Commercially available cold packs are simple in design: a pouch with water on one side, isolated by a barrier from a specific sa

lt on the other side. When the barrier is broken, the salt and water mix and the solution turns cold. Select which of the statements is true about the reaction occurring in cold packs. O The reaction between the salt and water is endothermic. O The reaction between the salt and water is exothermic. O The reaction between the salt and water is neither endothermic nor exothermic. The cold pack releases heat into the environment. #8

Answer:

The reaction between the salt and water is endothermic

Explanation:

An endothermic reaction is one that absorbs heat from the surrounding creating a kind of coldness in the immediate environment of the reaction. The direct opposite of endothermic reaction is exothermic reaction, a reaction that dissipates heat to the immediate surrounding of the reaction.

Commercial cold packs works based on the principle of endothermic reaction. The packs are usually made up of water and ammonium nitrate salts isolated by easily breakable barriers. The dissolution of ammonium nitrate salts in water is generally endothermic.

In order to make use of the cold pack, a force needs to be applied to the pack in order to break the barrier separating the water and the ammonium salt. The water-ammonium salt mixture creates an endothermic reaction which immediately lowers the temperature of the resulting solution to about 35 F for a period of 10 to 15 minutes.

The percent yield of this reaction is consistently 92.0%. CH4(g) + 4 S(g) → CS2(g) + 2 H2S(g) How many grams of sulfur would be
dybincka [34]

Answer:

132.17 g

Explanation:

The reaction given , in the question is -

    CH₄ (g ) + 4 S ( g ) ---> CS₂ ( g ) + 2H₂S  ( g )

From the reaction , 4 mole of S is required for the production of 1 mole of  CS₂ .

since ,

Moles of  CS₂  = given mass of CS₂ / Molecular weight  of  CS₂

Since ,

the Molecular weight of  CS₂ = 76

Given ,  mass of CS₂ =  72.57 g

Moles of  CS₂ = 72.57  / 76 = 0.95 mol

Since ,

The yield is 92.0 % .

Moles of S required = 4 * 0.95 mol / 0.92 = 4.13 moles

Mass of S required = 4.13 * 32 = 132.17 g .
