Answer:

293.99 g

0.293 Kg

Explanation:

Given data:

Lattice energy of Potassium nitrate (KNO3) = -163.8 kcal/mol

Heat of hydration of KNO3 = -155.5 kcal/mol

Heat to absorb by KNO3 = 101kJ

To find:

Mass of KNO3 to dissolve in water = ?

Solution:

Heat of solution = Hydration energy - Lattice energy

= -155.5 -(-163.8)

= 8.3 kcal/mol

We already know,

1 kcal/mol = 4.184 kJ/mole

Therefore,

= 4.184 kJ/mol x 8.3 kcal/mol

= 34.73 kJ/mol

Now, 34.73 kJ of heat is absorbed when 1 mole of KNO3 is dissolved in water.

For 101 kJ of heat would be

= 101/34.73

= 2.908 moles of KNO3

Molar mass of KNO3 = 101.1 g/mole

Mass of KNO3 = Molar mass x moles

= 101.1 g/mole x 2.908

= 293.99 g

= 0.293 kg

293.99 g potassium nitrate has to dissolve in water to absorb 101 kJ of heat.

Answer:

A. write balanced chemical equation (including states), for this process.

Explanation:

Almost all hydrocarbon 'burn' reactions involve oxygen; it's by far the most reactive substance in air.

Hydrocarbon combustions always involve

[some hydrocarbon] + oxygen --> carbon dioxide + steam.

C6H6(l) + O2 (g)--> CO2 (g)+ H2O (g)

Balance carbon, six on each side:

C6H6(l) + O2 (g)--> 6CO2 (g)+ H2O (g)

Balance hydrogen, six on each side:

C6H6(l) + O2 (g)--> 6CO2(g) + 3H2O (g)

Now, we have fifteen oxygens on the right and O2 on the left.

Two ways to deal with that. We can use a fraction:

C6H6 (l)+ (15/2)O2 (g)--> 6CO2 (g)+ 3H2O (g)

Or, if you prefer to have whole number coefficients, double everything

to get rid of the fraction:

2C6H6 (l)+ 15O2 (g)--> 12CO2 (g)+ 6H2O (g)

With the SATP states thrown in...

C6H6(l) + (15/2)O2(g) --> 6CO2(g) + 3H2O(g)

7. Suppose 1.01 g of iron (III) chloride is placed in a 10.00-mL volumetric flask with a bit of water in it. The flask is shaken

Nana76 [90]

Answer: The molarity of Iron (III) chloride is 0.622 M.

Explanation:

Molarity is defined as the number of moles present in one liter of solution. The equation used to calculate molarity of the solution is:

$\text{Molarity of the solution}=\frac{\text{Moles of solute}}{\text{Volume of solution (in L)}}$

Or,

$\text{Molarity of the solution}=\frac{\text{Mass of solute}\times 1000}{\text{Molar mass of solute}\times \text{Volume of solution (in mL)}}$

We are given:

Mass of iron (III) chloride = 1.01 g

Molar mass of iron (III) chloride = 162.2 g/mol

Volume of the solution = 10 mL

Putting values in above equation, we get:

$\text{Molarity of Iron (III) chloride}=\frac{1.01g\times 1000}{162.2g/mol\times 10mL}\\\\\text{Molarity of Iron (III) chloride}=0.622M$

Hence, the molarity of Iron (III) chloride is 0.622 M.

How can i toast a marshmallow using convection ?

Elina [12.6K]

Convection is where the heat source heats the air, and the air transfers the heat to object. Some people prefer to heat their marshmallow through convection, this is achieved by holding the marshmallow high above the flames where the heated air is rising, transforing the heat into the marshmallow.
