<u>Answer:</u> The excess reagent for the given chemical reaction is mercury (II) perchlorate and the amount left after the completion of reaction is 0.048 moles. The amount of mercury sulfide formed in the reaction is 35.82 grams.

<u>Explanation:</u>

To calculate the number of moles, we use the equation:

\text{Number of moles}=\frac{\text{Given mass}}{\text{Molar mass}}   ....(1)

  • <u>For sodium sulfide:</u>

Given mass of sodium sulfide = 12.026 g

Molar mass of sodium sulfide = 78.045 g/mol

Putting values in above equation, we get:

\text{Moles of sodium sulfide}=\frac{12.026g}{78.045g/mol}=0.154mol

  • <u>For mercury (II) perchlorate:</u>

Given mass of mercury (II) perchlorate = 80.701 g

Molar mass of mercury (II) perchlorate = 399.49 g/mol

Putting values in above equation, we get:

\text{Moles of mercury (II) perchlorate}=\frac{80.701g}{399.49g/mol}=0.202mol

For the given chemical equation:

Hg(ClO_4)_2(aq.)+Na_2S(aq.)\rightarrow HgS(s)+2NaClO_4(aq.)

Here, the solid precipitate is mercury sulfide.

By Stoichiometry of the reaction:

1 mole of sodium sulfide reacts with 1 mole of mercury (II) perchlorate.

So, 0.154 moles of sodium sulfide will react with = \frac{1}{1}\times 0.154=0.154moles of mercury (II) perchlorate

As, given amount of mercury (II) perchlorate is more than the required amount. So, it is considered as an excess reagent.

Thus, sodium sulfide is considered as a limiting reagent because it limits the formation of product.

  • Amount of excess reagent (mercury (II) perchlorate) left = 0.202 - 0.154 = 0.048 moles

By Stoichiometry of the reaction:

1 mole of sodium sulfide reacts with 1 mole of mercury sulfide.

So, 0.154 moles of sodium sulfide will react with = \frac{1}{1}\times 0.154=0.154moles of mercury sulfide.

Now, calculating the mass of mercury sulfide from equation 1, we get:

Molar mass of mercury sulfide = 232.66 g/mol

Moles of mercury sulfide = 0.154 moles

Putting values in equation 1, we get:

0.154mol=\frac{\text{Mass of mercury sulfide}}{232.66g/mol}\\\\\text{Mass of mercury sulfide}=35.82g

Hence, the excess reagent for the given chemical reaction is mercury (II) perchlorate and the amount left after the completion of reaction is 0.048 moles. The amount of mercury sulfide formed in the reaction is 35.82 grams.

What can help overcome a positive enthalpy of solution and allow a solid
IgorC [24]

Answer: D. An increase in entropy

Explanation:

Entropy is the measure of randomness or disorder of a system. If a system moves from  an disordered arrangement to an ordered arrangement, the entropy is said to increase and vice versa.

For a reaction to be spontaneous, the enthalpy of the solution must decrease and the entropy must increase.

To overcome a positive enthalpy of solution and allow a solid  solute to dissolve in water, an increase in entropy would make the reaction spontaneous as the system would move to a more disordered state.

How can one kg of iron melt more ice than 1 kg lead at 100 °C
Vanyuwa [196]

Answer:

Due to the specific heat capacity of iron, 0.444 J/(g·°C), is more than the specific heat capacity for lead, 0.160 J/(g·°C)

Explanation:

The given parameters are;

The metals provided to melt the ice and their temperature includes;

One kg (1000 g) of iron;

Specific heat capacity = 0.444 J/(g·°C)

Temperature = 100°C

1 kg (1000 g) of lead

Specific heat capacity = 0.160 J/(g·°C)

Temperature = 100°C

Therefore, the heat provided to the ice of mass m, and latent heat of 334 J/g at 0°C by the metals are as follows;

For iron, we have;

ΔQ = Mass × Specific heat capacity × Temperature change

ΔQ_{iron} = Heat obtained from the iron by the ice

ΔQ_{iron} = 0.444 m × 1000 × (100 - 0) = 44400 J

Heat absorbed by the ice for melting, H_l = Heat obtained from the iron

∴ Heat absorbed by the ice for melting, H_l = Mass of ice × Latent heat of ice

H_l = Mass of ice × 334 J/g = 44400 J

Mass of ice melted by the iron = 44400 J/334 (J/g) ≈ 132.9 g

Mass of ice melted by the iron ≈ 132.9 g

For lead, we have;

ΔQ = Mass × Specific heat capacity × Temperature change

ΔQ_{lead} = Heat obtained from the iron by the ice

ΔQ_{lead} = 0.160 m × 1000 × (100 - 0) = 16000 J

Heat absorbed by the ice for melting, H_l = Heat obtained from the iron

∴ Heat absorbed by the ice for melting, H_l = Mass of ice × Latent heat of ice

H_l = Mass of ice × 334 J/g = 16000 J

Mass of ice melted by the lead = 16000 J/334 (J/g) ≈ 47.9 g

Mass of ice melted by the lead ≈ 47.9 g

Therefore, mass of  ice melted by the iron, approximately 132.9 g, is more than mass of ice melted by the lead, approximately 47.9 g.
