Answer:

<em>293.99 g </em>

OR

<em>0.293 Kg</em>

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

<em><u>293.99 g potassium nitrate has to dissolve in water to absorb 101 kJ of heat. </u></em>

Explain why a fluorescent light bulb is not as hot as an incandescent light bulb.
Jet001 [13]

An incandescent bulb becomes hotter than a fluorescent bulb when turned on because in a regular incandescent bulb, there is tungsten wire where electricity is converts into heat. A regular incandescent light bulb requires 4 times more energy than a fluorescent bulb in order to produce the same amount of light. The conversion is such that for a 75-watt bulb, temperature get raised to approximately 2000 K. For such a high temperature, the radiating energy from the wire have some visible light. In such bulbs, 90% of the electricity get consumed in producing heat and only 10% produces light thus, they are not much efficient source of light.

On the other hand, fluorescent bulbs produce light with less amount of heat. In them, 40% of electricity is consumed in producing light and 60% in heat which is very less as compared to heat produced by a incandescent bulb. This is because when it get turned on, mercury atoms inside the bulb collides with electrons and produce UV light  which is then converted into visible light using thin layer of phosphor power present inside the bulb. This produces low amount of heat thus, the bulb stays cooler, the bigger size of bulb also helps in dispersing heat.

Therefore, a fluorescent light bulb is not as hot as an incandescent light bulb.

Gaseous methane CH4 reacts with gaseous oxygen gas O2 to produce gaseous carbon dioxide CO2 and gaseous water H2O. What is the t
Murrr4er [49]

Answer:

50.8 g

Explanation:

Equation of reaction.

CH_4 + 2O_2 \to CO_2 + 2H_2O

From the given information, the number of moles of methane = mass/ molar mass

= 15.4 g /  16.04 g/mol

= 0.960 mol

number of moles of oxygen gas = 90.3 g / 32 g/ mol

= 2.82 mol

Since 1 mol of methane requires 2 moles of oxygen

Then 0.960 mol of methane will require = 0.960 mol × 2 = 1.92 mol of oxygen gas

Thus, methane serves as a limiting reagent.

2.82 mol oxygen gas will result in 2.82 moles of water

So, the theoretical yield of water = moles × molar mass

= 2.82 mol × 18.01528 g/mol

= 50.8 g

Discuss the shapes of s- orbitals, p-orbitals and d-orbitals.
timurjin [86]

The azimuthal quantum number (l) determines its orbital angular momentum and describes the shape of the orbital.

s-orbitals (for example 1s, 2s) are spherically symmetric around the nucleus of the atom.

p-orbitals are dumb-bell shaped. l = 0,1...n-1, when l = 1, that is p subshell.

d-orbitals are butterfly shaped.

How much time would it take for 5.2 x 10^5 atoms of fermium-253 (half-life 3 days) to decay to 6.5 x 104 atoms?
Jlenok [28]

Answer:

9 days, or 3 half-lives

Explanation:

5.2x10^5=520000

6.5x10^4=65000

65000/520000=1/8, or 3 half-lives

3x3=9 days

I'm not the greatest at Chem but this seems more like math than Chem :)

A rule of thumb in baking is that 1/2 teaspoon of baking soda is neutralized by one cup of sour milk. the acid component in sour
Sophie [7]

Answer : The ionic equation will be:

CH_3CH(OH)COO^-(aq)+H^+(aq)+Na^+(aq)+HCO_3^-(aq)\rightarrow CH_3CH(OH)COO^-(aq)+Na^+(aq)+H_2O(l)+CO_2(g)

Explanation :

Neutralization reaction : It is a type of chemical reaction in which an acid react with a base to give salt and water as a product that means it reacts to give a neutral solution.

When baking soda (sodium hydrogen carbonate) base react with lactic acid then it react to gives sodium lactate, carbon dioxide and water as a product.

The balanced chemical reaction will be:

CH_3CH(OH)COOH(aq)+NaHCO_3(aq)\rightarrow CH_3CH(OH)COONa(aq)+H_2O(l)+CO_2(g)

The ionic equation will be:

CH_3CH(OH)COO^-(aq)+H^+(aq)+Na^+(aq)+HCO_3^-(aq)\rightarrow CH_3CH(OH)COO^-(aq)+Na^+(aq)+H_2O(l)+CO_2(g)
