You can put a known amount sodium into some sort of time release mechanism such as a pill made from soluble material. Then you can place the sodium into a calorimeter with a known mass of water and record the temperature change the water undergoes during the reaction. Then you can use the equation q(water)=m(water)c(water)ΔT to find the amount of heat absorbed by the water. since the amount of heat absorbed by the water is the amount of heat released from the sodium, q(sodium)=-q(water). Than you can use the equation q(sodium)=m(sodium)c(sodium)ΔT and solve for c(sodium)
I hope this helps and feel free to ask about anything that was unclear in the comments.
The kind of thermochemical equation represented below
that is
CaO(s) + H2O (l) = Ca(OH)2 (s) +65.2 kj
is exothermic ( answer B)
This is because its heat energy has a + sign meaning that heat is released by the reaction above.

Answer:</h3>
= 5.79 × 10^19 molecules
<h3>
Explanation:</h3>
The molar mass of the compound is 312 g/mol
Mass of the compound is 30.0 mg equivalent to 0.030 g (1 g = 1000 mg)
We are required to calculate the number of molecules present
We will use the following steps;
<h3>Step 1: Calculate the number of moles of the compound </h3>

Therefore;
Moles of the compound will be;

= 9.615 × 10⁻5 mole
<h3>Step 2: Calculate the number of molecules present </h3>
Using the Avogadro's constant, 6.022 × 10^23
1 mole of a compound contains 6.022 × 10^23 molecules
Therefore;
9.615 × 10⁻5 moles of the compound will have ;
= 9.615 × 10⁻5 moles × 6.022 × 10^23 molecules
= 5.79 × 10^19 molecules
Therefore the compound contains 5.79 × 10^19 molecules
