A 1.67-g sample of solid silver reacted in excess chlorine gas to give a2.21-g sample of pure solid Agcl.The heat given off in t
kotegsom [21]

<u>Given:</u>

Mass of Ag = 1.67 g

Mass of Cl = 2.21 g

Heat evolved = 1.96 kJ

<u>To determine:</u>

The enthalpy of formation of AgCl(s)

<u>Explanation:</u>

The reaction is:

2Ag(s) + Cl2(g) → 2AgCl(s)

Calculate the moles of Ag and Cl from the given masses

Atomic mass of Ag = 108 g/mol

# moles of Ag = 1.67/108 = 0.0155 moles

Atomic mass of Cl = 35 g/mol

# moles of Cl = 2.21/35 = 0.0631 moles

Since moles of Ag << moles of Cl, silver is the limiting reagent.

Based on reaction stoichiometry: # moles of AgCl formed = 0.0155 moles

Enthalpy of formation of AgCl = 1.96 kJ/0.0155 moles = 126.5 kJ/mol

Ans: Formation enthalpy = 126.5 kJ/mol

Andrea and the other members of the tennis team are practicing hitting tennis balls. If two people hit identical balls at the sa
almond37 [142]

Answer:

D

Explanation:

The formula for calculating kinetic energy is 1/2mv^2, where m is the mass and v is the velocity or speed of the object. Since all of the balls have the same mass, the one with the highest speed or velocity will have the highest kinetic energy. Hope this helps!

Is it better for an element to be more abundant or less abundant?
PIT_PIT [208]

I believe it's better for it to be more abundant because it's better to have more then less. Take water as an example. Water is an important factor to our survival and if we didn't have enough of that we would be in trouble.  Or if we needed food but there wasn't enough more people would be dying from starvation. It's better to have a little more than a little less.
