You have been working to develop a new fictitious compound in the lab. Determine the amount in units of moles [mol] of 20 grams
1 answer:
From the chemical formula the total mass of the compound can be determined. The mass of the 1 mole of the compound is its molar mass. The atom by which the molecule is generated, the mass of these atoms are expressed in terms of amu or atomic unit mass, but after formation of a molecule in a particular ratio the mass of each of the atom becomes the total molecular weight of the generated molecule. In this case the molecule posses three atoms X, Y and Z which are in a ratio of 2:2:7. Thus the chemical formula of the compound can be written as .
So the total mass of the compound in amu is {(2×47)+(2×42)+(7×16)} = {94+84+112}=290 amu.
Thus 1 mole of the compound contains 290 amu or 290 g by mass.
Henceforth 20 gram of the compound is equivalent to (20/290) = 0.068 mole.

<u>Answer:</u> The for the reaction is -1406.8 kJ.
<u>Explanation:</u>
Hess’s law of constant heat summation states that the amount of heat absorbed or evolved in a given chemical equation remains the same whether the process occurs in one step or several steps.
According to this law, the chemical equation is treated as ordinary algebraic expressions and can be added or subtracted to yield the required equation. This means that the enthalpy change of the overall reaction is equal to the sum of the enthalpy changes of the intermediate reactions.
The chemical reaction for the formation reaction of is:
The intermediate balanced chemical reaction are:
(1)
( × 6)
(2)
( × 3)
(3)
( × 2)
(4)
The expression for enthalpy of formation of is,
Putting values in above equation, we get:
Hence, the for the reaction is -1406.8 kJ.
