MgCl2 because it is the only option in which a metal appears with a nonmetal. In this case, the metal transfers electrons to the nonmental because the metal has a lower ionization energy.
Don’t worry about it, let me do your homework!
Born February 27, 1869, Alice Hamilton was an American physician, research scientist, and author who is best known as a leading expert in the field of occupational health and a pioneer in the field of industrial toxicology. She was also the first woman appointed to the faculty of Harvard University.
Answer:
A. Students made a measurement error, because ending with more products is impossible.
Explanation:
The law of conversation of matter tells us that in a chemical reaction, matter is never created or destroyed, it's simply converted from one form to another. So the mass of reactants should always equal the mass of the products in a chemical reaction. If there is excess mass in the product, the students have made an error of some kind.
Δ H reaction = q / n where q: amount of heat released and n is number of moles of substance.
q = m . C . ΔT where:
m = mass of substance (g)
C = Specific heat capacity (4.18)
ΔT = change in temperature = 24.25 - 23.16 = 1.09
q = 1000 x 4.18 x 1.09 = 4556 J = 4.556 kJ
number of moles (n) = Molarity (M) x Volume (L)
= 0.185 M x 0.07 L = 0.01295 mole
Δ H = q / n = - (4.556 kJ / 0.01295 mole) = -351.8 kJ / mol
Note: it is exothermic reaction (-ve sign) i.e. temperature is raised
