Answer:

2Al_(_S_) ~+~3NH_4NO_3_(_a_q_) ->3N_2_(_g_) ~+~6H_2O_(_g_) ~+~Al_2O_3_(_S_)

Entalpy=-2861.9~KJ

Explanation:

In this case, we have to start with the <u>reagents</u>:

Al~+~NH_4NO_3

The compounds given by the problem are:

-) <u>Nitrogen gas</u> =  N_2

-) <u>Water vapor</u>  =  H_2O

-) <u>Aluminum oxide</u> =  Al_2O_3

Now, we can put the products in the <u>reaction</u>:

Al_(_S_) ~+~NH_4NO_3_(_aq_) ->N_2_(_g_) ~+~H_2O_(_g_) ~+~Al_2O_3_(_S_)

When we <u>balance</u> the reaction we will obtain:

2Al_(_S_) ~+~3NH_4NO_3_(_a_q_) ->3N_2_(_g_) ~+~6H_2O_(_g_) ~+~Al_2O_3_(_S_)

Now, for the enthalpy change, we have to find the <u>standard enthalpy values</u>:

Al_(_S_)=0~KJ/mol

NH_4NO_3_(_a_q_)=-132.0~KJ/mol

N_2_(_g_)=0~KJ/mol

H_2O_(_g_)=~-~241.8~KJ/mol

Al_2O_3_(_S_)=~-~1675.7~KJ/mol

With this in mind, if we <u>multiply</u> the number of moles (in the balanced reaction) by the standard enthalpy value,  we can calculate the energy of the <u>reagents</u>:

(0*2)~+~(-132*3)=~-396~KJ

And the <u>products</u>:

(0*3)~+~(-241.8*6)~+~(-1675.7*1)=-3125.9~KJ

Finally, for the total enthalpy we have to <u>subtract</u> products by reagents :

(-3125.9~KJ)-(-396~KJ)=-2729.9~KJ

I hope it helps!

Describe examples of failed experiments that produced valuable information
Nataliya [291]
Hello Norgepr, examples of failed experiments that produced valuable information can be the mage via BoingBoing There have been ample stories of human children being raised by other species and eventually becoming more like that animal than an actual human. If the process could go one way, Winthrop Kellogg was sure that it could also go the other, particularly if the animal involved was one of our closest genetic cousins. In 1931, Kellogg received a grant for his experiment and the timing couldn’t be better –his wife just had a baby boy, David. This would give them the unique opportunity to raise a baby chimp, named Gua, right along side a human baby. It didn’t take long for the babes to bond and become best friends. Kellogg and his wife took impeccable notes on their two “children” noting their physical changes, emotions and how they scored on small intelligence tests. The chimp scored notably higher on the intelligence tests due the fact that the species matures faster than human babies. Gua picked up quite a few human behaviors, such as walking upright and eating with a spoon, but she failed to learn how to speak and learn simple repetition games, like patty cake. Her emotions were also much less predictable and inclined to change at the drop of a hat. Unfortunately, the experiment really started to go wrong when little David started to become more chimplike than Gua became humanlike. He only learned a few simple words and often took to making chimp howls when he wanted something. After only nine months, the Kelloggs gave up on Gua, concerned that David would fail to grow up like a normal human child. In the years since this project, plenty of people have adopted chimps as babies, proving beyond a doubt that the animals can never act completely human –even if they are adorable in overalls.
