Total mass = x

It would be: x*32.38/100 = 32

x = 3200/32.38 = 97.56

Atomic mass of (OH)2 = 34

So, remaining mass = 97.56-34 = 63.56

which is approximately equal to mass of copper

So, we can say m is copper here, and formula of the compound would be Cu(OH)2

Shalnov [3]

Explanation:

SOLID

Sodium hydroxide exists in the solid phase at room temperature. You would find it in the lab as hemispherical white solid pellets. The phase of a substance depends on temperature and pressure. As you heat a solid, it will melt and change to the liquid phase.

Ierofanga [76]

Answer:

$\Delta G^o=-5.4032 kJ$

The temperature for $\Delta G^o=0[/tex is [tex]T=328.6 K$

Explanation:

The three thermodinamic properties (enthalpy, entropy and Gibbs's energy) are linked in the following formula:

$\Delta G^o=\Delta H^o + T*\Delta S^o$

Where:

$\Delta G^o$ is Gibbs's energy in kJ

$\Delta H^o$ is the enthalpy in kJ

$\Delta S^o$ is the entropy in kJ/K

$T$ is the temperature in K

Solving:

$\Delta G^o=-58.03 kJ - 298K*-0.1766 kJ/K$

$\Delta G^o=-5.4032 kJ$

For $\Delta G^o=0$ :

$0=\Delta H^o - T*\Delta S^o$

$\Delta H^o= T*\Delta S^o$

$T=\frac{\Delta H^o}{\Delta S^o}$

$T=\frac{-58.03 kJ}{-0.1766 kJ/K}$

$T=328.6 K$
