If it is heated while it is being compressed or held inside a container as such, the pressure build up while in the container  and the pressure can become so much that the container will burst.

A chemist measures the energy change ?H during the following reaction: 2HgO (s) ?2Hg (l) +O2 (g) =?H182.kJ Use the information t
Elan Coil [88]

Answer:

A. endothermic.

A. Yes, absorbed.

Explanation:

Let's consider the following thermochemical equation.

2 HgO(s) ⇒ 2 Hg(l) + O₂(g)  ΔH = 182 kJ

The enthalpy of the reaction is positive (ΔH > 0), which means that the reaction is endothermic.

182 kJ are absorbed when 2 moles of HgO react (molar mass 216.59 g/mol). The heat absorbed when 72.8 g of HgO react is:

72.8g.\frac{1mol}{216.59g} .\frac{182kJ}{2mol} =30.6kJ/mol

Determine the volume of water to be added to the nitric acid solution at a concentration of 8.61 mol / L to prepare 500 mL of th
Alex_Xolod [135]

Answer:

398 mL

Explanation:

Using the equation for molarity,

C₁V₁ = C₂V₂ where C₁ = concentration before adding water = 8.61 mol/L and V₁ = volume before adding water, C₂ = concentration after adding water = 1.75 mol/L and V₂ = volume after adding water = 500 mL = 0.5 L

V₂ = V₁ + V' where V' = volume of water added.

So, From C₁V₁ = C₂V₂

V₁ =  C₂V₂/C₁

= 1.75 mol/L × 0.5 L ÷ 8.61 mol/L

= 0.875 mol/8.61 mol/L

= 0.102 L

So, V₂ = V₁ + V'

0.5 L = 0.102 L + V'

V' = 0.5 L - 0.102 L

= 0.398 L

= 398 mL

So, we need to add 398 mL of water to the nitric solution.

What is the mass, in grams, 6.5 mol of sodium nitrate (nano3)? please show all work?
ladessa [460]
Mass is the property of a physical body and the resistance to acceleration when a net force is applied on the body.  
The atomic mass of sodium (Na) is = 22.98 
The atomic mass of nitrate (N) is = 14.00 
The atomic mass of oxygen (O) is = 15.99  
The sodium nitrate (NaNO3) consists of the atomic masses of Na+N+(O)3 = 85 grams  
Therefore, the mass of 6.5 mol of sodium nitrate is = 6.5 * 1 mol of NaNO3 
 = 6.5 * (85) 
 = 552.50 grams
