Silicon has a relatively large latent heat of vaporization of 12800 J/g. This indicates that silicon has:

1 answer:

3 0

I believe it means that it takes a lot of heat in joules to make silicon vaporize so it stays solid until a great deal of heat has been added. By comparison, water has a latent heat of about 2260 joules per gram so vaporizes much more readily than silicon.

D.) It depends cuz no yeild is 100%..I mean side reactions also occur in most of the reactions. So mass of the reactant is not equal to the mass of the product. Hope it helps

What is the energy change if 84.0 g of calcium oxide (CaO) reacts with excess water in the following reaction?

pochemuha

The energy change if 84.0 g of CaO react with excess water is 98KJ of heat is released.

calculation
heat = number of moles x delta H

delta H = - 65.2 Kj/mol

first find the number of moles of CaO reacted

moles = mass/molar mass
the molar mass of CaO = 40 + 16= 56 g/mol
mass = 84 g
moles therefore = 84 g/56 g/mol =1.5 moles

Heat is therefore = 1.5 moles x -65.2 = - 97.8 Kj = -98 Kj

since sign is negative the energy is released

In the reaction FeCl2 + 2NaOH ->Fe(OH)2(s) + 2NaCl, if 6 moles of FeCl2 are added to 6 moles of Na0H, how many moles of NaOH

pogonyaev

Answer : The correct option is, (B) 6 mole

Explanation :

Given moles of $FeCl_2$ = 6 moles

Given moles of $NaOH$ = 6 moles

First we have to calculate the limiting and excess reagent.

The balanced chemical reaction is,

$FeCl_2+2NaOH\rightarrow Fe(OH)_2+2NaCl$

From the given balanced reaction, we conclude that

As, 1 moles of $FeCl_2$ react with 2 moles of $NaOH$

So, 6 moles of $FeCl_2$ react with $\frac{2}{1}\times 6=12$ moles of $NaOH$

From this we conclude that, $FeCl_2$ is an excess reagent and $NaOH$ is a limiting reagent because the given moles are less than the required moles and it limits the formation of product.

Thus, the number of moles of NaOH used up in the reaction = Required moles of NaOH - Given moles of NaOH

The number of moles of NaOH used up in the reaction = 12 - 6 = 6 moles

Therefore, the number of moles of NaOH used up in the reaction will be, 60 moles
