Answer:

36.55kJ/mol

Explanation:

The heat of solution is the change in heat when the KNO3 dissolves in water:

KNO3(aq) → K+(aq) + NO3-(aq)

As the temperature decreases, the reaction is endothermic and the molar heat of solution is positive.

To solve the molar heat we need to find the moles of KNO3 dissolved and the change in heat as follows:

<em>Moles KNO3 -Molar mass: 101.1032g/mol-</em>

10.6g * (1mol/101.1032g) = 0.1048 moles KNO3

<em>Change in heat:</em>

q = m*S*ΔT

<em>Where q is heat in J,</em>

<em>m is the mass of the solution: 10.6g + 251.0g = 261.6g</em>

S is specififc heat of solution: 4.184J/g°C -Assuming is the same than pure water-

And ΔT is change in temperature: 25°C - 21.5°C = 3.5°C

q = 261.6g*4.184J/g°C*3.5°C

q = 3830.87J

<em>Molar heat of solution:</em>

3830.87J/0.1048 moles KNO3 =

36554J/mol =

<h3>36.55kJ/mol</h3>

The process that makes atmospheric nitrogen available to plants by mutualistic and free-living bacteria is called
artcher [175]
Nitrogen fixation is the process that makes atmospheric nitrogen available to plants by mutualistic and free-living bacteria. The process is undertaken by the rhizobium bacteria that live in root roots of plants such as legumes. The mutualistic relationship is that the plant supplies the bacteria with a habitat in which to live, water, and nutrients, and the bacteria supply nitrogen for making plant proteins.

Is o-toluic acid soluble in ether, NaOH?, Is Napthalene soluble in NaOH?
natima [27]
Yes, o-toluic acid is soluble in ether as ether is slightly polar and it is soluble in NaOH because it is likely to form soluble compounds with it.

Naphthalene is insoluble in NaOH.

What is the best way to organize desert several several million different types of organisms on earth
SCORPION-xisa [38]

Answer:

The desert should be divided into different types based on its properties. The organisms living in specific type of desert should be named accordingly.

Explanation:

There are usually five major types of desert in the world. Tropical, rainy, semi arid desert, coastal desert and dry desert. There are many different types of organisms living in these deserts. The biodiversity has made it difficult for the humans to analyse and identify the millions of different types. The best way is to organize and name the organisms that live in specific types of deserts.

Which is a postulate of the kinetic molecular theory of gases? Despite being very small, the volume occupied by the individual p
Paladinen [302]

Answer:

The particles that compose a gas are so small compared to the distances between them that the volume of the individual particles can be assumed to be negligible.  

Explanation:

This is a postulate of the Kinetic Molecular Theory.

A is wrong. KMT assumes the that the volume of the particles is negligible.

B is wrong. KMT assumes that the distance between the particles is muck greater than their size.

D is wrong. It takes the large distances as a fact. KMT uses this as an assumption.
