Some instant cold packs contain ammonium nitrate and a separate pouch of water. When the pack is activated by squeezing to break

the water pouch, the ammonium nitrate dissolves in water and the pack gets cold. The heat of solution for ammonium nitrate is 25.4 kJ/mol.
a) Is the dissolution of ammonium nitrate endothermic or exothermic?
b) A cold pack contains 135.0 g of water and 50.0 g of ammonium nitrate. What will be the final temperature of the activated cold pack, if the initial temperature is 25.0 degree C? (Assume that the specific heat of the solution is the same as that for water, 4.184 J/g degree C and no heat is lost).

Answer:

T_f=-7.81^0C

Explanation:

Hello,

a) In this case, since the heat associated with the dissolution of ammonium nitrate is positive, such reaction is endothermic as it absorbs heat.

b) Now, for computing the temperature once the dissolution is done, we apply (considering that it is a cooling process):

T_f=T_0-\frac{\Delta H}{mCp}

Nonetheless, we should first compute the moles of the mixture as:

n_{mix}=135.0gH_2O*\frac{1molH_2O}{18gH_2O}+50.0gNH_4NO_3*\frac{1molNH_4NO_3}{80gNH_4NO_3}=8.125mol

Thus, the total absorbed heat is:

\Delta H=25.4kJ/mol*8.125mol=206.375kJ

Now, the temperature is:

T_f=25.0^0C-\frac{25.4kJ}{(135.0+50.0)g*4.184x10^{-3}kJ/g^0C} \\\\T_f=-7.81^0C

Best regards.

How much positive charge is in 1.4 kg of oxygen? The atomic weight (15.9994 g) of oxygen contains Avogadro’s number of atoms, wi
Cerrena [4.2K]

Answer:

6.7511\times 10^7\ C

Explanation:

The atomic weight of oxygen = 15.9994 g

This mass corresponds to 1 mole of the oxygen atoms.

Thus,

15.9994 g mass of oxygen contains 6.02\times 10^{23} atoms of oxygen.

1.4 kg = 1400 g ( 1 kg = 1000 g)

So,

1400 g mass of oxygen contains \frac {6.02\times 10^{23}}{15.9994}\times 1400 atoms of oxygen.

Number of atoms in 1400 g of oxygen = 526.769754\times 10^{23}

Also, 1 atom of oxygen contains 8 protons

Charge of 1 proton = + 1.602\times 10^{-19}\ C

So, Charge on 1 atom of oxygen = 8\times 1.602\times 10^{-19}\ C

Thus,

Charge on 526.769754\times 10^{23} atoms of oxygen = 526.94476\times 10^{23}\times 8\times 1.602\times 10^{-19}\ C=6.7533\times 10^7\ C

Thus, positive charge in 1.4 kg of oxygen = 6.7511\times 10^7\ C

What property of a liquid is used when petrol, ( gasoline) is pumped from the tank to the engine of a car? I need answers!!!!
Romashka-Z-Leto [24]
In many modern cars the fuel pump is usually electric and located inside the fuel tank. The pump creates positive pressure in the fuel lines, pushing the gasoline to the engine. The higher gasoline pressure raises the boiling point.

Calculate the number of mg of Mn2+ left
soldi70 [24.7K]

Answer:

1.930 * 10⁻⁹ mg of Mn⁺² are left unprecipitated.

Explanation:

The reaction that takes place is:

Mn⁺² + S⁻² ⇄ MnS(s)  

ksp = [Mn⁺²] [S⁻²]

If the pksp of MnS is 13.500, then the ksp is:

ksp=10^{-13.500}=3.1623*10^{-14}

From the problem we know that [S⁻²] = 0.0900 M

We use the ksp to calculate [Mn⁺²]:

3.1623*10⁻¹⁴= [Mn⁺²] * 0.0900 M

[Mn⁺²] = 3.514 * 10⁻¹³ M.

Now we can calculate the mass of Mn⁺², using the volume, concentration and atomic weight. Thus the mass of Mn⁺² left unprecipitated is:

3.514 * 10⁻¹³ M * 0.1 L * 54.94 g/mol = 1.930 * 10⁻¹² g = 1.930 * 10⁻⁹ mg.

Why is it important to check the conductivity and pH of pure water for comparison
frozen [14]

it is important to check the conductivity and pH of pure water to:


1- to check the purity of water and if it healthy or not , and the water source.


2- we have to measure the PH to know the alkalinity or acidity of water. If the PH > 7 so it is acidic , if PH < 7 so it is alkaline.


3- we have to measure the conductivity of the water as it is an indication for the impurity level. and it shouldn't be high to keep the water healthy.
