Answer: Option (C) is the correct answer.

Explanation:

When a glass of water is held in the refrigerator then kinetic energy of water molecules starts to decrease as there is less temperature in the freezer.

As a result, the water starts to convert into ice because kinetic energy of water molecules converts into potential energy.

Thus, we can conclude that out of the given options, the property ice has a lower freezing point than liquid water best explains why ice forms on its surface.

The addition of hydrochloric acid to a silver nitrate solution precipitates silver chloride according to the reaction:
Nimfa-mama [501]

Answer:

Enthalpy change for the reaction is -67716 J/mol.

Explanation:

Number of moles of AgNO_{3} in 50.0 mL of 0.100 M of AgNO_{3}

= Number of moles of HCl in 50.0 mL of 0.100 M of HCl

= \frac{0.100}{1000}\times 50.0 moles

= 0.00500 moles

According to balanced equation, 1 mol of AgNO_{3} reacts with 1 mol of HCl to form 1 mol of AgCl.

So, 0.00500 moles of AgNO_{3} react with 0.00500 moles of HCl to form 0.00500 moles of AgCl

Total volume of solution = (50.0+50.0) mL = 100.0 mL

So, mass of solution = (100.0\times 1.00) g = 100 g

Enthalpy change for the reaction = -(heat released during reaction)/(number of moles of AgCl formed)

= \frac{-m_{solution}\times C_{solution}\times \Delta T_{solution}}{0.00500mol}

= \frac{-100g\times 4.18\frac{J}{g.^{0}\textrm{C}}\times [24.21-23.40]^{0}\textrm{C}}{0.00500mol}

= -67716 J/mol

[m = mass, c = specific heat capacity, \Delta T = change in temperature and negative sign is included as it is an exothermic reaction]

Consider the reaction 2 al + Fe2O3 to 2Fe + Al2O3. If 60.0g of Al is reacted with excess Fe2O3, determine the amount (in moles)
olganol [36]

 The  amount  of  Al2O3  in moles=  1.11 moles    while in  grams   = 113.22 grams


    <em><u>calculation</u></em>

     2 Al  + Fe2O3 → 2Fe  + Al2O3

    step  1: find the moles of Al  by  use of <u><em>moles= mass/molar  mass  </em></u>formula

    =  60.0/27= 2.22  moles


    Step 2: use the mole ratio to determine the  moles of Al2O3.

 The  mole ratio  of Al : Al2O3 is  2: 1 therefore the moles of Al2O3= 2.22/2=1.11  moles


Step 3:    finds the mass  of  Al2O3  by us of  <u><em>mass= moles x molar mass</em></u><em> </em>formula.

The molar  mass of Al2O3  =  (2x27)  +( 16 x3) = 102  g/mol

mass is therefore=  102  g/mol  x 1.11= 113.22 grams
