Answer:

$\boxed {\boxed {\sf 8.2 \ grams}}$

Explanation:

According to the Law of Conservation of Mass, the mass of the products must equal the mass of the reactants.

mass products = mass reactants

In this problem, the reaction is:

$iron + oxygen = ferric \ oxygen$

The reactants are iron and oxygen. We know the mass of the iron sample is 10 grams.

The product is ferric oxide. The mass of the ferric oxide sample is 18.2 grams.

$10 \ g + oxygen=18.2 \ g$

We want to find how many grams of oxygen reacted. We have to get the oxygen by itself. 10 is being added to oxygen. The inverse of addition is subtraction. Subtract 10 from both sides of the equation.

$10 \ g - 10 \ g+ oxygen = 18.2 \ g - 10 \ g$

$oxygen= 18.2 \ g - 10 \ g$

$oxygen= 8.2 \ g \\$

8.2 grams of oxygen reacted with 10 grams of iron to form 18.2 grams of ferric oxide.

If ice is warmed and becomes a liquid, which type of process is it?

ser-zykov [4K]

If ice is warmed and becomes a liquid, the process is endothermic.

The process requires heat in order to proceed. If ice stays in a very cold place, it will not melt unless it's heated. If ice is placed outside where it melts on its own, it gets the heat from the surroundings.

Enthalpy change depends on the rate at which a substance is heated or cooled true or false

Dahasolnce [82]

Enthalpy is a thermodynamic quantity that describes the heat content of a system, that can not be measured directly. That's why we measure change in enthaply, measured in the units joules. The statement that enthalpy change depends on the rate at which a substance is heated or cooled is false. Enthalpy change depends only on the following factors:
-physical state of reactants and products
- quantity of reactants
- allotropic modifications
- temperature and pressure

The following thermochemical equation is for the reaction of sodium(s) with water(l) to form sodium hydroxide(aq) and hydrogen(g

ra1l [238]

Answer:

1) When 6.97 grams of sodium(s) react with excess water(l), 56.0 kJ of energy are evolved.

2) When 10.4 grams of carbon monoxide(g) react with excess water(l), 1.04 kJ of energy are absorbed.

Explanation:

1) The following thermochemical equation is for the reaction of sodium(s) with water(l) to form sodium hydroxide(aq) and hydrogen(g).

2 Na(s) + 2H₂O(l) ⇒ 2NaOH(aq) + H₂(g) ΔH = -369 kJ

The enthalpy of the reaction is negative, which means that 369 kJ of energy are evolved per 2 moles of sodium. The energy evolved for 6.97 g of Na (molar mass 22.98 g/mol) is:

$6.97g.\frac{1mol}{22.98g} .\frac{-369kJ}{2mol} =-56.0kJ$

2) The following thermochemical equation is for the reaction of carbon monoxide(g) with water(l) to form carbon dioxide(g) and hydrogen(g).

CO(g) + H₂O(l) ⇒ CO₂(g) + H₂(g) ΔH = 2.80 kJ

The enthalpy of the reaction is positive, which means that 2.80 kJ of energy are absorbed per mole of carbon monoxide. The energy evolved for 10.4 g of CO (molar mass 28.01 g/mol) is:

$10.4g.\frac{1mol}{28.01g} .\frac{2.80kJ}{mol} =1.04kJ$
