explain why it is a common laboratory procedure to heat analytical reagents and store them in a dessicated atmosphere (a sealed

environment containing a dehumidifying agent) before use.

Explanation:

Most reagent forms are going to absorb water from the air; they're called "hygroscopic".  Water presence can have a drastic impact on the experiment being performed  For fact, it increases the reagent's molecular weight, meaning that anything involving a very specific molarity (the amount of molecules in the final solution) will not function properly.

Heating will help to eliminate water, although some chemicals don't react well to heat, so it shouldn't be used for all.  A dessicated environment is simply a means to  "dry."  That allows the reagent with little water in the air to attach with.

Answer:

The amount of heat absorbed is <u>5.183889 kJ</u>  .

Explanation:

In conversion of water to ice it rejects some heat while in conversion of ice to water it absorbs heat which is called latent heat which is given as 6.02 kJ/mol.

The amount of ice given is 15.5 g.

Converting it to moles as the latent heat is given in per moles:

\frac{given\\weight \\ (in\\grams)}{molecular\\weight\\(in\\grams)}

Molecular mass of Hydrogen (H) and Oxygen (O) is 1 u and 16 u respectively.

Molecular mass of water is 18 g ( H_{2} O ⇒  2*1+16=18 ).

mole = 15.5/18 ≈ 0.8611 moles

Therefore the amount of heat absorbed by 15.5 g of ice ( 0.8611 moles) = <em>Latent heat * moles </em>

Heat absorbed = 6.02*0.8611

             = 6.02*(15.5/18)

             ≈  5.183889 kJ
