Measurements show that the enthalpy of a mixture of gaseous reactants increases by 215. kJ during a certain chemical reaction, w

hich is carried out at a constant pressure. Furthermore, by carefully monitoring the volume change it is determined that -155. kJ of work is done on the mixture during the reaction.
Calculate the change in energy of the gas mixture during the reaction. Round your answer to 2 significant digits.


Is the reaction exothermic or endothermic?

Answer:

1. The change in energy is 60KJ or 6.0 × 10^1 KJ

2. Endothermic reaction

Explanation:

The Enthalpy (ΔU) for the mixture is given as 215kJ and the workdone (W) on the mixture is - 155KJ. Hence, the change in the energy (ΔH) ofthe mixture is computed using the equation below:

ΔH = ΔU + w

Where,

ΔH= Change in energy

ΔU= Enthalpy change

W= workdone

Therefore ΔH is:

ΔH= 215 kJ + (-155Kj)

ΔH= 60 KJ

Therefore, the change in energy is 60KJ or 6.0 × 10^1 KJ

The value is positive so it is an endothermic reaction.

An endothermic reaction happens when the energy used to break the bonds in the reactants is higher than the energy given out when bonds are formed in the products. This means that the entire reaction takes in energy, hence there is a temperature decrease in the surroundings. Endothermic reactions cannot happen spontaneously. Work is usually done in order to get these reactions to occur. When endothermic reactions absorb energy, a temperature drop is measured by the reaction.

A mixture contains only nacl and al2(so4)3. a 1.45 g sample of the mixture is dissolved in water, and an excess of naoh is added
Aleks [24]

When mixture of NaCl and Al₂(SO₄)₃ is allowed to react with excess NaOH, only Al₂(SO₄)₃ reacts with it and NaCl does not react with NaOH due to presence of common ion (Na⁺). On reaction gelatinous precipitate of aluminium hydroxide [Al(OH)₃] is produced.  The balanced chemical reaction is represented as-

Al₂(SO₄)₃ + 6NaOH → 2Al(OH)₃ + 3Na₂SO₄

On this reaction, 0.495 g = 0.495/78 moles =6.346 X 10⁻³ moles of Al(OH)₃.

As per balanced reaction, two moles of Al(OH)₃ is produced from one mole Al₂(SO₄)₃. So, 6.346 X 10⁻³ moles of Al(OH)₃ is produced from (6.346 X 10⁻³)/2 moles=3.173 X 10⁻³ moles of Al₂(SO₄)₃= 3.173 X 10⁻³ X 342 g of Al₂(SO₄)₃=1.085 g of Al₂(SO₄)₃.

So, mass percentage of Al₂(SO₄)₃ is= (amount of Al₂(SO₄)₃/total amount of mixture)X100 = \frac{1.085 X 100}{1.45} =74.8 %.
