Calculate δg o for each reaction using δg of values:(a) h2(g) + i2(s) → 2hi(g) kj (b) mno2(s) + 2co(g) → mn(s) + 2co2(g) kj (c)
steposvetlana [31]
Part (a) :
H₂(g) + I₂(s) → 2 HI(g)
From given table:
G HI = + 1.3 kJ/mol
G H₂ = 0
G I₂ = 0
ΔG = G(products) - G(reactants) = 2 (1.3) = 2.6 kJ/mol

Part (b):
MnO₂(s) + 2 CO(g) → Mn(s) + 2 CO₂(g)
G MnO₂ = - 465.2
G CO = -137.16
G CO₂ = - 394.39
G Mn = 0
ΔG = G(products) - G(reactants) = (1(0) + 2*-394.39) - (-465.2 + 2*-137.16) = - 49.3 kJ/mol

Part (c):
NH₄Cl(s) → NH₃(g) + HCl(g)
ΔG = ΔH - T ΔS
ΔG = (H(products) - H(reactants)) - 298 * (S(products) - S(reactants))
      = (-92.31 - 45.94) - (-314.4) - (298 k) * (192.3 + 186.8 - 94.6) J/K
      = 176.15 kJ - 84.78 kJ = 91.38 kJ

Determine the specific heat ofmaterial if a 12g sample absorbed 48j as it was heated from 20-40
devlian [24]

Answer:

c =0.2 J/g.°C

Explanation:

Given data:

Specific heat of material = ?

Mass of sample = 12 g

Heat absorbed = 48 J

Initial temperature = 20°C

Final temperature = 40°C

Solution:

Specific heat capacity:

It is the amount of heat required to raise the temperature of one gram of substance by one degree.

Formula:

Q = m.c. ΔT

Q = amount of heat absorbed or released

m = mass of given substance

c = specific heat capacity of substance

ΔT = change in temperature

ΔT =  40°C -20°C

ΔT =  20°C

48 J = 12 g×c×20°C

48 J =240 g.°C×c

c = 48 J/240 g.°C

c =0.2 J/g.°C
