While working in the chemistry lab, you dissolve 2.5g of sodium hydroxide chips into a beaker containing 50mL of water. As you p

ick up the beaker to add it to a separate solution, you notice the outside of the beaker is very warm. What explains this rise in temperature?

Answer:

The lattice enthalpy of sodium hydroxide is less than the sum of hydration enthalpies of hydroxide ions and sodium ions.

Explanation:

Lattice enthalpy is defined as heat energy required to break 1 mole of crystal lattice.

Hydration enthalpy is defined as amount energy released when 1 mole of ions undergo hydration (surrounding of water molecules).It is always negative.

Enthalpy of solution = Lattice enthalpy + hydration enthalpy

  • If amplitude of lattice enthalpy > hydration enthalpy , enthalpy of solution will positive.Hence, solution will feel cool.
  • If magnitude Lattice enthalpy < hydration enthalpy, enthalpy of solution will negative.Hence solution will feel warm or hot.

Reaction between sodium hydroxide and water is an example of an exothermic reaction. During this process sodium hydroxide dissociates into sodium ions and hydroxide ions into the water.

The rise in temperature is due to hydration enthalpy of hydroxide ions and sodium ions is greater than that of the lattice enthalpy of the sodium hydroxide. This is the reason behind the warmth of the sodium hydroxide solution.

Which of these elements is unlikely to have a reaction with any element or compound?
Kay [80]
Argon is a noble gas. Argon has a full outer shell. This makes it so that it does not need to react with any of the other elements to be stable.


With Rubidium and Cobalt its a whole different story.

I hope that helps!

A brick has a mass of 4.0 kg and the Earth has a mass of 6.0 × 1027 g. Use this information to answer the questions below. Be su
Vedmedyk [2.9K]

Answer:

a) 2.4\times 10^{24} kg is the mass of 1 mole of bricks.

b) 2.5\times 10^3 moles of bricks have a mass equal to the mass of the Earth.

Explanation:

a) Mass of brick = 4.0 kg

1 mole = N_A=6.022\times 10^{23} particles/ atoms/molecules

Mass of N_A bricks :

=6.022\times 10^{23}\times 4.0 kg=2.4088\times 10^{24} kg\approx 2.4\times 10^{24} kg

2.4\times 10^{24} kg is the mass of 1 mole of bricks.

b)

Mass of the Earth = M = 6.0\times 10^{27} kg

Mass of 1 mole of brick = m=2.4\times 10^{24} kg

Let the moles of brick with equal mass of the Earth be x.

m\times x=M

x=\frac{M}{m}=\frac{6.0\times 10^{27}kg}{2.4\times 10^{24} kg}=2.5\times 10^3

2.5\times 10^3 moles of bricks have a mass equal to the mass of the Earth.

svet-max [94.6K]
From the given pH, we calculate the concentration of H+:
     [H+] = 10^-pH = 10^-5.5
We then use the volume to solve for the number of moles of H+:
     moles H+ = 10^-5.5M * 4.3x10^9 L =  13598 moles
From the balanced equation of the neutralization of hydrogen ion by limestone written as
     CaCO3(s) + 2H+(aq)  → Ca2+(aq) + H2CO3(aq)
we use the mole ratio of limestone CaCO3 and H+ from their coefficients, which is 1 mole of CaCO3 is to react with 2 moles of H+, to compute for the mass of the limestone:
     mass CaCO3 = 13598mol H+(1mol CaCO3/2mol H+)
                               (100.0869g CaCO3/1mol CaCO3)(1kg/1000g) 
                            = 680 kg
