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>

Chemical changes
Alex777 [14]
The correct answer is that chemical changes form new compounds. Chemical change is a change where the substance changes in identity or form new substances after undergoing a process. On the other hand, a physical change is a change in the properties of matter that does not change the identity of the substance.
