Answer:
water has a high specific heat
Explanation:
this should work as an answer
Answer:
3.43×10¹ mol
Explanation:
Given data:
Initial number of moles = 12.4 mol
Initial volume = 122.8 L
Final number of moles = ?
Final volume = 339.2 L
Solution:
The number of moles and volume are directly proportional to each other at same temperature and pressure.
V₁/n₁ = V₂/n₂
122.8 L/ 12.4 mol = 339.2 L / n₂
n₂ = 339.2 L× 12.4 mol / 122.8 L
n₂ = 4206.08 L.mol /122.8 L
n₂ = 34.3mol
In scientific notation:
3.43×10¹ mol
Explanation:
The reaction equation will be as follows.

Hence, moles of Na = moles of electron used
Therefore, calculate the number of moles of sodium as follows.
No. of moles = 
=
(as 1 kg = 1000 g)
= 195.65 mol
As, Q =
where F = Faraday's constant
= 
=
mol C
Relation between electrical energy and Q is as follows.
E = 
Hence, putting the given values into the above formula and then calculate the value of electricity as follows.
E = 
= 
= 
As 1 J =
kWh
Hence,
kWh
= 3.39 kWh
Thus, we can conclude that 3.39 kilowatt-hours of electricity is required in the given situation.
Answer : The internal energy change is -2805.8 kJ/mol
Explanation :
First we have to calculate the heat gained by the calorimeter.

where,
q = heat gained = ?
c = specific heat = 
= final temperature = 
= initial temperature = 
Now put all the given values in the above formula, we get:


Now we have to calculate the enthalpy change during the reaction.

where,
= enthalpy change = ?
q = heat gained = 23.4 kJ
n = number of moles fructose = 

Therefore, the enthalpy change during the reaction is -2805.8 kJ/mole
Now we have to calculate the internal energy change for the combustion of 1.501 g of fructose.
Formula used :

or,

where,
= change in enthalpy = 
= change in internal energy = ?
= change in moles = 0 (from the reaction)
R = gas constant = 8.314 J/mol.K
T = temperature = 
Now put all the given values in the above formula, we get:




Therefore, the internal energy change is -2805.8 kJ/mol
Answer:
b) The dehydrated sample absorbed moisture after heating
Explanation:
a) Strong initial heating caused some of the hydrate sample to splatter out.
This will result in a higher percent of water than the real one, because you assume in the calculation that the splattered sample was only water (which in not true).
b) The dehydrated sample absorbed moisture after heating.
Usually inorganic salts may absorbed moisture from the atmosphere so this will explain the 13% difference between calculated water percent the real content of water in the hydrate.
c) The amount of the hydrate sample used was too small.
It will create some errors but they do not create a difference of 13% difference as stated in the problem.
d) The crucible was not heated to constant mass before use.
Here the error is small.
e) Excess heating caused the dehydrated sample to decompose.
Usually the inorganic compounds are stable in the temperature range of this kind of experiments. If you have an organic compound which retain water molecules you may decompose the sample forming volatile compounds which will leave crucible so the error will be quite high.
