Answer:

Ice melts into liquid water- endothermic

A process with a calculated positive q - endothermic

Wood burns in a fireplace - exothermic

A process with a calculated negative q - exothermic

Acid and base are mixed, making test tube feel hot - exothermic

Solid dissolves into solution, making ice pack feel cold - endothermic

Explanation:

An endothermic process is one in which heat is absorbed from the surroundings. The absorption of heat means that heat is removed from the surroundings hence the surroundings feel cool. When heat is absorbed, q is positive.

An exothermic process is one in which heat is released to the surroundings. The evolution of heat means that heat is released into the surroundings hence the surroundings feel hot . When heat is evolved, q is negative.

A 0.055 mol sample of formaldehyde vapor, CH2O, was placed in a heated 500 mL vessel and some of it decomposed. The reaction is

Elis [28]

Answer:

Kc for this reaction is 0.06825

Explanation:

Step 1: Data given

Number of moles formaldehyde CH2O = 0.055 moles

Volume = 500 mL = 0.500 L

At equilibrium, the CH2O(g) concentration = 0.051 mol

Step 2: The balanced equation

CH2O <=> H2 + CO

Step 3: Calculate the initial concentrations

Concentration = moles / volume

[CH2O] = 0.055 moles . 0.500 L

[CH2O] = 0.11 M

[H2] = 0M

[CO] = 0M

Step 4: The concentration at the equilibrium

[CH2O] = 0.11 - X M = 0.051 M

[H2] = XM

[CO] = XM

[CH2O] = 0.11 - X M = 0.051 M

X = 0.11 - 0.051 = 0.059

[H2] = XM = 0.059 M

[CO] = XM = 0.059 M

Step 5: Calculate Kc

Kc = [H2][CO]/[CHO]

Kc = (0.059 * 0.059) / 0.051

Kc = 0.06825

Kc for this reaction is 0.06825

When a solution containing 1.4000 g of Ba(NO3)2 and 2.4000 g of HSO3NH2 is boiled, a precipitate forms. One possible identity fo

Marta_Voda [28]

Answer:

See explanation for detailed solution

Explanation:

The balanced reaction equation is Ba(NO3)2 + 2HSO3NH2 → Ba(SO3NH2)2 + 2HNO3

Number of moles of Ba(NO3)2 = 1.4 g/ 261.337 g/mol = 5.36 × 10^-3 moles

From the reaction equation;

1 mole of Ba(NO3)2 yields 1 mole of Ba(SO3NH2)2

5.36 × 10^-3 moles of Ba(NO3)2 yields 5.36 × 10^-3 moles of Ba(SO3NH2)2

For HSO3NH2

Number of moles = 2.4g/97.10 g/mol =0.0247 moles

2 moles of HSO3NH2 yields 1 mole of Ba(SO3NH2)2

0.0247 moles of HSO3NH2 yields 0.0247 ×1/2 = 0.0137 moles

Hence, Ba(NO3)2 is the limiting reactant

The theoretical yield of Ba(SO3NH2)2 is 5.36 × 10^-3 moles × 329.4986 g/mol = 1.766 g

Number of moles = mass/ molar mass

Molar mass = mass/ number of moles

Molar mass = 1.6925 g/5.36 × 10^-3 moles = 315.76 g

Tema [17]

A law is statement about an observed concept. A theory involves the explanation of scientific concepts or principles. A hypothesis is the predicted explanation about some concepts that has to be tested in order to prove it to be right. An observation is the observing the results of a scientific experiment carried out to test an hypothesis.

Here the given statement 'A chemist mixes sodium with water and witnesses a violent reaction between the metal and water,' can be classified as an observation as it explains what the chemists observes as a result of his chemical experiment or test..
