Lavoisier is known as the “Father of Modern Chemistry” or the “Father of Chemistry”.
He is famous for isolating oxygen and establishing the law of conservation of mass.
Atoms of the same element with different mass numbers are called isotopes
DE = dH - PdV
<span>2 H2O(g) → 2 H2(g) + O2(g) </span>
<span>You can see that there are 2 moles of gas in the reactants and 3 moles of gas in the products. </span>
<span>1 moles of ideal gas occupies the same volume as 1 mole of any other ideal gas under the same conditions of temp and pressure. </span>
<span>Since it is done under constant temp and pressure that means the volume change will be equal to the volume of 1 mole of gas </span>
<span>2 moles reacts to form 3 moles </span>
<span>The gas equation is </span>
<span>PV = nRT </span>
<span>P = pressure </span>
<span>V = volume (unknown) </span>
<span>n = moles (1) </span>
<span>R = gas constant = 8.314 J K^-1 mol^-1 </span>
<span>- the gas constant is different for different units of temp and pressure (see wikki link) in this case temp and pressure are constant, and we want to put the result in an equation that has Joules in it, so we select 8.314 JK^-1mol^-1) </span>
<span>T = temp in Kelvin (kelvin = deg C + 273.15 </span>
<span>So T = 403.15 K </span>
<span>Now, you can see that PV is on one side of the equation, and we are looking to put PdV in our dE equation. So we can say </span>
<span>dE = dH -dnRT (because PV = nRT) </span>
<span>Also, since the gas constant is in the unit of Joules, we need to convert dH to Joules </span>
<span>dH = 483.6 kJ/mol = 483600 Joules/mol </span>
<span>dE = 483600 J/mol - (1.0 mol x 8.314 J mol^-1K-1 x 403.15 K) </span>
<span>dE = 483600 J/mol - 3351.77 J </span>
<span>dE = 480248.23 J/mol </span>
<span>dE = 480.2 kJ/mol </span>
The balanced reaction that describes the reaction between sulfuric and sodium hydroxide to produce sodium sulfate and water is expressed <span>H2SO4 + 2NaOH → 2H2O + Na2SO4. When 65.5 grams of sodium hydroxide reacts with excess sulfur, we need first to convert the mass to moles and multiply by stoich ratio 2/2 or 1. Hence the moles is multiplied to the molar mass of water. The final answer is 29.475 grams water.</span>
