To take the percent by mass of this element, we use the
formula:
% mass = (mass of element / mass of ore) * 100%
% mass = (47.5 g / (660 kg * 1000 g / kg)) * 100*
<span>% mass = 7.20 x 10^-3 %</span>
Answer:
ΔHrxn = - 1534.3 J
Explanation:
Given the assumptions and the formula for the change in enthalpy:
ΔHrxn = m x C x ΔT, where
m is the mass of solution given 135.4 g
C is the heat capacity 4.2 J/g .K and,
ΔT is the change in temperature
we have ,
T₁ = ( 18.1 + 273) K = 291.1 K
T₂ = ( 15.4 +273) K = 288.4 K
ΔHrxn = 135.3 g x 4.2 J/gK x ( 288.4 -291.1 ) K = - 1534.3 J
After verifying our result has the correct unit, the answer is -1534.3 Joules, and the negative sign tells us it is an endothermic reaction decreasing the final temperature.
