Answer:

B. ΔHreaction = ΔH°f reactants- ΔH°f products

Explanation:

Using Hess's law, it is possible to sum ΔH of several related reactions to find ΔH of a particular reaction.

Having in mind Hess's law, ΔH°f is defined as the change in enthalpy during the formation of 1 mole of substance from its constituent elements (That is, pure elements, mono or diatomics, that have a ΔH° = 0).

For example, in ΔH°f of H₂O, the equation is:

H₂(g) + 1/2O₂(g) → H₂O(g)

The constituent elements with ΔH°f = 0 are H₂(g) and O₂(g).

Now, using Hess's law, you can sum the ΔH°f of substance in a reaction as, for example:

NaOH + HCl → H₂O + NaCl. ΔHr

The ΔH°f for each substance in the reaction is:

NaOH: Na + 1/2H₂ + 1/2O₂ → NaOH (1)

HCl: 1/2H₂ + 1/2Cl₂ → HCl (2)

H₂O: H₂ + 1/2O₂ → H₂O (3)

NaCl: Na + 1/2Cl₂ → NaCl (4)

The algebraic sum of (3) + (4) is -(ΔH°f reactants):

H₂ + 1/2O₂ + Na + 1/2Cl₂ → NaCl + H₂O ΔH°f reactants

This reaction - {(1)+(2)} ΔH°f products

NaOH + HCl → H₂O + NaCl.

ΔHr = ΔH°f reactants- ΔH°f products

In the example, we obtain this relationship that can be expanded for all reactions. Thus, right answer is:

<h3>B. ΔHreaction = ΔH°f reactants- ΔH°f products</h3>

What happens to ice as it melts energy

KonstantinChe [14]

Answer:

Energy is added (postive enthalpy)

Explanation:

Ice melting means solid turns into liquid. Solid is more stable than liquid thus you must put in energy to weaken the forces of solid and turn it into liquid. Thus, you must put in energy to melt ice. This makes the enthalpy of the system to be positive.

A chemistry student must write down in her lab notebook the concentration of a solution of sodium hydroxide. The concentration o

taurus [48]

Answer:

The concentration the student should write down in her lab is 2.2 mol/L

Explanation:

Atomic mass of the elements are:

Na: 22.989 u

S: 32.065 u

O: 15.999 u

Molar mass of sodium thiosulfate, Na2S2O3 = (2*22.989 + 2*32.065 + 3*15.999) g/mol = 158.105 g/mol.

Mass of Na2S2O3 taken = (19.440 - 2.2) g = 17.240 g.

For mole(s) of Na2S2O3 = (mass taken)/(molar mass)

= (17.240 g)/(158.105 g/mol) = 0.1090 mole.

Volume of the solution = 50.29 mL = (50.29 mL)*(1 L)/(1000 mL)

= 0.05029 L.

To find the molar concentration of the sodium thiosulfate solution prepared we use the formula:

= (moles of sodium thiosulfate)/(volume of solution in L)

= (0.1090 mole)/(0.05029 L)

= 2.1674 mol/L

The phrase “the danger is in the dose” is sometimes used when describing poisonous (toxic) chemicals. What does this mean?

Lostsunrise [7]

It means it depends on how much of the chemical you have. For ex. if 1 drop of snake venom might not kill you, but 20 drop could definitely kill you. Hope this helps!
