Answer:

THE ENTHALPY OF REACTION IN KJ/MOL OF CH4 IS 7.07 KJ/MOL.

Explanation:

Mass of H2 = 3 g

Molar mass of H2 = 2 g/mol

Heat released = 53.3 kJ

Equation of the reaction:

C(s) + 2H2(g) -------> CH4(g)

First:

Calculate the number of moles of H2 that was used:

Number of moles = mass / molar mass

Number of moles = 3g / 2g

Number of moles = 1.5 moles

So therefore, when 53.3 kJ of heat was released from the reaction, 1.5 moles of hydrogen was used.

From the equation of the reaction, one mole of carbon reacts with two moles of hydrogen to form one mole of methane.

For 3 g of hydrogen, 1.5 mole of hydrogen is involved.

It means:

1.5 moles of hydrogen reacts with 0.75 moles of carbon and produces 0.75 moles of methane. This is so because the reaction occurs in 1: 2: 1 in respect to carbon, hydrogen and methane respectively.

So we can say that the production of 0.75 mole of methane will evolve 53.3 kJ of heat.

0.75 mole of methane releases 53.3 kJ of heat.

1 mole of methane will release ( 53.3 kJ * 1 / 0.75 )

= 71.0666 kJ of heat

In conclusion, the enthalpy of the reaction in kJ/ mole of CH4 is 71.07 kJ/mol.

Complete and balance the following acid-base reaction equation ______HNO3 + ______ Mg(OH)2 ------&gt;
jekas [21]

Answer

_2 HNO₃ + 1 Mg(OH)₂ → 1 Mg(NO₃)₂ + 2 H₂O

Explanation

Given:

______HNO3 + Mg(OH)2 ------>

Solution:

Note that the reaction between an acid and a base will give salt and water only.

Hence the complete reaction of the given equation is:

___HNO₃ + Mg(OH)₂ → Mg(NO₃)₂ + H₂O

To get the balanced equation for the acid-base reaction, 2 moles of HNO₃ will react with 1 mole of Mg(OH)₂ to produced 1 mole of Mg(NO₃)₂ and 2 moles of H₂O.

Therefore, the complete and balanced equation for the given acid-base reaction is:

_2 HNO₃ + 1 Mg(OH)₂ → 1 Mg(NO₃)₂ + 2 H₂O
