Assume that silver and gold form ideal, random mixtures. Calculate the mass of pure Ag needed to cause an entropy increase of 20

J/K when mixed with 100g of pure Au

Answer:

m_{Ag}=2,265.9g

Explanation:

Hello!

In this case, since the definition of entropy in a random mixture is:

\Delta S=-n_TR\Sigma[x_i*ln(x_i)]

For this silver-gold mixture we write:

\Delta S=-(n_{Au}+n_{Ag})R\Sigma[\frac{n_{Au}}{n_{Au}+n_{Ag}} *ln(\frac{n_{Au}}{n_{Au}+n_{Ag}} )+\frac{n_{Ag}}{n_{Au}+n_{Ag}} *ln(\frac{n_{Ag}}{n_{Au}+n_{Ag}} )]

By knowing the moles of gold:

n_{Au}=100g*\frac{1mol}{197g} =0.508mol

It is possible to write the aforementioned formula in terms of the variable x representing the moles of silver:

20\frac{J}{mol}=-(0.508+x)8.314\frac{J}{mol*K} \Sigma[\frac{0.508}{0.508+x} *ln(\frac{0.508}{0.508+x} )+\frac{x}{0.508+x} *ln(\frac{x}{0.508+x} )]

Which can be solved via Newton-Raphson or a solver software, in this case, I will provide you the answer:

x=n_{Ag}=21.0molAg

So the mass is:

m_{Ag}=21.0mol*\frac{107.9g}{1mol}\\ \\m_{Ag}=2,265.9g

Best regards!

How many moles are in a 12.0 g sample of NiC12
Nady [450]

Answer:

0.17 moles

Explanation:

In the elements of the periodic table, the atomic mass = molar mass. <u>Ex:</u> Atomic mass of Carbon is 12.01 amu which means molar mass of Carbon is also 12.01g/mol.

In order to find the # of moles in a 12 g sample of NiC-12, we will need to multiply the number of each atom by its molar mass and then add the masses of both Nickel and C-12 found in the periodic table:

  • Molar Mass of Ni (Nickel): 58.69 g/mol
  • Molar Mass of C (Carbon): 12.01 g/mol

Since there's just one atom of both Carbon and Nickel, we just add up the masses to find the molar mass of the whole compound of NiC-12.

  • 58.69 g/mol of Nickel + 12.01 g/mol of Carbon = 70.7 g/mol of NiC-12

There's 12g of NiC-12, which is less than the molar mass of NiC-12, so the number of moles should be less than 1. In order to find the # of moles in NiC-12, we need to do some dimensional analysis:

  • 12g NiC-12 (1 mol of NiC-12/70.7g NiC-12) = 0.17 mol of NiC-12
  • The grams cancel, leaving us with moles of NiC-12, so the answer is 0.17 moles of NiC-12 in a 12 g sample.

<em>P.S. C-12 or C12 just means that the Carbon atom has an atomic mass of 12amu and a molar mass of 12g/mol, or just regular carbon.</em>
