The ground<span> state of an electron, the energy level it normally occupies, is the state of lowest energy for that electron. ... An electron </span>can become excited<span> if it is given extra energy, such as if it absorbs a photon, or packet of light, or collides with a nearby </span>atom<span> or particle. (I do not take credit for that answer)</span>

A sample of 14.5 g of sodium bicarbonate (NaHCO3) was dissolved in 100 ml of water in a coffee-cup calorimeter with no lid by th
Ann [662]

Answer:

The ΔH of the reaction is + 12.45 KJ/mol

Explanation:

Mass of water= 100ml = 100g. (You should always assume 1cm3 of water as 1g)

heat capacity of water = 4.18 Jk-1 Mol-1

Change in temperature = (19.86 - 25.00) = -5.14 K (This is an endothermic reaction because of the fall in temperature)

Molar mass of NaHCO3 = 84 g/mol

Mole of NaHCO3 = 14.5 / 84 = 0.173 mol

Step 1 : Calculate the heat energy (Q) lost by the water.

            Q = M x C x ΔT

            Q = -100 x 4.18 x (-5.14)

            Q = 2148.5 joules

            Q = 2.1485 K J

Step 2: Calculating the ΔH of the reaction?

          ΔH = Q / number of moles of NaHCO3

          ΔH = 2.1485 / 0.173

          ΔH = 12.42 KJ/mol

A sample of oxygen gas (O2) at STP has a mass of 48.0 grams. What is the volume of the gas?
zvonat [6]
P * V = n R T 
<span>1 * 2.50 = n * 0.082 * 273 = 2. 50 / ( 0.082 * 273 ) = 0.11 mol </span>
<span>mass = mole number * molecular mass </span>
<span>mass = 0.11 * ( 16 * 2 ) = 3.52 g </span>

How many moles are in a sample of Sodium that contains 1.806 x 1024 atoms?
Ad libitum [116K]

Answer: 3 moles Na

Explanation: To find the number of moles of Na, divide the number of atoms of Na with the Avogadro's Number.

1.806x10²⁴ atoms Na x 1 mole Na / 6.022x10²³ atoms Na

= 2.99 or 3 moles Na
