When 21.45 g of KNO3 was dissolved in water in a calorimeter, the temperature fell from 25.00°C to 14.14 °C. If the heat capacit

y is 0.505KJ/°C, what will be the delta H for the solution process.

25.9 kJ/mol. (3 sig. fig. as in the heat capacity.)

<h3>Explanation</h3>

The process:

\text{KNO}_3\;(s) \to \text{KNO}_3\;(aq).

How many moles of this process?

Relative atomic mass from a modern periodic table:

  • K: 39.098;
  • N: 14.007;
  • O: 15.999.

Molar mass of \text{KNO}_3:

M(\text{KNO}_3) = 39.098 + 14.007 + 3\times 15.999 = 101.102\;\text{g}\cdot\text{mol}^{-1}.

Number of moles of the process = Number of moles of \text{KNO}_3 dissolved:

\displaystyle n = \frac{m}{M} = \frac{21.45}{101.102} = 0.212162\;\text{mol}.

What's the enthalpy change of this process?

Q = C\cdot \Delta T = 0.505 \times (25.00 - 14.14) = 5.4843\;\text{kJ} for 0.212162\;\text{mol}. By convention, the enthalpy change \Delta H measures the energy change for each mole of a process.

\displaystyle \Delta H = \frac{Q}{n} = \frac{5.4843\text{kJ}}{0.212162\;\text{mol}} = 25.8\;\text{kJ}\cdot\text{mol}^{-1}.

The heat capacity is the least accurate number in these calculation. It comes with three significant figures. As a result, round the final result to three significant figures. However, make sure you keep at least one additional figure to minimize the risk of rounding errors during the calculation.

Which statement describes the masses of the particles that make up an atom?
Novay_Z [31]
The mass of the atom is equal to the sum of the number of protons and the number of neutrons. In a neutral atom, the number of protons is equal to the number of electrons.  The atomic number meanwhile of an atom is equal to the number of protons of the atom.

Answer:

Industrialization has historically led to urbanization by creating economic growth and job opportunities that draw people to cities. Urbanization typically begins when a factory or multiple factories are established within a region, thus creating a high demand for factory labor.

Water's heat of fusion is 80. cal/g , its specific heat is 1.0calg⋅∘C, and its heat of vaporization is 540 cal/g . A canister is
Pani-rosa [81]
<span>294400 cal The heating of the water will have 3 phases 1. Melting of the ice, the temperature will remain constant at 0 degrees C 2. Heating of water to boiling, the temperature will rise 3. Boiling of water, temperature will remain constant at 100 degrees C So, let's see how many cal are needed for each phase. We start with 320 g of ice and 100 g of liquid, both at 0 degrees C. We can ignore the liquid and focus on the ice only. To convert from the solid to the liquid, we need to add the heat of fusion for each gram. So multiply the amount of ice we have by the heat of fusion. 80 cal/g * 320 g = 25600 cal Now we have 320 g of ice that's been melted into water and the 100 g of water we started with, resulting in 320 + 100 = 420 g of water at 0 degrees C. We need to heat that water to 100 degrees C 420 * 100 = 42000 cal Finally, we have 420 g of water at the boiling point. We now need to pump in an additional 540 cal/g to boil it all away. 420 g * 540 cal/g = 226800 cal So the total number of cal used is 25600 cal + 42000 cal + 226800 cal = 294400 cal</span>
