Answer:

Enthalpy of formation = -947.68KJ/mol

Explanation:

Enthalpy of formation is the heat change when one mole of a substance is formed from its element in its standard states and in standard conditions of temperature and pressure. it may be positive or negative, if positive, it is an endothermic reaction where the heat content of the product is greater than that of the reactants, and if negative, it is exothermic reaction - where the heat content of the reactants is greater than the products. the enthalpy of formation is measured in KiloJoule/Moles (KJ/Mole).

From the value of the enthalpy of formation of NaHCO3, it shows that the reaction is exothermic, that is the formation of NaHCO3 from its constituents elements. As such, the heat content of the reactants is greater than the products.

The step by step explanation is shown in the attachment.

Answer:

-947.6 kJ/mol.

Explanation:

The constituent elements combined to result in NaHCO3(s)

NaHCO3(s) → (1/2).Na2CO3(s) + (1/2).CO2(g) + (1/2).H2O(g) : ΔHr = +64.6 kJ/mol

Enthalpy change of a reaction can be measured and given the symbol, . It is equal to the difference in enthalpy between reactants and products

From this equation we deduct that water is produced as a vapour, hence the reaction is endotermic and ΔHr is positive.

Therefore, To find the enthalpy of formation of NaHCO3 from this equation, we use the general equation which relates the enthalpy change ΔHr of the reaction to the enthalpies ΔHf of formation for the reactants and products.

ΔHr = ∑ΔH(products) - ∑ΔH(reagents)

where the

ΔH is equal to the change in the potential energy of enthalpy of the chemical bond.

In ideal test scenarios, these values should be supplied, as you will not be able to look them up. Here, I've supplied values here.

ΔHf : Na2CO3(s) = -1130.7, CO2(g) = -393.5, H2O(g) = -241.8 kJ/mol

Using these figures (you may wish to check them in Wikipedia or elsewhere), we get

+64.6 = [(1/2)*(-1130.7) + (1/2)*(-393.5) + (1/2)*(-241.8)] - ΔHf(NaHCO3)

With the result that the enthalpy of formation of NaHCO3 is obtained as -947.6 kJ/mol.

Choose the pure substance from the list below. choose the pure substance from the list below. lemonade wine air juice salt

vfiekz [6]

I believe the answer is salt. because it is a compound of two distinct elements that can be broken down without changing the properties of substance.
A pure substance is a substance that are made up of only one type of an atom or one type of a molecule. Pure substances may be further broken down into elements and compounds.

Using this balanced equation: 2 NaOH + H2SO4 —> H2O + Na2SO4

mars1129 [50]

<h3>Answer:</h3>

266.325 g

<h3>Explanation:</h3>

We are given the balanced equation;

2NaOH + H₂SO₄ → H₂O + Na₂SO₄

Mass of NaOH as 150 g

We are required to determine the mass of Na₂SO₄ that will be formed.

<h3>Step 1: Determine the number of moles of NaOH</h3>

Moles = Mass ÷ molar mass

Molar mass of NaOH is 40.0 g/mol

Therefore;

Moles of NaOH = 150 g ÷ 40 g/mol

= 3.75 moles

<h3>Step 2: Determine the number of moles of sodium sulfate formed</h3>

From the equation 2 moles of NaOH reacts with sulfuric acid to form 1 mole of sodium sulfate.
Therefore; mole ratio of NaOH : Na₂SO₄ is 2 : 1

Thus, moles of Na₂SO₄ = Moles of NaOH ÷ 2

= 3.75 moles ÷ 2

= 1.875 moles

<h3>Step 3: Determine the mass of Na₂SO₄ produced.</h3>

we know that;

Mass = Moles × Molar mass

Molar mass of Na₂SO₄ is 142.04 g/mol

Therefore;

Mass of Na₂SO₄ = 1.875 moles × 142.04 g/mol

= 266.325 g

Thus, the mass of sodium sulfate formed 266.325 g

Sodium metal reacts with aluminum chloride to produce sodium chloride and aluminum. The balanced reaction is: 3 Na(s) + AlCl3(aq

andre [41]

First convert 12.0g of Na to moles using the grams to moles conversation and you get about .5219 moles (I didn't use significant figures). Divide that number by 3 because that is the coefficient of Na and you will get about .17398 moles, which is how many moles are in 1. Since Al has a coefficient of 1, .17398 woild be your final answer

Using the following combustion reaction, describe how it follows the laws of conservation of mass and energy. CH 4 +2O 2 CO 2 +2

AURORKA [14]

Answer:

Explanation:

The law of conservation of mass states that "mass in a system remains constant and that the mass of the product is remains the same as that of the reactants".

Law of conservation of energy states that "energy is neither created nor destroyed in the course of chemical or physical change but can be transformed from one form to another".

Let us properly write the equation:

CH₄ + 2O₂ → CO₂ + 2H₂O

For the conservation of mass:

C has 1mole on both sides

H has 4mole on both sides

O has 4 mole on both sides

For energy, during combustion process, the methane CH₄ burns to liberate heat energy. This is an energy conversion process in which chemical energy in methane releases heat energy.
