Large objects that form dense gravity wells in place PLZ HELP ME !

A gravity well is the pull of gravity that a large body in space exerts. The larger the body (the more mass) the more of a gravity well it has. The Sun has a large (or deep) gravity well. Asteroids and small moons have much shallower gravity wells. Anything on a planet or moon is considered to be at the bottom of the gravity well. Entering space from the surface of a planet or moon means climbing out of the gravity well, something that often takes a huge amount of energy. The larger a planet or moon's gravity well is, the more energy it takes to achieve escape velocity and blast a ship off of it.

Sodium metal reacts with water to produce hydrogen gas and sodium hydroxide according to the chemical equation shown below.

UNO [17]

Answer: The enthalpy change of the reaction is -361.6 kJ

Explanation:

To calculate the number of moles, we use the equation:

$\text{Number of moles}=\frac{\text{Given mass}}{\text{Molar mass}}$

Moles of sodium = 0.025 moles

Molar mass of sodium = 23 g/mol

Putting values in above equation, we get:

$0.025mol=\frac{\text{Mass of sodium}}{23g/mol}\\\\\text{Mass of sodium}=(0.025mol\times 23g/mol)=0.575g$

We are given:

Mass of water = 100.00 g

Mass of sodium = 0.575 g

Mass of solution = 100.00 + 0.575 = 100.575 g

To calculate the amount of heat absorbed, we use the equation:

$q=m\times C\times \Delta T$

where,

q = amount of heat absorbed = ?

m = mass of solution = 100.575 g

C = specific heat capacity of solution = 4.18 J/g°C

$\Delta T$ = change in temperature = $(T_2-T_1)=(35.75-25.00)=10.75^oC$

Putting all the values in above equation, we get:

$q=100.575g\times 4.18J/g^oC\times 10.75^oC=4519.34J=4.52kJ$

When heat is absorbed by the solution, this means that heat is getting released by the reaction.

Sign convention of heat:

When heat is absorbed, the sign of heat is taken to be positive and when heat is released, the sign of heat is taken to be negative.

For the given chemical reaction:

$2Na(s)+2H_2O(l)\rightarrow NaOH(aq.)+H_2(g)$

When 0.025 moles of sodium is reacted, the heat released by the reaction is 4.52 kJ

So, when 2 moles of sodium will react, the heat released by the reaction will be = $\frac{4.52}{0.025}\times 2=361.6kJ$

Hence, the enthalpy change of the reaction is -361.6 kJ

Convert 0.02 g/mL to the unit g/L.

Elenna [48]

I don't know but I think that 0.02 g/mL is 20 g/L because you multiply the 0.02 by a 100. That's how you get the Gram liter

Identify the characteristics of a good recrystallization solvent. Select one or more: Dissolves a chemical sample well at high t

borishaifa [10]

Answer:

Dissolves a chemical sample well at high temperatures.

Does not dissolve a chemical sample well at low temperatures.

Explanation:

Recrystallization involves the dissolution of the solute in a solvent at high temperature. As the solution cools, it becomes saturated and the solute crystallizes out of the solution.

A good recrystallization solvent must only dissolve the solute at high temperature and must not dissolve it at low temperature. Hence, these are the two conditions required for any good recrystallization solvent.
