What is the change in enthalpy when 11. 0 g of liquid mercury is heated by 15°c?
Vlad1618 [11]

Enthalpy change is the difference between energy used and energy gained. The change in enthalpy of the liquid mercury is 0.0231 kJ.

<h3>What is the enthalpy change?</h3>

Enthalpy change is the difference between the energy used to break chemical bonds and the energy gained by the products formed in a chemical reaction.

The enthalpy change is given by,

\rm \Delta H_{rxn} = \rm q_{rxn}

and,

\rm q = mc\Delta T

Given,

Mass of the liquid mercury (m) = 11.0 gm

The specific heat of mercury (c) = 0.14 J per g per degree Celsius

Temperature change = 15 degrees Celsius

Enthalpy change is calculated as:

\begin{aligned} \rm q &= \rm mc\Delta T\\\\&= 11 \times 0.14 \times 15\\\\&= 23.1 \;\rm J\end{aligned}

Therefore, 0.0231 kJ is the change in enthalpy.

How do we balance Zn + HNO3 Zn(NO3)2 + NO + H20​
USPshnik [31]

3Zn + 8HNO₃⇒ 3Zn(NO₃)₂ + 2NO + 4H₂O

<h3>Further explanation </h3>

Equalization of chemical reaction equations can be done using variables. Steps in equalizing the reaction equation:  

  • 1. gives a coefficient on substances involved in the equation of reaction such as a, b, or c etc.  
  • 2. make an equation based on the similarity of the number of atoms where the number of atoms = coefficient × index between reactant and product  
  • 3. Select the coefficient of the substance with the most complex chemical formula equal to 1  

For gas combustion reaction which is a reaction of hydrocarbons with oxygen produces CO₂ and H₂O (water vapor). can use steps:  

Balancing C atoms, H and the last O atoms

Reaction

Zn + HNO₃⇒ Zn(NO₃)₂ + NO + H₂O

  • 1. gives a coefficient

aZn + bHNO₃⇒ Zn(NO₃)₂ + cNO + dH₂O

  • 2. make an equation

Zn : left = a, right =1 ⇒a=1

H : left = b, right = 2d⇒ b=2d (eq 1)

N : left = b, right = 2+c⇒b=2+c (eq 2)

O : left = 3b, right = 6+c+d ⇒3b=6+c+d(eq 3)

  • From eq 1 and eq 3

3(2d)=6+c+d

6d=6+c+d

5d=6+c (eq 4)

  • From eq 2 and eq 3

3(2+c)=6+c+d

6+3c=6+c+d

2c=d (eq 5)

  • From eq 4 and eq 5

5(2c)=6+c

10c=6+c

9c=6

c = 2/3

  • input eq 5

d = 2 x 2/3

d = 4/3

  • input eq 1

b = 2 x 4/3

b = 8/3

The equation

aZn + bHNO₃⇒ Zn(NO₃)₂ + cNO + dH₂O to

Zn + 8/3HNO₃⇒ Zn(NO₃)₂ + 2/3NO + 4/3H₂O x 3

3Zn + 8HNO₃⇒ 3Zn(NO₃)₂ + 2NO + 4H₂O

I'd really appreciate help- this is due in around 8 hours :"D
Fed [463]

Answer:

  1. atomic #= 1
  • protons equals one
  • Number of neutrons equals to 0
  • number of electrons equal to 1
  • mass number equals to 1

2.

  • atomic number equals to 1
  • Protons equals to 1
  • number of neutrons equals to 0
  • number of electrons equals to 0 because the plus sign means that it loses an electron
  • mass number equals to 1

3.

  • atomic number 17
  • number of protons 17
  • number of neutrons 18
  • number for electrons 18 Because negative sign means It's an anion which means it gains an electron
  • mass number 35

4.

  • 12
  • 12
  • 12
  • 10 loses 2 its a cation
  • 24

5.

  • 47
  • 47
  • 108-47 = 61
  • 46 loses 1
  • 108

6.

  • 16
  • 16
  • 32-16 =16
  • 18 it gains 2 electrons
  • 32

there u go
