Answer:

  • a) Heat = 590 kJ

  • b) Endothermic

Explanation:

<em>Endothermi</em>c processes absorb energy. The final state contains more energy than the initial state.

Since ice absorbs heat energy <em>in the process of completely melting</em> this is an <em>endothermic</em> process.

The process involves two stages: 1) heating the ice up to the melting point, which is 0ºC, and 2) melting the ice.

1. Heating the ice from -15ºC to 0ºC

a) Formula: Q = m×C×ΔT

  • m = 1.6 kg
  • C = 2.108 kJ/kg.ºC (specific heat of ice)
  • ΔT = 15ºC

b) Calculations:

  • Q = m×C×ΔT = 1.6 kg × 2.108 kJ/kg.ºC  × 15ºC = 50.592 kJ

2. Melting the ice at 0ºC

a) Formula:  L = m × ΔHf

  • m = 1.6 kg
  • ΔHf = 334 kJ/kg (latent heat of fussion)

b) Calculations

  •    L = m × ΔHf = 1.6 kg × 334 kJ/kg = 534.40 kJ

<u />

<u>2. Total heat</u>

<u />

  • 50.592 kJ + 534.40 kJ = 584.992 kJ ≈ 590 kJ (rounded to 2 significant figures)

Calculate the ΔHrxn for the following
Vesnalui [34]

Answer:

2 NO (g) → N2 (g) + O2 (g)

2 NOCl (g) → 2 NO (g) + Cl2 (g)

____________________________

2NOCl (g) ⟶ N2 (g) + O2 (g) + Cl2 (g)

ΔH = [90.3 kJ x 2 x -1] +  [-38.6 kJ x -1 x 2] = -103.4 kJ

The ΔH for the reaction is -103.4 kJ

Artyom0805 [142]

Answer:

The structures shown by dots and lines to give the exact number of electrons in the outer most shell is explained by Lewis Structures.

Explanation:

Lewis structures are those structures in which the diagram is shown using the electron representation. They are easy to understand as the diagram completely depicts where the electrons are shared and where they are transferred. The diagram also explains where there is a single bond and where there is a di covalent bond or tri covalent bond explaining where the single , double or triple electron pair is shared. The electrons are shown by dots or lines.

For example CCl₄ can be shown as follows

                  ..

               .. Cl..

  ..                               ..

..Cl..----------C----------..Cl..

                   ..

                .. Cl..

The picture shows that each chlorine has six electrons in its outer shell and then a pair of electron is shared with carbon forming a single covalent bond.

Similarly methane CH4 can also be shown.

The hydrogen has one electron and it shares an electron from carbon stabilising itself forming methane.
