A calorimeter contains 500 g of water at 25°C. You place a hand warmer containing 100 g of liquid sodium acetate (NaAC) inside t

he calorimeter. When the sodium acetate finishes crystallizing, the temperature of the water inside the calorimeter is 32.2°C. The specific heat of water is
4.18 J/g-°C. What is the enthalpy of fusion (ΔHf) of the sodium acetate? Show your work.

Answer:The enthalpy of fusion (ΔH_f) of the sodium acetate is 12.344 kJ/mol.

Explanation:

Heat absorbed by the water: Q

Change in temperature of water,\Delta T=32.2^oC-25^oC=7.2^oC

Specific heat of water = 4.18 J/g°C

Mass of water = m= 500 g

Q=500 g\times 4.18 J/g ^oC\times 7.2^oC=15,048 J

\Delta H_f is the heat energy required to melt the one mole of substance.

When 200 g of sodium acetate crystallizes it gave 15,048 Joules of heat which was absorbed by the water in calorimeter.

NaAC(l)\rightarrow NaAC(s),\Delta H_f=?

Moles of NaAC=\frac{100 g}{82.03 g.mol}=1.2190 mol

\Delta H_f=\frac{15,048 J}{1.2190 mol}=12,344 J/mol=12.344 kJ/mol

The enthalpy of fusion (ΔH_f) of the sodium acetate is 12.344 kJ/mol.

The heat absorbed by the water is
Q = 500 (4.18) (32.2 - 25)
Q = 15048 J

The enthalpy of fusion of the sodium acetate is:
<span>ΔHf = Q / m
</span><span>ΔHf = 15048 / 100
</span>ΔHf = 150.48 J/g

In the following reaction, eight moles of sodium hydroxide is broken down into four moles of sodium oxide and four moles of wate
maxonik [38]

Answer:

21.344%

Explanation:

For the given chemical reaction, 8 moles of the reactant should produce 4 moles of Na_{2}O. However, 195 g of Na_{2}O was produced instead. The molar mass of Na_{2}O is 61.9789 g/mol.

Thus, the moles of Na_{2}O produced = 195/61.9789 = 3.1462 moles

The percent error = [(Actual -Experiment)/Actual]*100%

The percent error =  [(4.00 - 3.1462)/4.00]*100% = (0.85376/4.00)*100% = 21.344%

If 3.64g of sand is separated from 5.25g of a mixture of salt and sand what is the percentage of sand in the sample
Mashcka [7]
Total weight of the mixture of sand and salt = 5.25 g
Weight of sand separated = 3.64 g
Weight of the salt in the mixture = (5.25 - 3.64) g
                                                   = 1.61 g
Then the percentage of sand in the sample = [(3.64/5.25) * 100] percent
                                                                      = 69.33%
So the percentage of sand in the total mixture of sand and salt is 69.33%.

Lionel places red blood cells in a beaker of pure water, and then he observes their
scZoUnD [109]

Answer:

The red blood cells will burst

Explanation:

When the red blood cells are placed in pure water, they will gain water by osmosis, swell and finally burst due to their weak cell membranes. This process is referred to as hemolysis.
