Calculate the net change in energy for the following reaction:

Chemistry
1 answer:
AlekseyPX3 years ago
3 0

Answer:

-1078 kJ/mol.

Explanation:

Consider this reaction in three steps:

  1. Break everything down into atoms: 2 Na(g) + 2 H(g) + 2 Cl(g);
  2. Turn 2 Na(g) and 2 Cl(g) into 2 Na⁺(g) and 2 Cl⁻(g);
  3. Combine everything to form 2 NaCl(s) and H₂(g).

Sources of enthalpy changes in the first step:

  • Sublimate 2 Na(s);
  • Break two H-Cl bonds.

That corresponds to an enthalpy change of

\rm 2\times 97 + 2\times 427 = 1,048\;kJ\cdot mol^{-1}.

Sources of enthalpy changes in the second step:

  • Remove one electron for each of the two Na(g);
  • Add one electron to each of the two Cl(g).

That corresponds to an enthalpy change of

\rm 2\times 496 + 2\times (-349) = 294\; kJ\cdot mol^{-1}.

Sources of enthalpy changes in the third step:

  • Bring 2 Na⁺(g) and 2 Cl⁻(g) together to form 2 NaCl(s) (which corresponds to twice the lattice enthalpy of NaCl);
  • Bring 2 H(g) together to form one H₂(g).

That corresponds to an enthalpy change of

\rm 2\times (-778) + 2\times (-432) = -2,420\;kJ\cdot mol^{-1}.

Take the sum of the enthalpy changes of the three steps to find the enthalpy change of the overall reaction:

\rm 1,048 + 294 + (-2,420) = -1078\; kJ\cdot mol^{-1}.

____ [38]

Answer:

THE PERCENT ERROR IS 5.55 %

Explanation:

To calculate the percent error, we use the formula:

Percent error = Found value - accepted value / accepted value * 100

Found value = 2.85 g/cm3

Accepted value = 2.70 g/cm3

Solving for the percent error, we have:

Percent error = 2.85 g/cm3 - 2.70 g/cm3 / 2.70 g/cm3 * 100

Percent error = 0.15 / 2.70 * 100

Percent error = 0.05555 * 100

Percent error = 5.55 %

In conclusion, the percent error is 5.55 %

Initially, a particular sample has a total mass of 200 grams and contains 128 x 1010 radioactive nuclei. These radioactive nucle
lubasha [3.4K]

Explanation:

Formula to calculate how many particles are left is as follows.

              N = N_{0} (\frac{1}{2})^{l}

where,     N_{0} = number of initial particles

                              l = number of half lives

As it is given that number of initial particles is 128 \times 10^{10} and number of half-lives is 3.

Hence, putting the given values into the above equation as follows.

               N = N_{0} (\frac{1}{2})^{l}

                    = 128 \times 10^{10}(\frac{1}{2})^{3}

                    = 16 \times 10^{10}

or,                    1.6 \times 10^{11}

Thus, we can conclude that 1.6 \times 10^{11} particles of radioactive nuclei remain in the given sample.

In five hours we've gone through 5 half lives so the answer is:

particles
