Answer:
1.2 × 10⁴ cal
Explanation:
Given data
- Initial temperature: 80 °C
We can calculate the heat released by the water (
) when it cools using the following expression.

where
c is the specific heat capacity of water (1 cal/g.°C)

According to the law of conservation of energy, the sum of the heat released by the water (
) and the heat absorbed by the reaction (
) is zero.

The balanced chemical
reaction will be:
2H2O = 2H2 + O2
<span>We are given the amount of water used in the decomposition reaction. This will be our
starting point.</span>
<span>17.0 g H2O</span> (1 mol H2O/ 18.02 g H2O) (1 mol O2/2
mol <span>H2O</span>) ( 32.00 g O2/1mol O2) = 15.09 g O2
Percent yield = actual yield / theoretical yield x 100
<span>Percent yield =10.2 g / 15.09 g
x 100</span>
Percent yield = 67.58%
KI-starch paper allows the detection of strong oxidizers such as nitrite. It is used here to control diazotization of 4-nitroaniline. Nitrite oxidizes potassium iodide in order to form elemental iodine which reacts with starch to a blue-violet complex. With KI-starch paper, enough sodium nitrite is added to produce nitrous acid, which <span>then will react with 4-nitroaniline to form a diazonium salt.</span>
The balanced equation for the above reaction is as follows;
Mg + 2HCl ---> MgCl₂ + H₂
stoichiometry of HCl to MgCl₂ is 2:1
we have been told that Mg is in excess therefore HCl is the limiting reactant
number of HCl moles reacted - 0.100 mol/L x 0.0256 L = 0.00256 mol
according to molar ratio, number of MgCl₂ moles formed - 0.00256/2
Therefore number of MgCl₂ moles formed - 0.00128 mol
mass of MgCl formed - 0.00128 mol x 95.20 g/mol = 0.122 g
