When pellets of NaOH(s) are added to a flask of water, it is observed that the temperature of the water increases as the pellets

dissolve. Which of the following claims about the observed dissolution of NaOH(s) in water is most accurate?
A. It is an endothermic process because heat energy is absorbed by the water as the NaOH(s) dissolves in it.

B. It is an endothermic process because heat energy is released by the water as the NaOH(s) dissolves in it.

C. It is an exothermic process because heat energy is absorbed by the water as the NaOH(s) dissolves in it.

D. It is an exothermic process because heat energy is released by the water as the NaOH(s)) dissolves in it.

Answer: It is an exothermic process because heat energy is absorbed by the water as the NaOH(s) dissolves in it.

Explanation:

Endothermic reaction : It is a type of chemical reaction where the energy is absorbed from the surrounding. In the endothermic reaction, the reactant are less than the energy of product. In endothermic reaction, the change in enthalpy is, positive

Exothermic reaction : It is a type of chemical reaction where the energy is released into the surrounding. In the exothermic reaction, the energy of reactant are more than the energy of product. In exothermic reaction, the change in enthalpy is, negative.

Thus as energy is absorbed by water, which has been released by NaOH, the process is exothermic.

Calculate the mass defect for the formation of phosphorus-31. The mass of a phosphorus-31 nucleus is 30.973765 amu. The masses o
Nata [24]

<u>Answer:</u> The mass defect for the formation of phosphorus-31 is 0.27399

<u>Explanation:</u>

Mass defect is defined as the difference in the mass of an isotope and its mass number.

The equation used to calculate mass defect follows:

\Delta m=[(n_p\times m_p)+(n_n\times m_n)]-M

where,

n_p = number of protons

m_p = mass of one proton

n_n = number of neutrons

m_n = mass of one neutron

M = mass number of element

We are given:

An isotope of phosphorus which is _{15}^{31}\textrm{P}

Number of protons = atomic number = 15

Number of neutrons = Mass number - atomic number = 31 - 15 = 16

Mass of proton = 1.00728 amu

Mass of neutron = 1.00866 amu

Mass number of phosphorus = 30.973765 amu

Putting values in above equation, we get:

\Delta m=[(15\times 1.00728)+(16\times 1.00866)]-30.973765\\\\\Delta m=0.27399

Hence, the mass defect for the formation of phosphorus-31 is 0.27399

Consider the following gas phase reaction:
snow_tiger [21]

Answer:

2NO(g) + O2(g) --> 2NO2(g)

now 400 ml of NO × 2 mol of NO2/2 mol of NO

= 400 ml of NO2

now 500 ml of O2 × 2 mol of NO2/1 mol of O2

= 1000 ml of NO2

now 400 ml of NO2 × 1 mol of O2/2 mol of NO

= 200 ml

subtract that from 500 ml of total i.e. 500-200 =300 ml

The total volume of the reaction mixture is 1000 ml -300ml = 700 ml

What reaction might we use to synthesize nickel sulfate,niso4? Write equations for acid base neutralization. Include states in y
il63 [147K]

Answer:

Here's what I get  

Explanation:

1. Nickel sulfate

base + acid ⟶ salt + water

NiSO₄ is a salt of the base Ni(OH)₂ and the acid sulfuric acid.

Hydroxides of transition metals are insoluble; most sulfates are soluble.

\underbrace{\hbox{Ni(OH)$_{2}$(s)}}_{\hbox{base}} + \underbrace{\hbox{H$_{2}$SO$_{4}$(aq)}}_{\hbox{acid}} \longrightarrow \, \underbrace{\hbox{NiSO$_{4}$(aq)}}_{\hbox{salt}} + \underbrace{\hbox{2H$_{2}$O(l)}}_{\hbox{water}}

2. Carbonate + acid

Most carbonates are insoluble.

They react with acids to form carbonic acid (H₂CO₃), which decomposes into water and carbon dioxide.

\rm NiCO_{3}(s) + H_{2}SO_{4}(aq) \longrightarrow \, NiSO_{4}(aq) + H_{2}O(l) + CO_{2}(g)
