous in the forward direction at any temperature. This means that the reaction is spontaneous in the reverse direction at all temperatures.
<em>2. What can be said about an Exothermic reaction with a negative entropy change?</em>
If the reaction is exothermic, ΔH < 0. Let's consider ΔS < 0. According to eq. [1], ΔG will be negative when |ΔH| > |T.ΔS|, that is, at low temperatures.
Answer:
NH3
Explanation:
NH3 molecules make strong intermolecular H bondings and also because of the increase in the size of atomic radius.
