<u>Answer:</u> The molar mass of the mystery element is 111.27 g/mol

<u>Explanation:</u>

To calculate the heat absorbed by the calorimeter, we use the equation:

q=c\Delta T

where,

q = heat absorbed

c = heat capacity of calorimeter = 1650 J/°C

\Delta T = change in temperature = 2.54^oC

Putting values in above equation, we get:

q=1650J/^oC\times 2.54^oC=4191kJ

Heat absorbed by the calorimeter will be equal to the heat released by the reaction.

<u>Sign convention of heat:</u>

When heat is absorbed, the sign of heat is taken to be positive and when heat is released, the sign of heat is taken to be negative.

To calculate the number of moles of the mystery molecule, we use the equation:

\Delta H_{rxn}=\frac{q}{n}

where,

q = amount of heat released = -4191 J

n = number of moles = ? moles

\Delta H_{rxn} = enthalpy change of the reaction = -2960 kJ/mol = -2960000 J/mol    (Conversion factor = 1 kJ = 1000 J)

Putting values in above equation, we get:

-2960000=\frac{-4191J}{n}\\\\n=\frac{-4191}{-2960000}=0.00142mol

To calculate the number of moles, we use the equation:

\text{Number of moles}=\frac{\text{Given mass}}{\text{Molar mass}}

Given mass of mystery molecule = 0.158 g

Moles of mystery molecule = 0.00142 mol

Putting values in above equation, we get:

0.00142mol=\frac{0.158g}{\text{Molar mass of mystery molecule}}\\\\\text{Molar mass of mystery molecule}=\frac{0.158}{0.00142}=111.27g/mol

Hence, the molar mass of the mystery element is 111.27 g/mol

What is the ph of a solution of 0.550 m k2hpo4, potassium hydrogen phosphate?
Solnce55 [7]
We assume that we have Ka= 4.2x10^-13 (missing in the question)
and when we have this equation:
H2PO4 (-) → H+  + HPO4-
and form the Ka equation we can get [H+]:
Ka= [H+] [HPO4-] / [H2PO4] and we have Ka= 4.2x10^-13 & [H2PO4-] = 0.55m
by substitution:
4.2x10^-13 = (z)(z)/ 0.55
z^2 = 2.31x 10^-13
z= 4.81x10^-7
∴[H+] = 4.81x10^-7
when PH equation is:

PH= -㏒[H+]
     = -㏒(4.81x10^-7) = 6.32
