How does magnesium and nitric acid react? (Observations)

1 answer:

ankoles [38]3 years ago

It depends on the strength of the nitric acid. With dilute acid magnesium nitrate and hydrogen gas is formed. The gas reacts violently with a naked flame.

With concentrated nitric acid a violent reaction occurs and lots of reddish brown fumes of nitrogen oxides (NO and NO2) are produced.

Sodium hydroxide reacts with aluminum and water to produce hydrogen gas: 2 Al(s) + 2 NaOH(aq) + 6 H2O(l) → 2 NaAl(OH)4(aq) + 3 H

lianna [129]

Answer:

The mass of hydrogen gas formed is 0.205 grams

Explanation:

<u>Step 1:</u> Data given

Mass of 1.83 grams of Al

Mass of NaOH = 4.30 grams

Molar mass of Al = 26.98 g/mol

Molar mass of NaOH = 40 g/mol

<u>Step 2:</u> The balanced equation:

2 Al(s) + 2 NaOH(aq) + 6 H2O(l) → 2 NaAl(OH)4(aq) + 3 H2(g)

<u>Step 3:</u> Calculate moles of Al

Moles Al = mass Al / Molar mass Al

Moles Al = 1.83 grams / 26.98 g/mol

Moles Al = 0.0678 moles

<u>Step 4:</u> Calculate moles of NaOH

Moles NaOH = 4.30 grams / 40 g/mol

Moles NaOH = 0.1075 moles

<u>Step 5</u>: Calculate limiting reactant

For 2 moles of Al, we need 2 moles of NaOH

Aluminium is the limiting reactant. It will completely be consumed ( 0.0678 moles)

NaOH is in excess. There will react 0.0678 moles

There will remain 0.1075 - 0.0678 = 0.0397 moles

<u>Step 6</u>: Calculate moles of hydrogen

For 2 moles of Al, we need 2 moles of NaOH, to produce 3 moles of hydrogen

For 0.0678 moles of Al, there is produced 0.0678 *3/2 = 0.1017 moles of H2

<u>Step 7</u>: Calculate mass of H2

Mass of H2 = Moles H2 * Molar mass of H2

Mass of H2 = 0.1017 moles * 2.02 g/mol

Mass of H2 = 0.205 grams

The mass of hydrogen gas formed is 0.205 grams

What is the expected value for the heat of sublimation of acetic acid if its heat of fusion is 10.8 kJ/mol and its heat of vapor

Dennis_Churaev [7]

Answer:

35.1 kJ/mol is the expected value for the heat of sublimation of acetic acid.

Explanation:

$CH_3COOH(l)\rightarrow CH_3COOH(g)$ ..[1]

Heat of vaporization of acetic acid = $H^o_{vap}=24.3 kJ/mol$

$CH_3COOH(s)\rightarrow CH_3COOH(l)$ ..[2]

Heat of fusion of acetic acid = $H^o_{fus}=10.8 kJ/mol$

Heat of sublimation of acetic acid = $H^o_{sub}=?$

$CH_3COOH(s)\rightarrow CH_3COOH(g)$ ..[3]

[1] + [2] = [3] (Hess's law)

$H^o_{sub}=H^o_{vap}+H^o_{fus}$

$=24.3 kJ/mol+10.8 kJ/mol=35.1 kJ/mol$

35.1 kJ/mol is the expected value for the heat of sublimation of acetic acid.
